6. On Any Sunday may be one of the most important motorcycle films out there, if only for the number of riders today who can point back to the movie as the inspiration for their interest in motorcycles. Released in 1971, this film introduced America to the many kinds of motorcycle racing by following stars like Mert Lawill and Malcolm Smith throughout the racing season. A classic in every respect, this film makes for a great afternoon of fun when you can’t be out riding. Price: $22.45. More info: www.MotorcycleClassics.com, www.BikeBandit.com

7. The History of the TT: The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races 1907-2006 from Duke Video is a serious documentary. The DVD jacket states, “This is the definitive history of the world famous Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races with coverage of all races from 1907 to 2006. Superb footage, interviews and narrative tell the story of the TT.” And when they say “definitive history,” they’re not kidding, as the film stretches to nearly four hours. It’s divided into eight chapters, and we’d recommend watching it in pieces. Otherwise, the sheer amount of history can get a little overwhelming. If you don’t like to read and truly want to be a student of the TT, we don’t know a better way. Price: $31.45. More info: www.MotorcycleClassics.com , www.BikeBandit.com 

8. While Long Way Down may not feature classic motorcycles, the idea of traveling and discovering by motorcycle is still enough to get our attention. Follow Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as they travel from Scotland to South Africa via Europe and Africa aboard BMW R1200GS Adventure motorcycles. Price: $24.95.

    Another movie involving motorcycles is the 1995 award-wining picture "Back of Beyound" in which a classic Triumph twin is an integral part of the plot.
