Silver Dream Machine - David Essex (From Silver Dream Racer)

[MrPomdownunder]

David is so cool ! I saw him in concert at Fairfield Hall and he hi 5'd me ! I haven't washed my hand since.....

Apparently the silver dream racer was only a TS125 under the plastic....

[iveco321]

@MrPomdownunder if i remember correctly it was a ducati pantah 500cc - i was 16 years old at the time and they had one in the ducati show room wolverhampton - i spent hours just standing there looking at it !

[MrPomdownunder]

@iveco321 I had a workmate who's dad was on set and it was a piddly TS that David used for his riding shots. Apparently David was insured up to 15 mph and then the stuntman took over....I reckon they could have used a Duke for some of the pics- as you rightly say arguably the best looking motorcycle marque....

[canadaleopard]

my god i adore this song! and the movie s**t! love bikes n stuff,,, and this.......... whooooooooooooooo

[0871237938]

David Essex now plays one of the Moon family in Eastenders

[billy2rivers1]

[marlee127]

@billy2rivers1 Or maybe, Eddie from eastenders ;-)



[billy2rivers1]

@marlee127 Haha rock on .

[sharona1981]

This song makes me want too go out and buy a fast motorcycle and race it...just without the 'crashing into a wall and bursting into flames' bit.

[Swanagesunrise]

Loved this film, loved Stardust too! Best of all he still looks as gorgeous as ever. His eyes were always the best for me, just felt like I could melt with those sparkling blue peepers looking through the screen. Missed him in Eastenders though, cos however much I like DE I can't bare the programme with it's constant depressing scripts ;oP "ROCK ON" David!

[cutestcoolkiz]

[bladesmark1]

@mattdyer1991 not very nice are you?

[LutherStarling]

My grandmother's name was Lalla too! She was such a character and I loved her to the ends of the earth. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her, and of my late parents also. Love you guys.

[1thiswas]

THere was a girl at our school in the mid 70's who was such a fan of his that every time a song of his came on the radio she would simply burst into tears! Her ame was Lala - she later married a millionaire!

[DeeGee941]

Hell always be king of cool,if any guy could look like anyone in his later years.Thats how I wanna look,snow on the roof and fire in the eyes.ROCK ON!!

[0312531]

I dont care if this song is about a sandwhich toaster.....David essex rocks......well he did in the 80`s when he looked fit .....now sadly he is old and grey and now appearing in Eastenders........rock on David xc x xx

[F4foxbravo995]

The next best thing to flying a fast jet, and great music!

[Izzetafox]

I remember attending the 1979 British Grand Prix at Silverstone & they filmed plenty of action shots for the film that day. Anyone remember the Suzuki GT250X7 Silver Dream Racer Replica you could buy?!!

[margatelad]

@Izzetafox YES IT WAS CRAP, VERY UNSTABLE.ON THE CORNERS.

[laosandburma]

EXCUSE ME...Not many people know THIS...Most of David's songs started out food-related - his real name being Cook...No really, there's ..."Hold Me Toast"..."If I Cook"...."Gonna make you a jar" - about sharing his jam - Oh what a Circus was originally "Blow, it's hot on purpose" and of course the wonderful song "Fridgelight" And this whole film WAS going to be about David making sandwiches at high speed. But the producers said no. TRUE.

[waynedaly100]

i all ways like essex,thatel be the day and stardust,are great movies

[Sp3ckledJim]

And now all we have is crap rap,that babbles on about their hoes,shootings,and drugs made with a synthesizer and drum machine where the imagination is non existent the professionalism numb and leaves you with nothing but disdain for the commercialisation and promotion of such shi*.What makes me even more irritated is the 'MOBO.(music of black origin).We can't have a MOWO(music of white origin) because it might be branded as racist.HAHAHA what crap these communists are.Bring back the musicians!

[TheSpaniellover]

@Sp3ckledJim Spot on!

[criss68is]

Does matter for what was this song write. If you see this movie, you will see it's special for this.

Try to see the "Silver dream racer" movie.

[SweetyHabana]

*Super Awesome, Great Track...Thanks so much for Uploading. 5 STARS*****For You...* Got to be in My Favorite.*

[ancelet19]

[MrConcepto]

[tillyireland]

[MrJustgangbang]

Silver dream is a great movie during my racing days. Thank for adding this onto youtube. It bring back good memories..

Lindsey loo

[newall7]

hey jtee man , as long as i can have holly willoughby as the topping

cos i like the taste of my crumpet mmmm

[pyenapple]

Everybody who is posting comments on this video is a nutcase. Read below and see. It's utter chaos. I kind of love it, actually. And now I'm part of it.

