MV DAY FOR
CASTIGLIONI
T
housands of eager participants on bikes of ev-
ery kind and from every era ventured to Varese,
Italy on May 21 to remember the late Claudio Cas-
tiglioni. Thanks in part to Castiglioni, world-famous
brands such as Aermacchi, Cagiva, Husqvarna
and Ducati have made their way back into the mar-
ket and back into the dealerships to enjoy renewed
success and prestige. Not to mention, of course,
MV Agusta.
The event was also attended by two much loved
past champions with close ties to these brands -
Giacomo Agostini and Marco Lucchinelli.
MOVIE
FILMING AT
THE MILE
M
ovie Director Dana Brown
had a film crew at the
Springfield Mile this past week-
end shooting footage for the up-
coming movie "On Any Sunday,
The Next Chapter." Brown said
he's been working on the Red
Bull-sponsored project for about
a year and the movie is expected
to hit theaters in late October.
In addition to shooting actual
race footage, the crew set up a
bike with six cameras that former
Grand National rider Steve More-
head piloted. Morehead and a
group of top riders went out and
had a mock race with the camera
bike picking up the drafting and
frequent passing of a mile dirt
track.
Brown, who directed the criti-
cally acclaimed "Dust to Glory,"
said Red Bull Media House ap-
proached him about doing a new
version of "On Any Sunday," the
seminal motorcycle movie di-
rected by Brown's father Bruce
Brown.
"My initial reaction was 'Look,
that movie's flawless. It would be
asinine to try to do another one,' "
Brown explained. "I talked to dad
and he said, 'Well… I think it's
time. Motorcycling could use it,
so why don't you do it.' So with
his blessing I went back to Red
A Triumph that housed six cameras
was ridden by Steve Morehead (in

sequences for "On Any Sunday, The
Next Chapter" at the Springfield
Mile.
