She Rides Her Own, Thanks: Angelina Jolie

by Stacy on November 16, 2009

Oh Angelina, can you get any sexier?

Secret agents choose the Triumph Street Triple R.

The photo was taken on set of her new film Salt. Word on the street says Ms. Jolie specifically asked for the Street Triple R. She clearly has impeccable taste. (Know anyone else with impeccable taste?)

She’s also no stranger to riding motorbikes on film. Here’s a scene from Tomb Raider II:

Globetrotting treasure hunters should always color-coordinate.

And another from the first Tomb Raider film:

I wish I could look this good stunting a bike and shooting a submachine gun while wearing my PJs.

And, for the guys out there drooling over the bikes and nothing else, the gold supermoto is a heavily customized Suzuki DR650, while the black naked bike is a Yamaha 850 TRX. Clearly, Ms. Jolie prefers naked bikes. Who could blame her?

I think Jen A > Angelina. But thats me. Both her and Brad have good taste in bikes. Ducati, MV Augsta Brutale. Oh to be rich..

She rode on the back of a KLR in Hackers, too.

she looks right at home on the Triumph, even covering the levers while in traffic. Nice!

@John G: I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and guess that she just happened to stumble upon the bike while running from her pursuers. Then, she pulled out her switchblade and carved her name into the seat. (Ok, ok, that last part is a really obscure joke.)

@Mike: Everyone, all together now! “If I were a rich man…”

@James NomadRip: I thought I might have missed one.

@Hawktane: Good eye!

I have to say that last photo is so totally faked that it made me laugh! I appreciate the pix of her riding, though. Wonder if she takes time to ride in her every day life?

I have to wonder what kind of hefty insurance policy the studios make Brangelina carry because of their 2 wheeled addiction.

Saw the preview for Salt the other day, and for the brief moment they showed her on the bike in chase scene, it reminded me of Carrie Anne Moss fake riding the 999 in the Matrix.

I think it’s cool. There’s nothing more annoying that being able to tell the actor didn’t even put in the time to learn the skill.

Thanks for the pics of AJ on her bikes! Pretty cool! That Triumph is a very nice bike!

The Street Triple is a very nice bike. I liked it a lot. Not as nice as a Vespa but probably a better choice for a spy….

She does look pretty nice on that bike.
