Saw the original “On Any Sunday” in 1972, rode a borrowed XT500 on Pike Peak in 1975 (same year I graduated HS and joined the Air Force). Still ride my 1996 DR650 in the woods. Life is good..
After about a week of breaking time I had my brand new at the time 1996 Dr 650 stop that on i-70 in about 116 mi an hour.. and just after 38:59 I bought my first set of street legal dot knobbies I heard my collarbone breaking before I know that i hit the payment at 40 mph touching the front brake and back brake has my neighbor gave me another surprise attack on their solid hedge row driveway pulling directly out in front of me. On a rainy day... Have you ever want to put knobs on that 650 buy a set of German Metzlern soft compound nobbies and they will hook up on web payment I snow on payment water mud was always a great big window unforgiveness instead of yet jap slapping you faster than Valentino Rossi v the street legal dot nobbies are a joke. Directly meant to kill someone. The IRC tires that came on my xr500r for probably the best thing you can buy for asphalt wet pavement knobbies.
Hope you can understand what I was trying to say but RUclips a I like to tell my stories for me the way they think they should be written... It does no good to go back and correct because they keep changing the words as fast as I correct them forcing me to play this game all day if they push me to oh excuse me motherfukers I supposed to say poop right instead of force n you wouldn't happen to have a Barrett m100 sniper rifle was incendiary rounds would you. I found the address of RUclips
I was a kid in the 70s I lived in the country, we all had dirt bikes and I remember how big of a movie it was, it was cult movie sort of thing especially when VHS came out and you could find a copy of it here and there and rewatch i.
I'm 83 in a wheelchair, not from a motorcycle crash but a stroke, 3 of them, but, I build vintage road racing motorcycles here in Hawaii where i won the 250 cc road race class in 78, 79. ridong a TZ250 Yamaha racer built by me.
I grew up in Hawaii to. I road dirt bikes on the north shore and pineapple fields. Rode with Michael Maguire haji Alexander Paul DeSoto who's Uncle was John de Soto world champion those were the days the early seventies man I miss them I'm in a chair too lucky no stroke just a bad hip. Aloha cwk
Brilliant ! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much ! RIDE & BE FREE ! Huge lifetime fan of - " On Any Sunday " ! 71 year old rider from Boise, Idaho, USA, Earth . My rides > Yamaha Super Tenere ES & Suzuki GSX-S1000F . My wife > Can-Am Spyder F3-S . Last Summer we rode the Spyder, 2-up, for 4,056 miles to Minnesota & Canada and back to Boise . Bucket list wanderlust ! 😊😊😊
Took my 80 plus grandfather to see the first On any Sun. Movie He loved it ! Got to ride his 1917 Indian that he went on his honeymoon in the early years. Got my first two wheeled motor bike at 11 Yrs. Old MCs were in my blood. Got my father and uncle back competing in enduros all over Northern Calif. in the 60s and 70s Great times! Miss those guys and miss those dirt rides. I'm 74 still on two wheels. Enjoyed your movie!
Still riding at 68 and just loved watching this. I still remember the original film and enjoyed this one just as much. Riding has always been a part of my life through good times and bad and most of us can relate to how when riding all your problems just melt away!
Way cool 👍. Still remember going to our local matinee theater and watching the original On Any Sunday when it premiered. I’m 62-1/2 now & enjoy riding my motorcycles whenever I can . No better way to shake off whatever is troubling in your life & just Live again like you did as a kid. I may have gotten older , but I still refuse to grow up . Keep ‘em rubber side down , & enjoy life while you can……🤞👍
Great comment , I’m 73 , have had bikes pretty much all my life as there’s very few,things can equal that thrill of the surge of speed or twists through bends on two wheels. Having been through three replacement joints in two years I got back on my old DR800 a while back and fell in love with biking again , best wishes to you 🏍️
As soon as that song started playing...I was 15 again and riding my friends Maico. We went to see On Any Sunday and have been riding ever since. Cheers !
I was in the first on any sunday movie at saddle back in the day , this movie is great , but nothing like the first , miss all the tracks of so cal back in the day , still have a large collection of early dirt bikes mini bikes just trying to keep the old bikes alive , i still eat sleep bikes of all kind , i hope this movie and the first will inspire the up and coming riders to keep the sport not just to watch , but to ride , keep your feet on the pegs
Great video. I am 65 and just bought Triumph ST 1050 and ride with friends on Sundays. I am no speed freak and when people ask me am I having a mid life crisis! What crisis? It’s just something many people like doing no matter the age
I met Steve and Malcolm in the desert of Palm Springs back 1965. They were so fast in those days. Our bikes were a lot harder to ride in those days. Man we had a ball, miss him talking. About the ride. We had lots of fun.
