Netflix recommended a couple of movies to me after I added "The
Motorcycle Diaries" to my queue. The movies came in this week and I
watched them last night when the wife was at work.
1. "Choppers: The World of Custom Motorcycles". Run time is about 30
minutes, Camera work is poor, Sound is missing for periods of time. It
is really just a few interviews of "notables" such as Arlen and Cory
Ness, Mike Corbin, Paul Yaffe, J.T. Nesbitt, etc. Plus, a bunch of big
bike week video. Avoid this movie. Two thumbs down from me.
2. "Unofficial History of Harley Davidson". Run time is about 1 hour,
Camera work is poor. The history goes up to about 1970 and there are
some pretty neat close up pictures of the old bikes. I really enjoyed
that part. The bike close ups and history is - unfortunately -
interupted with current day Harley riders talking about the brand and
the lifestyle. So, if you want to see some cool old Harley's, get this
video. Just be ready with the remote to fast-forward through the blather
(you won't be missing anything). One thumb up for the neat old bikes /
one thumb down for the pointless drivel.
