Brad Pitt’s Bike Breakdown
January 12, 2009
One of Brad Pitt’s high-end hogs just broke down today. Hollywood and Bronson, quite near the Brangelina compound in Los Feliz.
No one stopped to help the famous biker dude. They didn’t even get the chance. Brad’s security detail—in a vehicle that was trailing Brad all along—quickly snatched up the Benjamin Button star to bodyguard safety.
So much for riding free ‘n’ easy in the mean streets of L.A., like everybody seems to think the butch star does.
I’m so not surprised. Neither is a Brad camper:
“He’s not an idiot,” sassed a close bud to B.P., regarding Pitt’s regular decision to be tailed by guard-goon types. Guess I have to agree it all makes sense.
Just love though how deft Brad is at tweaking his famous devil-may-care public persona, making these on-the-street appearances look so much more daring than they really are. Wonder where he learned that kinda PR fine-tuning? Some vixen he met on Mr. and Mrs. Smith perhaps? Just a thought, nothing more.
Oh, and the errant bike was left with a Pitt employee for later salvation. Better make sure it’s guarded well, Mr. P, as your zealous fans just might wish to put your mufflers to mischievous use!

Wow. Meow. Typical celeb-reporting BS.
Hey John,
Lighten up. I thought it was funny. Sorry you lost your sense of humor. Riding with a bunch of bodyguards is ridiculous. It’s also funny. We don’t do celebrity oogling here. You must be new to The Beachcruiser. Well, gotta go check out the Enquirer.

Interesting! Typical Celeb. Too funny, and not so surprising Huh!?!
I like BP’s bike though!
Hey MM,
It’s good he didn’t hurt his face. Riding free and loose is what it’s all about for me. It doesn’t look like B.P. gets to do either. Life is short. I wish I had the clams to own a few cool bikes. I can think of several builders and types I would love to be able to purchase. Oh well, I got a home, the Train, a cat and no bodyguards. Life is good.

That’s a badass looking bike…does anyone have a clue to what it is or who built it?
Let Brad ride like others do…without the security detail to police his butt. Have my Geezer Glide, A Bad Ass Prostreet and a Bad Ass Chopper….Back In Black Bobber build coming this summer.

Ride Safe!
No idea, but doesn’t it look a little small for him?

Cool ass bike, what happens when Brad decides to crank it up and hit the twistys? Can the security keep up or does he have to continuosly slow down and wait. Perfect example of why money can’t buy happiness.
Hey Scott,
Agreed!! It’s about riding solo and free or with a bunch of friends. It looks like Brad doesn’t get it. He has all the goodies but none of the joy.

Oh, I’m plenty lightened. I’m sure Bradley would love to ride like the rest of us do, but between the fans and paparazzi, I doubt it’s possible. So between giving up riding and riding with a security detail, I’d take the latter choice. Of course, I’ll never be faced with that decision.
Hey John,
Me either.

new type of suspension:
bodyguard tail
;-)
the bike is a panhead, looks like it built by zero engineering
any idea what helment and shield that is ?
Like the wise quote: “Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.” (Arthur Schopenhauer) - I totally look forward to see your next article
