Old Motorcycle movies

So the other day I was surfing through Netflix and I tripped on the original "On Any Sunday". I watched it as I did when I was 15 and it was just the same rush. I really loved watching the movie again and now at 37yo it was like seeing it for the first time again.

So tonight I am surfing through Netflix and I find another movie... "Cycles South" about three dudes riding to mexico on their bikes. They start ut in OClorado on BSA's and end up on Kawi two strokes i think... If anyone knows this one please chime in, I was laughing alot but it was a great movie to watch.

In the mid-1960s, I was secretary of a company motor club in Coventry (before I joined N-V). We used to have a "Motoring Movie Club Night" once a month. Back then, Castrol (the lube oil company) had a very large library of auto and motorcycle films which were available for clubs to rent.

It would be interesting to find out what happened to that library - I hope someone had the sense to preserve it . Anyone in the UK know anything about it?

Frank, A lot of that old footage ended up at The National Motor Museum in Beaulieu. I know a chap there who is in charge of transfering it all into digital format for preservation and archiving.

Our local vintage club shows a Motorcycle/Car related movie every Wednesday night. "On any Sunday" was on two weeks ago and it was the first time I saw it.The part at the start where the neighbor is teaching the other guy to ride is hilarious

It's about 100 times better than it's sequel. I would suggest you avoid it if you ever think about watching it

The little kid wheelieing the minibike in the beginning is awesome. I play it every once in a while as sort of a subliminal attempt to make sure my 1yr old will want to ride.
