This is more a People Magazine type of thing, but what the heck, it's still about motorcycles . . .

And you thought WE had problems with regular drivers. At least they aren't usually after us personally.

I do feel sorry for Mr. Pitt, as it's bad enough that cagers try & kill riders every day, and he has to do deal with people who are obsessed over him specifically to boot because he's apparently good at his job - entertaining people.

Go figure . . .

That's such a cool bike

He's lucky - he isn't wearing a lot of gear. Nice bike , but did you see how flat shaped the rear tire was? I wonder how hard to turn.

Those kind of bikes aren't exactly built with cornering ability in mind.

There's a video now, no doubt taken by the very paparrazzi Pitt was trying to flee from but I'm sorry I have to say this really isn't anyone's fault but Brad Pitt's.

I'm sure there's still plenty of blame to be placed on the paparrazzi for their invasive and aggressive practices but looks like rider error to me... Judge for yourself

Ay carumba... That wasn't even a crash... That was a nice little drop!

Have to admit, I have had harder drops backing my bike up and missing my footing. Surprised that such a drop could make a bike unrideable. Makes you wonder about the quality of the build and if it even should be let on the road in the first place.

I've seen other pictures. Bike looks fine except the air filter cover was torn off and looks like the air filter was torn. It was probably ridable, just not worth sucking something in.
