Born to Ride is a 1991 film directed by Graham Baker.[1] The film was released on May 3, 1991 and starred John Stamos as a biker turned military Corporal.[2]
Synopsis
Colonel James E. Devers's (Sandy McPeak) newly converted motorcycle unit has had a lot of experience riding horses, but not much riding motorcycles. Enter Grady Westfall (John Stamos), a biker that is faced with the choice of prison or teaching the military how to ride. Grady quickly proves to be a headache for Captain Jack Hassler (John Stockwell), who dislikes both Grady's unorthodox methods and his interest in his daughter Beryl Ann (Teri Polo). But when Grady discovers that his unit is ill equipped to launch a rescue mission in Spain, he decides to accompany his unit in the hopes of increasing their chance of succeeding in the dangerous mission.
