When we talk about celebrities and their penchant for riding motorcycles, some names automatically come to mind. Think Brad Pitt, who spent a bomb on a WWII motorcycle, and owns plenty of other equally expensive motorcycles in his riding garage. Then there is Tom Cruise, and his bike-riding pal, David Beckham.

Then there is John Travolta, Norman Reedus, and even Charlie Hunnam who is spotted more on motorcycles than not, and even collectors like Kid Rock and Jay Leno.

But some celebrities aren’t terribly flashy about their rides and like to keep their love for motorcycles on the DL, mostly because they don’t want to be recognized while they show their appreciation for the open road on a ride that lets them be closer to themselves.

So here are some celebrities that you didn’t know loved riding their motorcycles, and why we love them for it!
