Bruce Brown's documentary on motorcycle racing is thorough, well-photographed and fun. However, it did not make me want to go out and buy a bike, quite the opposite in fact, given that I do not want to experience a "flying W" or slide across pavement at over 100 mph. Apparently for other people this provides the meaning for their lives, and more power to them.
