Cycles South (1971)
That's the way it was in 1971 !
I stumbled across this on Xfinity free movies....this film was made after Easy Rider and is nothing like it. but....I enjoyed the relaxed way that it was produced and voiced over later. They start out on what look like BSA 250 Starfire single cylinder motorcycles, or Triumph Trophy 250 models, painted metal flake colors...and at the beginning, they fall down a lot, and I wonder just how far they will make it before breaking... it turns out they trade them in for new Kawasaki 175cc ? motorcycles before crossing over to Mexico. There is some classic nudity,(boy & girl, totally nude riding motorcycle through the river), free love in a commune, dope smoking, women chasing through out the film, but all in fun, I mean it WAS 1971 , after all. good times, good times. Considering the era, I think the cinematography was great, 16mm ?, and the time spent setting up the various shots. This is easy to watch while surfing the net, like I just did.
