One of my favorites is 'The World's Fastest Indian', a film produced in New Zealand, starring Anthony Hopkins. It is the true story of Burt Munro who spent many years turning a 1920 Indian motorcycle into a speed demon. With it, he set a land-speed world record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. It is of note, that Burt was almost 70 years old at the time he set the record.
The movie was by far one of the best movies I have seen. A good story without a lot of violence and sex. Refreshing for a change. You don't have to be a motorcyclist to really enjoy this one. Anyone will love this movie.
IMHO, 'The World's Fastest Indian' is one of the best motorcycle-related movies of all time and it is available on DVD.

Southern Illinois
A group of riders in Harrisburg, IL have created 'Tag-Along Motorcycle Rides', which is a free service provided to small groups of motorcyclists wishing to visit beautiful Southern Illinois.
They can help you enjoy your ride by providing information on suggested scenic routes to travel, spectacular sites and areas to visit and the best places to eat. They do not conduct tours, however, if you wish and they are available, 1 or 2 would be happy to “TAG-ALONG” to function as a source of information and to make travel suggestions, if requested.
For more information, visit their website.
