    Easy Rider parody

    This is a fun movie and if you're old enough, a pretty good belly laugh regarding the whole Easy Rider thing.

    Motorcycles, bars, and the West.

    Not a bad flick! Pretty fun/funny and the production quality was pretty good. It also seemed to get much better as the film went on. A very quotable movie that seemed to take inspiration from Easy Rider, Big Lebowski, and maybe even a little bit of Two Lane Blacktop. I'm not much of a reviewer and this is my first IMDb review. I'd have liked a little more character development/background for some of the characters, but overall Northway and Sanders were great characters. And, of course, there is always a woman. She arrives a little late in the flick but nonetheless still a good character with a bit more development/background than the other two.

    Had potential

    Had great potential but had unneed sex scenes. Should have stuck to the road and bar theme.

    People who seek life

    My attachment to this movie is because of similar events in my life. Starting out my adult life in sales, I felt years later the need for "more" while owning at that time most of what I thought I needed to be happy. This movie will probably not connect with those who only have dreamed but never made the leap to living a cavalier bohemian lifestyle. For us who have, this is a reminder of the past and our initial move to make this happen and live more free while continually seeking "clarity". I found something that resonates with my spirit of freedom after shrugging off the constraints the typical American way dictates. If you are a biker, sailor, pilot of just a wanderer, this may be something you would enjoy.

    Not just a fun motorcycle flick

    I went into this thinking that it might be just a fun motorcycle bar hopping movie, I saw the trailer, seemed to have better production values than the average independent movie, so I bought a limited edition DVD from the creators. This movie was really much more than I expected. It was not just a trip from bar to bar with some wild adventures and fun on a motorcycle. Yes it was full of interesting places and characters and the bike is just a back drop not a focal point. Thanks to Northway's character the movie was a thoughtful and deep that left me thinking long after the last scene. Sure not all of the acting is up to the latest Hollywood film, but cut it some slack and give it a chance, you'll be happy you did.
