Plot

Colonel James E. Devers's newly converted motorcycle unit has had a lot of experience riding horses, but not much riding motorcycles. Enter Grady Westfall, a biker faced with the choice of prison or teaching the military how to ride. Grady quickly proves to be a headache for Colonel Devers, who dislikes both Grady's unorthodox methods and his interest in his daughter Beryl Ann. 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.

Reception

The film was largely panned upon its release,[3] and Entertainment Weekly gave the movie a D+ rating and commented that it was "a big failure on the most basic dramatic level."[4] In a 2009 article PopCrunch listed Stamos on their "20 Worst Action Film Stars of All Time" article for his role in Born to Ride.[5]

Filming

Some scenes were filmed at Piran, now Slovenia (motorcycle race in Spain).
