I am going. Anyone else going. Anyone going from San Bernardino County want to meet at my house and leave from here, (Chino Hills). Here is the information from the email I received.

Pardon nut... ain't it Long Way Round that you might of seen @ Fairlainers?

 
Well, i'll be daggoned... haven't heard of the down movie as of yet.

 
Great movie. I saw Fairlaner's copy several months ago, then we got our own copy. The hardback book came out this week too.

I recommend the movie to anyone with an interest in motorcycles. It's well worth seeing.

This months AMA Magazine has a featured article on these two and their motorcycle travels.

The article is rather short, though.

We get to see it on the same day except 3 hrs earlier at

Cinemark Valleyview

Canal Road Valleyview, Ohio

same deal...$10.00

 
All I'll say is that someone shoulda stayed home. Otherwise, a pretty good watch.
Is this new movie with the same two brokeback riders that were in the first one??
If so, I'll be stayin' home. That first one was more drama, cryin' and whinin' than a 8 year old girls slumber party.

the meltdown when KTM wouldn't give them free bikes.

the falling over 10feet into the ride on pavement

the pretending there wasn't a support vehicle around for pretty much the whole thing. (I like how they miraculously go from TCK80's to Anakees in one scene without ever stopping. The certainly weren't packin' that new rubber with them. (and in this instance when I say rubber I'm referring to tires) No crime in a support vehicle, but they sure wanted us to believe it was just them out there.

OH, and that family reunion ....jeezers as if our own aren't bad enough they drag us into theirs.

Please tell me this new one is not as ghey. :huh:

 
thanks for the heads-up. i just RSVP'd.

the cause means a lot to me right now. i lost my brother to a brain tumor on the 27th of june.

 
You can watch it for free (well, if you have cable/satellite) on Fox Reality Channel. Starts this Thursday, 2000hrs PDT.
