    Like riding a push bike with an engine...? :p

    The only thing I'd add is that "while riding you are connected to the elements of nature rather than riding in a box cut off from them"

    I'd also ad "F-king awesome"

    That's the same actor who played The Toe Cutter in Mad Max! Hugh Keays-Byrne

    It's the ultimate in intimacy with a machine.

    I had an uncle who flew helicopters in the army. He said piloting a motorcycle was the closest thing to flying that he could do on the hard.

    Yep. And that is why a lot of aviators also ride motorcycles. (Like me!)

    Good scene from Stone have it on VHS and DVD average acting in parts but some great motorcycle footage which pre dated Mad Max. Youtube is a great time waster, found hi res footage of the street race around Northern Sydney suburbs with the Harbour bridge popping up in the background. :cool:
