Best biking sequence?
Well, I know its a bit before most peoples time, but a scene that captures the essence of motorcycling: the freedom, the thrill and the danger, is the first 5 minutes of Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O'Toole.
I've never been near a bike that old (Brough Superior, no?), but the sound, the way the camera follows the road or pans as the bike goes past really makes me want to get on and ride.
Love it!!
Close second is the bit in MAd MAx when The Goose is riding home on some Z1000 before the dastardly biker gang ambushes him...
PS on a tangent: does anyone else become insanely irritated by the fact that in so many hollywood movies, they use the sound of some ropey GXS550 4 cyliner, or worse still a Harley sound, as the sound track to some Ducati, or Motoguzzi pulling away. No one ever heard of continuity??
