The fact that it is $40k and festooned with longhorn dribble pretty much narrows it down to rich longhorn fans who are still young enough to ride a motorcycle and not mind the poor dynamics of a hardtail.  I'll bet that's a pretty small group of folks.  As Sponge Bob Squarepants would say...  "Good luck with that!"   ;D

He's an actor. A pretty good one (I think), too.

Damn, only movie of his I've ever seen is "How to lose a guy in 10 days", which was absolutely horrible.

Why isn't Matt riding that bike?  It was built for him wasn't it?  He certainly has $40K to spend.

It might be just too punishing/fatiguing to ride?

He might have an insurance clause that prevents him riding motorcycles.  His profession relies on his appearance, and ability to perform.

Donating his name to the MC sale gives him a tax write off?

I'd quit my job if it didn't allow me to ride a bike.

i think he funded the bike so that it could be auctioned for charity.

i don't think "how to lose a guy in 10 days" is really a great example of his work... try "a time to kill"

i hate the longhorns too and i think the bike looks dumb... i sure hope you wanted my opinion   ;) :D ;D

I think listing the bike under the "sport bike" tab is a real stretch!  Maybe if they include skeet shooting at it as a sport then maybe...   ::) ::) ::) ::)
