Ewan McGregor is the real deal too. He was doing a movie at Fox Studios in Sydney a couple of years ago and I spotted him a couple of times on the same weekend riding around on a Deus ex Machina W650 Kwaka street tracker.

Ewan humph cashed up poser charlie was the driving force, Dakar or bust, top to bottom bottom, side ways left to right, by any means,Charlie was a winger in the first one, not as bad in the second after he ditched Ewan (and wife( the spoiler)all good after that he came good trekking like he did was A OK by me, I'm jealous would've been great fun, his good mate the producer from the others stuff and him paid adventure trip of a life time several times over.  Ewan openly admits he hates the dirt.

Paul Newman aboard a CZ but he doesn't look race ready for some reason
                                                                             
he has got that 'broomstick up the arse look' for some reason.... another publicity shot maybe, like the JohnWayne one?

Don't think Charley is some poor working class pleb who made good, he's probably richer that Ewan thanks to his Hollywood director/producer dad. It's doubtful he's ever had to work in Macca's. I give 'em both brownie points for just doing what they do. Ewan might not prefer the dirt but he's still a motorcyclist and not a sometime rider like Brad Pitt.
