Stumbled across this site at an ungodly hour as you do. A few interesting names creep up here.

I had no idea that T.E Lawrence (of Arabia) was an avid motorcyclist, sadly being killed on one.

Didn't even know Clooney rode, let alone that he broke some ribs and had a brain injury in 07.

The most random's gotta be King Hussein of Jordan going on a secret ride suited up as a bike cop touring the streets of Amman - not bad being royalty.

Prince William turned up at a polo match last year on a black Ducati 1198s complete with Union Flag customised paint job.

Brad Pitt and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters both ride, and look great doing it.

In cricket Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff rides a Harley, and Graeme Swann has a full licence but his contract with the England Cricket team doesn't allow him to ride at the moment (Tottenham goalkeepers take note).

Darren Gough is currently training for his full licence and the England Cricket Head Coach Andy Flower owns an SV650 sport K8 which he hardly ever gets time to ride any more.

Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman are apparently keen on two-wheeled things...

Hugh Laurie (Dr House) was seen by a friend at Poole Quay a few times on a Honda Pan European. I've bumped into Roger Daltry in a Nth London bike shop (Colin Collins) when I was a sales rep for a helmet firm. The young lass who plays Sarah Platt in Corrie and her bloke both ride together (her on pillion), cos my old firm gave them both new lids FOC. There are a few others I've forgotten about

Damon Hill was a London courier for a while, Denholm Elliot used Powerhouse Kawasaki in Kentish Town and last I remember he had a Z550, I think Ewan McGregor lived in Primrose Hill before making any big films, anyway he had a Guzzi.

IIRC he used to race bikes before he moved onto cars.
