Speaker 2:he was kind of like the second, third wave bones brigade yeah so, like you know, 85, 67, I think his, uh, his first pro model dropped. Um, that's the ones, the flaming dagger that was, you know, popular. And then he left, you know, another wave of, like young bloods came on, uh, which would have, I mean, ray barbie and paulo diaz and, uh, guy mariano, there was like a you know the next wave that we're in? Um, oh fuck, what was that? Not future primitive, uh, animal chin? No, after that, uh, propaganda, I can't remember which one is the one that had all the street style stuff, the ray barbie doing like power slides and no complies and stuff, amazing, amazing, yeah, era of palparelta was great, um, but, yeah, there was a big shift and he ended up. What are you talking about? Boom, boom, huck, jam.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, it's, that's it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I knew it then the nitro circus is that thing, um, no, but yeah, tommy guerrero, co-founder of real skateboards, one of my absolute favorite end-all, be-all skateboard companies of all time um, yeah, but he's been doing, um, you know, he's been.

Speaker 1:One of those new Tesla ones? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2:It's actually just a Tesla robot who just stands there and stares at you the entire time and just puts his arm out like this Just offers a hand under you, which is actually just a person controlling the Tesla robot behind the scenes. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you guys saw that the little cameras on urinals.
Speaker 2:Each one of them is manned by a screen. There's a guy in public bathrooms. There's a guy.
Speaker 1:Measuring your debt.
Speaker 2:Is he done? Okay, now he's done and they hit a button. So if you didn't have any insecurities and fears before, yeah, let's play two truths and a lie.
Speaker 1:Listeners and viewers. Uh, the tesla robots were actually controlled by humans, not ai. Uh, the little black circles at urinals are screens that measure your dick size. And, um, people are controlling hurricanes and sending them to Florida only. Oh, it's up to you guys to figure out which of those conspiracies are true or not.
Speaker 2:Because of Florida's political views. Right, that's what.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not. It's not. It's not political, apparently, apparently is no, it's political, it's just florida. Listen here, I don't, I don't care what you think in this life, people, nobody's sending hurricanes to florida, it's just fucking florida. Hurricanes go there. Born and raised there, been dealing with them for 35 years. From that, you want to know what my hurricane prep was. Moving the fuck out of that state. No hate on florida.
Speaker 2:Fucking tattooed on my body, love that place, but hurricanes have hit since you've moved from florida. How many have hit you?
Speaker 1:every year, oh you like, since I've moved, oh, hit me none yeah right, it's yeah far far enough inland. People are always like well, texas gets hit by hurricanes.
Speaker 2:I'm like I'm far enough inland to where I don't see them yeah, I grew up on the beach in north carolina, like southeastern north carolina, so it was like like clockwork you get two hurricanes a year, the second one knocks out your power for a week and I get ringworm and it happened that fucking 15 years.
Speaker 1:Every single year.
Speaker 2:I got ringworm at least once because my dirty little fucking garbage can ass was out in the street playing in floodwaters getting like drug on a trash can lid behind a truck, which don't get me wrong. Hey great time you get some ointment, you rub ointment on your little friend for like a week and then it's gone.
Speaker 1:That's probably the most fun way to get ringworm.
Speaker 3:You know, I have a little hack for ringworm. I didn't know this was going to come up. Okay, band-aid, yeah, a little sliver of garlic. Oh I know about that. One, oh Gone in a day or two Love it. Oh gone, gone in a day or two Love.
Speaker 1:Just like, just like vampires, just like vampires.
Speaker 3:They are vampires. Ringworm.
Speaker 2:Exactly, ringworm is a vampiric fungus yeah. So what's today's?
Speaker 1:topic is ringworm. Uh, no, actually Funny enough.
Speaker 2:You asked today Ringworm.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, today's topic we are going to take a little trip down, speaking of tv and film. Uh, we're just gonna talk about, yeah, like famous iconic motorcycles in tv and film mostly film. Okay, uh, I got a little list. It's not a top 10. I didn't want to go that hokey youtube route and be like top 10 watch mojo's top 10 ways to fucking boo, boo, boo.
Speaker 2:We're to list the top 10 motorcycles ever used in movies.
Speaker 1:Here's Kickflips and Kickstands top 10 hurricane conspiracies. Let me share my screen here. I should be able to do that. Typing sounds.
Speaker 2:I got the flaky clacky here.
Speaker 3:Talk amongst yourselves, Keep starting. I'll be back in literally one second.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, well, and we've lost Grayson. He's out of the podcast.
Speaker 2:Did he go get the fucking six-page essay he wrote on the topic?
Speaker 1:No, I think he's going to get his pancake. That she slips under the door before she leaves for work.
Speaker 2:No, I didn't realize the closet he lived in was a walk-in closet.
Speaker 1:It's the nightly pancake bag. Oh, a little crack, a little crack of the can.
Speaker 2:She's hitting him again, that's for sure. I've returned. Did she hit you?
Speaker 1:What happens there?
Speaker 3:There we go.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, this could be better for YouTube's sake, but I don't care that much. So this is what you guys get here we go, here, we go, here we go. So first we're going to talk about, obviously and this is no particular order, but the first one we have to talk about is the captain america. Uh, from easy rider, the panhead captain america, the fucking chrome jobby, the full chrome job with the american tank. And this, this was the bike that they actually stored the drug. Was it both the bikes in the movie where they put the drugs in the tanks, or was it just this?
Speaker 2:one, I think it was just his bike okay, I don't remember a hundred percent.
Speaker 1:Um, a lot of drugs in that movie. A lot of drugs when I've watched that movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, built by a man named ben hart who was, uh, african-american motorcycle builder. Um, he built both bikes captain america and the billy bike and he was a long time of austin texas, I do believe, and we just lost him. A couple years ago, probably 2018, I believe. Mr hardy passed twice, yeah, no, uh, yeah, I think we lost him in maybe 2018, 2019, something like that. Um, but, uh, yeah, built fantastic motorcycles, uh, and then he also worked with another guy named Cliff balls who was, yeah, also passed away 2016.
Speaker 3:Uh, I actually found out that they're not credited in Easy Rider credits they're not, which is kind of a tragedy it's definitely a tragedy.
Speaker 1:It's a bit fucked, yeah, but I mean, when you like as a movie, great movie, but like there's not a lot to it. There's really no. I mean when, if for them to forget people in the credits, that's not a very uncommon thing right especially especially if, like if you're a builder and you're not showing up to like set.
