Keanu Reeves' motorcycle Life Lessons
He may be quietly famous and ride under the radar as a celebrity who loves his motorcycles, but Keanu Reeves recently revealed two life lessons.
Admittedly, many consider what the everyday rider can learn from the more famous celebrity bikers a very short list. But while appearing on a British talk show over the weekend Reeves related a motorcycle mishap that has something for everyone.
The famous actor was being interviewed on 'The Graham Norton Show' Saturday night when he told about a time a car pulled in front of Reeves. Heading towards an indecisive driver the actor tried to decide whether he should drop the bike, jump off or go over the car.
“And by the time I figured that all out, I took the bumper off the car,” Reeves explained the show’s hosts, “and I ended up sitting on the ground with that bike lying over there and my tooth was cut in half.”
Lying on the ground, Reeves had a moth full of blood and the skin on his shin was hanging off, being cut down to the bone.
While the actor was taking in what had happened and prodding the exposed bone out of curiosity a bystander asked if he was okay. Soon, the same bystander asked a paramedic attending the scene if the fallen biker was Keanu Reeves and walked up the injured actor and asked for an autograph.
The star-studded life lessons for everyday riders are; motorcycles never win in an argument with a car, even if they are right and people will do the strangest things without thinking.
The actor has reportably been in numerous motorcycle accidents, losing a spleen after one in 1998. His favorite rides are a Moto Guzzi and a 1974 Norton Commando with the actor using motorcycles as his only form of transportation until studio executives convinced him to buy a car (he decided on a Porsche Carrera 4).
Reeves ideal ride is down windy roads at night with his headlights off, something he refers to as a ‘demon ride’. We’re sure this has nothing to do with the number of reported accidents.
