[754]

I tried to buy my younger brothers XL 350.. bet he had it 25 years..
 wouldnt sell..

 now his neighbor tried to buy it, he wouldnt sell..

So he lent it to his neighbor who does  movie work..

 Gonna be a stunt double for a Ducati..heh..heh

putting a brand new Duck tank on it, as Ducati would not let them jump the ones  (4)they supplied..

Had to be a Twinshock bike..

I think it will be on the X-Files..

 sorta cool, I thought..

I hope they get the sound effects correct. In one of the Terminator movies the kid is riding a Honda XL (not sure what size XL, but clearly a four stroke single) in a chase scene. The sound used for this four stroke single was obviously that of a two stroke single. It amazes me that millions are spent making these movies and yet they can screw up something that simple.

I heard this may be on Youtube. A poster by name Stefano posted something about it on a Ducati forum. Not sure of forum or Youtube name, but part of the username on the tube is Muzzy or Muzzi.

Anyway, they got it looking like a Duc, even fake framerails under the Duc tank!. Then they took it off either a bridge or overpass  , I think about 12 times or so till the front wheel packed it in. Then the stunt guy tried it with a newer Yamaha, and I heard he broke the frame..

 Apparently they did buy another XL350 as well. i think he is getting paid for them using his bike and huge suspension upgrades, plus he can say , it does 25 ft drops.. lol

Oh Hell yeah!!  Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea about this.  Looks like it won't be out until 2011, but it does have Jeff Bridges.   Trailer looks awesome!
