Famous people on Honda CBs
« on: January 26, 2010, 08:40:55 AM »
so I've been searching around the internet for some pictures of famous musicans, actors, etc. on vintage Honda's. It would be cool to find some pics of them riding SOHC4s. anybody else find some?

heres a few pics of musicians on Honda twins, Mick on a CB350 and Fogerty on a CL350...

I've been looking for the picture of Roy Rogers on his Honda. My brother said it had front and rear crash bars and made him look like a sissy. The studio probably made him put them on. The actors were considered studio property back then.

Coogan's Bluff.  Good chase but I think they're riding Triumphs or something similar.

Also Magnum Force but those were Harleys.
They was moto guzzies not hardlys.  There is a fast shot of a 500/550 on the bridge.
