Norman's Shovelhead is identifiable in the movie by the sound. It hit the screen and I said to my GF - "that's not a panhead, that sounds like a shovel..." Audio was too good lol.
As someone who’s been in the vintage Harley scene most of my life now my hopes and dreams of getting a knuckle or a pan just got a little dimmer. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we hit another chopper craze in society.
There was never a "suicide shifter". It was a tank shift. Sometimes guys would have a "suicide clutch" where you would have to hold it with your foot and if your foot slipped off then it would take off and possibly shoot you into traffic.
I've actually heard it referred as both. Just depends on who's telling a story. Also called a "Jockey" shift. And I'm well into my 50's. Been riding since the 80's.
True suicide is Jockey top transmission cover, ass scatcher shifter, spring pedal clutch and no front brake. I rode a 47 ULH in the early 80's. I have a stock 49 Pan and that tank shift isn't suicide. Got my first Triumph in 1975.
@@jdub6025 Yup. And maybe other makes were phasing out drum brakes in the 50s-60s but it sure the hell wasn't Harley. 73 before they had them on both ends...and they weren't great. My 51 Pan drum brakes worked good if you kept them adjusted.
the book had all kinds of bikes... some brit bikes... maybe even a bmw? but a lot of them were choppers, not just harley dressers. the movie is supposed to be in the 60s. all those bikes would have been pretty expensive for a bunch of poor boys. and those bikes were pretty stock.
It looks like a good movie but it's a really stupid name for a movie. I ride a motorcycle, a bike has two pedals. A motorcycle does not. Why not the bikers.

Huge Norman Reedus fan but man Austin Butler has been killing it. Seems like such a genuine dude
Reedus, you stole every single scene you were in. You were brilliant!

The value of all these bikes just quadrupled after this movie.
They were already crazy expensive
Good Movie... captured the essence of the time and local. Everything just clicked on this one. Even Benny's girls watch fit!
Great movie. I can’t wait to watch it again.
Going to see it to it tomorrow. Can’t wait
Saw the movie.. the bikes are the stars.. the story is real.. a must see ..
very much looking forward to seeing this film.
I got bored and didnt think to much of the movie, more hype than actually great film.
Seeing the flic tomorrow! Wish I could ride my Electraglide to the theatre
I love you video of norman reedus is my favourite actor on the bikeriders from brittaney geelong Victoria

@railroad7401 Glad someone finally got it right. You saved me from having to do it, lol

Drum breaks, front and rear, were standard in all motorcycles, even racers, until the 1969 Honda CB 750 introduced a front disk brake.
I don’t even have a front brake on my ironhead chopper. Rear drum brake only
There is nothing such as a suicide shift! Only a suicide clutch!
No self-respecting rider would ride without goggles/shades. One bug to the eyeball is all it takes. They should know better.
Back in those days many did ride without.Theres several videos of the late great Hells Angel Sonny Barger riding without
Sometimes you just jump on & start riding & don't want anything on your face except air
I rode a dirt bike on the street most of the time back in the 80s with no helmet no glasses. Don't know how I didn't get my eyes FD up.

Hope everyone makes a club like the movie
Old Harleys are already to expensive. Now they are going to even worst after dentists and lawyers see this movie. Knucklehead is the best motor ever.

Very cool
Nice😊
At least here they do show motorcycles because in the movie NONE
I ride a Harley but..I won't be watching this
Expand please…
Yeah you will, great fuckin movie.
It looks like a good movie but it's a really stupid name for a movie. I ride a motorcycle, a bike has two pedals. A motorcycle does not. Why not the bikers.
If you read the book, it explains it. They weren't called Bikers then. Bikers were called Bike riders....
Named after the book.
The movie flopped hard.
The actors saved it somewhat but they could have done better.
Don't waste your money. Not worth watching when/if it hits Netflix...
One big HD commercial, yawn.
You clicked on the vid bud
@@memesouls8653 Yawn.
Well, Corporate Harley is sending movie posters to all of the dealerships. 😁
