Legends on Classic Motorcycles

There was a time when the Classic Motorcycle, Triumph Bonneville had screen ledgends astride. Marlin Brando, Richard Gere, and Clint Easwood all rode ‘Bonneville's in their respective classic movies (no prizes for getting them right). James Dean as legend goes, gave away a Harley Davidson to Elvis, and was rumoured to have sat on a classic motorcycle called a Triumph Bonneville. Jame's personal Triumph motorcycle had "Deans Dillema" painted on the tank. (No, not a movie)

Brando’s motorcycle in fact was a Tiger T110 on which the classic Bonneville motorcycle was based. Brando also appeared in the movie, The Wild One.
I'll digress a little here on motorcycle makes as Harley Davidson also had a hand with "legends" on board. Easy Rider was a 1969 "trip" movie starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson. the movie was released in the year of Woodstock and the assinations of Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy. Also the election of a president called Nixon. Fonda, Hopper, and Nicholson, rode decorated chopped Harley Davidsons. (Nicholson spent most of his time as a pillion)

Arguably the most valued collectors item would be the "Triumph Bonneville Royal Wedding T140D" to celebrate Charles and Dianna's wedding in 1981. This model came with certification of authenticity and hearalded today as a true Classic Motorcycle.
