Well dang-diddly-dang! That movie won't play outside of the US. "We're sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States.... blah, blah, blah..."
Thanks for TRYING to share it with ALL of us!!

Hey Keith, don't despair. There's STILL somethin' kind of interesting on that website. Move down and take a look at that 3-wheeled motorcycle...that's 3 wheels in a row, not in a triangulated configuration. Interesting, huh...err...EH?! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That 3 wheeler is interesting. I watched some of the other vids 'cause they were Youtubes and worked at my IP address.

That movie is awesome. I saw if for my first time this last winter. They played it at our dealership after hours. We sat amongst the bikes and watched it on their big screen with popcorn. A nice way to help get through the winter doldrums.

My favorite part of that movie has always been the slow-motion shots of the flattrackers as they slide the tail ends of their Triumphs, Harleys, and BSAs around the oval at Ascot Raceway in SoCal(may it forever rest in peace  ), where you'd often find this young man(and now "a mite" older man) enjoying that action when the greats of that era would hit town in their ongoing quest for that much sought after prize...the mounting of the A.M.A. Grand National Champion Number-1 plate on their motorcycles for the following year's series of races.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

WOW! I must be getting old I seen that movie on the big screen and I just checked it would have been in 1971. I remember it was a good movie, about following a guy (Steve McQueen) race season on a quest for the championship. I am going to find it somewhere and rewatch it!

It was a great movie when it came in the begin of the -70 and it is still a great movie! I also recommend 'Baja 1000 Classic' by the same mr Bruce Brown and the modern 'Dust to Glory' made by Bruces son (or sonson?) Dana Brown. The have also made some fantastic movies about surfing - 'Endless Summer' and 'Step into Liquid'. I bought all those DVDs from Amazone and have no problem watching them here in Sweden.

Dust to Glory was really good too. Dana learned a lot from his dad.
