Like my predecessors reviews, I too have seen the original from a very young age, this of course inspired me also to a amateur career in racing dirt and road bikes. I also, naturally being so motorcycle orientated, have On any Sunday I & II and now this latest iteration.
It is unfair to compare each to the original, as even I find this is the best for me. It has "MY" era bikes and memories, however that does not mean I dismiss this new version as "No Good", or a poor attempt at trying to recreate the original. This it is not trying to do. It is showing motorcycling as it is now, what and who is the movers and shakers and for this I found it very entertaining. I especially enjoyed the Pikes Peak hill climb with the electric bike. Maybe they could have shown more dirt bike shots, but that has evolved now into stadium super-cross and not the wide open motocross of the 70's.
This is a really a good indication of just what has happened to our recreational side in motorcycling if you watch all three movies.
To me the type who lives and breathes his youthful days on a bike that he built himself, then this is just another must have piece of motorcycling memorabilia for my collection, for those days when the world feels bad and I want to feel good.
My last word is on the doctor riding around, yes it was boring, but it did show that our beloved motorcycle will always be there to help someone.
I believe this is worth watching and if you can also see the other two as a view to motorcycling time line from 1971 through to 2014.
