You know, you folks are friends and friends should be able to say what they feel, so I'm gonna say this and if anyone thinks I'm a bit off, then so be it.
I've been riding for 40 years. In those 40 years, I've owned every kind of motorcycle imaginable. I've been an outlaw biker,President of one club and an officer in another. I've been an officer and newsletter editor of a biker rights organization. I've built and sold custom bikes. I've ridden Atlantic to Pacific and back more times than I can remember and just about everywhere in between. I've ridden motorcycles in Hawaii, Japan, Mexico and Canada. I went to Sturgis my first time in 1985 and have been back 5 more times. Went to Daytona every year from 1984 to 1997. I went to Laconia every year from 1969 till I moved to California in 1998. I've had more fun, met more good people, shared more life, love and laughter than most people do in 6 lifetimes. And yet, nobody wants to make a movie about me or my life. I'm nobody's hero or screen idol. I'm just a broken down biker still doing his thing and tryin to figure out what it all means. So I guess it bugs me that an idiot like John Travolta who believes that the earth was colonized by aliens making 10 million or so by pretending to be a biker. Travolta puts all his time and money into aircraft, that's his thing. Also, I don't picture Bill Macey as the motorcycle type. Somehow I think Martin Lawrence is into other things and everyone knows Tim Allen is a car guy. They could have made this movie with Peter Fonda, Jay Leno, Mickey Jones and Will Smith ( I've heard he loves bikes)
I'm with Roger on this one. It isn't about what $20 is to me so much as it's putting money into the whole Hollywood machine. Sometimes I stand on principals that don't mean anything to anyone but me. I understand that and accept whatever criticism I get from this post.
