There are a few scenes in Purple Rain where he uses a stunt double to ride his motorcycle. They talk about it in the director's commentary from memory.

Oh that's a bit dissapointing. I thought P would be like Jackie Chan and do all his stunts. What was so dangerous in PR that he needed a double? I think the only time he needed a double in that movie was when "The Kid"'s father hit him in the beginning of the film.

That guy on the motorcyle, right? Where'd they find that guy? He looked like Phil Spector.