Speaker 1:I don't, I mean, that was more of a road trip movie, so the set was just like wherever they were going. But but you know, there's always like a sign in and a call sheet and I don't foresee the builders themselves signing that sheet every day to make sure that their names are in the credits.
Speaker 2:Right, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm sure it wasn't like to fucking any malicious intent to not credit them, but it does suck that they weren't.
Speaker 3:They didn't get a little built by there at the end and I'm sure that whole uh production was just fueled by cocaine yeah, absolutely, I was gonna say they were all oh yeah, we got all the drugs at the time yeah, I mean, they were the.
Speaker 1:The fucking scene in the cemetery where you can no longer go into which part of the reason you can't go into that cemetery? Now in new orleans you can, you just have to book a tour. Uh, it's the one where, like marie labose, uh, the like voodoo queen her gravestone is where her site is so many people were like touching it and the oils from the fingers were breaking down the plaster. People were painting on it, um, and then you know, a movie comes out where they're climbing all over the grave sites. Um, that scene. Apparently they were legitimately on drugs. So when you see, um, who was I'm I'm blanking on names dennis hopper or peter fonda. Yeah, when he's fucking breaking down about his mom or whatever, uh, he's actually on, I think, probably mushrooms or LSD. So that's not like an actor. Yeah, that's not an actor acting like they're on drugs. That's a person on drugs, which is great. Talk about method acting. That's how you get the shot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it which is great Talk about method acting.
Speaker 1:That's how you get the shot. Yeah, that's a breakdown. I'm sure the French church wasn't excited when that came out and they saw his ass just fucking climbing all over those statues.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that happens.
Speaker 3:If you haven't taken LSD in your graveyard are you really living?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you gotta take LSD in a field or a graveyard at some point in your life.
Speaker 1:Are you really living? Yeah Right, you got to take LSD in a field or a graveyard at some point in your life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did go through like this phase in, maybe like 2005, where I was just drinking a lot of low-grade cough syrup, dxm, oh, yeah, yeah. I would robo-trip and ride my beach cruiser through this like cemetery near my house and listen to like rocky erickson which cussing out?
Speaker 1:yeah, I think it did some like irreparable damage, but like you know, you got to figure shit out on your own sometimes oh yeah, I mean I'm a product of uh 2000s southern hip-hop, so if I couldn't get codeine I would just put way too much fucking cough syrup and some sprite with some dolly ranchers and pretend it was yeah, toss out with some sprite and some some candies in it yeah, you get enough tussin in you.
Speaker 2:It'll, it'll, it'll do the trick. Uh, this is not an endorsement for anybody listening.
Speaker 1:Uh, I do not yeah, don't do that uh, yeah, dxm is really really bad for you, so don't drink uh prescription or over-the-counter cough syrups to get your jollies just, they're all just gonna do fucking real drugs yeah let's go get some mushrooms or something to be fair, I've never heard you guys cough once I.
Speaker 2:I drank a lot of coffee in my 20s also isn't it great that it was in my 20s and not when I was like 14 yeah, probably good yeah moving on to probably a polar opposite bike here.
Speaker 1:But we have we gotta talk about the Ducati 996 from the Matrix Reloaded. Yeah, it's such a good bike, such a good scene. This is probably one of my bucket list bikes, if I'm being totally honest. Like as far as like sport bikes go. Such a good fucking bike and that scene they built that. That's a practical set.
Speaker 1:That highway fucking car chase scene yeah the fucking the pontiac, valera arrows or whatever they're flipping aren't real, but they uh it was like a um runway or something an old, defunct airport runway that they built the walls and made it look like a fucking actual highway, that they were just ripping this bike up and down with all those cars. That was pretty sick I'm.
Speaker 3:This is the first time, danny, I've ever heard you express interest in like a sport bike, I think I used to be a biker boy.
Speaker 1:The problem with sport bikes is, uh I I. The problem with sports bikes is that there's a lot of uh room for error. There's a lot of a lot more power on that throttle, um, and I was introduced to them at a very young age, a very irresponsible age.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I gained at least enough responsibility to be like to look around and see a lot of my fucking homies dying to their fault. You know a very real ryan dunn shout out rip, ryan dunn. You know when a homie passes and then you hear how they did it and you're like, oh well, that was completely their fault. Um yeah, I just saw a lot of my friends fucking dropping like flies on these things and and I was like maybe I should remove something from this equation.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's when I switched over to like cruisers, like a metric cruisers.
Speaker 2:They call the Japanese version or Harleys you know 300, much, much slower bikes 200 horsepower is I mean, if you're inclined to make bad decisions, one of those being buying sport bikes? Um it's, it's a perfect storm of just.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't know I I talk about a little bit of it, grayson in um, one of my my YouTube videos Kickflips and Kickstands on YouTube. But it's just like I have Ducati homies that are always like shitting on Harleys and I'm like I mean, that's cool that you don't like certain bikes, but it's like you're kind of making most of your personality making fun of other bikes instead of just enjoying yours. You know what I?
Speaker 2:and then when they're like I don't like uh valve adjustments every uh six thousand miles.
Speaker 1:That cost yeah, they're very I pay somebody to do they're very particular and I also like I get that riding uh, especially like a chopper. It's a very archaic yeah um form of transportation.
Speaker 1:There's not much to it, uh. So I could see where someone who likes to ride like ducatis or, uh, bmw fucking s double r rough rider 1000s, uh, but you also. You get one of these bikes, a sport bike, and you can't really use that to its full potential on the road. You got to take that bitch to a track or you're going to die, like many of my homies in the past. So I mean, there's two sides to every story.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And Ducati is Italiano, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2:Yes, they're bologna bikes, they come from Italy.
Speaker 1:A lot of prestige worldwide behind them too. Honestly, though, if I I mean, this Ducati is sick and I would never say no to one. This picture says 998, but in the movie it was a 996, I believe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think, and in the movie it was a nine, nine, six I believe, yeah, I think, yeah.
Speaker 1:And in the in the movie biker boys or it wasn't torque, torque is the one where they fight with the bikes.
Speaker 1:In the movie biker boys, um, uh, yeah yeah, in either of these, one of them has one of them has kid rock and lawrence fishburne, um, and another one has where they like joust and like do wheelies and like they wheelie into each other, like they like do like fucking 90 degree wheelies into each other to like fucking. It's crazy. I don't remember which one is which. They're both terrible. Watch them, though. They're great. Yeah, I'm an advocate for watching terrible movies, but, uh, one of the one of the one of the spanish, like the very obviously puerto rican dude, and I'll pull up the actor and you guys be like, oh yeah, that guy, he's riding what looks like a ducati 996 but it's a suzuki gsxr with a ducati body conversion on it.
