On Any Sunday


Stumbled across On Any Sunday on Hulu today, watch it for free. I figured I'd post it here since Mert Lawwill was a recent topic of discussion.

I watched "On Any Sunday II" earlier this week. I probably hadn't seen it since 1981. I was absolutely GEEKED when that movie came out (Bob Hannah, King Kenny Roberts, etc.) It's pretty hard to find, I got it through Netflix.

The combination of watching "On Any Sunday II" & the HBO mini-series "The Pacific" prompted me to look up the neighbor mentor that helped me cut my motorcycle mania teeth. 93 years old and still cooler than I will ever be. I hope I have that kind of influence on someone that isn't a blood relative somewhere down the line...

Just watched "On Any Sunday" for the first time in my life. Brought back a lot of memories of the "Big Dig" and trying not to get blasted by my brother's rooster tail, loops with Mr. T. on reservation property, and of course the stop at McDonalds on the way home after burning enough calories to earn it.
Seems like a different time. Can't help wondering if today's kids aren't missing some pretty cool stuff because they're glued to their electrons...

My Dad introduced that movie to me many years ago. Amazing stuff. I agree with Flathead- kids ARE missing out. Nobody risks anymore.
