Post by: TwoBobRob on November 28, 2006, 12:46 AM: True. I shyed away from watching On Any Sunday for decades, but saw it earlier this year and loved every minute of it. Quite inspirational really. Dust to Glory is another film in the same vein all about the Baja 1000, well worth a look :)

Yeah. You'll find it in Videohouse or Amazon maybe. Motorcycle based, and focusing on a couple of riders predominately. Bloody good though :daumenhoch:
