While most know actor Ewan McGregor from Star Wars, along with 900 other awesome movies, my favorite on-screen example from the Scot's resume is by far the Long Way Round series. Comprised of a handful of documentary series detailing him and his best mate Charley Boorman's travels around the world, McGregor is to the motorcycling world as much as he is to those living in a galaxy far, far away.
And if you ever get a chance to talk to the actor, which RideApart did a few months back, he's exactly the type of motorcyclist you'd want him to be. Jovial, absolutely unafraid to give you shit, and like you've known him for ages. If I still drank, I'd have a beer with him in an instant.
But that, unfortunately, isn't likely in the cards any time soon. The next best thing, then, would be to own one of the actor's old motorcycles. And wouldn't you know, that's exactly what you can do right now, as not just one, but two of McGregor's old bikes are coming up for sale, with you getting the chance to own them both. I wonder if Utah would let me have an OBIWAN moto plate?
