Malcolm Smith. He was the man along with Roger Decoster and Joel Robert. I met Malcolm at his shop in Riverside a few years ago and he really is a neat guy.

No Sir! How can any of you overlook the Wild Hogs - John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, Tim Allen and the most important trendsetter of them all... William H. Lacy!

I know Phil Garner and his wife Carol. Both had Harleys and when he was the Astros manager they had a charity poker run that they always hosted and rode in. After the silent and live auction we'd have an escorted ride to Minute Maid Park. I rode Phil's bike back out of Minute Maid after this photo below.



Craig Biggio used to ride his bike to the Dome. After clinching the division in' 99 he went to parking lot and rode down the ramp onto the field for a couple victory laps.

No-one mentioned Jay Leno??? I'm not saying he's the most famous, but when I first read the thread title that's who I thought of first.