Wow. That's a GREAT movie!! The tie-ins to the original are fantastic. My Dad took me to see the original On Any Sunday three or four times, and over the years I've seen it so many times I can just about repeat the dialog. I'm just shy of sixty-five years old now, and, after staring my own company 13 years ago, got rid of the bikes because I never had time to ride them. But I'll always have the memories of street riding, dirt riding and competing off-road. It is a community. A big family. I miss it. Motorcycles made my life. They were my life for a long, long time. I've owned God only knows how many. Lots and lots. On the wall in my office is a picture of my Father, and one of my Mother as well, taken atop The White Cliffs of Dover as they took turns straddling my Dad's '29 Norton. In 2009 I took a cross country road ride on a Yamaha Royal Star. 5203 miles in 9 days of riding. I wrote a book about it. Anyone wanna read it?
That's Steve McQueen ,the King of Cool! Saw it in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Trans Am 1973? National race. Meet his nefew same town....bought 15 yrs ago .
Loved this film I am 69 and remember watching the original one, loved motor cycles and snow mobiles my whole life but the last few years have been crippled with a neurological condition but I still remember!
I saw the original movie in the theater and Husqvarna had bikes on display in the lobby. Every redblooded kid in town saw the movie. Then we did wheelies on our Stingrays.
I saw the original when it first came out, loved it, and consider this a worthy follow on. At 81 it makes me want to ride dual sport bikes again. Great movie.
I'm an old fart too and I went to a Honda, Kawasaki shop the other day. The 2024 KLX300, the pure off road one, looks like a pretty nice bike to throw an old leg over. It was really nice. They also had a NOS 2023 CRF450R for $8k that would make your eyes water to look at. Take the time to stop at a shop. It's worth it.
In 1971, I went to see On Any Sunday with two of my high school buds. The beautiful theme song left me with some watery eyes. I wanted to know who the vocalist was, but had no way to find out. Fiftyone years later, while reading the December 2022 issue of 'American Motorcyclist' magazine, I learned that the lyrics were written and sung by Sally Stevens. As a professional, yet not famous session vocalist, her name does not appear in the movie credits. During her career she has done back up vocals for Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Sonny & Cher, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole, Neil Diamond, Wayne Newton & others. She also sang on many TV shows including; The Simpsons, The Smothers Bros, Carol Burnett show, Love Boat, Happy Days - and movies; Jaws, Indiana Jones, Planet of the Apes, so all of us reading this have most likely, unknowingly heard her voice in other venues. It is quite interesting that she had never ridden a motorcycle alone, only as a passenger. When this project came up, she asked her brother, who owned a bike, to again take her riding so she could "feel the experience, understand the details, and have the thoughts" to put the words on paper. At the time I wrote this, 12/2022, she is still alive & well, living in LA, aged 83.
Before we start this video i like to dedicate this video to STEVE MCQUEEN....thanks carry on....i went out an did my first road race on an 86 FZ 750 motorcycle build by the finest piano company..an i got third in my first race an i one this video the first one an it was awsum...an it was an awsum gift from yamaha plus 50 dollars in RR .YZ bucks...but i had never seen on any sunday...an it was really a nice surprise...so special thanks to yamaha steve ,bruce an all who helped make it...dr cyclepath....
I saw the original around 1973 while in the Army. I have been riding since 1967 and am currently 68 yrs old and still riding only now it's not Kaw500's, Ninjas or drag racers, I know ride on my 3rd Goldwing having toured 43 states. Gets in your blood and never leaves. Thanks guys for this film.
