Brad Pitt's Unexpected Pitt Stop

Brad Pitt was forced to abandon his vintage motorbike on a busy Hollywood street on Tuesday (14Sep10) after the vehicle broke down.

The actor was riding his classic motorcycle through Los Angeles but came to an abrupt halt during the journey.

He failed to figure out the cause of the problem so called his car driver for advice - but the assistant was also unable to diagnose the fault.

So Pitt decided to drive home in his car, leaving his loyal employee to wait with the motorcycle until help arrived, according to Britain's Daily Mail.

It is the latest in a long line of bike problems for Pitt - one of his rides broke down last July (09), and in October (09) he was involved in a crash in L.A.
