The protagonist is a wanna-be journalist riding an airhead BMW sidecar rig while researching his idea for an article.... the best bar in western america. A down-on-his-luck kinda guy, rides from roadside bar to roadside bar sampling the wares and he ends up losing his girlfriend and his article publisher's advance due to some shoddy work and slow performance.
The body of the story follows him as he continues his visits "discovering" what the small bars in the American Southwest have to offer him. A bit of a sole-searching story that comes alive when he meets an older King-of-the-Road type guy that shows him the meaning of life. (think Mr Bojangles)
FYI - a lot of foul language, and sexual situations (nothing graphic) so if you're sensitive and/or watching with someone sensitive, make this movie "buyer beware"
A nice character study more than a motorcycle movie in my opinion. I really liked this movie. So much so, I had a movie watching night for our MC club and had more than 15 couples show up. Even the language sensitive folks in our group tolerated it and liked the movie. ( I did warn them in advance).
