I was in my late 20's and saw it in a theater. There was no motorcycle racing in the metro NY area, so the movie opened up a whole new world.

Then, around the same time, the AMA ran one Half-Mile at a harness racing track On Long Island (Roosevelt Raceway). What I remember about that night is the sound of all those Harleys, the way they slid through the turns so close to each other, and seeing Bart Markel race.

thats one of my favorite movies of all time (and I was born in 87...), the oil dry thing is still done like that to an extent.  I've been at a few tracks where they leave it down if its not right in the race line especially if its a LONG line of oil.  Hell I was in the middle of a race at Talladega when I saw the corner worker setting a fire on the race track!  Apparently somebody had crashed and dumped some gas so if its well off he race line they strike a match and burn it up.  Makes sense now but when your racing for position and your braking for a corner and see a fire in the track its a little freaky.

anyway, I pop On Any Sunday in the DVD player in my garage occasionally when I'm working on a bike, its the perfect background movie for mechanicin'

"On Any Sunday" has an extended segment on Lawwill.

I asked because I have owned two mountain bikes with Lawill suspension designs. I still have one of them. I sold the other one to a guy in Japan for $6K USD. Good stuff waytogo.

Little thread jack, but some cool Mert history.

Check out the years of all these designs...unbelievable.

Because of this thread, I watched it again last night.  It is on Netflix instant.  He has such a great documentary style - downright hilarious in spots.

ok, anybody critiquing "on any sunday" is required to post whether they were even born when it was made.

I was 3 when part II came out.
My folks didn't take me to see it though.
