Dubbed "The Heart Bike", it's gas tank is shaped and painted to look like a real human heart...
According to the Arizona Republic newspaper...
The $120,000 motorcycle was dedicated to Diethrich for his contributions in cardiovascular care, research and education at the 20th Anniversary of the International Congress on Endovascular Interventions in Scottsdale. Medical industry professionals made donations to offset the cost of the bike.Let's hope Paul Yaffe doesn't have to come out and perform CPR on this machine to get it started.
The one-of-a-kind hammered-steel chopper took nearly two years to create from concept to completion at Yaffe's Phoenix shop. The idea came from Diethrich's son, Tad.
I really like that front tire, but it seems like it's backwards - the "head" of the ying-yang should lead with the "tail" following (when going forward.)
ReplyDeleteOne of the worst "bikes" I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThe doctor saved my mom's life this week. I think his bike is great.
ReplyDeleteHey Yuppie,
ReplyDeleteIt is a wheel,not a tire !
You probably say fender instead
of bumper when talkin cars also !
Red & Black Forever !
you really took your time to insult "yuppie"? Amazing: the heart and soul you put into your work. The wheel might be the wheel and the tire might be the tire but you should settle down for your heart health.
