Bedknobs and Broomsticks Motorcycle Trivia Question!
« on: December 08, 2008, 07:57:14 PM »
Angela Lansbury rides a motorcycle w/ a sidecar... referred to as a sulfurous motorcycle.   ???

I haven't seen it but elizabeth and I were discussing Urals and bla,bla,bla... it comes to Bedknobs and Broomsticks!







p.s... more importantly, was it a Ural?

I could only get a very bad picture from a small movie poster.
From what I could make out -especially with the tub on the left- it's probably a vintage Brit bike.  Looks like a girder front end.  Sidecar body all wrong.

look at the right side engine cover... it is horizontally oblong
engine definitely looks like a parallel twin (i prefer inline twin  ;) )
bike is OLD, most likely pre WWII
tank and headlight are also quite distinguishable.

I have lots of good quality screen captures. I tried to pick the ones with the most detail.









Unfortunately, there's no good side shot during the movie.
