Kid Rock
Kid Rock maintains a sweet collection of automobiles ranging from a Shelby Mustang to a beautiful Bugatti. The Kid also loves motorcycles, especially H-Ds. You can bet he has a few Hogs in his garage, so when Harley-Davidson presented a sponsorship, he was all in.
The ad campaign coordinated with Kid Rock’s 2013 “Rebel Soul” rock tour. In the deal, Kid even sold the American centenarian motorbike company a line from one of his songs: “I can’t hear you over the rumble of my freedom.”
Clint Eastwood
We saw Clint Eastwood riding the open road in several films. His personal favorites were the Norton and Triumph. Eastwood had a special place in his heart for his Norton Ranger.
In the 1968 "Coogan’s Bluff," the famous actor rode a Triumph Bonneville. Off-camera he was more of a casual motorcyclist.
Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling has a deep love of motorbikes, so he was more than happy to star in "The Place Beyond the Pines" as a carnival stuntman-turned-bank robber. The ex-carny applied his rip-roaring biking skills to make his escape with the loot.
Gosling performed all his own stunts virtually, only bowing out when the insurance company gave him the red light. As a kid, Gosling was fascinated with bikes. He told Jay Leno in 2011 that he became strangely enamored with motorcycles after witnessing one crash as he was walking to school.
Joshua Jackson
Joshua Jackson has a penchant for the open road. Between TV and film projects, he packs up his touring bike and hits the highway for weeks at a time. One of his personal bikes is a Triumph.
So, when he starred in "One Week," a story about a man who road trips across Canada on his Triumph for a week, it was the perfect role. In the Canadian film, Jackson plays a character who decides to live free his last week instead of cancer treatment.
Ewan McGregor
A-lister Ewen McGregor is a serious gearhead. His favorite bike is a custom Indian Larry designed by the famous motorcycle master himself before Larry was killed in a bike show stunt in 2004. The younger Obi-Wan Kenobi actor embarked on the perfect project when he and good buddy Charley Boorman teamed up to produce the British TV series "Long Way Round."
The documentary-like program follows bike enthusiasts as they travel from London to New York by hopping a flight in the far reaches of Asia to Alaska. They traveled a mountainous 22,345 miles.
