DUDE, WHERE'S YOUR BOOTS?

Man, do I miss the old days. I saw a group of bikers near the beach today. Bikers, as in the old school, greasy, dirt under the fingernails, chopper variety. Filthy leather vests, boots, all the gear that used to invite shakedowns from the man. They used to be crawling all over the place. Nowadays, the only "bikers" you see around here are more likely to be straight professional types playing dress up for the weekend. It was refreshing to see the old guard. I think I may have even muttered "fuck yeah".

As serendipity would have it, once I got home I ran into the theme from "The Born Losers" at On the Flip-Side. The combination of these two events had me jonesing for a biker flick, hokey as they can be. I hit paydirt, seven old school biker flicks at YouTube, a good ten hours of don't hassle me, man fun. And, if you still want more, check the sidebar over there, there's a bunch. Apparently that's where they all ended up once the drive-ins closed down. And while we're on the subject, in case you didn't see them a year or so ago, there's links to the soundtracks of thirteen biker flicks below too.