Speaker 1:Cool, because I guess they couldn't get the ducati for the movie I'm not talking about yeah, what the hell is that you know what you know it's way easier and less money getting one bike and making it look like another bike yeah, nobody had 1400 laying around yeah um we're gonna stick, stick to the uh sport bikes here for a second and move on to another one that probably, I would say, just as or more iconic, and that is the 1985 kawasaki gpz 900r or ninja from top gun yeah it's the one where fucking tom cruise is ripping down the fucking airstrip look at that ass ugly.
Speaker 2:Look at the headlight.
Speaker 1:I know, look at that like the, the fucking the. Uh, what's the word? The wave runner seat. You know, all those 80s, mid to late 80s sport bikes had the two up banana seat it's a yeah it's a seat like yeah, uh, I'm contractually obligated to mention that my mom is in top gun oh yeah, forgot about wait what? The original or the? The new one? The original? What did she do? What? Where is she? An extra?
Speaker 3:uh, yeah, she's in the volleyball scene. She's in a quick, like a quick pan. She's kind blur in that one. Now she did have a speaking role where she's being an admin assistant, but it was cut from the movie. But yeah, my mom had lunch with Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise and all that shit. Are you good with Grayson's?
Speaker 2:fucking Top Gun, you can. This is how we all love Grayson.
Speaker 1:I'm pulling up the volleyball scene. Can you guys hear it or no?
Speaker 3:okay, so she could point it out better than me, but she's in the bleachers. As a quick camera pan you're not gonna like be able to you guys can't hear it, right, you can't hear the the video no, no okay, that's fine, because it's probably copywritten, so we can't.
Speaker 1:There's bleachers right there yeah, she any any time here, grayson well, okay, hold on.
Speaker 3:I mean you're gonna have to go through the whole scene.
Speaker 2:Grayson's mom plays that guy's mustache.
Speaker 1:This is all dudes. Now they're in way short shorts. Well, no, actually no one's in a crop top. Men wear crop tops, then, but they're either shirtless or okay. No, okay, we got to pause the whole episode to find Grace's mom in a Top Gun. There's Tom Cruise with his center.
Speaker 3:Maybe this is where I ask her to. I'll film a little vignette with her of her pointing out and telling a Top Gun story.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Is that her back there? No, that's a guy, this is.
Speaker 2:It's crazy how there are a lot of dudes there to watch this shirtless volleyball match yeah, oh, nope again.
Speaker 1:All men in the background keep going, you guys. Was this movie for gay people? I could have been it wasn't not the, it wasn't I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:I feel it's like this movie was very much marketed towards men, but I'm pretty sure women and the gays loved it just as much. Oh yeah, Keep going. Where are we at?
Speaker 2:We got 30 seconds left. I think I saw her did you?
Speaker 1:no, come on, check, check back a little bit. Oh oh, come on, come on, look, I'm not seeing any women.
Speaker 3:I want to say that left bleacher, but keep going and keep going, and if you're going, it's almost over I know, is that her no?
Speaker 1:all right.
Speaker 3:Well, now I'm gonna, I'm going to so Grayson's a liar everyone. All right no.
Speaker 1:If anyone's a liar.
Speaker 3:it's my mom, but I have other evidence that she's in touch.
Speaker 1:Wow, dude, we got it on wax. Flip it Send it to Grayson's mom.
Speaker 3:But I will film a little thing with her pointing out and doing a little like action replay Like there.
Speaker 1:I am.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:Just make sure she does it before Monday so I can clip it into all the social media content.
Speaker 3:Oh, before Monday you said that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2:So maybe just take my word for it. You've got to buy me a plane ticket. I've got to fly to Arkansas real quick, a lot of excuses, a lot of excuses.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, keeping with the Kawasaki's, with the fucking Kawasaki Heavy Industries, we're moving on to. Our next bike is the ZZR250 from Kill Bill, the yellow job. I feel like this is worthy of being on this list. You know, very iconic scene when she shows up in Japan and goes and fights the crazy 88 at the fucking club, while the what was it? The five, six, seven, eight are playing in the background.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1:A very, very Japanese scene. You know, Another sick bike.
Speaker 2:So yellow that one looks very yellow.
Speaker 3:Huh, here's a question Are the wheelbases on motorcycles?
Speaker 2:different or are they standard?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's different based on no, they're different, for sure yeah, I mean the earlier it's funny you bring that up and also great that you bring that up, because the earlier sport bikes had shorter wheelbases, made them very squirrely, a lot more responsive but also fucking crazier to ride. So yeah, as the years progressed they started to stretch them a little bit just because, like we were saying earlier, there's so much power. Like you could see, this one, like the rear wheel, is tucked well under the like rear section, the subframe and the tail, whereas, like now later model sport bikes you'll see, it's like usually the rear wheels kind of pushed out to where it's like flush with wherever the tail ends well, it's funny you say that because I was going to say this bike looks long.
Speaker 3:To me, this one looks long.
Speaker 2:Yeah the one. Yeah, if you look at some of the ones that sit lower, that top corner, um thumbnail? Yeah, it looks like, but I think that's because it's compressed and it looks like that that wheel sits further back. But yeah, what's this one right?
Speaker 3:here, so it's a cartoon oh yeah, yeah, I could. I also thought it was a picture but, this one the reason too.
Speaker 1:That's the reason I said it looks long is that this one's long too, but it could. This one could be just one, that was they also stretch and extend them too yeah, it might just be an extended swing arm on that one but this one right here looks pretty close to stock. So that's why you can see, like you see this little bit right here, where the uh the tag would go, and then the uh rear wheel is tucked even further in from that god, that bike is so yellow yeah, it's very yellow, straight banana styles of styles.
Speaker 1:All right, let's see what else do we got here. Next on our list we have, uh, the wild one, marlon brando's. I think it's like a 19. The movie is 1953, so it has to be earlier than that it's the thunderbird, yeah, it's a 1950 triumph thunderbird pretty, I mean Triumph, itself an iconic brand.
Speaker 1:You can see it in a lot of other movies, but this is the one that Marlon Brando rode around in the wild. One Another sick bike, but we would love to have one of these too. I mean, what you'll start to pick up is I don't I don't discriminate any of these bikes I would take. Is I don't discriminate any of these bikes I would take.
Speaker 3:I actually heard that Triumph didn't love that bike being in this movie.
Speaker 2:They did not.
Speaker 3:Because it was when they were combating the whole one percenter narrative. This didn't help.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they thought it brought bad press to the company, allegedly I don't know Jokes on on that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it's one of the coolest people on one of their coolest bikes. How you know, like there's what, what, what could go?
Speaker 2:wrong I mean that whole fucking top to bottom marlon brando leather jacket, jeans, fucking tough guy motorcycle thing is. I mean look how well that is held up yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:I mean. Everyone's trying to emulate that, and even when they're not, they're either trying to emulate it or trying to just make fun of it on the internet while they also try to emulate it.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, yeah, go to a bike night in Brooklyn, oh just looks like a.
Speaker 2:BRD parked on Dobbin Block Shout out. Brooklyn motorcycle dudes.
Speaker 1:What do we have?
Speaker 2:next. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1:A little fucking mohawk right there, a little wind catcher on the front fender.
Speaker 3:Look at that. Do you think that's? Does that affect aerodynamics?
Speaker 1:I mean to an extent, but the bike is already so slow Like you're not, you're not going fucking 200 miles an hour on this thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were. They were what it's got that 50s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think 650s. That's going to rattle off before the aerodynamics really fucking. Okay, we're getting back into some Hurley Davidsons. On this next one we got a shout out the Harley Davidson Fat Boy from Terminator 2.
Speaker 2:Yes, which On my list?
Speaker 1:This right here. It says this right here, saying the actual one auctioned for $200,000. One of the screen used one which, for I believe this was a 1990. I think it was a 1990. Yeah, fat Boy, way too much money. Way too much money for. Yeah, I believe this was a 1990. I think it was a 1990. Batboy, way too much money.
Speaker 2:Way too much money for a yeah, I think the going rate on one of those on the used marker right now is about $2500. I was gonna say 5 grand maybe.
Speaker 1:So that's quite the, but I get it it's screen used.
Speaker 2:I mean again this fucking scene where he just stops and pulls the fucking sawed off out yeah and shoots at the like the grill of the semi, chasing them that's jumping off bridges and I mean there's so much ridiculous stunt work done in that movie. Uh, what was? The only thing more iconic yeah, I was gonna say what? What was the? The bike that uh edward furlong was riding?
Speaker 1:that dirt bike is that a I don't remember probably I don't remember what that bike was, but that the only thing more iconic than this bike in this scene is that they shot it in the fucking la river.
Speaker 2:Quote unquote river well, I know there was something with, uh, with the dirt bike that eddie furlong was riding, where they changed the. They took like when he was riding through the parking garage. They changed the um, the engine noises.
Speaker 1:They like subbed in like a four-stroke engine noise oh yeah, listen, I'm glad you brought that up, because that's another thing yeah is like in tv. I mean, they don't do their jobs well when they. When we're talking about that like there's so many of these scenes with bikes or even cars where it fucking starts up and rips away, and it's very clearly the wrong sounding engine I'm like come on, you're fucking.
Speaker 1:You're getting paid at least 30 bucks an hour to do the sound design for this tv or movie the only, honestly, one of the best, one of the best uh instances where that worked out really well was in once upon a time in hollywood, uh, that brad pitt's character rips away on a triumph, on an old triumph actually, um, and it's, it's accurate, the sound, the engine sounds accurate to the bike, like I've geeked out in theater and like turned to Heather and was like babe, cause I always fucking whenever we watch something and it's wrong, I'm like Jesus, they fucked it up. They had one job and they fucked it up, but in that movie I it up, but in that movie I'm like they actually did it.
Speaker 2:They did it right, yeah. Yeah, do you want to talk about, uh, any motorcycle movie flubs? Anything pop into into mind just off the?
Speaker 1:top. Oh yeah, the first thing that comes into mind is the tv show glow. Love the tv show, glow, amazing show. Check it out, um. But there's a scene where someone rides in on a bike and that's. That show is set in the 80s. What was a gorgeous ladies wrestling ran? Was that mid 80s, late 80s?
Speaker 1:yeah, 84 to 89 or something, 88, 89, yeah I'm like I mean someone rides in yeah, someone rides in back of the ring so you can only see like the top half of the tank and the bars. But it's very clearly a 2010 Harley Sportster iron, the all the matte black one. It's so much that bike that's supposed to be in the 80s. And I'm like, fuck man, again you have one job you can't. And there's I mean they're shooting that in california.
Speaker 2:I know plenty of people in california with like a period correct bikes that they could have used yeah, I'd say you can get a 1980 cone shovel, but I don't know if any of them work um yeah, no anyway, uh, and then what was the other one, indiana?
Speaker 1:jones, a fucking shia of Buffs or whatever that one was called Indiana Jones in the kingdom of the Shia LaBeouf.
Speaker 2:He had. I mean, it was like a belt drive, fucking sports.
Speaker 1:It's like a soft tail right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like a. Yeah, it was like a belt drive, soft tail or something that they used. You know he had on the full like Wild One costume, but yeah, he was riding a, it was. That one was pretty silly, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:Indiana Jones Crystal Skull motorcycle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what does that bring us up?
Speaker 1:Here we go. It's an 06, something or other, it's just an 06.
Speaker 2:It's like a phones or something. I think it might be the yeah, look at that fucking twin cam right there, Belt drive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like they did an okay job with, like the front fender and the bars, but even like the controls look like that. It's 2006. Yeah, hey, hydraulic brakes, much, and this and this was set in what the 40s I think.
Speaker 2:I think 1930s, 40 something. So that would have been a hundred percent, would have been a fucking mechanical break set up. Knuckle, knuckle pan yeah Mechanical drum.
Speaker 3:You're, you're. I actually liked that movie. I know that's like really hot, do you?
Speaker 2:Wow, get these weird.
Speaker 1:No, I mean that's right we just coming at Grayson.
Speaker 3:I'm just look you if I like no, I mean that's right, we just. I'm just Look, if I like a franchise, I don't care how shitty it gets. I liked Walking.
Speaker 1:Dead. I'm with you on that. I love the aliens and the Predator movies, no matter which one. Give me an alien or a Predator, or an alien versus Predator Both shitty movies. But hey, you put them all together for me. We just recently watched Van Helsing. When was the last time you guys watched Van Helsing? Oh tomorrow right after this. Do you remember whether it was good or not?
