"Growing Old Disgracefully is an Australian doco about motorbikes and families, and how relationships change over time. Most people outside of Australia will never have seen this film, in fact many in Australia have never seen it either. It was made on a shoestring budget and released back in 1999 by Dominic Bourke. The film centres around Bourke's family - in particular his relationship with his father. The other major character in the film is the Ulysses Club, an Aussie motorcycle club for people over the age of 40. The club's motto is - no prizes for guessing - 'Growing Old Disgracefully', which is borrowed for the title of the 52 minute film."
My, my, did we dress like that back then? I didn't spot any K Forum members but maybe those Down Under will recall a mate or two in the film. It goes on a bit but you might find a gem or two in there that you can keep. Click on the link above to watch it on Silodrome.com
