Kinda! from TMZ TMZ has learned Brad Pitt was involved in a minor motorcycle accident moments ago in Los Angeles. A witness at the scene tells us Pitt was trying to weave in between cars while at a red light -- but he lost control and fell off the bike. We're told he got up and moved the motorcycle to the side of the road then ran into an apartment building. Our witness says he waited for someone to come pick him up and now he's no longer at the scene. Pitt left his motorcycle behind. UPDATE..... We just spoke to someone who has seen video of the incident -- and we're told absolutely no one else was involved in the accident. We're told Brad tried to maneuver his bike between a parked car and a car stopped at a red light, and his handlebars clipped the parked car. We're told he lost control and fell over -- and everything is fine. Here is a video.. http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=4 a3a3d4f-2307-436b-b4c3-cd37d3fd7c82 | ||

What's up with his wild man look. Is he becoming a Joaquin Phoenix clone. | ||

This article says he was hit by a car with paparazzi: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/10/24/2009- 10-24_brad_pitt_hit_by_paparazzo_while_riding_moto rcycle_in_los_angeles.html | ||

What i find interesting is why did he run into an apartment, wait for someone to pick him up and leave the bike there? Under the Influence? | ||
| Xl1200r |
Probably didn't want to get hassled. If you were Brad Pitt, would you stick around? | ||
| Americanmadexb |
True, didn't think of that. | ||

I like his speed racer helmet, lol. | ||

Another reason bar end mirrors suck!  | ||

This article says he was hit by a car with paparazzi: That article actually says the opposite. "Previous reports that a paparazzo was involved turned out to not be true." | ||

"Another reason bar end mirrors suck!" ....or *mproperly-mounted* bar-ends. I lane-split for years in Kalifornia with my Napoleon Dynamite bar-ends with no such issues. Ferris- he's just sporting a chin-wig, not really a full-blown juoaquim wildman look. I can tell you, though, that he's presently, allegedly, working on a throwback B-movie '60s 'biker' (with an infamous jersey-born producer/director with whom he collaborates on a lot of stuff), which would explain the chinwig and retro helmet (according to some far-west friends of mine with whom he's spending time doing research). Think "The Losers" and you'l be warm. | ||

Next we'll probably hear him say that he did it on purpose to prepare for a movie. | ||

That bikes got a hellacious front tire. I'd love to see a profile shot. ~SM | ||

Thats a Zero Engineering Chop: http://hotbike.automotive.com/21889/0503-zero-engi neering/index.html Not a big fan of Brad, but he has alot of bikes and he actually purchased one from a friend of mine that used to build frames for Buell chops. | ||
| Swordsman |
Oooookay, now that I've seen it in profile, not a fan. Makes the rider look like he's bracing for "rear entry".  No wonder he dropped it... looks damn difficult to ride! ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on October 26, 2009) | ||

If i dropped my bike in traffic would tmz care? uummmmm no they wouldnt. so why do i care about him wrecking his bike. p.s. i absolutely HATE tmz and celebrity new.....who gives a hoot | ||
| Dentguy |
For they guy out there looking for his trailer tires that went missing. They are on Brad Pitts bike. | ||
| Spatten1 |
WTF is wrong with that bike. It needs either rearsets or apes. That is the dumbest seating position I've ever seen. | ||
| Drkside79 |
Wow that looks very uncomfortable. Maybe we should get him to invest in Buell. At least he wont look like hes riding a mid-evil torture device. | ||
| Americanmadexb |
If you watch the video i posted above, the camera guy kinda walks around it. I never saw any damage that showed it couldn't be ridden home! | ||
| Mmmi_grad |
I rode a Panhead for 23 years. That is one Pan that I think is a POS. That is a one dum ass designed i cant call it. | ||
| Boltrider |
Wrecked it splitting lanes? I think I would wreck it just trying to get on it. | ||
| Jwblue |
He ran off because that's the silliest looking bike you ever saw, and he felt silly because he dropped it. | ||

He ran off because that's the silliest looking bike you ever saw, and he felt silly because he dropped it. As much as I'd have helped him if I were there I think I would have echoed your sentiments to him about his ride. And whilst I appreciate and understand most radical rides have their place, that surely has to be the most out of place ride for that person. Or should that be the most out of place person for that ride. Either way whatever his message is in riding such a steed, it certainly isn't ice cool to me. Speaking not as an expert in such matters, just as an egotistical slave to hot rod motorcycle fashion myself that is  Rocket | ||

GAWD that thing looks like a pot hole away from a very NO ENTRY virginity compromising event | ||
| Jstfrfun |
That's probably the nastiest, clapped-togeather heap I've ever seen, and he could have a real nice bike if he wanted one. I take that back, there once was a posting of a chopped Buell that was worse...and it was hideous! Not just because it was a Buell chopper but because it was a disaster. | ||
| Sayitaintso |
Change the bars and its not too bad, for a chopper/bobber mashup. | ||
| X1zeke |
he must have had his wife sitting on it when he had to have it..lol | ||
| Kilroy |
Well it was made by a bunch called "Zero Engineering". .they are just speakin' the truth | ||

Designed to look really cool sitting in a parking lot or bike show. Not designed for riding at all. Brad has shown better taste in rides before http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/496 363/439424.html Probably just got this chopper for the movie. The guy is a tremendous actor, I imagine he's trying to "get into the part". Kinda bonehead move trying to lane split with that big thing. | ||
| Doz |
I dunno, I really like that sort of style. As for the riding position...what? are you guys really THAT old? Looks like a typical sport bike crouch with the legs stretched out. My softtail with forward controls and drag bars is also pretty much the same deal. | ||
| Rocketman |
It's wrong because it's built out of a sense of being different when all the stylish styles have been done. Just because it's different and it's rideable, doesn't make it right, or more correct, valid. It's a bit like tits on a bull. Rocket |
