There might be some Norton’s in the forthcoming ‘based on a true story’ movie rendition of... “The Wolf of Donington”...

Just watching it on YouTube now, and two points....
1. Up til 30th minute of a 90 minute movie the only bike I've seen her ride is a Harley - does she trade it for a 650ss?
2. Her riding style is amazing - if you watch her in a German city (23rd minute) she goes round corners without leaning the bike at all!
Apparently her riding "double" in longer shots was none other than Bill Ivy.
Cheers
Rob

I always thought the Norton was a 750 atlas ?

She dies on the Norton not the Harley.. but most of the stuff is showing her on the Harley apartfrom the scenes when she is being taught how to ride by Alan Delon . Didnt know Bill Ivy had done stunt work , but assumed the Norton shots round the bends had been done by speeding the film up... maybe not.

Started watching heartland on Netflix, was surprised to see a norton at season 3 episode 14. The 750 stays in the movie thru out. It gets wrecked and rebuilt a couple times. I enjoyed the series. Kind of a chick flick but enjoyed it. See if you can spot the norton bloopers.

Not for the faint hearted (and please don't ask/speculate how I know) but a couple of Mk3 Interstates appear in a very 'adult' continental shorty....

I used to think my tastes were quite broad at one time, Bernhard, but in these 'enlightened' times I find them less so...

The 1968 British film “If . . .” stared Malcolm McDowell, Richard Warwick, Christine Noonan, David Wood, and Robert Swann. Early in the film Mick steal a motorbike from a showroom. The motorbike shop was filmed at the Broadway Motor Company on Gladstone Road, Wimbledon. As memory serves me the cycle was a BSA Lightning.

Great Canadian clip of a Commando in the music video "Ouch" by the Tragically Hip. Just released in the album "Saskadelphia".
BTW where it was filmed is the farm which I grew up years ago. Recent years have seen the landmark house and barn complex turned into a tourist site and wedding venue.
