How does a nominee for a Golden Globe award blow off steam just days before the ceremony will be broadcast around the world?

If you're Brad Pitt and a motorcycle enthusiast, the sure cure is taking out a custom bike for a quick ride around the neighborhood. While most of us use this type of therapy in an ambiguous way the 'worlds sexiest man' many times over never seems to be far enough away from a prying video camera.

The celebrity biker has been nominated for his role of leading actor in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, with the film also being nominated for best picture. Pitt had an opportunity to enjoy his passion for two wheels in the movie, appearing on classic Indian and Triumph motorcycles, once with co-star Cate Blanchett riding on the back.

Pitt's favored motorcycle while in Europe tends to be a Ducati and as seen below, its a custom chopper for his time in the United States. Showing the heart of a true biker, Pitt is the founder of Make It Right Foundation New Orleans Louisiana, an organization dedicated to rebuilding the city following the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.

In the recent pictures of Brad trying to enjoy a quiet ride on the streets of Los Angeles, a photographer can be seen snapping photographs from the passenger seat of the Suburban as Pitts sits at a light.

The Golden Globes will be televised on on NBC at 8pm Eastern and as much of an avid biker as Brad Pitt is, a limousine is most likely in order for attending the event.
