Actor Harold Perrineau Jr. Visits Infineon Raceway

 

SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Actor Harold Perrineau Jr. took time
from his busy schedule to head to Infineon Raceway on Thursday, Oct. 30, for
a motorcycle photo shoot.

 

Perrineau, best known for his work on "The Matrix Reloaded" and the upcoming
"The Matrix Revolutions," which will be released in November, has a hidden
secret of one day becoming a motorcycle racer.

 

That was the setting behind his visit to Infineon Raceway, where he posed
for a photo shoot with "Entertainment Weekly." Perrineau, decked in full
motorcycle race leathers, took static pictures aboard several Kawasaki
motorcycles, including a ZX-9R and a Z1000.

 

"I don't know if I could be a true professional motorcycle racer, but just
being out here and on this bike makes you want to go fast," said Perrineau,
who also stars on "Oz," HBO's first and longest-running drama series.

 

Perrineau has been riding bikes recreationally for five years, primarily on
cruisers.

 

"The happiest day for me will be when I'm going around a track like this and
taking a turn with my knee dragging on the ground. That will be the day,"
Perrineau said.

 

The photo shoot will be displayed in next week's issue of "Entertainment
Weekly." Ken Hill, general manager of Hayward Kawasaki Motorsports and a
rider on the American Federation of Motorcyclists circuit, supplied the
motorcycles for the shoot.
