What celebs are bikers and what type of bikes do they own?

I didn't know Carl Cox was into his bikes, he's got a fireblade 1000, hornet and few others. He's a big bloke as well.

Tom Cruise is into his bikes. He rides them in a few movies and had a desmo. So did Michael Jordan.

I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise but the bikes he rides in his films are really cool. That GPZ1100 in topgun and the Speed triple in Mission Impossible 2.

George Clooney was in the papers because he was out on a cruiser bike with some girl on the back. Whether or not he's actually into his bikes or just wants to look younger and cool is up for debate though. Also, it wasn't me that bought that paper. It was the rubbish that the people in work leave in the staffroom.

Prince Harry...or William owns a Black 675.

It's probably quite nice for major celebs to be out on a bike with a full face lid, pretty much annonymous.

Of course, this only applies for the ones who aren't so useless they are desperate to be seen anywhere doing anything.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I think jay-recoil is fine making such a thread.
Celebrity isn't a subject that interests me, but it is more interesting than "ZOMG VALENTINO ROSSI HAS A NEW SET OF GLOVES".

Besides, it's hard trying to come up with a thread in general bike chat that doesn't have half the members rolling their eyes and thinking "Oh gosh, not this again." At least he didn't make a thread about which celebrities give "the nod" to other celebrity bikers.
