It's only like.. my favorite movie.
I saw it in a THEATER! when I was 12. Then I rode my blue schwinn varsity everywhere until I got a silver Centurion in 1982 or so. Now I have a different bike so don't ask if you can have my Centurion.
As you might have guessed, my BF screenname is from the movie.

i picked up the dvd recently and i swear all the italian slurs are dubbed over with "eye-tal" instead. can anyone confirm?
and, dang, brakeless singlespeeds at the end? those fratties had the freshest exchanges.
and there was also a bizarro luke wilson (to go w/ a bizarro beck). and, man, young dennis quaid and the gang sunning themselves at the quarry. like the locker scene in top gun.

i sort of like quicksilver better, but yeah, this is a good flick. with quicksilver i want to fastforward through all the dialogue. it's like a bike porno movie or something.

when they go in for the exchanges, they're usually skidding on the cinders going into the hand off.

I thought this was a thread written by one of my ex-girlfriends. Three of them were "cutters," but it had nothing to do with bikes and everything to do with self-mutilation.
Man, I sure know how pick 'em.
