Captain Kirk Crashes His Motorbike
‘Oh no Jim, it’s a motorcycle! The engine cannee take it!’
WILLIAM Shatner, Star Trek's James T Kirk has lumped his motorcycle while not wearing a helmet on a Californian highway.
The reckless former Star Trek star is famous for not bothering with leather or body armour and rides around the state wearing just beach clothes. But took a few scrapes after toppling off his Harley-Davidson.
He said:"I think leather, and helmets and protective gear is foolish, in the hot California weather. I ride with sandals and shorts and a t-shirt. I was driving along and the bike slid from under me, and I skidded across the two lane highway.
"I grabbed the bike hauled it up and got back on. I had to get to Los
Angeles. I had a doll to take to my grandchild. I got back on the bike and my clothes are shredded, then I realised I was bleeding."
Unfortunately for Shatner, the image of him bloody and bruised riding a
motorcycle almost naked, attracted unwanted attention from other motorists. He added: "People are driving up and college kids are yelling at me. Finally they uttered the ultimate insult, 'Beam me up Scotty,' so I gave them the bloody finger."
