Motorcycles tend to be involved in more accidents than cars, whether their drivers are speeding or cars simply don't see the smaller vehicles in the road. So perhaps it's not surprising that celebrities in motorcycle accidents are a fairly common occurrence. Several famous actors, musicians, and athletes have been involved in motorcycle crashes. Thankfully, these stars survived the incidents - some with mere scratches, others with serious injuries.