Great movie, thanks for posting.. I’m 64 now and don’t ride anymore due to injuries. I rode and raced MX in So Cal back in the day. I continued to ride until I was 55 and then bought a Polaris Razor. With age comes the cage. I still follow all the races and have nothing but fond memories 🤠
Remember watching the first film and loving it back in 1972 spent many years riding and racing mainly Suzuki's and Kawasaki's always 2 strokes 🏍️ as they were the thing in the 1970s England broke my back and hip 🩼in a road crash and had to convert to 2 stroke scooters Lambrettas and Vespas been a member of three clubs and still ride at 68 in the Northern Templars sc still living for the weekend 🛵🛵🛵🛵🇬🇧
My friends and I raced a GNC National at Ponca City , Oklahoma and then watched the On Any Sunday 2 premiere at their local theatre . Those years of racing is what I hold near and dear to my heart . I have the photos and one of our guys has passed away ...but I will always remember those days . Ron , Jean and Pete and me ( Dave ) . PK
Thank you for bringing a great memorie back into my life.bruce brown was a great influence in my life.i raced 17 years in the desert.never give up,😊look at what you brought to all of us, beautiful memories 😅😅
I learned how to ride in the dirt on a street bike. I always wanted to ride the roads of the U.S. and see our country from top of a motorcycle. I have rode over 300,000 miles in 20 years and saw quite a bit, camping out in a tent along the way. I have lived the life I dreamed of when I was young, but every one of the riders in this film is 1000 times better rider than I am, including the young ones. I've rode a lot of miles, but I'm not near that good, not even in the same world.
I’m 36. As a kid I’d watch on any Sunday almost daily.. then go out and thrash my sl70 then 100 then xl/sl250. I’m sure that flick was the direct cause of the mangled death of countless small cc dirtbikes. 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
didn't think that I would like it but I did , real good . Watched the original when it first came out , it was a game changer , most younger riders don't know how much they owe to Bruce Brown and the originals .
I’m proud to say I’ve been riding motorcycles since the age of 12, I’m now 67, that’s 55 years of two wheel fun. The huge majority of it off-road, from a solo one lane track ripping thru the woods to the motocross track with 30 competitors. My biggest rival and compadre was my own brother. We pushed each other to the absolute limit, smiling the whole way. To give context to how long I’ve been involved in motocross I’ve seen Roger Decoster, Brad Lackey, Joel Roberts, Malcolm Smith and many more come and go. Now days I’m riding a Sportbike capable of insane speeds. For a brief few years me and my son would ride together, till he contracted cancer at 27. He had to sell his bike to keep the bills at bay. I kept mine but man do I miss those times we spent together as father and son. Two bits of good news is he beat cancer and I will always be faster. I keep telling myself I want to get another dirt bike and relive the good times out in the woods again tearing it up. But as said in the video, it just keeps getting harder and hard to find a place to ride. 😎
Grew up in Riverside county where much of the first movie was filmed. Got my first Honda 55 (step-through) with straight pipe and no seat cushion in about '70, graduated up to a Hodaka 90 next year. Watched the first "On Any Sunday" when it came out. We were mesmerized and enchanted. "Hey!! I've been there!!" Yeah howdie!" When you see on film and story, places you've been and things you've done or wish you could, it brings it all home. Hadn't yet met Malcom Smith (one of the principles in that first iconic movie) who still lives in Riverside and runs a massive bike dealership. My brother is friends with him. We never competed in organized races. We were so poor we couldn't even pay attention. But the force was strong with us. After several moves and make-up bikes, then many years without a bike, I retired from my job in Bakersfield and bought a used DRZ 400 in 2020 to ride up in the hills near the Rubicon. Very near "Hangtown", which is the local nickname for Placerville, where I now reside. In this edition of "On Any Sunday", the narrator mentions the "Hangtown" event, which actually takes place at the "Prairie City" offroad facility, just a stone's throw from Sacramento Mather Air field on the south side of hwy. 50. It's open year-round and you can bring most anything with wheels there and have fun. Paved Go-Kart track (bring, or rent), miles of rolling hill trails, speedway track, test area, Motocross track...what an amazing place. I worry that with all the housing expansion surrounding it, how long Praire City will avoid being squeezed out, to become just another historic memory and statistic.
Just turned 80 and still ride my Triumph Street tracker on the days I can start it. This movie brought back a bunch of memories when we raced scrambles and flat track with no brakes.
Started riding at age 13 on a Honda 55 trail raced Motocross and cross-country in Montana in 1971 1972 and 1973 on Suzuki's even had a tm400 now I have a 1977 PE 250 Suzuki haven't ridden it much plan on riding it this summer more this was a great video thank you
I saw the 1st OAS in 1973/4 (memory not so good now) and it set me on the road/track to a lifetime of Bikes. Now at 63 and pretty much too bent and broken to ride anymore it was fun to watch this new OAS - my above knee prosthesis (CB750/lampost/yoof) leans against my IoM hoodie and I sit back with a brew and a puff to watch it - again . . .
My Landlord is A.J. Jorgensen AMA National Champion his boys carry on his legacy in the sport of motorcycle racing. I grew up riding dirt bikes to school because hated riding the bus. The Jorgensen family shop called Jorgy's was a Suzuki dealership later Kawasaki and later water craft and ATV based equipment. I have enjoyed many years of riding the numerous dirt bikes.
