SOA's Mark Boone Jr. Was Certainly Not A Rookie In Motorcycle Riding

When the opportunity came about to join the "Sons of Anarchy" cast, Mark Boone Jr. was hesitant. Just a quick glimpse at his IMDB page shows that, largely, he's a movie actor. As stated in "Sons of Anarchy: The Official Collector's Edition," he never wanted to be a well-known TV star who gets his character's name yelled at him in public places. However, he couldn't say "no" to "Sons of Anarchy" when it meant he could reconnect with motorcycles.

"I love motorcycles. There's something very exciting about [them]. Even the symbol of a motorcycle takes you somewhere right away," said Boone, who bought a Harley immediately after FX picked up the show. "It gave me a really good excuse to have one and ride one again. I am very happy to reintroduce the motorcycle into my life. I ride all the time; that is my primary form of transportation."

For Boone, working long hours on set, having to sometimes don an Elvis Presley costume, and hearing the occasional exclamation of "Bobby!" at a restaurant were all worth it. That's because, after so many years, he got to reestablish his biking passion.
