Mickey Rourke in HD and the Marlboro man. He did a pretty good job. Don Johnson wasn't bad as the cowboy/biker either.

Nick Cage was horrible in Ghost Rider.


They say Leno in dishonorably mention, that guy probably rides more bikes then most of the list put together. I guess he just wouldn't fit the stereotype in the movies.

Nick Cage is a horrible actor. Period.

I did enjoy Ghost Rider though. Probably because I loved the comic book as a kid.

Sam Elliot is the better example of a real biker. Also he play the part of a great cowboy. There is a pattern in these comparisons. Biker,riding free. Cowboy, riding free.

How about Clint Eastwood in "The Gauntlet" when he takes the guys chop by force and he and Sandra Locke ride off on it. One of the best lines in the movie too:

Biker: " Hey, that's our chopper Charlie..."
Clint: " Well, this is my gun Clyde..."

...or something to that effect. No stuntman either.......Clint did the riding.
