So....... because they happen to act for a living they couldn't possibly know anything about bikes, nor have any real life experience about anything off the screen?

My vote for the "unmentioned" actor/biker is Dan Akroyd.

I kind of resent the dink who wrote the article when he trashes Henry Winkler. Something about looking bad on a chopper and being 5 foot 3 One I don't really remember the series much as I was vacationing in SE Asia during the last of the sixties/early 70's, but I think he had a brit bike. Two I am 5'4 or so and aged. Still put 8000 miles on my sporty and 2000 miles on the lowrider, never been told it looked out of place or funny. Wouldn't much care anyway. Haven't put them away for the winter yet, either

When I think actors/BIKES I always remember Eric Von Zipper (?) and the Rats in all those old beach movies. Funny stuff.
