Out of the water and onto the bikes, they hurled themselves through encouraging throngs: "Lookin' good! Keep it up!" One biker wore a helmet that looked like a silver tear cut in half, something Mercury himself might have favored. Off the bikes, pulling on running shoes, they shattered records in tying laces. Then they tore off on foot, the sound of their hearts pounding in their ears. Scott Molina was first to finish...

Thematically, Bobby offer clear expression of the leveling power of social intercourse...

Though motherly love and June Cleaver are not necessarily synonymous, it is still difficult to accept this absurd hybrid of James Dean and Phyllis Schlafly. Every member of Rocky's extended family of hard-core bikers emerges as a candidate for a humanitarian of the year award by the picture's end. Must we really believe that these Hell's Angels are so sympathetic and intelligent that they could displace Doug Flutie as the reigning icon of America's youth? In the midst of this three...
