William Shatner may be a great actor, but as a motorcyclist he is an idiot:

Captain Kirk Crashes His Motorbike

16/04/08
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."

True, what Montana said, this happened a while ago. About a week ago, Shatner was a guest on Jay Leno and recounted the tale exactly as written here.

Regardless of when the bustup occurred, Shatner doesn't come off as the most stellar student of safe riding.

yes, but due to a worm hole in the time/space continuum, this event is still unfolding and won't be concluded until stardate 234.56.7865

I've got to go, Nurse Chapel needs to check my vitals.
 
Arizona hot for car auctions
By Jim Kernaghan, Special to Sun Media

Arizona has half a dozen big car auctions where visitors donÔÇÖt have to bid. They can admire the collector cars and just watch the prices go up and up.

(break)

There were some disappointments ... Canadian actor William Shatner's '95 Harley-Davidson sold for $30,000.

Old news. The man is recovering from hip surgery. This wreck was years ago.

OK flash forward to '08. Now how does ol shatner feel about ATGATT now after spending a few years picking the damn gravel out of his knees?

Is he now any smarter?
