The Christ Bike, a one-of-a-kind religious icon on two highly custom wheels, made an appearance at the NYC Motorcycle Show last Thursday and I was lucky enough to watch it roll in.
It’s being raffled to benefit the Rushing Wind Biker Church of Bohemia, New York, but you can see it through tonight at the Jacob Javits Center.
It’s a beauty.
Depicting the life of Christ from birth through crucifixion, this $ix-figure custom features scripture and Easter imagery,
...a reference to Christmas,
...first rate air brush painting...
...and symbols from the crucifixion like the spear and crown of thorns.
The usually spoked rear wheel is based upon a cross motif,...
...and the front wheel is a Star of David because afterall, Jesus was a Jew.
How’s it go? From the webpage:
“...a rocket ship on wheels. Someone took her out and went 134 miles per hour, and then the coward backed down with some throttle left to go.”
The, er, coward probably had a peace of mind that if things don’t go so well at that very high speed for a custom cruiser, the odds at least indicate heaven.
