Title: Need a 62/63 bsa or Norton nyc area for a film
Post by: amamet on April 11, 2024, 09:39:39 PM

Hey guys, not a guzzi, I know. I’m running the picture car department of a major film being shot in Jersey City. I’m looking for a 1962/63 Norton or BSA for our lead character, shoots on April 23 and figured I would ask the community since we all have other old bikes besides our Guzzis. Please dm or call if you have something. Must run and be in nice condition.
Thx

Very cool…

Anyone out there, movies constantly need vintage cars and motorcycles..i had a few calls on my 67-8 V700 for movies but it didn’t make the cut..

I'll crosspost on the NJ MGNOC there's some vintage bike guys there.

OP - if you can't find someone that way, there's a vintage bike rental agency in Kennett Square PA (not THAT far away from Jersey City) who might have something available (71 BSA, 73 Norton):

Also the "Gathering of the Nortons" is coming up north of Trenton on 4/28

Start with the Annual Gathering of the Nortons which runs from 10AM-2PM
Performance Garage Club, 834 NJ Rt 12, Frenchtown, NJ 08825

Though it is past your shoot date if you can get in touch with the DVNR club they should be able to offer a plethora of possibilities.
