There is a movie on Amazon Prime called "Wayne". The main character rides with a DS7 (RD250).

"On Any Sunday". Probably one of my favorite motorcycle films. If you haven't seen it, then you should!!

Tons of 2 strokes in the film. You can easily spot a businessman riding a R5 early in the film.

One afternoon Beach Party 1963 (Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon) came on TV and I watched it. There is a race scene with a fleet of 1963 Yamaha twins that goes on for 10 minutes. The stuntmen do a great job. I can't find anywhere where you can watch it for free. I see Youtube will rent it to watch. Also Bikini Beach has crazy early '60s drag racing and one of those twin engine MC101 go carts going nuts in a parking lot. That one is free on Youtube.

There was a cool Japanese show called Kikaider with a solid custom sidecar H1 or H2.

The other character rode an H2 as well.

Kikaida is rad. I have the first few seasons on DVD. Lotsa fun at parties.

I'm sure one of you guys was JUST about to mention this one, but this Bollywood movie Rama o Rama features the main character riding 3-4 different Rajdoot RD350s.

And teaches a very valuable riding technique in the first scene - if you brake hard and pretend there's an animal crossing the road you can get some extra love from the lady on the back! Just don't overdo it or she might catch on.

Just watched "Over The Edge (1979)" last night.

"Mark" rides a DT250 (maybe DT175)

'Little Fauss and Big Halsey'. 2-stroke dirt bikes and road racers. And a soundtrack by Johnny Cash. "Once it's cool, twice it"s queer."