Speaker 3:I remember it being good, you remember it. I remember Danny, can you cut?
Speaker 2:his feed.
Speaker 1:He's doing the words thing again I use many word when you do trick you have all the all the best words, terrific work uh, it was.
Speaker 3:Wait is van halen, good or no?
Speaker 1:no, it's not oh, it's well it's messy tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, I was surprised. Um, okay, so next one. I I thought about not mentioning this, but then I figured I had to. It's the honda cm 400 from purple. It's Prince's automatic 400cc Honda.
Speaker 3:That's the most princess bike you ever can make.
Speaker 1:Do you guys think Prince is shifting gears in those boots?
Speaker 2:He's got better shit to do than shift gears?
Speaker 1:But also so many people make fun of this bike for what it is being like a 400cc Honda with a better bearing on the front and like the king and queen-esque seat and sissy bar. But who else is pulling up to the bar on this thing dressed like that and taking whatever they want home?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I will say like there has never been a wetter motorcycle seat than that one.
Speaker 1:And it's not from the Jerry Curl juice.
Speaker 2:It's soaked all the way through as soon as you sit on that thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's riding up in taller heels than your girl and taking her home.
Speaker 2:He can roll up side saddle and you're still like I'm not even in.
Speaker 1:He probably would, he probably did roll up side saddle and you're still like I'm not even he probably would, he probably did roll up side saddle, yeah, yeah this thing runs off jerry curl juice and the water is from lake minnetonka.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, prince isn't going to disgrace his groin by putting it on a motorcycle seat.
Speaker 2:He's going to sit gingerly on the side and just point at you not even twisting the throttle, but just accelerate, pointing at you as he rides away yeah you're like fucking prince.
Speaker 3:He'll say shit like get in. And you're like okay, get in.
Speaker 2:You mean on yeah, drops you off 10 minutes later and just says you're pregnant now and leaves.
Speaker 3:Pregnant again I'll send you.
Speaker 2:This is what he shows up to to play a game of basketball, wait, I like in all of the scroll up a little bit on your screen, how there's just that fucking amount. Yeah, just a single.
Speaker 1:The what?
Speaker 2:Scroll down a little bit. Yeah, scroll down. It's all pictures of Prince's motorcycle, and then there was just a mountain bike.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:There yeah.
Speaker 1:The SE Big Ripper, purple Rain edition, it's just purple.
Speaker 2:Yeah, prince rode that. Yeah, same, same same engine Probably.
Speaker 3:Yeah, same engine.
Speaker 1:So this is that bike, without Prince, and being purple, it's a pretty dumb bike.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, when you put it without the Prince in the background it kind of looks like shit yeah.
Speaker 1:Without being purple and being in a smoky alleyway and having Prince on it Covered entirely by Prince.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't want to have sex with whoever rides that thing, unless it's Prince, of course. Anybody, anybody.
Speaker 2:Nobody.
Speaker 1:All right, and then, staying on the small bike wave, I had to mention the Yamaha XT250 from First Blood Classic. Yeah, that fucking Rambo rips around. Such a good scene.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Fucking Sly Stallone on a fucking Yamaha.
Speaker 3:See my civilian eyes, see that and say that's a dirt bike. Would I be right to say that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's an enduro Dirt bike enduro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a enduro dirt bike enduro. Yeah, dual sport sport. So it's a. It's a street legal, less capable dirt bikes like dirt bikes are, which, when you talk about, when we're talking about like this era of dirt bikes, they're all steel, they're. They're not as sophisticated as they are now. So, like back in these days, the difference between a dirt bike and enduro isn't as big as like now. You know, dirt bikes are very, um, very purpose-made. They're using a lot of aluminum parts. Now they're a lot lighter versus like enduros, which is like it's gonna be. It's like it's got a front light, it it's got a tail light, it's got turn signals, a horn. You can put a tag on it and register it and ride it around legally on the road. There's beefier and heavier steel frame. What have you? Things like that Different components that make it road legal are going to make?
Speaker 3:it less fun. Yeah, I mean it's got to hold Rambo up, so it's got to be kind of strong.
Speaker 2:Can I get away from that bike to another good small bike that I really love. So it is from my second favorite motorcycle manufacturer in the fantastic movie Phantasm from 1979.
Speaker 3:Our young protagonist.
Speaker 2:Mike is riding around on a 1976 Hodaka Road Toad.
Speaker 1:Which is a 100cc two stroke.
Speaker 2:I love Hodakas. You know I've got a couple of Hodaka projects that I'm eventually going to do something with build, but yeah, that's. Yeah, I just thought that was a cool one. It's definitely worth mentioning. It's, you know, a little slept on Phantasm movies are. You know people have opinions about them, but I mean I mean it can't be any worse than Van Helsing, not me.
Speaker 2:It's eclipsed by, like you know, there's a like a 1970 or 71 Challenger in the movie that everyone's like oh yeah, the fucking Dodge Challenger from Phantasm. You're like it's cool, it's my favorite car, but also.
Speaker 1:Classic gone in 60 seconds. Situation you know, everyone always talk about that fucking Mustang yeah.
Speaker 2:Nobody talks about Angelina Jolie with blonde dreads. That's the real star. That's who you should have been stealing in that movie yeah, platinum, dreaded Angelina Jolie.
Speaker 1:But everyone's like have you seen that? Fucking Eleanor Mustang? You idiot, you're looking at the wrong thing, alright that's a good one what do we got next? We're going back to jolly old England with the Triumph TR6 Trophy from the Great Escape. Now we're moving to Steve McQueen another iconic, cool guy.
Speaker 2:The 60s.
Speaker 1:Very much a cool guy 61, like early 60s TR6. Yeah, which again?
Speaker 1:all of these movies that these bikes are in fucking great movies yeah if you look up, yeah if you look up, uh like, you know top 10 motorcycles in film, watch all the movies, you're not gonna have a bad time. It's not like you're gonna like I don't know. I don't know if it's like which came first. It's a chicken and egg situation where it's like was it a good movie because of the bike or was it a good bike because of the movie, vice versa, like right I think it's just very serendipitous that all these bikes are in these movies and none of the movies suck.
Speaker 1:None of the bikes suck, it's just one of those.
