Friends of mine worked on the 2nd Unit crew that did the bike sequences - said the stunt guys were bitching about both bikes being amazingly top heavy. They did well considering the weight of those beasts! Loved the airborne, one handed machine pistol thing... Rich Anton Perdices wrote:

As far as your last paragraph, you must consider that some of us motorcycle buffs have been thoroughly alienated by consumer society and don't watch movies much, if ever...... also, since I do enjoy good entertainment, I suppose I prefer to create my own (riding a motor helps for this) instead of paying a few bucks for entertainment created by some investor-owned Holloywood movie production corporation. Just a thought to consider. Want to see a great biker movie? Try "Masters of Menace". You'll find it at video stores with large old inventories. >> "Time Rider" is the best bike flick I can recall seeing. Haven't seen it in ages but it stuck with me as being a good one. Will keep eye open for "Masters". Scott A14 "Thunderdog" Sorrento

Shrewd investors? ;^) I thought it was the way to go myself... might as well have a controlling interest in the company... makes things like self-preservation and blackmail a little easier down the road.

Many pockets and a face of the three people he 'knew' who would be there... Pharmicutical man... Bad guy... and henchman # 1.

plausible. They also marked him at the race track.

To make the old switcharoo possible?

Actually, there wasn't that 'much' of a plot to miss. In between the action scenes, the show was kinda flat. I was still entertained though... but I thought the first movie was better. Arne
