Matt Skiba, known for his vocal and guitar work as a member of Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio, has revealed in an Instagram post that he has acquired a new motorbike - and named it after Billie Joe Armstrong!

The red Ducati Scrambler has been named 'Billie', with Skiba stating that he has "two bikes named after two of [his] favourite people". It was already known that Skiba is a Green Day fan, but this new post shows the extent of his feeling for the band.

Skiba has been a bike fan since he was young, and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsLw1NRnrG4&feature=youtu.be]has spoken out about motorcycle safety
