We like motorcycle movies but we rarely, if ever, get to see them on the big screen. We don’t have the A/V setups of modern multiplexes but we’ve got some gear to make it a bit more fun to watch moto movies. Plus it’s just better to watch motorcycle movies with other riders.

So we’re gonna setup a big screen, pop some popcorn and invite all of you to join us for an evening viewing of: THE UNRIDEABLES. If you’ve never seen this film but are a fan of road racing, you’re in for a treat. As summarized on the world wide web.

The 1980s were a high point of factory involvement in Grand Prix motorcycle racing. Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha battled for technological dominance in the high-powered world of 500cc two-stroke racers – and to ride these beasts they employed the very best riders in the world. The likes of Rainey, Schwantz, Lawson and Mamola struggled to tame the raw power and brutal handling of bikes built without constraints and without any of the modern rider aids which make today’s MotoGP four-stroke machines seem bland in comparison. The riders might have been paid handsomely for their efforts but, as this film shows, they paid a heavy price for their fame and stardom. With loads of great action shots from the archives and revealing, frank interviews with many of the top riders this incredible documentary looks at the men who had to ride the unrideables.

We’ll have the shop open late and the movie will start at 7:00pm. Then we’ll kick everyone out around 9pm. Should be a fun evening!
