Perhaps more easy parallels could be drawn between these films and earlier motorcycle movies, such as The Wild One (1953) or The Wild Angels (1966), in which the protagonists are in fact members of violent motorcycle gangs. Akira fits most neatly alongside these:
In this narrative, rather than the outlaw gang terrorizing our protagonists, we are invited into the world of these characters, one of whom becomes the antihero of the story. In terms of its connections with the fearsome gangs of No Blade of Grass and Mad Max, we again see a sense of community established beyond normal society, in which bikers are enabled to travel the frontier of post-apocalyptic environments (in this case Tokyo). Perhaps, then, these narratives, in depicting biker gangs, show that countercultural groups are able to maintain a sense of stability that goes beyond the breakdown of the civilizations they depart from. The morality of these lawless groups is certainly shown by post-apocalyptic narratives as ambiguous, but whereas for other characters the apocalypse does mean the end of the world, for motorcyclists the end of the world does little to impede their freedoms, and may in fact even reinforce them. Though they outlast the societies that have crumbled into ruin, however, there is at all times a sense that these technologies on which they depend must also decay, as Wolfe asserts, though this is at least a slower process for the freewheeling, independent gangs, who possess both a sense of community and an enterprising nature.
The Kawasaki GPZ900R carried the surname Ninja and was a true missile for the time. Its four-cylinder engine and 115 hp of power made it the first production motorcycle to exceed 240 km / h (150 mph).
An aside: Don't forget that if you are going to ride the most advanced on two wheels you also need the best gear. In Andromeda we offer you motorcycle clothing with aerospace technology.
We continue with the list of motorbikes...
It can be said that the first Rambo movie is the deepest in the saga, showing the trauma many Vietnam War veterans suffered. Despite being a dramatic film, no action scenes were missing, and one of them presents us the character of Sylvester Stallone in the forest escaping from the police on a Yamaha XT 250.
Rambo uses this off-road Yamaha to jump over train tracks, cross muddy grounds, and tackle a downhill slope. And as he is Rambo, he does it with the only protection of a tank top, something Andromeda Moto do not advise you to do in real life. You can choose to wear the most advanced motorcycle suit on the market.
Matrix Reloaded was released in 2003, four years after the massive success that was the first film. During it, Trinity (character played by Carrie-Anne Moss), stars in a spectacular chase down the highway on a Ducati 996, avoiding cars and trucks.
Even the anime world has taken a shine to the motorcycling world, Akira is one of the most iconic anime films ever made. It focuses on the story of Tetsuo who is being hunted by the police after becoming telekinetic.
Released in 1973, Electra Glide in Blue follows the story of a small town cop who dreams to become a detective; however after becoming involved in a suspicious suicide it soon leads him into the most dangerous investigation of his career.
Based on the novel by S.E Hilton, Rumble Fish centers around the relationship between Motorcycle Boy, a former gang leader and his younger brother, Rusty James. Rusty aspires to become as feared as Motorcycle Boy.
Consider to be one of the original motorcycling movies of all time, The Wild One tells us the story of Johnny Brando and his gang of motorcycling misfits invading a small town after losing a motorcycle competition.
An iconic biker film following the entertaining and illegal adventures of Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, also starring Jack Nicholson, Easy Ride is one of the most popular American counter-culture films to date.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is considered by critics to be among the best films ever made. Directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, this science-fiction action film is the sequel to The Terminator (1984), and is considered to be one of the rare sequels to outdo its original film.
Most members of SAMCRO ride a customized Harley-Davidson Dyna. The Dyna platform was offered by Harley-Davidson from 1991 to 2017, and featured big V-twin engines and a stripped down, traditional chassis. They are easily recognized by their traditional coil-over suspension connecting the swingarm to the frame, and the position of the oil reservoir in the transmission. They typically featured footpegs and a narrow, XL-style front fork and front wheel. The massively popular Dyna platform was discontinued in 2017 and replaced in 2018 by a completely redesigned Softail chassis, much to the dismay of Dyna fans everywhere.
