LC Motorcycle

Posted by Doc from spider-tr054.proxy.aol.com on June 11, 2000 at 13:06:26:

Over at Indygear.com, the sidecar motorcycle in Last Crusade is listed as a Mercedes. Since Mercedes-Benz never built any motorcycles, that's gotta be wrong. The official supplier of bikes to the German Army in 1938 was BMW. The only problem is, the bike in the film doesn't look like either of the bikes used by the Wehrmacht (the BMW R12 and R75) before or during the war. If there are any old bike enthusiasts out there who can shed some light on the mystery of the motorcycle, let me know!