Thanks Very Much For Letting Us Have This! I Was 13 In '71 & The Original "Movie" Was So Impressionable On Me & Millions Of Others! Remember What Steve McQueen Said!! Thank You.
63 took my motorcycle from PA to Alaska last two summers one more visit next summer i should be satisfied .....unless i need to go back again the next summer.😆😆
Grew up in AZ. Epic riders included Carlos Serrano, roger brown. Gary Wells. Chuck lampe. Chappy Blose. Raced with McQueen, Weinert, Tripes, etc. great memories
I remember going to the OC Speedway races in the 70’. I was under the banner on turn 3 and 4 during the filming of On Any Sunday 2. Glade to see that the races are still continuing. 🍻😎👍🏼
Must have watched the "first part" - the original one - some 20 years ago - and its all the same again for the love for the sport we share - riding on 2/3 wheels. Thks for the upload.
I am really excited about this movie you all put together I will continue to watch it again and again I really love it and all the brother and sister love that was all about the movie thank you all from the bottom of my heart to the top of it all my hats off to you all again thank you and God bless you all from the bay area California Larry vanbrunt jr.
Thank you , I was at the NZ premier of the original and have seen the changes that have come about due in a large part to that movie . I have just finished watching this one , impressed .
first motorcycle i traded some tires for a basket case Honda 305 got it running but it kept dying never got to keep goin, got new Honda 450 CL in 1973 and owned several Hondas and Yamahas and one Kawasaki H1
72, still riding. I started almost 60 years ago. I still have street bikes, dirt bikes, and everything in between. Raced the Baja 1000 a few years ago. I’m going to ride until I can’t.
I remember exactly when the og version debuted at the fox theater in riverside . It was approximately 2 miles from the original k&n and right across the street from riverside motorcycle salvage where I had a job pushing brooms on the weekend . Keep in mind we were 12 - 13 at the time and had dirt bikes but when we asked our parents if we could ride them there they said sure but if you get in trouble we’re not coming to get you . Dejectedly 6 or 7 of us rode our bmx bikes there , when we got there were 3 bikes parked in the front 2 Husky’s and 1 Harley that we drooled on for an hour . Needless to say we didn’t make it home before the street lights came on .
I think this was a different "OAS" but well done.. especally the plug for "Riders for Health" ... We should all band together and help the\m in a most worthwhile cause.. I intend to find out more and see what we can do..
As a guy with a half million miles on my motorcycles, any filmmaker that takes a run at explaining why we do what we do is OK -- both Browns have made memorable and true stories with the Sunday films. This movie reads a little different to me, after Carlin Dunne's death on Pikes Peak. I spent every moment with him on screen appreciating what a special rider and competitor he was, and with a tear or two in my eye feeling the sense of loss at not having him around to inspire a new generation.
Good film, thanks! But are we all old codgers watching this? 78, and still riding, still on small machines (XT225, + ANF125 highly modified by myself). Sometimes feel vulnerable on the road, but keeping ‘em rolling! Les in UK 🇬🇧
I became a robbie fan the first jump i saw the ski jump...an the ride up the road made me a fan before he went off the ski jump..he was having so much fun up the road to it...oh yeah
62 ride a 94 gsxr 750. With 2001 1200 oil cooled Bandit motor in it. Made from the parts pile. No $ just time invested a kick in the ass whoot to ride still get at least 3 nice bike comments every time im on it. Its my Hillbilly Bandit 1200 A/F.
Holy crap; I understood what that woman wearing the blue shirt and the black over dress said. This video didn't say ASL would be included but it's nice that it didn't get cut. You deserve the Arlo Guthrie - Motorcycle Song award my dear =]
for some reason kids born in the 1950s - 1960s all wanted scramblers, dirt bikes they call them now, but you just had to have one, it was the No1 thing you needed to have, from middle school I had mopeds and stripped won 2T bikes for tracks, now kids want clothes, trainers, phones, computer games with dirt bikes but not the real thing, some do but not like it was 40 - 50 years back,
That was great, hadn't seen it, first one changed my life, still riding, racing. Gees haven't they stuffed MotoGP, no comparison to the stuff in this 😁🇦🇺
The Isle Of Man TT is the one great motorcycle event missing from this otherwise excellent follow up to the original On Any Sunday. I understand it's for the US audience, but the grass roots feel of Irish road racing and the sport's pinnacle of the TT would've fit in nicely.
