Brad Pitt breaks down in LA (again)

Ducati-engined special leaves Hollywood star stranded at roadside

HOLLYWOOD STAR Brad Pitt has been left in the 'Brad Pitt' again, after one of his custom-built vintage motorcycles broke down while the actor was out-and-about in LA.

The machine at the centre of Pitt's woes is a Ducati-engined cafe racer, concocted by noted special builder Shinya Kimura.

Reports in the American media say Pitt was rescued by one of his entourage and promptly whisked away in a black SUV.

Pitt suffered a similar problem in January 2009 when his Harley-engined special broke down, leaving the actor stranded at the roadside.
