Over the years I have written into magazines. Putting in my $.02 and often getting to see my words in a national publication, Rider, MCN and a few others. Well, I went online and on the AMA website they asked..."what's your favorite motorcycle movie"... I replied , and they printed it with 6 other replies. I think this is my first in the AMA magazine. You want to know what I said...look in the AMA magazine ;D...If you aren't an AMA member and live in the U.S. :o, you should be a member.

January or February?  I can't seem to find it online at the moment.  My Feb issue hasn't arrived in the mail yet.

EDIT:  Never Mind - found it in the "Backfire" Archives for December, 2007.  I tend to agree with your choice & comments.  Well Done!!!   ;D

While I was there, I made a submission for the January, 2008 Backfire.  We'll see if they publish it.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

h2o, I saw yours...I placed a similar comment. I think an idea of multiple statements saying the same thing...they should print one.   "25 years later"

Ok- AMA asked-"My all time favorite motorcycle movie is..."
"World's Fastest Indian. That movie urges us all to defy conventional thinking. If you have the will, you'll find the way."  You just have to see this movie.

I've seen it several times.  Great movie!  Missed it in the theaters, but it plays well on TVs.

Even better yet on the 7.1 surround.   ;D

I didn't think that most DVD players/DVDs supported 7.1 surround yet, or do you have sets of speakers ganged together?

I tried to find Burt Munroes place a few weeks ago when I was down south.  I got the right street I think, but nothing that looked like the shed that was in the film.

No, the receiver futzes with the signal.  There are (were) some HD-DVDs with 7.1 output.  However, the overall sound is amazing for a cheap HTIB setup.  Can't believe it was under $500.  All speakers are bigger than the micro stuff so popular today -- especially the front 3 & subwoofer.

Been waiting for the HD / Blu-ray format war to end before getting a new player.  Now waiting for prices to drop a bit.  May go with a PS3 even though I'm not much of a game player but they do play Blu-ray & I'm sure there are some games I may want to play.

Ah, the modern version of what I have.  Prologic (not even II  ;D)

I upgraded from a 5.0 (no subwoofer out) Prologic Kenwood.  Price was under $500, tax included!  Listened to many systems & none had near the punch & features this one offered for anywhere near the same price.  Closest was over 2x more.  Was going to get separate receiver & speakers, but this system was too good to pass up.  My only complint is that the HDMI is only pass-through, so I do need both HDMI & Component video cables - at least until I get the Blu-ray player.

Had to get something to take advantage of the sound available with HD broadcasting (DirecTV).  The 42" Panasonic plasma is still fantastic.  Watching concerts is amazing.  The Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" DVD is incredible and the DirecTV showings of Chicago & Meatloaf were especially memorable.

Moved the old Kenwood into my bedroom.  The lack of a subwoofer isn't really an issue there, since I have an ancient set of Cerwin Vegas with 12" woofers to handle the lows.  Still, the sound is no match for the new, cheap Onkyo system.
