Motorcycle

Overview:

Anybody can drive a car and look cool but it takes a real man to drive a motorcycle. You don't just look good while riding a bike though you also can joust, race, and even battle it out.

Knightriders:

Trusty steed

A 1981 film, Knightriders stars Ed Harris as King William leading his gang of knights living modern life through a renaissance fair lifestyle. King William drives a Honda CBX and feels like a true knight aboard his trusty steed as he rides along highways. The ideals of the king and his knights are firm just like the bikes they ride on.

Tron:

What would motorcycles look like inside of a computer and better yet, what would they would be used for? Tron answers that very question, lightcycles. Used for both gaming as well as transportation. The lightcycle inside the computer world is an extension of the individual program or person, putting for the idea that motorcycles themselves aren't just something else to ride around on but rather apart of the person who rides and takes of it.

The Great Escape:

Telling the story of prisoners of war during World War 2, The Great Escape doesn't seem like a movie or story line to have anything to do with motorcycles. But when Steve McQueen's character, Capt. Hilts, escapes from the prison her rides away on a Triumph TR6. Hilts is chased down on his bike and tries to escape by jumping a border crossing, the bike isn't just a means of escape but rather his very life and future.

Easy Rider:

Born to be wild

The most recognizable motorcycle movie stars Dennis Hopper as Billy and Peter Fonda as Wyatt riding Harley Davidson Hydraglides. The two are drug dealers crossing America looking for "freedom" among the failing hippie movement and a generation becoming more and more lost among themselves. Instead of being cloistered inside of a car the two are experiencing some of the freedom they are looking for on two classic bikes. But the bikes also represent their very differences from the America they find along their journey.They are outcasts and criminals riding vehicles of defiance.
