All very true. Guy Martin the Aisle of Mann TT racer had a chance to ride the Great Escape Triumph and it was a cool moment. On Micheal Parks he may not have been a motocross and Baja racer but he did more for Harley Davidson Sportster sales for years after the show was done.

Triumph was the coolest of the cool British motorcycles in the old days. Personal bike of choice for so many iconic movie stars who were tough guys in real life. Not just a prop to be photographed sitting on.
You got all the obvious ones that everyone knew about like McQueen, Gable, Reeves, Cruise, but with a few surprises like Shatner, and others. Good video.
When Buddy Holly signed his first record deal, he went back to Texas to buy a Harley. The dealer didn't believe he had the cash, so he went down the street and bought a Triumph.

@@guardianobserver6593 Elvis was well know to be a rider, starting in his teens long before he became famous. In later life he probably didn't ride so much though. He liked cars too, and definitely drove them himself. I'm not an Elvis fan-boy, but apparently he really was a cool guy before the fame and drugs got him.
I love this, big thanks for sharing. Some wonderful memories of times and those now gone. Was expecting a shot or two of the bad ass and beautiful lady Ann-Margret Olsson, I believe she actually rode at some point, and not just for Hollywood promotional stuff. Wonderful content, worthy of more than a few screen shots!! Cheers.
Ann Margaret rode every type of motorcycle. She has riden since the sixties, owned several choppers. There are some great shots of her riding her Triumph chopper in the desert. Just Google Ann Margaret choppers.
@@frankmarkovcijr5459In fact it looked a strange "Harley" to me too. Husqvarna much better fits the bill. The villains in same film also rode Huskys. Thanks for the clarification.
James (I think) Finnlayson (forgive me if misspelt) was in many Laurel and Hardy reels, the actor with the hard one eyed stare, was a board track racer.
Another fun fact: Chuck Norris' motorcycle did not use gasoline. It would run even when the tank was empty because it was scared of getting its ass kicked if it didn't work when he wanted it to.

Wow, Bruce Lee could ride without even touching the pegs… knew he was rider when he was older tho (fun photo anyways)…Jason Robards’ facial expression really showed he was enjoying his ride.
The white chopper that Muhammad Ali is astride is, I guess, one of Sugar Bear's motorcycles. Sugar Bear was one the pioneers of the chopper style and even though he was very talented he had to fight against racial prejudice to put his name on motorcycle history. That's an inconic photograph in every sense for the American bikers and specially for the Afro American biker comunity and even, if we transcend it's local meaning, for mankind. Ali and Bear (represented by his bike) united; two men that fought to make a world a better place, a place on which every person, black, white or whatever, could have access to the same opportunities. Peace and respect from Brazil. ✌
Tripp, mate, some of these are just "Promo Shots" & in movies, some of them didn't ride, but they all looked cool just the same, even Elvis on a Honda(I'm pretty sure all America had a WTF moment with that). You should look up a guy named "George Formby" if you want a true dyed in the wool motorcycling "BadAss", he's an odd looking fella in the 30s & on he was a British movie Star & Isle of Man TT racer, this guy was f#ckin unbelievable. Thanks.
The Elvis Honda is in the film Roustabout I think; he does get abuse in the film for riding a foreign bike, then crashes it while showing off to a girl. The film made a huge impression on me as a young boy, and I have owned an awful lot of Hondas 🙂
Very cool, but how about Alanis Morissette, Angelina Jolie, Cher, Miley Cyrus, Michelle Rodriguez, Katee Sackhoff, or Pink . . . and, if it’s more of a iconic photo op then a passion, Janis Joplin has to be The One.
If you want genuine badass, it would have to be Randall "Tex" Cobb or William O. Smith. Those guys were genuine bikers who became actors, and were real life animals who could probably eat anyone on this video alive. Let them fight it out, and whoever survived, would be the winner. If they killed each other, give it to Peewee Herman. Peewee defeated a whole biker bar just by dancing to "Tequila" before riding a Harley about 100' through a billboard and falling over.
@@beepbop6697 If that’s the case then here for those people that were in those pictures didn’t know how to ride. And here’s another one that’s going to pop your bubble Marlon Brando and Clark Gable were gay just found that out this week
Description said badass and actually rode. Cut half the list easily. Chodes posing on bikes are not badasses who rode. Newman, McQueen, reeves, and McGregor for sure. Competitive racing and round the world trips=badass. Being able to work the clutch and gas long enough to ride around the block and pull up for photos=chode.

True indeed.
I had no idea that Evel Knievel rode motorcycles.
He rode a little bit but mostly he flew motorcycles.
@@JohnDoe-lc9yj I saw an interview with his son Robbie. He said when he was a kid, his dad sat him on the handle bars and did wheelies at 90 MPH.
Yes he rode motorcycles but he was only on the bike 50% of the time.

You are very correct sir!
Chuck Norris did not in fact ride a motorcycle. Chuck Norris sat atop a motorcycle while the earth rotated under him in the direction he wanted.
Another fun fact: Chuck Norris' motorcycle did not use gasoline. It would run even when the tank was empty because it was scared of getting its ass kicked if it didn't work when he wanted it to.
Huh! Snoopy on a motorcycle. And I thought his only transportation was the Sopwith Camel.
The REAL bad ass on the list was Lee Marvin. He fought at Iwo Jima with the US Marines in WWII.
Agree 100%!
He was awarded the Purple Heart for a wound he received (in the buttocks severing his sciatic nerve) at Battle of Saipan.

Snoopy is a bad, bad man. 🙂

BSA's too. Surprised.
I got a T100 3 years ago, it's an Old man magnet, I've had this conversation 50 times "What year is that? I had one of those in the 60s"
Fantastic, So glad that so many film stars rode motorcycles, I bet all of the anti-motorcycle brigade would be surprised !
