Born to Ride is a 1991 American action film directed by Graham Baker. The film was released on May 3, 1991, and starred John Stamos as a biker turned military corporal.
Plot Colonel James E. Devers's newly converted motorcycle unit has had a lot of experience riding horses, but not much riding motorcycles. Enter Grady Westfall, a biker faced with the choice of prison or teaching the military how to ride. Grady quickly proves to be a headache for Colonel Devers, who dislikes both Grady's unorthodox methods and his interest in his daughter Beryl Ann. But when Grady discovers that his unit is ill-equipped to launch a rescue mission in Spain, he decides to accompany his unit in the hopes of increasing their chance of succeeding in the dangerous mission.