Mine started doing that about 300 km in. The mechanic completely pulled the speedometer to take pics for warranty, and it hasn’t done it again after. One thing I did notice early on was moisture inside the speedo glass, I wonder if this is part of the issue. 🤔
On Any Sunday and Endless Summer are why I ride and surf. After I saw On Any Sunday, at age 8, I couldn't stop talking about motorcycles and riding. My parents didn't get it at all. I scrounged up a broken mini bike by age 9, got it running, and fixed it up (meaning I painted it flat black and took the muffler off. By age 10 I traded some stuff and the cash I had saved and bought a broken, no title, Yamaha DT 60. My parents were not happy. Again, I got it running, fixed it up, and got a title for it. It just went on from there. My Dad played team sports (which I was not interested in at all) and couldn't understand what I was doing with dirt bikes and surfboards. Eventually, they gave in and supported my interests even though they never really understood it. I'm pretty sure they thought all of it would fade away as I "matured" Anyone who rides or surfs knows the answer to that.
Saw the original “On Any Sunday” in 1972, rode a borrowed XT500 on Pike Peak in 1975 (same year I graduated HS and joined the Air Force). Still ride my 1996 DR650 in the woods. Life is good..
After about a week of breaking time I had my brand new at the time 1996 Dr 650 stop that on i-70 in about 116 mi an hour.. and just after 38:59 I bought my first set of street legal dot knobbies I heard my collarbone breaking before I know that i hit the payment at 40 mph touching the front brake and back brake has my neighbor gave me another surprise attack on their solid hedge row driveway pulling directly out in front of me. On a rainy day... Have you ever want to put knobs on that 650 buy a set of German Metzlern soft compound nobbies and they will hook up on web payment I snow on payment water mud was always a great big window unforgiveness instead of yet jap slapping you faster than Valentino Rossi v the street legal dot nobbies are a joke.

You’re officially a legend.👍
A 3 stroke man?! I'm sorry to hear that...2 and 4 strokes are so much better.
Nice.
I grew up in Hawaii to. I road dirt bikes on the north shore and pineapple fields. Rode with Michael Maguire haji Alexander Paul DeSoto who's Uncle was John de Soto world champion those were the days the early seventies man I miss them I'm in a chair too lucky no stroke just a bad hip. Aloha cwk

Dang, I didn't know Steinway made bikes. You live and learn !
@@louisavondart9178 look for the 3 crossed tuning forks emblem on the gas tank....guitars too!
I saw the original around 1973 while in the Army. I have been riding since 1967 and am currently 68 yrs old and still riding only now it's not Kaw500's, Ninjas or drag racers, I know ride on my 3rd Goldwing having toured 43 states. Gets in your blood and never leaves. Thanks guys for this film.
I watched the first one when it came out i think in 71!! I was 11!! I still pull it up and watch it twice a year!
Great movie, thanks for posting.. I’m 64 now and don’t ride anymore due to injuries. I rode and raced MX in So Cal back in the day. I continued to ride until I was 55 and then bought a Polaris Razor. With age comes the cage. I still follow all the races and have nothing but fond memories 🤠
Remember watching the first film and loving it back in 1972 spent many years riding and racing mainly Suzuki's and Kawasaki's always 2 strokes 🏍️ as they were the thing in the 1970s England broke my back and hip 🩼in a road crash and had to convert to 2 stroke scooters Lambrettas and Vespas been a member of three clubs and still ride at 68 in the Northern Templars sc still living for the weekend 🛵🛵🛵🛵🇬🇧
My friends and I raced a GNC National at Ponca City , Oklahoma and then watched the On Any Sunday 2 premiere at their local theatre . Those years of racing is what I hold near and dear to my heart . I have the photos and one of our guys has passed away ...but I will always remember those days . Ron , Jean and Pete and me ( Dave ) . PK
Thank you for bringing a great memorie back into my life.bruce brown was a great influence in my life.i raced 17 years in the desert.never give up,😊look at what you brought to all of us, beautiful memories 😅😅
I learned how to ride in the dirt on a street bike. I always wanted to ride the roads of the U.S. and see our country from top of a motorcycle. I have rode over 300,000 miles in 20 years and saw quite a bit, camping out in a tent along the way. I have lived the life I dreamed of when I was young, but every one of the riders in this film is 1000 times better rider than I am, including the young ones. I've rode a lot of miles, but I'm not near that good, not even in the same world.
I’m 36. As a kid I’d watch on any Sunday almost daily.. then go out and thrash my sl70 then 100 then xl/sl250. I’m sure that flick was the direct cause of the mangled death of countless small cc dirtbikes. 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
didn't think that I would like it but I did , real good .
