best motorcycle chase, i say the Great Escape Steve McQueen vs. Nazis. Best  couple on a motorcycle, Garden State for me. Coolest motorcycle from a movie, Captin America from Easy Rider. Greatest stunt on a motorcycle, Jackie Chan movie where the girl uses a dirt bike to jump on the train. Worst use, Italin Job Seth Green drops his bike. Best use, Steve McQueen  ecscaping Nazis. You guys agree, disagree.

Hmm...I haven't seen Great Escape (I haven't seen a lot of movies), so at this point in time I'd favor best chase of the Matrix2 over MI2. Haven't seen Garden State or Easy Rider(see parentheses above). Best stunt goes to James Bond (Peirce Brosnan) on the BMW R1200C. Edit: Mm, no, best stunt goes to MI2 over Tomb Raider. Further edit: Best Couple goes to Raiders of the Lost Ark III, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford in the German sidecar. Agreed worst use was the Italian Job. Coolest Use of a motorcycle was in Michael Jackson's movie with the bad guys doin' the burnouts going after Michael when he transformed into the car.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Check out "The motorcycle diaries"... i loved it, two guys cruise around south america (over 13k kilometers) on a Norton 500.  Long road trip like that sounds good right about now...
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

I know that I'm gonna get flack for this, but I actually liked Torque.  It is better with the director's comentary, I swear.

Absolutely agree! :thumb: Although the Garden State couple rides are a good pull too, but no one can come close to the Indy III ride with Dad and Junior.

:lol:  I've never seen it, but been dying to. Sounds horribly terrific! Do you think his pant will provide adequate protection in a crash?

"Word to your mother- Why don't you drop the zero and get with a hero."

The village people movie "Can't Stop the Music" is in the same eschelon of awesomely bad movies.

Yet I'm the only person I've met who has seen both.

I love that bike from Garden State, something like that would be so cool to have just to ride around town on and pick up cute girls :)

No, the best bad movie ever is Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze (unfortunately, no motorcycles).  That Vanilla Ice movie came out when I was in 8th or 9th grade--grossed just over $250 k and was out of the theaters in 2 weeks.  It was similar in theme and in box office reciepts to the Luke Perry vehicle, Eight Seconds, where Luke was a bad-ass rodeo hopefull.  

Best chase:  Great Escape (John, you have got to see that movie)
