How Tony Stark of him.
Did he have to fight his way out?
A true road warrior I'm sure.
I'm sure he was chased by savages driving similar vehicles.

I couldn't help but notice there was no license plate on that motorcycle.

Mythbusters did a show about this, and they couldn't get it to work. Those guys are pretty talanted, but the best they could do was a motorbike so badly unbalanced they could barely ride it 100 yards. It did make for an entertaining show though.

The Flight of the Phoenix
The '64 version had Jimmy Stewart and Ernest Borgnine. It's actually developed a cult following. The '04 remake was just plane bad.
