Why We Ride
By David Peterson
I went to see the movie "Why We Ride" last nightin Larkspur and
it appeared to be an all biker
audience! Anyone living here would enjoy seeingall the locations
we ride in Southern California
and a few familiar faces too.
I recognizedMert Lawwillof Tiburon because I
met him with my dad at the Oregon AntiqueClub's annual chapter
awards dinner and ride. I
thought there could have been many more racers
and bike guys included in the movie from ahistorical viewpoint.
This was especially apparent
for the Indian and Harley riders which werediscussed for quite
some time.
I found the lack of name calling highly unusual.Like Perkins and
Jones when they coveredEdKretzthe Iron Man. I saw number 33 Bill
Brownell
in the old footage several times! For instance, a
funny man in the film talked about Brando's film"The Wild Ones"
but didn't mention the Booze
Fighters or go off on it.
The film started really grabbing your attention asit slowly
pulled you into a trance around a selectfew, but lacked enough
action, riding, individual
biographies, and bike events. They didn't even
show Kenny Roberts on his one mile dirt biketh h th f t d hi l
ti
I felt like there was too much

movie lacked enough entertatoo narrow for the amount ofeasily
could have been in the
more focus on history would together leaving the viewer toit was
a really great movie!
There were lots of fun storieshow great riding is and some
cinematography was excellen

I would recommend this film bikes since we don't have ma
motorcycles. "On Any Sunday
