Scotland's Glasgow Herald reports that Ewan McGregor - he of 'Long Way Round' fame and 'veteran' of fifty plus film roles - is selling one of the bikes from his collection at a Bonham's auction in Las Vegas on January 26th. Hurry and you might just get a flight.
Looking at pictures of his collection online, he has very eclectic taste in bikes, from cafe racers to Sunbeam. And he's now the face of Moto Guzzi, having had a long association with BMW for his two big road trips with Charlie Boorman.
McGregor's Sunbeam
The bike that's going under the hammer, so to speak, is a 2010 Indian Larry Panhead Chopper. The bike was built by Indian Larry Desmedt, a famed chopper builder located in Brooklyn NYC. It carries a Harley Panhead Pandemonium engine in what is said to be a sparse bare metal frame and cycle parts. It caught McGregor's eye when he visited the shop in 2012.
