Chris Pine - 1967 BMW R50/2 (Essentially in stock form)
PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRIS PINE
Chris Pine, who plays Captain James T. Kirk in the rebooted Star Trek franchise, also appears in the Wonder Woman films, and is a prolific voice actor (Robot Chicken!). According to Sabel, who counts Pine as a friend as well as a client, Pine acquired his first Roughchild custom, an ex-police duty BMW R75/6, in 2021. Pines father, Robert Pine, played Sgt. Getraer on the iconic 1970s cop show CHiPs, so the cop bike connection was strong. Pine is also a devoted car guy and master coffee maker, Sabel told me. One day while at Pine’s home, Sabel says he spotted Pine’s vintage Porsche 356 (”Every Hollywood movie star should have one,” Sabel says), but was told it didn’t run after sitting undriven for too long.
Ever the motorhead, Sabel was able to McGuyver a quick fix and get the Porsche running, and then suggested to Pine he needed a motorcycle from the same era to keep the 356 company. Pine apparently agreed, but the bike he ended up with happened to be Sabel’s personal ride, a 1967 R50/2 in pretty much stock form. “I went home, got the bike, rode it over and that was that,” Sabel said.

Nevertheless, for Wednesday’s paragliders, it was spiced up with the uncommon rumbling of thunder and some flashes of lightning so as to add to the joy.
Heather Tager of the Sea Level Enchancment District mentioned the 2 had landed close to the Loopy Retailer on Primary Highway.
She mentioned, “We’re very grateful that there aren’t any accidents.”
The incident was apparently brought on by an unexpectedly sturdy wind, however an skilled paraglider on the toggles saved the day.
