As young teenagers my buddy Richard and I fancied ourselves as motocross riders. We would ride our stingrays clear across town to watch that movie. Loved it. Richard went on to race motocross at the expert level and I tagged along to many races. Fuggers are crazy fast and on the edge all the time.
Richard crashed into an oak tree during a race and died at 17.
Dad took us to the drive in, me & my brother had to hide in the floor at the gate. S. Baptist mom did not like that.
When we got set up & about half time there was a paper grocery bag with homemade popcorn, a cooler with ice, two 16 oz. bottles of Pepsi & 4 aluminum tumblers, for the 4 of us.
Never saw the movie, looks ol-school cool. Step-Dad Jim Crawford was a motorhead anything fast- he liked it. He had Montesa, 3 Husqvarna's 250 & 360, 650 Triumph Bonneville in the mid-60's, 55 Chevy 283, 34 plymouth coupe w/ rumble seat 327 corvette engine, ++. He built a V-8 intake manifold for the 55 chevy- 8 / 1 barrel motorcycle carbs, adjustable synchronizer system -in High School. Anyway I got the motorhead bug from him I reckon.

Well dang it, I've missed to point again. Title about dad, the rest about the film. Heck yes I've seen it. Lived it. First MC, a 59 Harley, 2 stroke 165 at age 12. After that, Hondas for a long run.
I miss carbs, air cooled, kick starters, & all the simplicity & light weight they offered. I was born just a bit too late & usually broke, but still got to experience most of it.
Its nice to watch young kids ride bicycles without wearing frigin helmets.
When I was a kid, if you were wearing a helmet and riding your bicycle, it meant that you were definitely a complete momma’s boy pansie. And it was perfectly acceptable to demand, and get by physical force if necessary, their school lunch money.

Sounds like my tight ass old man. The only movies he ever took us to was the DriveIn.
I remember once he tried to do one of those tinfoil pans of jiffy pop on the engine manifold in the wintertime. Didn’t turn out to well.
First movie I vividly recall seeing at the DriveIn was in 1965 or 1966. I was either 5 or 6 and it was Don Knott’s “ The Ghost & Mr Chicken”.
I remember it because the organ playing it’s self and that creepy music gave me the first nightmares I can remember. 😳🤪😂 Good Times! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
