William Shatner Rides for the American Legion

William Shatner, legendary Priceline spokesman and the real commander of the starship USS Enterprise, is riding a motorcycle from Chicago to Hollywood, retracing the trip he took along Route 66 at age 19 as he drove west to launch his acting career.

He's undertaking this trip in partnership with the American Legion Riders to help raise awareness of American Legion programs and raise funds for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship, which helps cover college expenses for children of U.S. military men and women who lost their lives while on duty since Sept. 11, 2001.

You can follow Shatner's journey via his Twitter page. He's riding a custom three-wheeled bike called the Rivet, designed by Shatner and the motorcycle company American Wrench.
