Gents, this is one of my favorite events to kick off my Friday mornings here in the USA, "THE FULL TANK PODCAST!" I love and appreciate the content and both of you as well. (2022 Honda NC750XA)
I have to say, I for one like these news round up-type videos, e.g. 44Teeth News show is a blast, Missenden Flyer’s MCN round up also - I think it just helps keep your audience in the loop generally, from sports, to sales to movies - keep up the good work. Cheers.
So glad that screaming in-line 4, small capacity sports bikes are making a come back...the parallel twin thing is getting soooo dull. The one crucial bit still missing are those lovely delta box style frames, the ZXR4RR and this CF would be absolutely mint if they had a smaller version of the Yam 900GP sub-frame.
I saw the film last week. It was very good with some excellent acting, especially from Jodie Comer. Some beautiful vintage Harley Davidsons, pans, shovels etc and as you said the soundtrack plus the bikes soundtrack was excellent. I would also add that it was done in a documentary style.
The film wasn't what I expected, but I did like it and find it was a good motorcycle movie. I would have to add my first motorcycle movie in tbe mid seventies CC and Company, mad max (only the first one), the wild ones, there was a spanish movie (I can't recall the name) it wasn't to bad, easy rider is a must...
I really loved the papio ss but didny want buy a brand new 125 so i got the grom. I froth at the mouth looking at the 500 voom. I love the bug eye and square headlights of the 80s but if i were to buy an 87 gsxr for my first "real" street bike it would either be a basket case or somebody's baby i end up dropping because im used to groms and dirtbikes not 500lbs machines. I am temped every day to go and finance a gsx8r but boy does the cf moto look cooler and have 2 more cylinders to satiate my boy racer desires lol. Fingers crossed to hear itll be coming stateside hopefully soon
I grew up with Easy Riders, (great film and a must see, especially if you like biking), I have to say I’m staring at Bike Riders down my nose - seems to be trying too hard to be ‘Cool’, which makes it instantly not cool for me personally.
I think you have to remember that it's based closely on Danny Lyons' photo documentary and his accompanying taped recordings shot over several years as a member of the Chicago based Outlaws. So it doesn't have to try to be cool, it just is.
Guys just a heads up but im sure ducati did a 996 matrix as a special and if you can find me one next to it should be some hen teeth and a little bit of rocking horse du du only saying coz I am THE matrix fan 😂 but im sure they did please don't burst my bubble 😂😂😂😂❤
I'm pleased to see Cake is back, a friend and I took the Makka, the Osa and the Kalk for test rides round London last year. Of the three it was the cheapest, the Makka that was the most fun, it's so light, so simple, it feels more like a bicycle you don't have to pedal and 30mph top speed really doesn't matter in Central London. And the comments we got at every set of traffic lights, mostly from 20 somethings, all really interested, all commenting on the Scandinavian styling.
I had been asking Dutch to advocate for a Bike Shed screening of thr Bike Riders. I know he was working on it. Shame the London got one only and not the LA Shed like I was hoping. Cool that Tim got in though! Funny enough i use to work at IMDb. For moto movies tron and tron legacy, biker boys, the great escape and mad max!
😂 hilarious these EV claims for torque, taking the biscuit 😅 ..,comes down to a quirk in how torque is calculated.. if a Rocket could generate it’s torque at zero revs it would probably be over 1000NM, meanwhile EV’s at equivalent to rpm of ICE bikes are just not nearly as torquey once up and running. I’d take the Meaven (?) over the Cake any day,
I’m looking forward to the big reveal! As an owner of a 2017 V7III Racer I’m hoping it’s going to be the Guzzi V7 Classic. But I’d also love to see a ‘15-‘17 Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8v on the channel someday as well!
What age group would you find acceptable to show an interest in the bikes you're making reviews for? Do you have any other criteria before you're approached? Colour/gender/weight/orientation.............
In terms of documentary films, I'd throw in any of Austin Vince's films. He's got a very distinctive style, which for some is a bit Marmite, but they document several long distance motorcycle trips including twice round the world long before the Hollywood touch of Long Way...
