Kiefer Sutherland gave up riding motorcycles after a police officer remarked his bike seemed to be too big for him.
The 24 star really enjoyed taking long-distance trips on his motorcycles, but he admits he is not good at riding.
“I was riding a motorcycle in San Francisco and the cop pulled up next to me, looked over and said, ‘Looks like that bike’s riding you,’ and I thought, ‘I should probably get rid of this,’ and I did,” he tells People magazine’s Jess Cagle.
However, one thing the 49-year-old is adamant he won’t give up is alcohol – despite all the trouble it has caused him.
Back in 2007 The Lost Boys star was arrested for driving under the influence, which landed him a 48-day prison sentence.
In more recent years, his hellraising antics have led to him attacking a Christmas tree in a London hotel, while being caught more than a little merry on camera.
“One of the things I love to do is go out with my friends and tell stories and have a bunch of drinks,” he said. “Having said that, I can also look back on my life and tell you very squarely that the only bad things that have ever happened to me in my life have been because I like to go to bars and have drinks with my friends. (I) enjoy those moments with friends, despite the possibility of consequences.”
Makes you think he would probably be better at riding if he was sober. Hmmm..
