That's right, you're reading it correctly. It's not a mistake, I know he's dead and buried, but Marlon Brando  did get a motorcycle deal, or at least, his estate did.
Triumph motorcycle are paying the A-list movie star's estate a lot of money to use his name in Brando clothing accessories. Under the Triumph Legends Line, they will offer a replica leather jacket as used in Brando's famous 1953 biker movie, The Wild One (in which he rides a Triumph motorcycle - click on the link for more info on the movie).
The jacket will even have the "Johnny" name tag embroidered onto it (tough luck if you're name is not Johnny). Triumph will further develop women and men's t-shirts branded with the Brando name (that kind of rhymes)... My question is, how many modern-day bikers know Marlon Brando and know his The Wild One movie?
