Sorry,not realistic in any way
Sorry,this movie sucked when i saw it 30 years ago,and still sucks today. As someone who was involved with motorcycle racing for 15 years,all i can say is, very little of this movie is true. Sure,you can still build a bike,and race,but you first start off on the amateur circuit,working your way up the ranks to expert and proffesional. Money is a huge factor,it takes a bundle to get anywhere,travel and the expenses of staying at hotels or camping,fuel costs,parts costs,will all break you pretty fast. We did the endurance racing with a team for a time,and even if you place decent,your winnings total very little when you split them up. Sorry to rag on this movie,it just isn't that good and not very realistic,and a bunch of us who raced laughed at it hysterically. The best part of the movie was Pamela Ludwig.
