Sexy Biker Girl - Von Dutch -- Flying Motorcycles


This first image is just a bit of eye candy for the boys. Since most guys were on their best behavior for Valentines Day, it's only fair that they get a treat.

The bike was designed and built by Denny Garley who is pictured and he is also one of the featured builders in The Real Original Biker Build-Off.

The model is the lovely Abigail who is also a Hooter's girl.

Von Dutch has got a loyal celebrity following -- here are some photos they sent to me today showing Lou Diamond Phillips and Jay Leno next to one of their bikes.

I love the forks on the bike pictured -- something about that twisting is just very kewl to me.

I first saw that style on the bike that Alex Mardikian designed for a rally in September 2004. Very kewl.

Today word got out that a guy from the North Texas area has a patent on a flying motorcycle.

In a nutshell, the rotars on this bike fold so that they are parallel to the bike when it needs to be ridden. Otherwise they spread out for helicopter use. The bike has a top speed of about 70 mph and sells for around $25k.

This creation is called the "Butterfly Gyroplane".

You can check out a video of the bike in action at this WFAA link.

Thanks for the eye candy. She would get a ride from me. In more ways that one.

I'm afraid of those gyrocopters. I've seen a few fall. I'll keep the harley.
