With all the neo-hippies marching and claiming that peace is just around the corner during the hell fire time that we call the 21st century, it’s nice to escape to a time when you could fuck, take acid, and ride the shit out of your motorcycle with reckless abandon. I’m not saying there weren’t problems, because holy shit there were, but with hindsight being 20/20, you can be damn sure there are more then a few bikers who harken that age and wish they could go back to 1969 when the movie Easyriders took the US by storm, catapulting bikers into mainstream culture as crazed, drugged-out lunatics.
I think the motorcycle industry these days could use an old fashion ass kicking and would benefit hugely from a GREAT goddamn biker movie. This movieGhostrider that’s coming out better be fuckin good or I’m hangin up my motorcycle movie viewing cap until an actual biker makes one who knows at least a little bit about making a movie. Either it’s complete bullshit, or it’s horribly made. Easyriders came at the right time. It made people think about what the American Dream is and today it’s totally applicable but I guess nobody gives a shit about my idea that the cash coming out of the gas tank was just a symbol for the US dependence on oil, and how that will eventually land us on our ass…or are we already there?

Enough of my drug induced ramblings. What we have here, whether it was 1969 or 2010, is the best combination…a hot girl (and for once she really is hot I’m not just writing that because Bandit needs to keep his ratings up…whatever those might be), and a killer chopper. This chopper is obviously a period perfect duplicate of the Captain America bike in Easyriders and it’s owned and built by Trash. He had a vision that he needed that needed to be true to the original, he did tons of research and ended up with this real chopper. I know, it seems like everything is called a chopper today…hell if the right person asks, I even tell people I have a chopper because they think they know what that means and it makes it easy for me to stop the conversation.
This Captain America Replica bike is a true chop with the chromed wishbone frame, king and queen seat, double risers for the bars, tons of stretch, a front end that’s a mile long, and of course a kickstart. The Captain America bike is easily one of the most recognized bikes in the world and with only one original remaining that was rebuilt from the one blown up in the movie it’s no wonder that someone would want to build a bike that epitomizes freedom and immediately brings people back to an era when things were very different. Today there is an actual motorcycle industry, back then it was underground, unacceptable, and meshed nicely with some of the counter culture movements.

Speaking of counter culture the hot number on the bike is none other than the lovely Tiara Leanne you can see less of her at her myspace page http://www.myspace.com/tiaraleanne.
She is a SoCal girl through and through, but currently resides in….hell? Well at least that what it says on her MySpace page. Seems like some of you old dirty bastards reading out there might have a chance because we know you’re already burning! She likes to look at bikes as they go by and takes the occasional ride with the right guy. She’s modeled for a while, isn’t shy and just digs being able to be creative…she was very creative with this Captain America replica bike and adds another dimension to the pictures…well she adds the dimension…enjoy!