Speaker 2:There have probably been some dog shit movies in history that had cool stuff in them that we just never saw because they were dog shit movies. They never really made it out of the you know off the cutting board, your torques, your biker boys. Yeah, yeah, awful movies. Maybe a hot take, but Harley Davidson and the Marlboro man Not a great movie had some kind of not great bikes, but they're definitely iconic bikes.
Speaker 2:There was another. It was another fat boy in that one that fucking Mickey Rourke was riding. I think I was a fat boy with a solid disc rims.
Speaker 2:I haven't, and I haven't seen that movie in 10 years at least, and I was probably shit-faced last time I saw it. So I can only tell you so much about it. I remember that one being like oh it's fucking cool, there's bikes as a key element. Cool thing about that TR6 that Steve McQueen was riding all through the filming of the Great Escape is that he was, you know, an avid race car driver, motorcycle racer.
Speaker 1:He was doing most of the stunts right.
Speaker 2:He did almost all of the stunts, the main stunts, where he jumps over the fence like the barbed wire fence jump, that was. But yeah, and that's just because they absolutely the. The.
Speaker 1:The studio was like, if you fucking try to do on your own, we're gonna like hey, steve, don't jump this bike over a barbed wire fence death in the parking lot for your own sake yeah it wouldn't let this entire movie is riding on your star power, so so don't do that.
Speaker 2:But, that being said, you know Bud Ekins and Hal Needham are the two greatest like classic stuntmen of all time and both of them did fantastic work. But that one was specifically Bud Ekins. Steve McQueen, you know, storied, storied motorcycle race career went under the alias of harvey mushman to secretly race and all of these things, because he couldn't enter his steve mcqueen. So he had to show up like in full fucking garb with a helmet on, scarves over his face and stuff so you couldn't see him. So he had to play like the role of the mystery man and then people kind of caught on like oh, is that fucking steve mcqueen here at like our local regional fucking trials race or whatever. And yeah, you know, but I mean that's such a cool, such cool legacy to have and such a cool approach to you know, fucking chasing your passion, chasing the thing you love, even when you're fucking like we should do a historical episode on them.
Speaker 2:I'm 100 on board with that big steve mcqueen fan.
Speaker 3:So if you watch great escape, uh, and you look at some of the nazis in chasing him, some of them are also him, oh, oh, because, like they were, they were short on like good motorcycle riders and he was so good they're like let's get another shot of you chasing, chasing you, yeah.
Speaker 2:Steve had to be his own, his own personal Nazi. Yeah, that's, you know, that's a good one.
Speaker 1:If I had a dollar for every time. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Have you guys, have you guys seen? Any good, uh, uh, newer motorcycle movies. Maybe that came out in the last year or so.
Speaker 1:In the last year.
Speaker 3:Let me think of a Tom Hardy movies I've seen in the last year Specifically.
Speaker 1:What Jason Momoa movies Did? He have an underwater motorcycle in Aquaman.
Speaker 2:I think that's the one. Aquaman is the next subject. Um, yeah, in the film you have to give a shout out uh, the motorcycles that they chose for the bike riders came out earlier this year. You know, with the exception of a couple small. If you're just an absolute fucking super nerd on motorcycles and chopper stuff, there's a couple things where you're like, uh, but I think those were possibly thrown in there for people to people like us, to be like. Ah, that's the fucking rocker boxes on that iron head. When did that? You know? They didn't change over to that rocker box shape till 70 um and then, yeah, I got, I got it um I got a little secret for you on that one that's not an Easter egg, that's just Hollywood not caring.
Speaker 2:But the thing is like, most of the bikes in the movie belong to you know. Some were Oliver Peck, some of them were. I think they maybe used Dan Auerbach's bike, yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:A couple from like Wheels Through Time or something Like everybody who was like affiliated with the motorcycle. But there's one specific bike in the movie that I really, really appreciated and that was, you know, the hero bike, the main, uh, fucking elvis butler, austin butler, uh, the bike that he was riding it was a 65, 65 electric glide, but that was the first year with electric start on a big twin and it was the last year of the panhead, so it was the only year of electric start panhead, even though no prime, no ignition switch.
Speaker 2:Fucking one kick started that bike multiple times in the movie. Electric start was an option on that one, so anyway there's a fucking in depth aside, I haven't seen that movie yet.
Speaker 1:I've just seen all of the memes about it how have you not seen that? Movie yet.
Speaker 3:I figured how have you not seen that movie yet?
Speaker 1:I don't care about motorcycles that much. You know what the fuck the things I care about motorcycles, that much.
Speaker 2:you know what the fuck the things I care about in this world, it's titties and fire the motorcycles are just a byproduct of all of this.
Speaker 1:Spoiler alert. No, I can't Listen, guys, I care about motorcycles. It's just like do I want to go to the movies or do I want to just wait until it's free on streaming.
Speaker 2:It's been free on streaming.
Speaker 1:That's where the care is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it's free right now. Yeah, it's been free for fucking four months, dude.
Speaker 1:Okay, guess what? I'll watch it tomorrow, and I'll have watched it before this episode comes out.
Speaker 2:Boom, controversy, fucking offense. You're like yeah.
Speaker 1:Offense. Bike Riders was like fucking van helsing, but with motorcycles it was so good. Yeah, so you know, I mean, I saw, I, I saw the plethora of memes that came out the opening weekend of that movie and then I saw all the people making the memes making fun of it go watch it opening weekend of that movie.
Speaker 2:So that's my uh, that's my fucking yeah, just stay strong and break down just just accidentally boycott, all right, uh, what else do we got? Do we have?
Speaker 1:um I got do.
Speaker 2:We have the greatest motorcycle of all time left. Is that the one to talk about the greatest?
Speaker 1:what is that?
Speaker 2:greatest film, motorcycle, I think you know what bike what is it?
Speaker 1:I don't think I know what he's talking about he's a little bike. That's the hog oh no, no, I'll get there. I'll say I got some honorable mentions, that uh talk about those again these next two.
Speaker 1:I don't think the bikes themselves are. They're great bikes. They're not as iconic or amazing as everything else that we were talking about, but I think that the movies that they were in and the scenes that they were in in these movies just speak for themselves in our little great bits of cinema. If you want to get into the fucking movie, film bro explanation. But my first one we're going back to fucking Italy is the Ducati Sport Classic from Tron Legacy.
Speaker 1:That scene before they get all fucking which the whole movie. Amazing movie, great movie, great score, it's just a good fun movie. But before they get all super digital, the scene where fucking I forget his name in real life but sam flynn is fucking running from the cops and that one daft punk song is playing in the background, I remember vividly. I went this is back when midnight releases were actually midnight releases and not Thursday at 6 pm- yeah, 3 am. Yeah, me and my homie Mike. Shout out Mike he's getting married soon.
