The peak of civilization: Banana seats, sissy bars, ape hangers -- and James Brown

Don't let the storyboards ("gasoline was rationed based on your license plate number"?! On which planet?) or the cheesy morphing effect throw you off your game. This is a pretty awesome parade through the 1970s, and a great soundtrack smooths over a thousand flaws.

Selfishly speaking, this is the first time we've seen that Kawasaki chrome suspension bike since about 1976 (the first fully suspended bike ever!) that Jeff Hokeness rode (lucky bastard).
