Cool Celebrities and Harleys

My wife asked me last night if any celebs ride a Harley...

I couldn't care less, but didn't have a good answer. Anybody know of any (and what they ride)?

And the list goes on and on and on... Just watch "Cribs" on either MTV or CMT. Almost every single person they show on there has at least one Harley. Don't know how many of them actually ride, but most all of them own one or two.

the horrible thing about that show is, however, that many celebrities actually rent collector's cars, art, motorcycles and even furniture just to look cooler and richer on TV.
