I am very saddened to announce that George Helm – one of our dealers and a legend in the motorcycle,  Royal Enfield, and Indian world – passed away yesterday at age 87.

Friday the Thirteenth

Mike Depalo of UK Motorsports (our dealer in Long Island) reports that there was at least one Royal Enfield used in the making of the new Friday the Thirteenth movie.

UPDATE: We found great photographic confirmation posted earlier on the SF Universe blog. The bike is a modified Hollywood prop bike and appears without distinctive markings, but the classic headlamp, big single, gearbox, fenders, and tail light give it away.
