    Found TimeRider on Netflix, not as good as I remembered it, but that chick is still hot as hell

    Anyone remember silver dream racer? That's probably what got me interested in racing.

    Hi Russ,

    Do you know what bike and the name of the main character in "Silver Dream Racer"?

    Ordered a product from me years ago and I told him I was a fan and loved him in Time Rider
    "ah, the classic" he said...[wasn't he in something else as well?]:D

    Barton Phoenix, main character played by David Essex - Nick Freeman, the bike was ridden in the 1979(?) British GP by Roger Marshall. Never seen the movie but we (racers in the UK at the time) knew it would be bad.

    If you've got 1 1/2 hours to waste and don't mind epic crap, watch this...actually in some ways it's almost worth watching for it's comedy value alone:D

    Its not that bad, remember, I was 13 when I first saw it. Not knowing anything about motorcycle racing helped...

    If you live near Atlanta, we're having a movie night at wow motorcycles in Marietta on feb 22nd. I voted for the new Guy Martin IOM movie as I have a copy but I think On Any Sunday won by popular vote. Free food and drink, discounts at the parts counter, get to hold a "Charlie sucks" sign! :up:

    You guys should start charging for the honor. :)

    The IOM3D movie is pretty good. I had a copy, but I loaned it to my dirtbike riding college student nephew....who said he would drop it on his computer and mail it back....yeah, I'll hold my breathe.....I consider it like I'm infecting him with it. :)

    You may be onto something there Dean. Those seminars you guys hold are pretty good....and I guess On any Sunday has a broader audience to start off your movie nights....but I would vote with you for IOM.

    I am voting with you and Charlie for the IOM movie. I haven't seen it but I understand the 3D makes the racing seem very real. Looking forward to seeing it.

    I'll never forget the scene with SCREAMING two strokes. Then they give you a close up of the tach which is reading something like 4K, with a red line of 5K.

    It's not too too old but I really enjoyed Race For Glory.

    On Any Sunday is a great one too. Malcolm Smith:wow:
