Only baddies ride cruisers

Have you noticed in movies it is usually the bad guys who ride cruisers, hogs, choppers, etc? And the good guy in biking movies always rides a nice shiny sprotsbike.

Can you think of any good charactered cruiser riders in film or TV? The dudes from Easy rider I guess, but even those guys were no good dirty liberal drug-taking lefties.
Reno Raines, from that generic bounty-hunting programme, but that show sucked and he was a wuss.
I can't think of even one.

It all started with The Wild One - Marlon Brando rode a Triumph,Lee Marvin rode a Harley....the die was set,and it's been the same ever since.

I thought that, then I thought that maybe "character" was pushing it a bit. Animate scenery, props perhaps.

He needs your boods, your cloes and your modorzykle. Mine wouldn't fit him.

Pulp Fiction. The chopper changed sides, from Zed to Bruce Willis' character.
Willis girlfriend - Who's motorcycle?
Willis - It's a chopper baby, not a motorcycle.
WG - Who's is it?
W - Zeds
WG - Who's Zed
W - Zeds dead.

How about the Aussie film (I have no idea what it was called) from the 70's, the baddies rode Z1's and the goody rode a Commando 750 wearing white leathers

.
It was truly nasty, he looked like the Lone Ranger...actually he looked a bit like Owen Wilson if you can imagine that.
