Twisted Road has compiled a list of female celebrities that love to explore the globe on two wheels.

Don't worry, we have a list of famous men that ride coming to your inbox soon.
Jewel
Singer Jewel credits riding a motorcycle for renewing her love of travel after years hectic world tours wearing her out. It also helped her to have anonymity when out in public so she can take in the sites without crowds of fans blocking her views. Jewel and her husband have traveled on their motorcycles across Colorado, Montana and Wyoming.
Olivia Munn
Olivia Munn bought a BMW R1200R motorcycle for a now-ex. He left and the motorcycle stayed—luckily she had some moto knowledge due to the fact that her brothers owned a custom bike shop when she was growing up. She got the hang of the slightly-too-large motorcycle by riding around her neighborhood and Malibu. Her fear of riding on busy streets had her spending most of the time riding late at night with only the coyotes to see how cool she looks geared-up to ride.
Alanis Morissette
Ducati-loving Alanis is another celeb with a famous motorcycle man, former boyfriend Ryan Reynolds, that inspired her to ride. She says riding has helped her deal with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
P!nk
Pink grew up riding on the back of her dad's motorcycle and later married motocross racer Carey Hart. So her inspiration to ride is close to home. She's a fan of the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy but is also rides both Triumph and Indian motorcycles. For Pink, riding is about the feeling of freedom and peace it gives. The Harley-Davidson experience appeals to her because she loves touring and the fact that other people on HD bikes feel a kinship.
Cher
Cher has been heard saying that she's always loved bikes (and bikers). She took her first ride, on a Harley-Davidson, at age 14. In the 90s she rode her Harley in the "Happy Harley Days" and "Rejoice on Rodeo" parades. Cher's love for leather and zippers, makes her transition from stage to saddle seamless.

Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson, a longtime motorcycle fan, has been seen riding a Triumph in the 1996 film Barbwire. She's also been spotted out on the road on a 2004 Honda Valkyrie Rune which was rumored to have been sold for over $30,000 in 2008.
Angelina Jolie
If the phrase, "biker babe" comes to mind when you think of Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider, you are not alone. While not an avid rider, Jolie likes to take a motorcycle ride on occasion. She's owned a BMW F640GS and an MV Agusta, given to her by her ex Brad Pitt (who is also a motorcycle rider).

Marisa Miller
Marissa Miller is a swimsuit model, surfing instructor, and rides a motorcycle? (Not me over here wondering what I've done with my life?!) She has gone from riding waves to riding motorcycles and has been the face of Harley-Davidson, appearing in Harley calendars, and as an animated tour guide for their website.
Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer
Battlestar Galactica stars Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff, are both avid motorcyclists that went from riding on the back of someone else's motorcycle, to creating their own lives on two-wheels, starting with getting their moto licenses. Sackhoff also does her own stunts for her role as a tattoo-loving, motorcycle-enthusiast in Nip/Tuck. Helfer grew up riding ATVs on her parent's farm to riding the open road on two wheels. Both women also rode in honor of their charity organization: Acting Outlaws.
