20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Sons Of Anarchy
12. ...But Everyone Else Rides Theirs In Real Life
Some people fared a little better with their choppers. In fact most of the cast became so enamoured with the bikes their characters rode (which, in most cases besides the bigger stunts and the like they actually rode themselves) that they used them off-camera as well as on. Which must have been a nightmare for the show's insurance folk. Charlie Hunnam is especially adept at riding his bike, using it as his primary form or transport rather than driving a car. In fact during an appearance on Conan he talked about how he'd rode his Harley there, and about how he apparently gets guff for wearing white trainers in the show even though it's true-to-life. Like, of all the things to get upset about in Sons Of Anarchy. Mark Boone Junior, Theo Rossi, Kim Coates and Emilio Rivera all actually ride their bikes in real life too, having lead numerous charity motorcycle rides across the US since the show started, which is jolly nice of them. And probably not very in character.
