William Shatner will boldly travel across the U.S. on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

The “Star Trek” star announced plans Monday for the cross-country mission to promote his custom trike and raise awareness about the American Legion.

“I am taking another step into the unknown,” the 84-year-old actor said in a statement.

Except for killing his wife..

Cheap shot. She had serious substance abuse problems for years. Leonard Nimoy took her to AA meetings with him until she refused to go anymore. Why the hell would you say something like that unless you had evidence? I think Shatner is a blowhard egomaniacal overactor, but trying to blame him for the death of his wife is just plain cruel. Isn't life hard enough?

From the journals of Captain James Cook, the greatest sailor, navigator, explorer who ever lived:

30 January 1774

“I whose ambition leads me not only farther than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for man to go, . . .”

Sound familiar? It’s obvious that Captain James T. (Tiberius) Kirk is based on Captain Cook.

From link below:

“In developing a new pilot episode, called “Where No Man Has Gone Before”, series creator Gene Roddenberry changed the captain’s name to “James Kirk” after rejecting other options like Hannibal, Timber, Flagg and Raintree.[23] The name was inspired by Captain James Cook, whose journal entry “ambition leads me ... farther than any other man has been before me” inspired the episode title.”

Dr. Laura has a pink three-wheel Harley. ;o)

I admit, I lust after a three-wheel bike. (I didn’t learn to ride a bicycle until I was an adult and I’m not very good at it! LOL!) So . . . just how wussy is a trike for an adult, eh?

As long as he does not wear a Red Shirt on the trip he should make it.

>> lose that need for attention.

It’s hardwired into his DNA.

Accentuate the positive... at least he’s not an Al Sharpton or a Jimmuh Carter.

At warp nine it’d take about a minute and a half.

William Shatner has always been a motorcycle enthusiast. I read a story where he visited Harlan Ellison’s house to discuss the script to “City on the Edge of Forever” in 1966 and when Shatner left, he peeled out in Ellison’s driveway on his motorcycle and word has it the tire track mark is still there to this very day.
