Why We Ride - A good bike fix during lockdown

[Wassers]

Hi all

I watched the film Why We Ride on the telly last night.

Its a great fix for us bike nuts whilst we are in lockdown.

Its available for free on Amazon Prime

Good idea. We should share other online films and videos that help us to get a wee biking fix at this time.

'Speed is my need' on Netflix is worth a watch. It's not fantastic, but worth the time.

Another cracker is "The Worlds Fastest Indian" - true story about Burt Munroe from Invercargill NZ, whose record on the Boneville Salt flats......enjoy!  Sir Anthony Hoppo stars......

Don't think much of hamster

But you can't deny he loves his bikes and is a proper biker...  and therefore IMO he's a good bloke.

I thought it was hilarious. Loving the bit when he said how reliable German bikes are and then struggled to get it started

Another good watch is Henry Coles World's greatest motorcycle rides, especially as the new series has just started and the first 2 shows are in New Zealand.

I'm sure many of us have dreamt about touring NZ, and the programme does not disappoint - it looks amazing, especially southern New Zealand.

Anybody on this forum ever toured there?

Lived there for 14 years in two stints, but never rode there.  Had a stonking 200bhp Caterham 7 though......
