Thoughts about motorcycles, tools that work (or don't), travel, and occasionally politics. Places I've gone, routes that were special, and food I've found along the way. And, thankfully, not too much of any of it.

Worst motorcycle movie?
Thanks to Netflix I just watched Girl on a Motorcycle. This is supposed to be a cult classic but I'm not sure why. The movie is just plain bad. Marianne Faithfull could take acting lessons from a bucket balanced on a broom handle. Her main talent seems to be staring at the camera with a stupid grin on her face while sitting on a motorcycle in front of a movie screen with the countryside moving by. I can only hope that she was stoned out of her mind as there is no other excuse I can think of. As a peek into the past it might have a certain interest for the archeologically minded but of cinematic values it is completely devoid.
Even Plan 9 from Outer Space is more interesting. No motorcycles but at least you know you're going in for the campy laughs and goofy fun. Buick hubcaps for flying saucers!?
