Right, so a long while ago, maybe a year, maybe a little more, somebody posted the trailer for a motorcycle related comedy on this board.
As you know, when trailers get posted around here, thread titles are something like "This looks fun" or "Great new film!", and all the comments are also to that effect. So, basically, finding keywords that will help with the whole search thing is a pain in the ass.
Thing is, I just remembered that film, and I'm wondering why I haven't heard of it since.

What I remember from the trailer, the story went along the following line:
Three scruffy motorcyclists decide to go for a weekend in the country. There, among the green, green hills, they find a massive field of cannabis. They decide to come back with a van and load up.
When they do come back, they are not alone in the area: a gang of chopper-riding stereotypical bikers and a gang of sportsbike riders have converged in the area to have themselves a gang-war, and the three protagonists are caught in the middle.
The film was, I believe, british.

Does anyone remember the title of that film? Or the title of the thread where the trailer was posted?

I tried the search here and I tried the power-search on imdb, to no avail.

i think it was "Freebird"

YESS!!! Thank you!!

Just watched it. It's effin brilliant!

Not the film you were looking for, but a really classic British motorcycle film:

That is all.

Well, humorous, but fairly shite, too. Not saying it's terrible and stay away, but fairly shite...

It's good. A bit arty though. Starring Marianne Faithful.