Wild Hogs is an American comedy directed by Walt Becker about four middle-aged everymen from the suburbs in the midst of their middle-aged crises, escaping their routine lives on weekends by riding in their motorcycle club, the Wild Hogs. The film stars Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy.
Last but not least, Dudley, played by William H. Macy, rides a reddish brown 2006 Sportster 1200 Custom. The Sportster line has been produced continuously by Harley-Davidson since 1957, and are designed to be lighter with more precise handling.
The Harley featured in this film is a V-Rod Muscle. The V-Rod is a line of V-twin cruiser motorcycles made by Harley-Davidson from 1999 until 2017, featuring double overhead camshafts and liquid cooling. They were built to compete with Japanese and American muscle bikes, and were designed as a platform for drag-racing competitions. The unique style of the V-Rod and its technical prowess were so impressive it converted buyers from other brands and even threatened the sales of other Harleys upon its release. The V-Rod was discontinued after the 2017 model year, likely because its engine no longer met the Euro 4 emission standards, and could not be sold in Europe. Dwindling sales may have been another factor in the decision to axe it from the lineup.
In the film, the bike is a unique, matte black, customized 2011 V-Rod Muscle. It has a chopped rear fender, V-Rod Destroyer wheels, rear-set foot controls, a one-off LED headlamp, custom paint, custom oversized drag bars, a straight pipe exhaust, and a custom diamond-stitched leather seat and rear hugger.
Number 5 on the list is another American superhero film. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is based on the Marvel Comics character Wolverine, and was the fourth installment of the X-Men film series. Hugh Jackman stars as Wolverine, Liev Schriber as Sabretooth, and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
The fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, hit theatres in 2008, 19 years after the previous film, and starred familiar faces Harrison Ford and Karen Allen, and newcomers Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf. It was once again directed by Steven Spielberg. It received mixed reviews, despite absolutely nuking the box office with ticket sales.
Number 9 on our list is RoboCop 2, a science fiction action film written by Frank Miller and directed by Irvin Kershner. Peter Weller stars in the title role. The film was nominated for three Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film, Best Performance by a Younger Actor, and Best Special Effects.
The presence of the Harley-Davidson could be reason enough. The rider is an asshole and deserves to go flying over his handlebars for the sole reason that he rides a Harley-Davidson, which is a real mindset that exists for some who see all Harley riders as gangbangers and lawbreakers.
We start straightaway with a real masterpiece that raises the bar for motorcycle travel documentaries to an unprecedented level and is sure to inspire you. A professional filmmaker himself, Daniel Rintz, the protagonist of the film and journey, has delivered a truly wonderful piece of motorbike film art.
Up to now it sounds like an average motorbike travel story like any other. Nothing special you think. But it all changes once you start watching the documentary. The difference being that Daniel Rintz is a professional film maker and photographer. And he proves his talent with this visually stunning travelogue.
To make the film Rintz raised money through a successful kickstarter campaign and spent a year editing all his raw footage. The result shows it..
From the moment the motorcycle documentary starts the spectacular images start hitting you from the screen. There are abundant moments in the film where you really sit on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. The level of detail is stunning and even Marianne, the R80, has a voice-over.
The documentary is as funny as stunning and would easily fit on the National Geographic channel. It is that good.
Somewhere else tomorrow is a spectacularly beautiful and well-told story, a lot more accessible than, say Long way round (reviewed below) and a contemporary version of Mondo Enduro (also reviewed below) with very high image quality that immortalizes Daniel Rintz among the greatest motorbike travel documentary classics.
The kickass motorcycle expedition encountered some serious problems in the Zilov Gap, the 400 mile roadless section in Siberia where they got stuck in the insurmountable amounts of mud and eventually ended up taking the Trans-Siberian railroad and a river barge to circumvent this problem.
The Mondo Enduro round the world motorbike expedition attempted but did not cross the Zilov Gap in Central Siberia, taking the Trans Sib train and a barge instead. This meant they had not made the full loop around the world on their motorbikes. In 2000 a follow-up expedition, Terra Circa, was organised by Dave Greenhough, brother of one of the Mondo Enduro team members. The goal was to make another world spanning motorbike touring trip and documentary and becoming the first motorbike expedition to cross the infamous Zilov Gap.
