Simpsons Question

I need help with a question about the Simpsons. In the earlier seasons, probably around 4-7, Troy McClure had a film that had a long title, about, I believe a flying bike, and started off with:

The Fantastical Adventures of... something something something, etc.

Can anyone help me out?

Sometimes I cheat myself thinking that I'm a huge Simpsons fan. But then I see questions like this...

The greatest thing Troy McClure ever did was the stage musical "Stop the Planet of the Apes I Want to Get Off".

No way, Christmas Ape and Christmas Ape Goes to Summer Camp are the best.

But I loved Dustin Hoffman in "The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel."

That has one of the best lines from Troy:

I am paraphrasing from memory here...

Stoner:Oh man is this bag has diamonds, when where is out stash?
Troy: There is more than one way to get high baby!
The two proceed to race through the streets of San Francisco a la Bullitt.

"Calling All Quakers!"

I'd love to see the plot that provokes that response.

Let's not forget "The Muppets Go Medevial"!

Troy: Oh Princess Fair, wilst thou grant me thine dainty hoof in marriage?
Piggy: Oh, Sir Lies-A-Lot, I will!
Kermit: Unhand the swine, you swain! Come, Piggy. back to Hamelot.
Piggy: Heck no, frog. Me and Iron Pants are just getting acquinted.

Lisa: Dad, what's a muppet?
Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, and it's not quite a puppet, but man... So to answer your question I don't know.

There's this thing called Google. I don't know that that qualifies as "research."

Here is another favorite from the film "The Meat Council Presents: `Meat and You: Partners in Freedom"

Troy: Come on Jimmy, let's take a peek at the killing floor.
Jimmy: Ohhh!
Troy: Don't let the name throw you Jimmy. It's not really a floor, it's more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported.
