What movie? (guy on motorcycle time travels)...out around 1985
So basically, it was this guy on a motorcycle and I think he had this sophisticated helmet that can tell distance and all that. He time travels by accident I think from the future to the not so distant past. And I think near the end had something to do with a gun and maybe a helicopter coming back to that time from the future and clipping the baddie. The motorcycle man also had a love interest.
I was almost certain the movie title had "Time" in it. I wanted to say "TimeRunner" but it is definitely not the one with Mark Hamill.
I almost think Fred Ward was the motorcycle man, but I don't really know.
I am pretty sure it was early to mid 80's.
Anyone know what I am talking about and can give me the title?
Thanks in advance.

Just got it..."TimeRider" and it was with Fred Ward. Go me!
Now if I could only find this somewhere to see, I would love to.
"Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann"
Anyone remember this jewel from 1982...man that was some good squishy!

Yep, I got this when it came out and as I watched the ending I was left scratching my head wondering if I missed something. It is edited, which sucks because I loved the movie.

Even though it has nothing to do with time travel. this thread reminded me of Street Hawk, the TV show (basically Knight Rider with a motorcylce that didn't talk).

I say get it cheap because the whole movie is left intact so the jokes are still there, but the editing robs you of seeing the villain getting it.
