I asked the AI which Hollywood actors from a bygone era should play the characters Jack and Jock, and it came back with Jock played by James Dean and Jack played by Robert Redford. That'd be worth watching lol.

Technical What's that new droning noise?
Nah. I would have given anything when I was young to have been Steve McQueen. Dennis Hopper would have been fine too. Barry Newman in Vanishing point maybe? James Dean was a bit too "Moody" for a simpleton like me!
It became time to watch The Great Escape motorcycle escape scene. Epic! I can remember watching it for the first time and so wanting him to make it!
I never did understand the James Dean fame.
Of course there was always Bullit and the famous car chase
never did understand why he was double declutching on upward changes though?
But my favourite is in "The sand Pebbles" where he "meets" the ship's engine for the first time.
I can really understand that.
Just watched the Bullit clip again, My could he do with anti tramp bars on the rear axle and a limited slip diff!
The sound effects on the Bullit car chase are amazing, they're dubbed on of course but who cares when they're that good! lol
Yep lol. They must have had super springs not to disintegrate the suspension!
Do you happen to know what brand the cars are?
McQueen's was a 289 Mustang and the "baddies" were driving the "legendary" Dodge Charger which is powered by the even more legendary Dodge "Hemi" engine.
one of my all time favourite cars to drool over is the early Chevy Impala. Just look and listen to this one:
Sorry, inaccurate info on the Mustang's engine. Most did indeed have the 289cubic inch V8 but apparently the car in the film had a modified 390Ci (6+ litres) specially built for the film.

Hopefully unlike both films, a happy ending.
Loved the bikes in Easy Rider and the music.
I think AI could write an autobigraphical film called "Mike and his Motorbike". It could be a big hit at the cinemas lol
As a child I read a book from the library "Mick and his P105" and loved it. Set in a French village the boy and his friend discover an old competition motorbike, get it going and race it to the dismay of his wealthy parents.
No I did not have wealthy parents, loving ones were good enough for me and my sisters.Personally from around 14 I have had many motorbikes and scooters, but no longer ride due to age and the "ars*h*les in cars who pull out of side roads without looking.
My brother used to be into racing bikes, as a teenager I sat on the back a couple of times as he raced along the motorway at 130mph. Nothing happened other than me being momentarily scared. But I've not been back on one since!
Much safer being in control yourself.
He wasn't trying to scare me as such, more like showing off, i wasn't expecting it to be like going to Alton Towers or the Isle of Man TT
I've always enjoyed riding motor cycles but hated, with a vengeance, riding pillion. If I'm going to die or be maimed, I want it to be all my own fault!Much safer being in control yourself.
Not yet, I ordered a pair of wireless mics in order to better locate the origin of the noise (that's still cheaper than driving 120 km and rent a lift)
What an interesting way to approach this. I'd never have thought to do this. Do take some pictures so we can all understand better how you're doing it.