[drseanelius]

Essex once got into the tabloids after having a row in a Colchester pub...He had just been handed a toasted sandwich consisting of hare, cheese, baked bean and banana. In a fit of rage he swung the toastie at the man he was arguing with, bursting open the molten filling which poured onto the man's face, giving him first degree burns, permanent scarring and blinding him on one eye

[vigilantekiller]

Typical toasted sandwiches are a grilled cheese sandwich...but as dr seanelius informed us there is literally thousands of combinations...

[vigilantekiller]

Variously named, pie iron, pudgy pie iron, or jaffle iron, the basic design consists of two hinged, round or square concave metal pieces set on long handles. The "shell" clamps to form an enclosed compartment primarily meant for cooking toasted and stuffed sandwiches

[bAzTNM]

Cheesy, but absolutely tremendous!

[madbiker53]

the 1st bike movie i ever saw when i wos a kid brill film

[MrMjacko]

brill film

[vigilantekiller]

i love it when he dies in flames at the end of the film,marshmallow anybody...lol

[Usurped]

Great lyrics

[marcusaureliuscaesar]

If only I could go back in time, I would go back to 1980. A lot of political and social reforms at this time, which were manifested in Hollywood and the popular media. Some would say it represented the golden era of British television, 1978-84.

[SP07FPC]

drseanelius you are talking poops. A brevel sandwich toaster pre 1980. You bloody numpty

[vigilantekiller]

In 1974, the Australian company Breville released the "Snack 'n' Sandwich toaster", which sold 400,000 units within a year of release.......so get your fucking facts right.

[drseanelius]

SP07FPC: Actually the sandwich toaster was released in 1974...You are the numpty...1) For having a sense of humour bypass and 2) For being a little know it all who actually cannot distinguish shit from clay

[caitycole]

Gad! I had such a massive crush on David Essex in this movie- I was only 6 when it came out- but the writing was on the wall. This sure takes me back! :)

[drseanelius]

Not many people know this, but David Essex didn't write this song about a motorbike, the Silver Dream Machine he refers to is actually A BREVEL SANDWICH TOASTER which he got at a car boot fair. He was never happier making exotic combinations of fillings in his toasted sandwiches. Your legendary sandwiches were a winner David, my favourites of yours were scrambled egg and blackcurrant jam flavour. Long live your silver dream machine!

[alrightboy99]

jesus !!!!!!

[i2iz]

At least he could drive one unlike some men i know..

[Jojoseahorse]

The lyrics are kinda nice - who doesn't dream of winning....... :)

[tubewayarmy2005]

lol...@ mrhomerbojangles

i miss biking myself..after the x5 i got a yam 250 lc..then a honda cb 900...then a vfr 750..then a triumph tiger 900..then a yam xjr 1200..then the yam xjr 1300 sp(x4)

lol...i miss biking sooo much...might start again.....thats a thought lol

[kidballistic]

So, after watching Devil's Rejects I search youtube for his Rock On song, I remember it a bit as a kid. Great song, incredible cover done by Smashing Pumpkins on here as well. But, after looking at the rest of Davids stuff I am very suprised he ever even came up with one good song. All his other stuff is garbage, I have no idea who would like any of it other than 12 year old girls from the 70's. Peace.

[tubewayarmy2005]

i love this song, brings back loads of good memories....has anyone got this song on mp3 that can send it to me though my email address...i ended up with a suzuki x5 after watching this film lmao...if only i could turn back time, i would live through the 80s again thanks for adding this

[mrhomerbojangles]

On no not a Suzi x5.....

One of my first new bikes was a suzi x5 until some german doctor while visting the UK, deicdied to knock me off it on Boxing Day xmas.....

It was then that I passed my test and bought a brand new Suzi 550L what a bike. I miss them days. Should never have given up motorcycling. The worst ever mistake.....the best days of my life was riding bikes....

[pixieguy1976]

does anyone know how to download the whole movie, been wanting to watch it again for years now

[rhysalan00]

got vidio mate brings back gud memories when i add a fs1e before i got a yam 200 rd

[Mp5xPAISLEYxMp5]

This reminds me of my career in becoming and airline pilot.

[khalonen]

It is bad acting or so but still far better racing spirit than any movie today. Everything today is this fast&furious bolt-on chrome bullshit

[popemalevolent]

yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhh

Silver dream machine

[labyrinth5508]

oh that is so cool. i tried to get in to the pictures to see this with my mum and i was too young. she bought me some sherbert to make me stop crying.

[Dv2305]

[Dv2305]

My grandad make David Essex's motorbike for the film!

[theflesk1]

Please let me know if this kosher! We had this for my Dad when he passed.

[Dv2305]

sorry to hear about your dad

[theflesk1]

Don't want to sound cheeky, but my Dad always drove from the Punajab to Bombay on an old rubbish mc, and he thought he could convince my mum of buying Silver from DE? Silly sausage! Miss him loads xxx

[theflesk1]

thanks for the love xxxxx

[The2Roses]

Love this song...
