Nobody in film seems to understand motorcycles. I'm tired of seeing sport bikes rumble like cruisers, Im tired of seeing 4-stroke bikes sounding like two-strokes, and people riding open-piped cruisers jn situations where they need to be quiet. There was that recent attempt at cashing in on Indiana Jones, set in the late 1940's, and someone is riding a bike with fuel injection, overhead valves, and disc brakes. I've seen it too many times where an "old bike" was needed and it's obvious someone bought a Softail off craigslist and expected that nobody would notice the difference between a ten year old bike and a 70 year old bike.

Just take all that and substitute horse for motorcycle. Though it is nice to occasionally actually see someone who can ride.

Man do I hate it when they ride a horse with fuel injection and over head valves. It's like they don't care

Exactly. Everyone knows horses are still carbureted
