Saw the movie One Week awhile back on Netflix. Unfortunately YouTube only has a trailer or buy or rent.

Ya, I hit that wall also.  
Been thinking how/if we could get around it.
“The Motorcycle Diaries”.  True story about Che Chavara
riding across South America on a motorcycle before he got mixed up with Castro. You gotta buy or rent it. 😟

Where were you in 1960?

They would have to pay me to watch that.
I think it was Castro that got mixed up with Che .

Thanks for the link!
This will be watched.

Just listening to the high rpm long-stroke sound in the intro makes it get on the list of need-to-watch.

No problem Walt.
I'd like to find some kind of ADV movie, besides Easy Rider.

I know one thing, there's a ton of Biker stuff out there.

Lol….yeah I know.  
I looked that guy up, him being from the Ukraine.
He has a website.
Seems to be more of a film/art guy.
How he got the idea to do that trip on a bike is beyond me.

The last things he put up on his site were about the Russians invading, disbelief, wondering why, the stupidity of it all.

He lives in Kiev.  Who knows what’s up there on that.

How the Ozzies do it with KZ's

no more. the club situation got so out of hand that anyone on a harley gets hassled by police.
arabs moved in and took over the drug trade with certain MC clubs.

okay guys....mucho artsey fartsey......from another era......like a lot of the older ones, this one is hard to watch at times.  

Hooked by a few short clips, in a vid we all have seen many a time, it wasn't easy tracking this one down.  And like a lot of the old greats, the full movie is not possible to put up here. At this time anyway.  

So, the 3 segments offered up tonight, hopefully gives us a glimpse to what was cutting edge, a space in time, in a very turbulent era.  1967.  

The clip, really takes a backseat to the late/great Burnside song, "it's bad you know".  
But, the visuals are, put mildly, pretty good also.
And sneaking in there, is, The Girl on a Motorcycle.

Maryanne Faithful, Mick Jaggers girlfriend at the time, has the lead role.  She rides a Norton, likes taking LSD, and riding thru the countryside, all the while thinking about screwing her boyfriend.

Which she handles pretty well, till she gets that Harley....
