Open Road Biker

I have been watching a few Quentin Tarantino movies here lately and while browsing around the internet I ran across this new movie that he is doing “Hell Ride”. It looks like it is going to be a great throwback to ’70s biker flics. It has a host of great actors like Michael Madsen and Dennis Hopper. I haven’t seen a good motorcycle flic in a while so it will be nice when this one comes out. From some of the pictures that I have seen they have some pretty sweet rides in there also. Not a whole lot of trailer queens, all of the bikes look like they have been rode a fair amount. I guess I am going to have to go and dig into my movies and find a good biker movie to tide me over until this one comes out. Here is a list of a few that you can pick up and watch now;
Easy Rider
Wild Hogs
Ghost Rider
Mad Max
The Wild One
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
Bikers From Hell, Triple Feature: Run Angel Run/Hell’s Angels 69/Hell’s Bloody Devils
Do you have any good motorcycle movies that you like? Tell me about them, either in my comments or head on over to the forums and talk about them there. Do you want to read more about the movie? I got the info and the picture from First Look.

They ran 168 MPH in an all electric powered motorcycle pushing the equivalent of 500 HP. Killacycle who has been making headlines for the past few months for their incredible electric motorcycle, wowed the crowd with a record breaking pass on Friday (NOV 10th). They managed to turn a 7.824 in the 1/4 and I imagine they are not going to stop there. They have been steadily increasing the power and speed the bike makes. The last run that was publisized they managed to run a mere 8.168 seconds at 155.78 MPH! Now what if your ride ran that fast?

Check out the video;

You may have also seen this video of his infamous burnout/crash;

I found a video that explores just that and while I agree with the video on most of the stuff, well some I don’t. Essentially though it is a bike that has been slimmed down for just plain hard riding. Nothing extra to come between you and your ride. Well here is the video, tell me what you think;

I am not sure I agree with them, it should be number one but maybe I am just partial;

I found this little video on the net;

The bad thing about it is that it is a fairly neat looking mini chopper.
