Stock up on anything Norton

If this movie does anything like what "Worlds Fastest Indian" did for Bell vintage helmets then stock up on anything related to Norton. How much were those Bell helmets going for?

Prediction. Anything Norton related will increase in price proportionally to the success of the movie. Also, an increase in 20 something guys buying new (made to look retro) leather jackets with ass looking helmets. Then again, it is a Canadian movie so it's probably going to enjoy limited box office success.

wow....that looks absolutely terrible. Sucks for you Norton owners. But nothing will probably come from it that isn't already happening.
 
Man, that is about the worst picture of a guy on a bike I've ever seen.

Couldn't they at least put some short shocks on it so he could sit on the bike flat footed? And the kickstand? Blued pipes, horrible saddlebags, ugly helmet, ugly glasses, Blundstones for riding?

And how the hell is he supposed to haul chicks back to the motel with a solo seat? Doesn't look like much of a fun last week.
 
Whats the movie about? The phtos look pretty dreary and pondersome. Obviously its not about getting to Bonneville like WFI or he'd be grinning his head off. As I haven't been to a cinema in more than 20 years (Don't like paying to look at a 1/2 hour of commercials and idiots that cheer and applaude the end of a movie) I doubt that I will ever see it. But he should at least smile. He gets to ride a Norton even though he looks like one of those butch San Francisco men.
 
This flick is probably straight to video so look for it at your local Blockbuster if so inclined.
 
Dude has my jacket! Except mine's kind of butterscotch color.

Also, seriously - he looks *completely* uncomfortable on that bike. Dude, kickstand... KICKSTAND!

I was going to give him the heads up...but decided to let him figure it out! ;)

Seriously though, he looks uncomfortable on it.

(Much like how I looked the first day I had my bike)
 
I still forget from time to time. Last time a construction worker was waving to me. I thought he was waving because he thought my bike was cool so I waved back. About a quarter mile down the road when I turned left, I figured out why he was waving. :eek: Luckily the kickstand just popped up.
 
With his helmet on he looks like that Martian from the old /new Flintstones! Nice manly pic. But we'll all rent it once just to see the bike...
 
whats with his left arm. is he a vet did he loose it and they could not afford a decent replacement. looks like a young john mccain.

FIRST day I got my bike - pull up in front of one of the hipsterist bars in Seattle called the Redwood - pull up right outside, nearly drop the bike getting off, then when I leave I forget to pull up the kickstand, so I'm shooting sparks for a few yards. I was not joe cool that night.
 
I got my bike certified in Scarborough and I live downtown Toronto. This is about a 30 drive normally. I didn't really think too much about it when I dropped off the bike...but I sure as shit thought about it when I picked it up.

I had only been on a bike for the two days when I did my bike course. Puttin' around an empty parking lot in 2nd gear. When I picked up the bike, I had to ride across the city during rush hour on a Friday. Death ride. I stalled out about 10 times before I left the parking lot...took some side roads for 15 minutes and then took major roads all the way back. 90 minutes later I was safe at home with the new love of my life. I seriously considered sleeping in the garage that night.

Ha! That was the first thing I noticed.

Call me crazy, but I like it when pipes go blue ;) Something about the "used" look that I'm a fan of. Don't get me wrong, I don't want it to look like a piece of garbage, but blued pipes are totally cool with me 8)

Those saddlebags though, they're ugly as sin!

The movie is called 'One Week', so maybe it's about his first week with his new bike, and that's why he looks uncomfortable ;D ;D

It's called One Week because that's how long it'll be in theatres. Save yer money, don't go hoarding Norton stuff just yet. The star hasn't done anything of note, either. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005045/ No, Dawson's Creek doesn't count.
