It's Not Cake, But This Motorcycle Did Belong To Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood

Chances are excellent that if you know the name "Paul Hollywood," then it's because you (or someone you love) are into The Great British Baking Show. You don't even have to be British or live in the UK. In a world of cutthroat reality competitions (and real-world news cycles), the show has made a name for itself because of both its bakes and its kindness/camaraderie, essential qualities that set it far apart from the competition.

Hollywood (yes, that's his actual name), a master baker and UK celebrity chef, has been a judge on the show since the beginning. He's also been a motorcycle lover and rider for a long time; you might recall that not long ago, two of his rare Ducati Superleggeras went up for auction. Now, it's time for something a little different, and chances are good it also cost a good quantity of bread to buy when new.

This time around, it's the custom 2004 Big Dog Ridgeback chopper that Hollywood rode in a different limited series, called Paul Goes To Hollywood. Broadcast in four hour-long blocks, it chronicled Hollywood's road trip from New York to Los Angeles. There's food, very special guests including Brian Cox and Lisa Kudrow, and Hollywood (the person) geeking out about movies along the way.
