Top gun - ninja 900 Two theories on the bike from black rain, 1981 Honda 400A or a Honda Silverwing with a backrest add-on. According to here. (http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070326220727AAusPvn) Some guy claimed he set it up for the movie; I did the bike back in 1984. It is a Honda 400 automatic. I believe the year to be about 1980 or so. It was bought along with two stunt bikes that weren't autos brand new from a dealer as leftover models. The automatic had its Comstar wheels converted to spokes to resemble the stunt bikes. The fairng is a brand name Kutter. I bought them from a company in Iowa I believe named the Kutter company. The three seats are one off,with hot pink velour inserts custom made in Drag Specialties upholstery deaptment. The sissy bar was a standard Drag spec. item. The handlebars are the 6 bend variety. As for the bikes today...one of the stunt bikes remains purple and is on display at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, MN. I redid Princes bike along with the thrashed stunt bike in black and gold for the movie Grafiti Bridge in about 1990. As for Sport Wheels having any of the bikes..doubtful...but any thing is possible. What they do have is a replica Kutter fairing that I sold them years back. They tell everyone that its off Princes bike.......wrong. Any other questions ?? I'd be more than happy to answer.....Tom. Here's a question; What kind of bike did arnold's daughters boyfriend ride in True Lies? Haven't seen it in years but I remember it being green so I'll go with Ninja ZX7R. :idk:

What Harrison Ford movie had a scene at Deal's Gap? Not going to include this in trivia, but if you ever been to Deal's Gap, watch Two Lane Blacktop, it's on comcast ondemand free movies right now. The last 30 mins or so is all around the dragon and it shows what the store looked like when it was the crofton motel and diner and the speed limit was 55 mph.

rly? I don't remember that scene... it's the dam scene, when he jumps. The bridge is now referred to as Fugitive Bridge. on the TN side it still says 55 unless otherwise posted Too bad it's posted on the dragon. :lol: two lane black top great movie about a real man racing some hippies and trying to rape an underraged girl. simply classic :lol: good summary of it, I am not sure they actually raced though. They kept getting side tracked and they all kept trying to rape the girl.
