Nearly two weeks after celebrating his 47th birthday, it seems Ryan Reynolds may have gotten himself a late birthday present: a new motorcycle.
The 47-year-old actor shared a post from Roughchild Motorcycles, a Los Angeles-based custom bike builder, on his Instagram story Thursday.
The post showed Reynolds posting with Roughchild Motorcycles founder Robert J. Sabel and his new ‘Bobber’ motorcycle.
‘Here’s Ryan and his new Bobber. Finished in NATO Green with a dusty pink pinstripe’ the post caption read.
The post also featured a close-up shot of Reynolds and Sabel, a shot of the bike itself and a 360-degree video.

According to the Roughchild website, the Bobber 2.0 stars out as a 1988 BMW R100 but is fully customized.
Reynolds has become quite the motorcycle aficionado, with a recent Instagram post praising another bike-builder that sparked massive interest in the company.
The Deadpool star took to Instagram in September to praise a bespoke Vector motorcycle by a small British company called Arc.
The actor said the custom bike was the, ‘coolest bike’ he’d ever ridden, adding he, ‘never stopped giggling the whole ride.’
He insisted that he had, ‘no stake or connection’ to the company, and only wanted to praise the bike, though his post to his over 50 million followers sent the company into ‘overdrive.’
‘As a start-up business we would never have been able to pay for that sort of celebrity endorsement,’ Arc chairman Marc Truman told BBC.
Arc claims the Vector is the, ‘most advanced motorcycle’ in the world, claiming the 530lb machine can accelerate from a standing start to 100 kilometers (62 miles) an hour in just 3.2 second and hit speeds of up to 200 km/h (124 mph).
The custom motorcycles will cost you a pretty penny, going for roughly $120K apiece.

Reynolds will return as the Merc With the Mouth in Deadpool 3, which had been set for release next May, but director Shawn Levy recently hinted he wasn’t sure that would still be feasible due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
‘I wish I knew. I don’t even know if we officially have [a release date]. I know we were gonna be May 3,’ Levy said.
‘Certainly, the actors’ strike and the long pause in production have put that release date in true risk,’ Levy added.
‘We’ve shot half the movie. I’ve edited half the movie. We’re dying to get back to work and get this movie out next year,’ Levy said.
