The British star may have an adventurous on-screen persona after starring in blockbusters such as Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, but Orlando Bloom has taken on a far more dangerous task in real life. Riding a motorcycle through the streets of New York with a supermodel on the back.

Question is, did he do it with a knife between his teeth?

The gossip world is burning up with pictures of Orlando Bloom riding his BMW K 1200 around New York City with supermodel and girlfriend, Miranda Kerr. It must be love if a a supermodel would risk helmet hair for her motorcycle riding boyfriend.

Miranda Kerr is a model, best known as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels and the first Australian addition to the Victoria's Secret campaign.

His passion for riding has brought him a broken leg in the past, which wasn't unusual for the accident prone Bloom. The British actor is also known for his love of supermodels with Australian Miranda Kerr being linked to him since late 2007.

Interestingly enough, the last time the couple made the pages of Clutch and Chrome they were seen together in the beginning of April at a motorcycle dealership most likely picking out his current ride.

His interest isn't just in performance bikes, he was caught by a photographer on his vintage second World War motorcycle in September 2007 near his his Buckinghamshire mansion in England.

Celebrity motorcycle choices are following the national trend with younger stars leaning towards performance motorcycles with Tom Cruise and Brad Pit owning Ducati's and Britain's Prince Harry riding a Hayabusa.
