A combination of personality, determination, and sheer strength helped launch Arnold Schwarzenegger from the top of the bodybuilding world to Hollywood stardom and even to political power as the governor of California.
Back in 1995, Good ol’ Arnie joins a hoard of bikers on the back of their motorcycles as he participates in the Planet Hollywood Ride for Children fundraiser.
Dan Aykroyd
Dan Aykroyd once said in an interview, "My Harley-Davidson is a form of therapy. You get on that, and you don’t need a shrink. When you’re on the bike, all you’re doing is concentrating on staying alive. You get into the rhythm of the road, and it’s quite zen."
Here we see Dan going for a therapeutic ride in 1988 on his cruiser motorcycle. Is it just me, or do celebrities not like to wear helmets?
Sammy Davis Jr.
Sammy Davis Jr. is widely regarded as one of the greatest showmen of the 20th century; being the entertainment legend that he is, his career quite literally spanned a lifetime.
Here we have a photograph of Sammy Davis Jr. in 1970 as he arrives at an event in a snakeskin suit, with his old faithful right behind him.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
The Muscles from Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme, gave quite a show to the crowd when he burst onto the red carpet with his Harley-Davidson in 1994.
He quite literally embodied an action movie hero, so why not take his motorcycle for a ride down the red carpet?
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
In recent times, Forbes reported Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the highest-paid actor in the world, earning approximately $64.5 million in a single year. This is probably because he’s managed to dominate everything that he does. Seeing as he’s the face of almost everything else, why not be the face of triumph too?
Here he is on one of the most powerful motorbikes ever made. This Triumph Rocket III has the biggest production motorcycle engine ever made. Pretty appropriate, right?
