A few weeks ago we were scouting a location for our "New York loft" in downtown LA. We found this killer space for our big set. When we arrived to do a final walkthrough there was a brand new, straight out of the package H-D Nightster sitting outside on the sidewalk. Our designer thought it would be the perfect "prop" for our big set. Turns out the guy lives in the building and has no problems with us using his bike.
The freight elevator was too small for the bike to fit with the front wheel on, so our guys took it off. Next, according to union rules, you cannot have anything combustible on set - ok, drain the gas. No problem. Oh, drain the brake lines? No problem. Disconnect the battery? Simple.
My crew can tear anything apart but good luck on trying to get them to put it back together! My first thought: the metro-sexual owner of the Nightster is never going to get his bike back together! I better not get a bill from LA Harley for a reassembly fee. We just kinda gave the bike back to him in pieces with a "check'ya later!"
