Norman Reedus and Jimmy Fallon mimic riding a motorcycle

Between Norman Reedus and Jimmy Fallon, the difference in experience riding a motorcycle is vast. The host of The Tonight Show has never ridden such a bike before, while the star of The Walking Dead hosts his own motorcycle show, Ride with Norman Reedus, in which he rides around the country exploring biker culture. The two attempted to bridge the gap on Thursday night, but rather than riding an actual motorcycle, they simulated the experience by straddling the couch. 

Fallon and Reedus did their best to pretend they were actually riding: They wore helmets (and put the shades down to look cool), mimicked the hand motions, and even sang The Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand By You” — with backing from The Roots — because that was the last song Reedus listened to on his motorcycle.
