Royal Enfield featured in horror film now for sale

Motorcycle movie star now for sale.
Here's your chance to own the Royal Enfield motorcycle that "starred" in a movie I personally didn't have the courage to see.

Before the excitement about a Royal Enfield and sidecar appearing in the recent Harry Potter movie, a Royal Enfield played a role in the movie Friday the 13th.

Now a 1996 Royal Enfield is for sale on CraigsList in Pflugerville, Texas with the claim that it is the very motorcycle that carried movie star Jared Padalecki into mortal danger in that film.

It has less than 100 miles on the odometer but looks much older, thanks to its movie makeup. The seller says the motorcycle runs and shifts well and comes with extra parts. He will sell it for $2,250 or trade for British bike, running or not.

Filming of the movie "Friday the 13th."
The photo here of Padalecki on the Royal Enfield is by April and Jason Oldag and was originally posted on the SFUniverse.com blog. I saw it on the Royal Enfield Buzz Blog.

In the movie, Padalecki plays Clay Miller, a character who goes to the doomed Camp Crystal Lake in search of his sister who has gone missing.

The 2009 movie gets a rating of only 5.5 out of 10 on imdb.com

Here's the trailer for Friday the 13th. Yes, you do see the motorcycle in it.
