The title says it all. This movie reminded me a lot of my motorhead, dirty old man grandpa who still tinkers on old motorcycles and rides them all over the place. I loved this film, one of my favorites.... Full review

Good all around, nice story, excellent acting, well directed and produced. There's nothing to complain about here except that cynics won't have much to like. The good guy "wins," there are no bad people, no bad language, no sex or violence.... Full review
