Motorbiking isn't just the preserve of the great unwashed. Just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean you can't own and ride one (unless its in their contract) and many do, revelling in the freedom that we all know two wheels can offer. Others however wear their bikes like a fashion statement, others do it just for the publicity - their own or someone elses.

There are many other notable celebrities who ride, for example Micky Rouke. As I locate their pictures they will be added to this list

Bad mouth Bad Ass Added 21-05-03

Arnie - The only man who can make a Harley look petit!!! Added 21-05-03

Bruce Willis - Pulp Fiction

Pretty boy actor turned action superstar, seen here in Mission Impossible

Haven't captured one of Russell Crowe yet, but here is the escort cavalcade for his wedding

Late drummer of rock legends Led Zepplin - John Bonham

Cult teen movie of the '80s The Lost Boys starring Kiefer Sutherland

Bobbie Phillips star of the short lived series Chameleon, and one time quest star in the other short lived series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven

Seminal UK Goth pair from Sisters of Mercy

Elvis was, perhaps, one of the few celebrities who didn't use bikes simply as a fashion statement

Clint Eastwood seen here with Ingrid Pitt on the set of Kellys Heroes

Warren Beatty: always thought of as a little unruly, the star of Bonnie and Clyde is seen here astride his Triumph

Steve Mcqueen: Used his driving and riding skills to good advantage in many of his films. Following his death in 1980 McQueens extensive collection of bikes and cars was split up, unfortunately I have no information as to there current whereabouts.

Alan Ladd, big on the star factor but small of stature. You know what they say about small men and their vehicles!!

Marlon Brando: The original Wild One, emulated by many but never bettered.

Elizabeth Taylor!! You just know this has got to be a joke, or at best a publicity stunt.

Terence Trent D'Arby: Had a couple of hit singles, then upset the record buying public at an award ceremony with a speech that sound just a tad ungrateful. Silly sod...

Michael Hutchence: Hey I'm saying nowt, nada, zilch. But some folk give bikers a bad na... No, no, no... Nice bike huh.

Billy Idol one time Xer for the X generation.

Steve Jones: Rebelrouser of the late 70's early 80's when still with some band called the Sex Pistols; can't say I've heard of them myself, but there ya go. Here he is on his Harley FLH

The Crickets collecting their new wheels from a local dealer, Buddy Holly is to the right. Seems the dealers have modernized their appearance since the fifties even if the bikes haven't...oops

Clark Gable, Ward Bond and Victor Fleming: Every general throws up a rebelrouser, and Gable in his time was as good at it as any of today's stars

Sylvestor Stallone, or Sly to his friends on his store bought Harley Hog, supposedly on the streets of LA.

James Dean, like Elvis was renowned for his passion for speed. A passion, which if the reports are correct killed him. Here he is seen on his very first motorcycle, a Czech Whizzer.

Robert Fripp: Energetic front man for 60's/70's rock band King Crimson, and latterly Eno collaborator. Seen here with his Triumph

Like Elvis Eric Burdon is a life long biker who doesn't see his bike as a fashion statement

Gene Tierney: Yes, I know that's waht I said... but apparently she was the star of such films as Sundown, Thunder Birds and The Egyptian... okay so I have't heard of them either. D'ya really think she rode in that get up, or is all just another publicity stunt? Check her out in Heaven Can Wait and The Razor's Edge.

Robert Taylor (left), a man you know but whose films you cannot name. Preston Foster (right), a man you don't know but whose films you do (Annie Oakley, Geronimo and The Time Tavellers).

Van Johnson (left) can be found in such celuloid fodder as The Cain Mutiny, Brigadoon and the Purple Rose of Chiro. While Keenan Wynn appeared in Annie Get Your Gun, Kiss Me Kate and Herbie Rides Again!! Real BIG stars then.

John Payne was the star of musicals and westerns throughout the 40's and 50's, for example Mirical on 34th Street. While on television he starred in The Restless Gun.

Roy Rogers is perhaps better known for a different type of saddle.

The famous voice of Thomas the Tank Engine the classic childrens show. I'm reliably informed he used to be a drummer with some small outfit, but I don't think they did much. Barbara Bach did a few things too.

Mark Dacascos star of the short live The Crow: Stairway to Hevan TV series, and numerous modern day martial arts films. Check out Crying Freeman and Drive.

Brandon Lee celebrity star son of Bruce Lee, whose own film career ended in marcbe parody of his father's.

Hey its got two wheels ain't it...I draw the line at scooters...and unlike some the ladies above Ann Margaret did ride it, as did the geezer behind her...however did he live it down?

David Bowie, who woulda believed it. I for one don't, basically because the man never learned to drive.

Keanu Reeves, star of many movies but not many to credit him with. In my opinion the best of the buch are Speed and The Matrix.

Cozy Powell one time drummer with just about anybody, he ain't choosey, you've only gotta look at his choice of bike to work that one out.

Stephen King, the worlds biggest novelist with perhaps the one of the worlds biggest bikes.

John Gordon-Sinclair, rose to fame on the back of Gregory's Girl (one of the best coming of age films ever made), but did little until he found the small screen.

David Lee Roth became an overnight sensation with Van Halen, and while the band went on.....

Charlie Sheen son of Martin, brother to...you ever tried counting this lot. Seen here following the instruction 'on your bike' when he refused a condom.

Mark Knopfler lived along the road to us, local boy made good, music wasn't bad either, but seeing this...

Sam Elliot star of some distinctly iffy films, and Cher...well what is there to say so many face lifts she has to shave!!

Batman and Robin aka Adam West and Burt Ward, oooh those men in tights. Thanks to Scott May and Andy Garringer for the photo.

Batgirl had a much better costume, although the parasol on wheels leaves a lot to be desired.

Honor Blackman and Patrick McNee early stars of the classic TV show the Avengers. Didn't you just know there was a reason for the black leather she wore.

Wesley Snipes, showing off his tools

King Abdullah of Jordan, yep a real live King.

Nigel Havers! You mean you haven't heard of him? You need to watch more tele...

Christian Slater, another of the Hollywood BAD boys

Jay Leno, popular chat show host

Peter Fonda and Dennis Hooper, every list has just got to have at least one pic from Easy Rider

Sheryl Crowe, apparently rides for real

Micky Rouke, another Hollywood wild men

Pamela Lee Anderson, may not ride (my supposition) but don't she look good!

Okay which sad bastard recogises Richard Throp from the UK soap Emmerdale?

Was this just a prop or did she really ride it? Publicity still from the now dead Dark Angel TV series
