Some of my favorites (not sure whats available online...)
On Any Sunday (both the original, and the one produced by Red Bull, mostly because they profile Speedway at Costa Mesa)
The Faster series (back when Rossi was still the dominant MotoGP rider)
The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid (documentary on the season that Hayden won the MotoGP championship)
Dust to Glory (Baja 1000 coverage the year Mouse McCoy rode it solo)
And for a movie based on a true story, nothing comes close to The World's Fastest Indian

This thread got me looking for an adv motorcycle documentary to watch last night. I stumbled onto "a story worth living".

It is without a doubt the worst thing I've ever seen. The guys in the movie are so unlikable that I caught myself wishing they would just crash (not proud of that). The focus of the movie is some strange mix of spirituality and man love rather than motorcycles.

I just thought I'd give you a heads up to avoid paying for that one like I did.

This was playing in the theaters for a one night only showing a few years ago. My wife, being the awesome partner that she is, got a few of my riding buddies together to surprise me for my birthday by all meeting up to see this movie. Nobody knew what it was really about, so as we're sitting in the theater getting pumped about this adventure motorcycle movie it starts going sideways quickly.

We were laughing a lot, even though it isn't a comedy. A lot of people left the theater. The crowd was a mix of motorcycle riders and people who knew that the guy in charge of the movie is a spiritual leader. The second group of people didn't like the laughs and comments from our group.

Terrible movie, but it always makes me laugh thinking about it. My wife can never match that birthday gift, I will never forget it and neither will my friends!

My wife and I really enjoy watching episodes of Itchy Boots on youtube. This 32 year old woman from Netherlands last year went to India, bought a Royal Enfield Himalayan and rode it back to her home via some of the most picturesque remote back roads. Along the way, she met some very interesting people and rode some challenging routes. She has a very entertaining naration style and doesn't let any challenge bother her. The episodes are about 15 minutes and that trip consisted of over 100 episodes. The first few weren't of the same quality as far as sound mixing, but she quickly improved on that. This year she shipped her bike to Buenos Aires, rode down to Patagonia and is in the process of riding from there to Alaska. She posts new videos every other day and we look forward to watching her on our big screen tv. In any case, we highly recommend this series. her website is, of course, Itchyboots.com

My better half got the tickets and we went to see the movie on its one night showing in the theaters. A lot of adventure bikes were in the parking lot. Some weathered bikers were there too! Most were gone before the movie was half over. We stayed for the whole thing but we were both expecting something more along the lines of long way around. They did pick a beautiful place to film i believe it was in Colorado. I bet some of the sponsors were disappointed they backed that film though! Nothing wrong with a spiritual film but this was miss advertised terribly. Still we had a good time giggled all the way through the film. Quietly though! haha.

Been watching some of the Million Dollar Bogan stuff on YT recently. The NZ tour, the Melbourne to northern most tip of Oz and now the Tasmania tour. Next is the Alaska tour. All on a Harley. Don’t pre judge it being on a Harley. I quite like the blokes attitude to life and biking, although I can also see that some might find him annoying.

Funny and sarcastic, and unusually lacking in any sympathy for his HD. The Melbourne to Cape York trip is a good watch, but the 2nd attempt.

For those who like a bit of off road I found this a good watch.

Did watch quite a lot of her earlier stuff and quite enjoyed it, then she started to grate on me and I had to stop watching. Vida the same, I can’t watch him.

Got2Go is worth a look, she does great trips and has great footage. 2 Wheeled Rider and his life on a KTM SAS I quite enjoy as well, he does some big tours in the US.