Watched the original when it first came out , it was a game changer , most younger riders don't know how much they owe to Bruce Brown and the originals .
This was better than the first one. I know; we all love "On Any Sunday", but tbis is Ken Burns level.
Wow!
Also in memory of Carlin Dunne 1983 - 2019
Thanks for remembering him.
Carlin was a good man and great racer !
I’m proud to say I’ve been riding motorcycles since the age of 12, I’m now 67, that’s 55 years of two wheel fun. The huge majority of it off-road, from a solo one lane track ripping thru the woods to the motocross track with 30 competitors. My biggest rival and compadre was my own brother. We pushed each other to the absolute limit, smiling the whole way. To give context to how long I’ve been involved in motocross I’ve seen Roger Decoster, Brad Lackey, Joel Roberts, Malcolm Smith and many more come and go.
Now days I’m riding a Sportbike capable of insane speeds. For a brief few years me and my son would ride together, till he contracted cancer at 27. He had to sell his bike to keep the bills at bay. I kept mine but man do I miss those times we spent together as father and son. Two bits of good news is he beat cancer and I will always be faster.
I keep telling myself I want to get another dirt bike and relive the good times out in the woods again tearing it up. But as said in the video, it just keeps getting harder and hard to find a place to ride. 😎
Try one of the new electric dirtbikes. I saw some guys riding out where they shouldn't but the bikes are so quiet, no one was complaining about it.
Chris, thanks for sharing. I'm right there with ya!
@@carabela125 you & I think alike!
Remember
I have seen all the Guys you mentioned at Red Bud.. The USA Trans AMA races. I practiced on the Red Bud Track with my 1978 Yamaha YZ-100-E
Grew up in Riverside county where much of the first movie was filmed. Got my first Honda 55 (step-through) with straight pipe and no seat cushion in about '70, graduated up to a Hodaka 90 next year. Watched the first "On Any Sunday" when it came out. We were mesmerized and enchanted. "Hey!! I've been there!!" Yeah howdie!" When you see on film and story, places you've been and things you've done or wish you could, it brings it all home. Hadn't yet met Malcom Smith (one of the principles in that first iconic movie) who still lives in Riverside and runs a massive bike dealership. My brother is friends with him.
We never competed in organized races. We were so poor we couldn't even pay attention. But the force was strong with us. After several moves and make-up bikes, then many years without a bike, I retired from my job in Bakersfield and bought a used DRZ 400 in 2020 to ride up in the hills near the Rubicon. Very near "Hangtown", which is the local nickname for Placerville, where I now reside. In this edition of "On Any Sunday", the narrator mentions the "Hangtown" event, which actually takes place at the "Prairie City" offroad facility, just a stone's throw from Sacramento Mather Air field on the south side of hwy. 50. It's open year-round and you can bring most anything with wheels there and have fun. Paved Go-Kart track (bring, or rent), miles of rolling hill trails, speedway track, test area, Motocross track...what an amazing place. I worry that with all the housing expansion surrounding it, how long Praire City will avoid being squeezed out, to become just another historic memory and statistic.
Just turned 80 and still ride my Triumph Street tracker on the days I can start it. This movie brought back a bunch of memories when we raced scrambles and flat track with no brakes.
Started riding at age 13 on a Honda 55 trail raced Motocross and cross-country in Montana in 1971 1972 and 1973 on Suzuki's even had a tm400 now I have a 1977 PE 250 Suzuki haven't ridden it much plan on riding it this summer more this was a great video thank you
I saw the 1st OAS in 1973/4 (memory not so good now) and it set me on the road/track to a lifetime of Bikes. Now at 63 and pretty much too bent and broken to ride anymore it was fun to watch this new OAS - my above knee prosthesis (CB750/lampost/yoof) leans against my IoM hoodie and I sit back with a brew and a puff to watch it - again . . .
I love what James Stuart JR. said about “we”
I feel you James…..much love.
My Landlord is A.J. Jorgensen AMA National Champion his boys carry on his legacy in the sport of motorcycle racing. I grew up riding dirt bikes to school because hated riding the bus. The Jorgensen family shop called Jorgy's was a Suzuki dealership later Kawasaki and later water craft and ATV based equipment. I have enjoyed many years of riding the numerous dirt bikes.
Thanks Very Much For Letting Us Have This! I Was 13 In '71 & The Original "Movie" Was So Impressionable On Me & Millions Of Others! Remember What Steve McQueen Said!! Thank You.
