Anyway, this thing is a movie shot pretty crudely in about 1970 about a group of guys on small (300cc?) bikes taking off from Denver and riding down to the Panama Canal. They&#8217;re not all adept at handling a motorcycle, at least not in the beginning. Helmets and eye protection are strictly optional, as is clothing at times. Who needs roads&#8211;let&#8217;s go cross-country.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that&#8217;s so crazy about it is that this is how things were back in that time. It&#8217;s a world so foreign to us now that it&#8217;s a shock to realize this is how it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s on YouTube and it&#8217;s broken into six 14-minute segments, plus the final 5-minute finale, so it will take a little of your time but it&#8217;s worth it.
