Many would argue that there's nothing that defines the meaning of 'cool' more so than riding a motorcycle on the open road, without a care in the world.
Indeed, for millions of people, two wheels is the preferred mode of travel, with practicality and a strong desire for adventure being key factors.
And of course, among those who enjoy the thrills of motorbikes are some of Hollywood's biggest A-listers. Here at TrackDays.co.uk, we're taking a dive into the world of some of the most recognisable names and their love for everything motorcycling.
There aren't many famous names that have more of an undeniable love for motorcycles than Keanu Reeves. Known for his roles in The Matrix and John Wick franchises, Reeves also spends his time on the day-to-day running of his own custom motorcycle company.
Arch Motorcycle was founded in 2011, the American company is now an industry leader in building custom bikes to suit any two-wheeled fanatic's needs.
Owning a wide range of motorcycles from many different eras, such as a 1974 BMW R75/6 or even the more modern Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, Reeves can often be seen riding on the public highways of Los Angeles, on a local track sharpening his race skills, or even on set filming his latest blockbuster.
Hollywood's biggest thrill seeker, Tom Cruise, is globally known for his death-defying movie stunts in planes, trains, and automobiles across all his massively successful box-office smashes. The Mission: Impossible star makes no secret of his large motorcycle collection and how he uses them to fulfil his constant urge for an adrenaline rush.
Known for performing exhilarating motorcycle stunts in many of his movies, Cruise's personal collection is something to admire. From old classics to modern prototypes, it's safe to say his range in movie roles matches the range in his bike collection.
If there's a motorcycle collection that matches the energetic and bubbly nature of its owner, then surely, its Hollywood megastar, Ryan Reynolds. Known for leaning more towards the vintage end of the two-wheeled spectrum, the Deadpool star owns many Triumphs and custom-made Hondas and Ducatis.
Regularly seen riding around the streets of Los Angeles, the Canadian actor is the epitome of cool. And even if he's not seen riding motorcycles on the big screen a lot compared to his highly esteemed peers, he's well known for having one of the best collections out there.
When we talk about a well-known motorcycle purist, a name that often comes to mind is Ewan McGregor. The Star Wars and Trainspotting actor has made travel documentaries crossing the width and breadth of the world on two wheels, as well as owning a wide array of vintage motorcycles and is often seen getting his hands dirty on his own collection.
One instance of his epic journeys was the popular Apple TV+ documentary Long Way Up, where Ewan and his close friend Charley Boorman travelled from Argentina to Los Angeles on Harley Davidsons. The thrill of the open road and adventure coupled with a petrolhead nature makes the bond between McGregor and his motorcycles an undeniable one.