63 took my motorcycle from PA to Alaska last two summers one more visit next summer i should be satisfied .....unless i need to go back again the next summer.😆😆
Grew up in AZ. Epic riders included Carlos Serrano, roger brown. Gary Wells. Chuck lampe. Chappy Blose. Raced with McQueen, Weinert, Tripes, etc. great memories
Beeline, MAYER, Beardsley TT, Canyon Raceways. Forgetting some I’m sure
Deer Valley cycle park
Barn races in Glendale!!! Who remembers?
Pomeroy, decoster, Robert, Hallman, Karsmakers, lackey in phoenix trans am. 1970?
Love watching these movies. My Stepdad got me hooked on riding a long time ago. We still ride together today.
I remember going to the OC Speedway races in the 70’. I was under the banner on turn 3 and 4 during the filming of On Any Sunday 2. Glade to see that the races are still continuing. 🍻😎👍🏼
Must have watched the "first part" - the original one - some 20 years ago - and its all the same again for the love for the sport we share - riding on 2/3 wheels. Thks for the upload.
Love that big smile on Doug Henry's face is priceless..
Brilliant documentary. . . Motorcycles one taste and your hooked . . . Steve Mc Queen would be very happy. . 👍👍🏍🏍
I got started riding at 8 years old @45 I’m still loving it!!
I am really excited about this movie you all put together I will continue to watch it again and again I really love it and all the brother and sister love that was all about the movie thank you all from the bottom of my heart to the top of it all my hats off to you all again thank you and God bless you all from the bay area California Larry vanbrunt jr.
I travelled from OZ 2 see the Springfield mile.
Never forget it.
👍
Seen the 1st in 72 2nd and glad to see this 1 I still ride at 62 my son raced and starting again at 30 its away of life .
Thank you , I was at the NZ premier of the original and have seen the changes that have come about due in a large part to that movie .
I have just finished watching this one , impressed .
work of art - thanks Bruce
Really enjoyed this movie ,as good as the original for the emotions it stirs up. 👍thanks for posting 🙏
first motorcycle i traded some tires for a basket case Honda 305 got it running but it kept dying never got to keep goin, got new Honda 450 CL in 1973 and owned several Hondas and Yamahas and one Kawasaki H1
I am 62 and have a 22 YZ125X!!! AND RIP IT!!
I'm 63 and have a YZ125C and rip it too..
@@allandrennan4916 I'm 59 and have a YZ125X and rip it on my homemade MX course...
72, still riding. I started almost 60 years ago. I still have street bikes, dirt bikes, and everything in between. Raced the Baja 1000 a few years ago. I’m going to ride until I can’t.
My Dad is still riding street bikes at 90 years old. You can ride until you can't stand on your own.
Perfect landing.Something I always wanted to do mant years ago.Never rode any MX 4 Stroke.
I remember exactly when the og version debuted at the fox theater in riverside .
It was approximately 2 miles from the original k&n and right across the street from riverside motorcycle salvage where I had a job pushing brooms on the weekend .
Keep in mind we were 12 - 13 at the time and had dirt bikes but when we asked our parents if we could ride them there they said sure but if you get in trouble we’re not coming to get you .
Dejectedly 6 or 7 of us rode our bmx bikes there , when we got there were 3 bikes parked in the front 2 Husky’s and 1 Harley that we drooled on for an hour .
Needless to say we didn’t make it home before the street lights came on .
I think this was a different "OAS" but well done.. especally the plug for "Riders for Health" ... We should all band together and help the\m in a most worthwhile cause.. I intend to find out more and see what we can do..
Where was the Isle of Man TT races. Should have been included
Agreed , fast , fast and deadly roads not tracks groomed etc. with cobble stone included wow! What a race it is!
takes me back to taking a left on the XR750 then kiss the trophy girl. Thanks DAD for the best memories!
As a guy with a half million miles on my motorcycles, any filmmaker that takes a run at explaining why we do what we do is OK -- both Browns have made memorable and true stories with the Sunday films. This movie reads a little different to me, after Carlin Dunne's death on Pikes Peak. I spent every moment with him on screen appreciating what a special rider and competitor he was, and with a tear or two in my eye feeling the sense of loss at not having him around to inspire a new generation.
😮faahk, thanks for the info, I didn't know Carlin Dunne had passed away. May he RIParadise to we all meet up in the sky💪🏻✝️🙏🏾
Good film, thanks! But are we all old codgers watching this? 78, and still riding, still on small machines (XT225, + ANF125 highly modified by myself). Sometimes feel vulnerable on the road, but keeping ‘em rolling! Les in UK 🇬🇧
This was a really good film! Glad I finally watched it.
