    that includes some stunning scenery, crazy events along the way, and a brief stop in Sturgis South Dakota. American Dresser. If you're a Tom Berenger fan you'll be in for a real treat!

    I ride with the CVMA Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. I was familiar with both Danny Lyon and Micheal Lichter's photos. A few months ago, while living in Louisville, I was on my Electra Glide cruising across a bridge to Indiana. The bridge looked familiar when my lady and I got to our destination I begin looking for the photo and discovered that not only was that the bridge in the photo but, a movie called 'The Bikeriders" was soon to be in theaters. It was a cool experience. Other than YT I stay disconnected from things. That bridge shot was while a Chicago club was setting up a Chapter in Louisville, it wasn't the Vandal's but, still a really neat experience for both of us. My lady and I saw the movie the night of the release and enjoyed it. Keep on rocking Shipmate!

    Movie mistake #1; When the person hopped on the back of the motorcycle, I was wondering the same thing. At first glance of the bike, it looked totally like a solo seat. When they got off, there was barley any room for a passenger. When the guy took off on the bike, he took up the whole seat. 🤔🤷🏾‍♂

    Cue thanks for the review. A question came to me whilst watching - " Are you a motorcyclist or a biker? If so is there a difference and what is it?" Just throwing that out there. Also, I'm curious about the "wrenching" in buying a Tesla🤣 I'm looking forward to the impression you get from the rental.

    • @RidingandWrenching
      @RidingandWrenching  Місяць тому

      There is always wrenching to do! All machines break! However there are a lot fewer moving parts. I'm most interested in learning how we have to think differently to drive electric vehicles. As an example, the biggest mistake I made on the first half of my trip was "overcharging" the battery. We can't thing of it a charging stop like a gas stop. At a gas stop, you fill it up. At a charging stop, you ensure you have enough energy to make it to the next charging stop. It saves time doing it the right way!
      There are some who say there is a difference between being a "biker" vs a "motorcyclist". Personally I think there are varying degrees of a biker. There are some that are much more hardcore than others: maybe their only transportation is a motorcycle or some other extreme scenario. I don't have the long history that many do, so I don't have the same attachment to the terminology. I ride a lot (abt 25,000 miles a year) which is more than most but not anywhere near as many as some (Ksolo and others). To me, a biker is anyone with a passion for motorcycles. I won't judge someone who rides fewer miles than I do (I don't want to be judged either!) besides "motorcyclist" has 5 syllables! That's too much! Biker rolls off the tongue easier!😂

    I liked the movie. I was very interested in the bikes and the story. I ride with a modular helmet and recently an airbag vest. Protective gear will save you from dying on someone windshield. I have no desire top be a bug splat on some ones car . The vivid depiction was enough to convince me to wear the modular helmet and other gear all the time. Kind of a bummer though because feeling the wind in my hair and on my arms is exhilarating. It is less so with all this gear on but I want to keep riding so I will wear it.

There were 3 of us for that trip and twice we were in the middle of the desert hotter than hell and people came up beside us once in a van and once in a truck and handed all 3 of us cold beers while we were moving.

    Just like Sons of Anarchy. A bad representation of bike clubs.....bad stuff happens in clubs but not the way most movies tell it.

      It's definitely violent! If you don't like violence, this movie isn't for you. It's a nostalgic look at how some people view the founding of motorcycle clubs. All bikers aren't like the ones depicted in this movie. I'd venture to say the overwhelming majority are regular people who enjoy motorcycles.
