FARRELL GIVES UP HIS BIKING DREAM

COLIN FARRELL has given up his biking dreams because he's learned he's no Hell's Angel.

The Irish movie star bought himself a motorbike last year (05) and took it for a ride through Death Valley, California and the Grand Canyon in Arizona - but quickly realised he wasn't cut out to be a leather-clad biker.

He explains, "I just bought one because I thought I'd be a motorbike guy and I don't think I really am.

"I went on a trip with a few friends - we went through Death Valley, up to Vegas, the Hoover Dam and then to the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful, actually, except it was snowing in the Grand Canyon.

"I didn't have a clue what I was doing, man. I came off the bike at about 30 miles an hour. There were no cars around, so I was fine... I haven't ridden it since.

"It was a mechanical problem with my right hand applying the brake when it shouldn't have."
