Cruise escaped bike crash unscathed
Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise escaped unharmed when he crashed his brand new motorcycle.
The Collateral heart-throb was riding his turbo-charged Ducati in Beverly Hills, California, when he skidded on a patch of oil.
The 42-year-old ended up sprawled on the road but was able to give concerned onlookers autographs before re-mounting his mean machine.

Being able to put more than your toes down would help.

But but I thought Tom could do a 180 stoppie while firing a pistol with the other hand.
Am I the only one who noticed the tires in Mission Impossible magically change from slicks, to dirt tires, to trials tires, to sand paddles ?

I saw that one too. Of course, Speed Racer had a button on his steering wheel that did the same thing... so don't be telling me it isn't possible.

Beverly Hills would have a patch of oil? I don't believe it! I'm thinking Tom just don't know how to ride a motorcycle.

Yea that's cooool! Must be a Duc Monster. No other Duc has room to fit a turbo.
That would be loads of fun if not in the hands of a squid.

these fawned-over, grossly overpaid clothes hangers in hollyweird are so brainless they believe their own press releases.
he probably thought he could jump the oil slick...like in his movies
other 'stars' have thought that they had some 'special' abilities...
christopher reeves comes to mind - but that wouldn't be charitable to say anything about that

That's why the brits don't make computers, they haven't figured out how to make them leak oil. :)

That's what happens when you drive with your eyes wide shut.
It's a good thing he didn't smack his jaw in the incident, since we know he just can't handle the tooth...

Well, HUNK, by Hollyweird standards.
Cruise is a little guy.
