The magic of Bonneville Salt Flats and land speed racing there is mentioned often around these parts. During my 2012 trip to the BUB speed trials and Bonneville, I had the good fortune to meet a very talented photographer and videographer, Chad DeRosa. He and I both had the same mission- capture the magic of the salt flats and Sodium Distortion race team. Our end vision however was very different- he was filming for “Out of Nothing,” an epic tale of four men forging land speed records.

Ladies (and gay men) rejoice! Ryan Gosling is coming out with a new movie March 29th called The Place Beyond the Pines. Apparently he does all his own stunts, which include riding the piss out of a motorcycle. From the trailer, it’s looking like this film could turn out to be pretty impressive (and I’m very unimpressed by movies these days).
Regardless of Gosling- this is a crime drama with a bunch of motorcycles and a seemingly good storyline. I’m stoked.
From the (terrible, maybe awesome) movie Torque.
Megan Fox takes Shia Labeouf for a ride on an Aprilia motorcycle in Transformers. Too bad Megan can’t ride.
I do love that women on motorcycles is becoming more popular in movies and mainstream media, though. Yee-haw!
RIP Andy Griffith, who died today at age 86. Sheriff of a picture perfect town to rotten no good biker in “A Hippie with Money”. What a cool guy and versatile actor.
I used to watch the Andy Griffith show with my dad all the time. I’ve never been able to resist whistling the tune when the show is mentioned…
Shane, leader of the Mini Skirt Mob. A cool headed, hot blooded blonde, who can’t bear to lose anything… especially a man she thought she owned.
This movie has got to be hilarious.
The Mini Skirt Mob: They like it rough.
This movie popped up in my suggestions on netflix- “The Mini Skirt Mob” 1968
They play around with murder like they play around with men. They’re hog straddling female animals on the prowl!
Movie poster for Born Losers (1967) “Kitten on wheels with her bike her boots and bikini! Out fit kicks, in for trouble…”
Still from the upcoming action movie Haywire with Gina Carano. Gina does many of her own stunts in this movie, including riding the Ducati Monster 696.
A crowd comes to the rescue of a motorcyclist trapped under a 4000lb burning car. This is the kind of thing our world needs. (Not the coppers standing around pointing at things, but actual citizens helping citizens.)
The motorcyclist underwent surgery on Monday and is currently stable. Given that he was lacking any and all safety gear, it’s an understatement to say this rider is lucky to be alive.
