Hello!  Looking to rent a motorcycle with sidecar to put in quick video scene.  Would need it no longer than one to two hours.  If anyone near Richmond, Virginia is willing, please let me know. We could even film the scene close to you, so you have eyes on your motorcycle and sidecar at all times.  Thank you! kimjoclark@gmail.com

@kimjoclark Thanks for reaching out.  I am not in the area but am Northeast Regional director for the USCA.  Not sure if we would have someone in your area that is interested but, in any event, would need more information in order for someone to consider this.  From a very high level first questions for me would be what type of scene, type of terrain, riding conditions?  What is the intended usage of the video clip?  Who is the rider and what level of experience do they have piloting a sidecar rig?  This is a very important one as handling a sidecar outfit is more complex than it might seem to someone who has not ridden one before.   And finally, if we do have someone that would consider this what are you looking at for timelines?  Feel free to email me direct if you prefer to have a discussion outside of the forum.  tomgerken53@gmail.com

@kimjoclark, I considered the same questions that Tom @tomjgerken asked, with one more important one:

Are you asking that the volunteered sidecar be operated in this video ? Meaning, specifically, are you looking at simply a static shot of the sidecar, parked, with either male or female model/actors hanging around it, or sitting on it, which means the sidecar rig will NOT be operated, not be in motion ?

Or, are you thinking that one of your staff/cast is actually going to be operating this sidecar rig...driving it down a road, or path, or in a scene ?

As Tom @tomjgergen mentioned, and needs to be clarified...the operation of a sidecar rig is vastly different than that of a 2 wheeled motorcycle, and the money that some of us have in these sidecar rigs is in the $ 20k to $ 75k range, so...whilst we would love to offer a sidecar rig for your video shoot, it needs to be clarified...will the sidecar be operated or not, and by whom ?
