    Not for real big celebrities. They're an image.

    If I was a celebrity (and I may be, for all you know) I'd welcome the chance to put on a helmet and be anonymous for a while. I wouldn't want everyone knowing about my bike, or they might blow my cover. (Or maybe I should just get rid of the personalised plate... FAMOS)
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    I'm a legend in my own lunchtime, and Finn is widely respected throughout the road racing world.

    I once saw Will Smith on American Chopper. Never seen anyone look so awkward on two wheels - including my 5 year old - but I guess riding one of those Orange County "specials" wouldn't be the easiest task.
    Why would anyone choose to drive a car!

    Depends on who you think are celebrities I suppose - I don't watch TV,read newspapers or magazines,what I get from the media is very select...I haven't got a clue who half the people mentioned here are ('cept for Big Dave,but he's,like...y'know,famous) I've got no problem with Ewan McGregor and Charlie...they showed dual sport bikes to the world,and if you think they moaned too much,then try it.The back up wasn't their idea,it just became necessary when they decided to film a ride thousands have done in obscurity.

    Micheal Schumacher and Kimi Raikonen ride bikes - Kimi rides dirt and Schumacher often turns up at a GP on a bike....he's even ridden an adventure bike over here.What about Billy Connolly riding a trike around the world....or don't the elite riders here think a trike is a bike?

    And for all the geeks and i-pod owners, Apple founder Steve Jobs used to turn up to board meetings in his bike gear.

    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
    Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
    Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
    In fact FU*K off and leave me alone

    No no no no... he was just pretending to be riding...
    He was sitting on a bike that was on a trailor and the scene behind him moved.

    He is famous for pretending... you know just like his singing...