Speaker 1:We went to the midnight release with a couple of other friends and we got into the parking lot and hotboxed his I think he had a honda element at the time. We hotboxed his honda element and we were trying to and it was. This was also before. So, like midnight releases, it was just midnight on thursday and it wasn't any of that fucking picking your own seat beforehand. Fuck shit. It was like you got to get there and get your seat it's about, if you want a good one, get there earlier.
Speaker 1:So we're there and we're about to not get good seats. So we're walking up to the movie theater. We're already kind of running late and our homies that were running late text us and like do you guys want to smoke? We'd already smoked in his car. So we're like I guess I could do a whole other 15 minute smoke sesh in another car. So we went into this movie violently high and I, out of the six people I was with, was the only one that had ridden at the time and it cuts to that scene where he's ripping between the fucking cars on the highway while that song's playing on that Ducati and I just fucking leaned back and fucking pushed two of my friends back by the chest and I was like you guys this is what riding at night irresponsibly feels like, like I can.
Speaker 1:I cannot put into words any better than how they just did with this movie and that bike and this song. How it feels like. Picture it being like 70 degrees at night and you're just ripping on a bike in the highway, weaving between traffic and this is it. It's this scene right here. It feels exactly like. If you've never done it, just watch this over and over, maybe while you're a little high, and you'll get it. Man, we lost josh we lost josh.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna use that opportunity. I'll be right back in one second he's back oh, oh, actually still give me a second okay oh, hey we lost josh for a second.
Speaker 1:Okay, oh hey, we lost Josh for a second.
Speaker 2:I'm back, what's?
Speaker 1:up dudes. He's back.
Speaker 2:I'm back Where's Grayson Is.
Speaker 1:Grayson still here. He went to pee.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 1:All right, but yeah, this, and it's only in, it's like fucking, it's not blinking, you'll miss it. It's a very focused scene, but I don't know it's just so well done and barely in the movie, but it makes a lasting impression.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's another bucket list bike for sure. I think Josh's AOL five-hour trial is up.
Speaker 2:My internet that came on a CD is running.
Speaker 1:I'm going to have to boot up another disc.
Speaker 2:Bear with me, I've got to fucking.
Speaker 3:Steve Jobs.
Speaker 1:Oh, that would be hilarious, josh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, can you hear me? Oh, josh, does anybody see me? I'm here, I promise.
Speaker 3:Where'd Josh go? Beans on toast.
Speaker 1:Boom, just got paid for another taillight.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:Can you guys not see or hear me?
Speaker 1:Give me my money.
Speaker 3:Okay let's go. That's my favorite one. It's so Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1:That's my favorite one, it's so good, let's go. The scene that it's from, too, is that kid and his dad.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dad's just watching. Come here, Matt. Yeah, get up here, motherfucker.
Speaker 1:Did we lose Josh permanently? Nah?
Speaker 3:He's just probably out cranking the generator right now oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:So many people in florida without power. It's crazy. We got a cat on screen. Well, while we get josh, while we wait to get Josh back, we have a brief cat intermission.
Speaker 3:Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
Speaker 1:He just sent a picture of him seeing. Can y'all not hear me? No, oh, there's a chat. I forgot there's a chat feature.
Speaker 3:Where's chat.
Speaker 1:How do we get to the chat? Livestream chat. Meow, meow, I'm in the chat. I miss you. No, I can't hear or see you. Next one's the one, though. Next one is the one I believe he was talking about. I can hear and see all this damn dude. Damn son, where'd you find this?
Speaker 3:you can't tell me, help me.
Speaker 1:Well, here it is the hog, is it? This is the hog? Right, the dumb and dumber mini bike? Oh, again, not, this isn't uh. So this bike isn't like fucking, it's not a great bike, you know, I mean, but because it's that scene in that movie it's fucking amazing and they do the trip to aspen on it. It's so, it's so iconic that, just like, I think a year or two ago, um, a couple dudes this one right here, a couple dudes on youtube actually did the trip on the mini bike oh, wow from um, what was it what?
Speaker 1:somewhere in colorado, I think it was like 400 miles or some shit, to aspen they. They modified it a little bit, they extended the bike and made it a little more kansas to aspen, something like that. Um, samsonite, it's uh is.
Speaker 3:Does that? No, that's not like they don't sell that bike on the market, that's just they do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can buy this. Yeah, this is you get what's it called you could get.
Speaker 1:I mean the dumb and dumber bike. No, it's not, it's like a. It's a, uh, swanson simpson um, it's a. It's. This one's probably like maybe a coleman or something. I don't know what the actual one from dumb and dumber is, but you can buy like an updated version, cause this is probably you know when did dumb and dumber come out? In 93 or some shit, um, but you can go to like tractor supply and buy a little bike like this for like 800 bucks and rip it around. That maybe that's not not street legal at all. I, I mean, you could probably write it on the sidewalk from your apartment to stag. For sure I can write it on the street laws are just letters on a page.
Speaker 3:I don't.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't care about that I I rode to help josh and rode back on a bike that I don't have a title for. Spoiler alert. What are they going to do? Throw me in fucking no-title bike jail.
Speaker 3:They probably could Maybe yeah.
Speaker 1:If they really wanted to, they could, but I'm not harming anyone. Their minibike sold in 2018 for $50,000. Again, that and the fucking fat boy from Terminator just because it was in a movie doesn't mean it needs to sell for this many money. Jokes on you, whoever bought that yeah tassels four dollars yeah, josh, have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?
Speaker 3:yeah, reboot the mainframe. Oh, he's hacking into the megapixels.
Speaker 2:Am I in the mainframe?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're in.
Speaker 2:Welcome back to the Matrix, guys.
Speaker 1:Classic hacker movie. I'm in.
Speaker 2:Great that we have a chat now. That's a thing.
Speaker 1:We got it all. Hold on, I lost a feed, oh shit.
Speaker 2:No, no, we're coming back, we're coming back we're coming back. I hacked the mainframe too quick yeah, you gotta be careful with that, but yeah the fucking hog again.
Speaker 1:Like I was saying, this isn't an amazing bike by any means oh, it's dumb as shit, but man but this is, this isn't the movie. This is actually the dudes that did it.
