Elvis Presley
Along with being a key figure in Rock and Roll, the world’s most recognizable entertainer, an actor, and the man who put peanut butter and banana sandwiches on the map, Elvis was a huge gearhead, so naturally, he loved motorcycles and had a pretty impressive personal collection.
Here he is on the set of “Clambake” in 1976, riding a classic Harley Davidson. His preference was always for a Harley FLH touring bike, but he also dabbled in Triumphs, Hondas, and even 70s-era VW-powered trikes over the years.
Paul Simonon and Steve Jones
Paul Simonon of the Clash and Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols rode motorcycles together in 1987. They are both looking pretty hardcore in their Harleys and leather jackets.
Apparently, these two liked to take motorcycling trips together to the Mojave desert. How we wish we could join!
Josh Brolin
Despite being born to successful film actor James Brolin, Josh's childhood in provincial Templeton, California, kept him separated from the Hollywood experience. But by the time he was a teen, however, Brolin had begun his own acting career, and we now know him from his many leading roles, from "The Goonies" to "Guardians of the Galaxy," where he played Thanos.
Here we have a picture of Josh Brolin when he attended a motorcycle ride to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association in 1988.
Lenny Kravitz
A maestro in the style of Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz became one of the modern era's great rock stars on the power of his supreme talent, with a touch of vintage-yet-modern, new-Bohemian ethos.
Here we have lovely Lenny as he gets his picture taken on a motorcycle in 1996; he looks effortlessly chic; only Lenny can make orange look so good.
Elizabeth Taylor
With the debatable exception of Marilyn Monroe, no other actress from Hollywood's Golden Age had such a lasting hold on the people's imagination than the violet-eyed siren Elizabeth Taylor.
Did you know that style icon Elizabeth Taylor loved riding motorcycles and even owned a Harley? Here she attended a motorcycle rally in New Jersey back in 1987.
