I have ridden my bike up onto the stage many times...
My bike and I were also on TV many times...
Also appeared in a show as well.

Does that make me a celeb bike rider....... NAH...
I am a rider who just loves to ride my bike, who has had the opportunity to ride up on a stage and in shows.

BTW you lads all forgot Angeline Jolie also loves to ride bikes.
She rode in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'

Cher rides. But if you saw what she looked like when riding that Harley of hers it would make you give up riding for good; just to avoid being associeted with her. Watched one of the E celeb programes the ones that sneak up on the stars. They'ad parked out in front of Chers house, correction mansion and out she comes with the nazi helmut and the full tuff guy biker regalia all done up in fashionn statement. Bling from head to foot and tassles on the handlw bars etc. Then she had the gall to go and tell the camera crew to 'fuckoff.' The woman was dressed as look at me. I'm cool. Just another reason why I wont ride a Harley. Tamiki and Banks are another.

Oh Dear God, you are either very misguided or just a hell of a funny guy! Benefit of the doubt given... I laughed first.

Sonny and Cher had a white Sportster back in the '60's,so she's been around bikes a lot longer than many members of this site....don't think she was riding back then - Sonny was the man,man.

We we all remember Mr Fonda - surely the ultimate!

Plus Mr Hooper and the Grisley Adams dude...

Of course Dylan nearly died on a bike (Triumph) but he bought a HD Bobber later on.. Pretty cool...
