Hollywood beauty, Angelina Jolie, has been voted the bikers all-time dream pillion passenger, a survey revealed today. Jolie topped the poll for the MCN London Motorcycle Show ’07, which included fellow stunners Milla Jovovich and Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson. Boyfriend, Brad Pitt, whom the ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ star is often seen riding pillion with, came in ninth spot behind ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Long Way Round’ actor, Ewan McGregor.
Now an accomplished biker, Jolie first learnt to ride on the set for ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’ so that she could do her own stunts. She now owns a BMW F650GS and a stunning £10,500 MV Agusta Brutale. Jolie scooped a quarter of the votes, managing to hold-off seven-times MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi and glamour girl favourite Keeley Hazell.
Legendary 70s motorcycle champion, Barry Sheene picked up 7 percent of the vote in fifth place, with voluptuous 1950s pin-up, Mamie Van Doren, in tenth offering a revealing insight into the minds of British bikers.
The MCN London Motorcycle Show at ExCeL on February 1-4 2007 features breath-taking stunt action, the very latest new motorcycles, new product launches, hundreds of bike accessories along with a chance to meet celebrity riders and, of course, the MCN babes.
