If he had been riding a bike...


They would never have been able to stop him. They would have given up before they even started. Say, if he had been riding a Kawasaki Z1. Now that would have been an even more exciting movie.

He wasn't a motorcycle delivery driver... he was a CAR delivery driver. And where exactly does he put those 2 hitch-hikers on a moped, err, motorcycle anyway?

They were riding pieces of crap, even by 70s standards. He should have scored weed from the guy and boned the chick, then gone on his way. It would have been easy to make the movie about a bike delivery driver. The Z1 is probably the best bike from around that time, and bikers were truly crazy back then (Even Knievel etc.). Escaping the cops would have been a piece of cake.

I read that subject line "bike" (as in bicycle) and thought I was heading into a thread fulla laughs.

I'm holding onto that mental image of Kowalski on a BMX.

Nooo, more like a powder-blue 1970 Schwinn 10 speed with the extra skinny rims and tires.
