But 'sThe Trouser Snake's isn'st the only LA celebrity to rev up a media storm, Ocean'ss Eleven stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney are both well known for their love of two wheels. George'ss favourite brand of bike is Harley Davidson and Brad has an extensive collection of very expensive motorbikes, many of which are customised, purchased from a little known company called Confederate.
Motorbikes have been a staple in Hollywood for many years and some of the greatest moments on silver screen feature two wheels. A survey of 1,000 customers by Swinton bikes, one of the
UK'ss leading providers of motorbike insurance (http://www.swinton.co.uk/motor/motorcycle/), has revealed the nation'ss favourite
motorbike movie moments:
1. The Great Escape, Steve McQueen escaping on a Triumph TT Special 650cc (modified)
2. Terminator 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger on a Harley Davidson Fatboy
3. Top Gun, Tom Cruise riding a Kawasaki GPZ 900R
4. Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie on a Yamaha TRX850 (modified)
5. The Matrix Reloaded, Keanu Reaves riding a Ducati 996
Anthony Aronin, Head of Swinton Bike Insurance said: Motorbike enthusiasts are both loyal and committed; however, we often see spikes of enquiries from potential new bikers. These can
often be attributed to films that feature spectacular bike scenes or top celebrities taking to the streets on their sporty new motorcycles.
Justin Timberlake is just one of a long line of celebrities to realise the fun and freedom that comes with riding a motorbike.
