EASY RIDER - HOPPER HOPS BACK ON HIS BIKE

EASY RIDER star DENNIS HOPPER is getting back into the saddle for a mammoth motorbike ride between Russia's two biggest cities. The road trip will see the actor/artist joined by other Hollywood stars to launch an exhibition of American art at Moscow's Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts on 24 July (07). Hopper, whose paintings and photographs are currently on display at the country's prestigious Hermitage museum, says, "Yeah, Jeremy Irons, Laurence Fishburne, Thomas Krens (director of Guggenheim Museums Worldwide) and me are going to ride on motorbikes from St Petersberg to Moscow. It's gonna be wild."