Speaker 2:A couple, I think a year or two ago. That's very funny.
Speaker 1:But they did the whole set. They extended the frame, they gave it some creature comforts, but they kept the fucking wheels, the engine, everything else.
Speaker 2:I like the wheelie bar on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just in case they even had the fucking briefcase boots on you, yeah oh my god, such a good, such a good scene. That wasn't even like a scene, it was, it was a whole, it was a whole part of the movie. But yeah, the dudes that did it, it was so cold. They did this road trip and as they got up into fucking elevation, some higher elevations, it just got colder and colder and like riding a bike in the cold already sucks, but when you're on something this small, it's not even creating enough heat to like fucking radiate around your legs. You're just only cold. Oh my God, if you haven't seen this video on YouTube, I highly encourage any and all of y'all to go watch it, because it's very much worth the watch that's awesome, yeah also, if you've never seen dumb and dumber for some ridiculous reason, please go and watch it, uh you gotta watch it obviously jim carrey.
Speaker 2:Jeff daniels is a goddamn comedic genius in that movie. Honestly, I like Jeff Daniels more than Jim Carrey in that movie, just because of the subtlety of his stupidity.
Speaker 1:Hot takes here from Josh.
Speaker 2:No, it's fine, I understand it. I actually get that one.
Speaker 1:No, I do get it. I mean Jim Carrey's always hilarious, but I feel like Jeff Daniels fucking. He had some big shoes to live not even live up to or feel, just to stand next to, and he fucking killed it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there was like the huge disparity of how much they got paid for the movie. I think one of them got like $19 million and the other one got like 35,000 or something what I mean, that's Hollywood baby they, they. You know, obviously Jim Carrey made it right and did all that stuff but I think I think Jeff Daniels just wanted the opportunity. There's like a. There's a whole backstory on that, but, um yeah, fantastic movie. I was honestly, at that point I wasn't really a Jim Carrey fan.
Speaker 1:Okay. So here Jeff Daniels agreed to be paid only $50,000 to co-star in dumb and dumber along Jim Carrey, who initially earned 7 million on the film. Yeah, Wow, but I mean it's yeah, but I mean it's like we were just saying he was the pole, you know yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Hey, danny, your lack of browser suggests to me that are you done with bikes? Have you listed all the famous bikes?
Speaker 2:I listed all the ones that I had for this episode racing okay kidding me right now you have bikes, grayson, yeah if you have a bike also okay.
Speaker 3:oh okay, bikes Grayson, yeah If you have bikes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have a bike Also, okay, oh, okay, coming at me. I have nine bikes and you have one. That makes ten.
Speaker 3:Here's your top ten. I have what I assumed was like the showcase.
Speaker 1:What's yours?
Speaker 3:A little indie arthouse film called Ghost Rider oh.
Speaker 2:That movie fucking sucked. The movie sucked. Oh, that movie fucking sucked. Oh, back to nicholas cage.
Speaker 1:What bike was he riding in that movie? It?
Speaker 3:was a pan. What bike was he riding in that movie?
Speaker 1:yeah, not gonna lie josh not gonna lie not gonna lie, I forgot that movie existed yeah, I did too.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna look it up I assume you motorcycle guys just sit around and watch Ghost Rider all day, so that's very complex.
Speaker 2:That's your guy right In your defense.
Speaker 1:Ghost Rider film bike.
Speaker 3:Is it a Suzuki GSX-R1000?
Speaker 1:No, it can't be.
Speaker 3:And a Suzuki GSX-1300R no, it can't be. And a Suzuki GSX-1300R.
Speaker 1:It's got to be some kind.
Speaker 2:The first one. Yeah, basically he rides this like super raked out.
Speaker 1:It's essentially a Captain America. It's a Captain America bike, but with flames on the tank.
Speaker 2:But what I'm also looking at is, I guess, other bikes used in the film.
Speaker 1:There's a gixxer 1000 and a gsx 1300 abusa what I'm, what I'm learning here is much like myself. Ghost rider nicholas cage he don't discriminate, he's gonna ride a bike all right, all the time you're gonna give him a bike he's gonna ghost ride.
Speaker 3:It is this a motorcycle and he's going to ghost ride it. Is this a different motorcycle?
Speaker 2:How many fucking movies were there.
Speaker 1:Listen listeners if you're not happy with this list, if you think I slash, we missed out some bikes, I can say in the comment section I don't know, make your whole podcast that doesn't success at anything and record your own episode, tell us about all the cool fucking motorcycles that we didn't see in some fucking whatever Bollywood classic?
Speaker 2:Tell me about all the Royal Enfields we didn't talk about.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Real quick. If you Google Ghost Rider, one of the top search results is is there going to be a third Ghost Rider? I don't think so someone's like come on, they're not gonna, they're not gonna finish out the the trilogy.
Speaker 1:They left number two on such a cliffhanger the third one's gonna start with him ghost riding a chopper out of his pyramid trip in New Orleans. It's going to open up, it's going to be like in the fours and open up and he's going to rip out of it.
Speaker 2:It's going to be Oakland like hyphy style, where they're just like ghost riding a motorcycle and dancing along next to it at like three miles an hour.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like Mac Dre or something playing in the background.
Speaker 1:E40.
Speaker 2:that's gonna be the next ghost rider movie. It's just ghost riding the whip hell, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ghost rider feels like a movie donald trump would like probably.
Speaker 2:It's just he's like probably horrific, fantastic, number one movie ever made. It's at the, the box office.
Speaker 3:I'll prove it. He looks at his assistants and he's like is this real? Can I get one of those? I love Nicolas.
Speaker 1:Cage Great bikes. You know he's riding American bikes in that movie.
Speaker 3:Real quick honorable mention, just to keep on brand. Any honorable mentions for skateboarding in movies that aren't skateboarding movies, brink.
Speaker 2:Gleaming the Cube Thrashing what is it?
Speaker 3:Oh, thrashing yeah.

I've only seen one of the two. I just knew Walter Mayer. I mean what Most Vertical Primate 2, the Monkey.
Speaker 3:Oh, that one's so good. Yeah, isn't like Bucky Lastic in that, or something.
Speaker 2:Probably Well, I think it's Ryan Sheckler as the Monkey. I think he was the stunt double.
Speaker 1:Really yeah, did Ryan Sheckler as the monkey? I think he was the stunt double. Really yeah, much like the Marfa episode, we can do this. Well, that's our episode on the bikes that we see are iconic and famous in TV and film.
