Revving bikes

[coltras35 · 7/10 · 1 October 2021]

Talk about burning rubber and intrigue on the dirt track when Michael is sent to investigate the death of a motorcycle racer in last year's Oakside charity race, which happens to be sponsored by the Foundation.

Plenty of bike racing, and sabotage ensues- it's a busy plot and a noisy one with revving bikes sound. Great stunts, and if that's not enough, check out Devon doing a wheelie at the end.

We ride together, we die together...

Devon on a motorcycle, I never thought I'd see the day. Michael takes on a mystery killer with a motive that wasn't so hard to see but somehow took up to the final second. Decent action and acting.

Speed Demons

KITT is described as the eighth wonder of the world, as a race show host is astounded that a car can talk. It is a shame that he never saw Michael Knight talking to his watch.

The Knight Foundation are sponsoring a charity dirt track race. A motorcycle racer died a year before and the Foundation wants to make sure that the death was an accident.

Speed Demons is rather a routine episode looking at the world of motor bike dirt track racing. The bad guy is broadly etched. Amazingly KITT is not equipped to go over steep sand inclines and rolls over as it attempts to do it. KITT's tyres do not have the traction and needs to be modified.

Devon shows off his motorcycling skills in this episode including the revelation that he used to take part in the TT races.

Character actor Kurt Fuller made his screen debut as a cameraman.
