Because of product placement deals, we had to use new bikes. I originally wanted to use new short stroke Knuckle motors. The bikes had to do all kinds of crazy stunts. when you see the film, you'll be shocked. The stunt rider Lee Morrison has got to be one of the best riders I've ever met.The movie is going to be great. Justin Kell GLORY I built the bikes for the film.

It is as unecessary as finding a man that can actually fly to play in a Superman movie. If you want to see a movie with old bikes in it, I suggest "The Wild One".

I work outside the train station they filmed certain parts of the film, including some motorcycles stunt scenes. All of the bikes were dressed-up and modified brand new harleys. Several had been done up to look like Indians, obviously some had be made to look like old harleys. From watching them use and abuse these bikes during filming, as well as the risk to the riders and cast that existing in the riding they were doing (riding at speed through a croud on a train platform) it became clear to me that (1) you would be a fool to attempt what they were doing on a period correct bike (with its 50 year old brakes) and (2) you would be a bigger fool to abuse a collector bike like that. That said, they could have done a much better job with making the new bikes looking old. I am not sure that it was product placement.

I saw a preview for that and everything looked period correct, until i saw a softail springer in it. I don't care how customized it is, its not a period bike, therefore I shouldn't be in a "period" movie. There are plenty of WLA's out there they could have used. in my eyes it just makes the movie people look stupid and think that they believe the public is stupid, coz "Hey, they will think its old!"

They should pass them out in schools to inpressionable kids....like tobbaco companies do.
