Rolling Thunder XXIII on Memorial Day Weekend


I just realized that Memorial Day is coming and that there will be another Rolling Thunder in Washington, D.C. on May 30, 2010. This is Rolling Thunder XXIII [1] and [2]. I remembered the feeling I had at Rolling Thunder XVIII in 2005. In fact, I wrote an article about it with pictures. Take a look.

I also noticed that a great video about Rolling Thunder is also available on YouTube.

"Two Wheel Thunder" Season Opener Discussed

“Two Wheel Thunder” with Michele Smith & Jay Barbieri premiers on Discovery’s HD Theater, June 7th 2010.

The season opener will most likely feature footage from Daytona Bike Week and time spent with their friend Johnny Lange, owner of Strip Club Choppers.

Johnny and Jay have been friends for many years. "When we travel from rally to rally together there is never a dull moment," said Barbieri in a recent update about the show.  "Thank God for editing, and I say that with a smile.”

While shooting footage at the Daytona Beach rally for the upcoming season, they spoke with Johnny about Mazatlan Bike Week in Mexico, The Virginia Beach Classic, Thunder Beach in Panama City, and the ever-changing face of Daytona Bikeweek.

Michele Smith and Jay Barbieri will be hosting the brand new magazine show,“Two Wheel Thunder” on the Discovery network’s HD Theater, 8 to 9 p.m. est on Motorcycle Mondays.

Smith and Barbieri previously hosted "American Thunder" on the Speed Channel but after fourteen years, and despite high ratings, SPEED decided not to bring the show back.

Michele has been riding motorcycles since 1994 and is considered the “First Lady of Motorcycling” by millions of enthusiasts.

Barbieri is not only hosting the show this season but is also the Executive Producer. Barbieri has been riding a Harley for over 25 years, has hundreds of thousand miles under his belt and has attended countless motorcycle rallies across North America. Barbieri's Biker's Handbook (first published in 1964) is in it's third printing.


HD Theater is a high-definition television network from Discovery Communications, Inc., the owner of the Discovery Channel. It launched nationwide in 2002 as Discovery HD Theater and is now the most widely distributed basic cable HD network in the United States.

Top Motorcycle Movies of All Time?

A list of "26 Greatest Motorcycle Moves of All Time" is provoking a bunch of comments today on Facebook.

The list includes "Top Gun," "Easy Rider" and "Wild Hog" but omits "The Motorcycle Diaries."

The original article lists some B-movies alongside some cult favorites and more mainstream films, and includes some interesting details that are worth reading. Take a look HERE.

But, I think the list needs to be updated to include "The Motorcycle Diaries" (2004) that follows two friends through the sweeping vistas of South America on motorcycles. Walter Salles is no ordinary director and the cinematography is truely gorgeous.

"Diaries" reminds me how little of the South American landscape we ever see on film in the US.



Also... what about "The World's Fastest Indian" - Anthony Hopkins?


What do you think?
