David Mann Motorcycle Artist

David Mann captures the spirit of the chopper scene so perfectly. The sad thing is that I remember most of these works of art from the motorcycle magazines from the 70’s to the 90s.

Mann really captured the biker lifestyle . . . Love the idea , motorcycles, open road, beautiful women, and freedom! Great images! (more…)

Motorcycle Crash

Motorcyclist Crash

This is what happens when you lock up your front brakes on a motorcycle. Luckily this happened at low speeds.
