Born to be Wild. <br /><br />Yes, a film about the times, but nonetheless highly watchable today for the unpredictability of who they meet on the road.

As a historical document, somewhat flawed and biased however.saperahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553004590976656655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-76185824211670551612008-07-18T22:57:00.000+05:302008-07-18T22:57:00.000+05:30Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
