Not the best, but the only one which springs to mind...
The Aussie film 'Stone', just because the guy riding the Commando was riding it properly.
One of my typically ignorant Jap riding 'mates' insisted it couldn't have been real :?
As for the rest of the film...'you know...(pauses for a slow toke) when you're riding a REAL...BIG.......BIKE....!'
Certainly showed me the way as a teenager

There was a nice Interstate in a French movie called l'Agression....no match for H2s but nice!

Profil Bas, a french film with signer Patrick Bruel where there are some nice shots of a Fastback, unfortunately, the fastback does not make it to the end of the film.

I watched that recently. Never wanted a bong hit so bad when watching a movie in my life, well, except for when watching Napoleon Dynamite. :|
ONE WEEK with Michael McGowan. Great shots of a "built to ride" 750 Commando. Many on the road shots, good sound (not great), one good get off, not unexpected mechanical problem along with expected reaction (prayer to start, etc.), and sad end to the bike when it is run over by a pickup truck. Altogether, the Norton is the star of the movie.

I remember now - the bike was on Ebay last year.
Always baffled me how a terminally ill bloke with no apparent source of income could go and secure a loan for a mint Roadster, but there y'go :roll:
I'd totally forgotten about Bob the Builder's voice-over man too!

Maybe not the best but a Norton none the less, ridden in the movie by the owner who is a regular at the European Norton meetings (and sidecar passenger at the Isle of Man TT ) , filmed in Ibiza where he lives

I've seen him start his commando with bare feet! He is a bit of a legend! When the producer saw him he asked if he wanted to star in the opening sequence rather than get an actor, and yes I did give him a hard time about the BSA T shirt :lol:
