why is it called EAT THE PEACH ?


Not seen the film so looking for the easy way out - anyone tell me why the title when it's a motorcycle film ?

"Eat the peach" is taken from the poem, The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock.

In the poem, Prufrock is a very indecisive man, who worries "do I dare to eat a peach"? So in the film, the lads are eating the peach by daring to go for it, to have a shot at realising their dreams.

Many thanks- very glad erudite people willing to impart their knowledge like yourself exist
