Of course, there are too many cool ones to name in one post, so here are a today's notables. 
Several more screenshots at my Flickr account.
 
 


 THX1138: I'm glad to see that in the future police droids are riding custom Triumphs with Avon fairings:

  1. Did it bother anyone else that the HD in Indiana Jones and the Crystal skull had an evo engine? That was supposed to be a little after the Nazi era right? Anyone? sheesh...

  2. The Harley was wrong for period of the movie. It was in fact a 2007 Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic semi-customized to reflect the movie's 1957 period setting, but not only was the engine wrong, so were the front disc brakes that stood out like a sore thumb. And the bike itself dwarfed LeBeouf making him look even more like a child. If they were going for the Brando or "Wild One" look, they should have used a Triumph which would have been more accurate and proportionate to the rider. But then, it was all about product placement and George Lucas & Harley wanted the spot.