Go and watch any Irish Road Racing video after this for some speed/risk perspective.
Still riding Bultaco’s at almost 70. Great video but missed the trials being shown
HOLY Doug Henrey Batman. That was awesome.
This is an excellent documentary, just like the original!
Being a old desert racer and loving trials, I was very disappointed that either we're included.
I became a robbie fan the first jump i saw the ski jump...an the ride up the road made me a fan before he went off the ski jump..he was having so much fun up the road to it...oh yeah
Loved this👍🏻 Wish it had some IOM TT👍🏻👍🏻
The opening scene from the original is etched in my mind for ever
saw original On Any Sunday at the Winchester Drive in, Campbell/Sam Jose when it came out
Man it is hard to believe some people don't ride. I can't imagine missing out on the joy of braaaap!
I have no arms or legs and really enjoyed watching this
50年前のon any sunday も観たけど今は、バイクの楽しみ方が多義にわたっているね。
62 ride a 94 gsxr 750. With 2001 1200 oil cooled Bandit motor in it. Made from the parts pile. No $ just time invested a kick in the ass whoot to ride still get at least 3 nice bike comments every time im on it. Its my Hillbilly Bandit 1200 A/F.
Love that Mickey is wearing Triumph shirt.
Excellent modern update of the original song in the ending credits, but why didn't Malcolm Smith make an appearance??
Doug Henry is an absolute legend and a total badass
i just bought a super sized mini bike. im 68 been riding since i was 12, rupp mini bike was my first.
75, still riding and raised two sons on the California desert - no better father and son fun.
Holy crap; I understood what that woman wearing the blue shirt and the black over dress said. This video didn't say ASL would be included but it's nice that it didn't get cut. You deserve the Arlo Guthrie - Motorcycle Song award my dear =]
Hangtown is not a town, Hangtown is Placerville a California town by Diamond Springs and El Dorado.
for some reason kids born in the 1950s - 1960s all wanted scramblers, dirt bikes they call them now, but you just had to have one, it was the No1 thing you needed to have, from middle school I had mopeds and stripped won 2T bikes for tracks, now kids want clothes, trainers, phones, computer games with dirt bikes but not the real thing, some do but not like it was 40 - 50 years back,
very cool film loved it awesome
That was great, hadn't seen it, first one changed my life, still riding, racing. Gees haven't they stuffed MotoGP, no comparison to the stuff in this 😁🇦🇺
Had to quit due to vision loss at 57.
Sure miss my bikes.
Very well done ..
thanks for the upload, great documentary 🤙
These guys and gals carve both air and DIRT.
I cannot believe that hill climbing wasn't brought into this production. 😮
I cant wait to think what the stunt double think of this jump...the statement of the movie
The Isle Of Man TT is the one great motorcycle event missing from this otherwise excellent follow up to the original On Any Sunday. I understand it's for the US audience, but the grass roots feel of Irish road racing and the sport's pinnacle of the TT would've fit in nicely.
There is now and never will be - better racing than speedway!!!
Mine started doing that about 300 km in. The mechanic completely pulled the speedometer to take pics for warranty, and it hasn’t done it again after. One thing I did notice early on was moisture inside the speedo glass, I wonder if this is part of the issue. 🤔
J.N. Roberts...Wow!
Should be in memory of Carlin Dunne RIP...
No Isle of Man TT??? Good video, I'm old so I remember the first On Any Sunday.
Anything with more than two wheels is a waste of rubber.
Loved the reuse of the original monologue in places.
On Any Sunday and Endless Summer are why I ride and surf. After I saw On Any Sunday, at age 8, I couldn't stop talking about motorcycles and riding. My parents didn't get it at all. I scrounged up a broken mini bike by age 9, got it running, and fixed it up (meaning I painted it flat black and took the muffler off. By age 10 I traded some stuff and the cash I had saved and bought a broken, no title, Yamaha DT 60. My parents were not happy. Again, I got it running, fixed it up, and got a title for it. It just went on from there. My Dad played team sports (which I was not interested in at all) and couldn't understand what I was doing with dirt bikes and surfboards. Eventually, they gave in and supported my interests even though they never really understood it. I'm pretty sure they thought all of it would fade away as I "matured" Anyone who rides or surfs knows the answer to that.
Looks like this was released around 2014. It's about time for an upgraded version .
