"Last Ride" by Dozer Cycle


Yeah, I thought this would get your attention.
You’re looking at the front of a Motorcycle that is known as “Last Ride”. It’s a bike that sports a human skeleton made of steel that covers the length of it’s body. It literally looks like a skeleton on two wheels. I overheard a show patron say that if he saw this bike pull up beside him, he’d probably pull off the road.

I’ll be showing you a few more views of this unique machine and the man who built it, in the next couple of days.

I'll borrow an idea from my photoblogger friend, Carmi, and ask you a question. What first came to mind when you saw this image?

Unlike your friend who said he'd pull over, if I saw this in my rear view mirror I'd hit the gas and go, go, go.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me your kind words, Chad.

Well, I think I'm on Fourth of July overload because the VERY first thing I thought was,

"What kind of crazy fireworks are those?"

What an awesome bike!

Very nice ride a entirely different kind of horsepower than what I shoot.

I'm with Annie. I would be moving out!

When I first saw it I thought I had skipped a few months and it was Halloween. I thought it had a Jack-o-Lantern head with bright bright eyes.

I like your new portrait photo.

Anna said...

The lighting in this photo is really good, giving the shot a curious appeal. Did you get a lighter photo, as I would be interested in seeing more detail.

I went to the link and I really like your friends writing. And he is Canadian. I think he will become a regular read! Thanks for the "intro".

The way some people drive their bikes they will look like this only too soon! Perhaps this should be a warning. An Omen actually :)

I couldn't make out anything but two lights, and only knew it was a motorcyle from the title.

The creativity of the motorcycle designers is amazing. They make these one-off bikes. I hope they get plenty for them, because the time involved must be incredible.
