Is this Harley Davidson’s latest model? Artist creates human motorcycles

NOW that’s what you call a bunch of Hell’s Angels.

From a distance they look like the latest motorbikes off the production line, but closer examination reveals they are models of a different kind. 

The nude human motorbikes are actually the creation of body paint artist Trina Merry whose amazing work blurs the lines of reality.

It takes up to 18 hours for Trina to paint the lifelike bikes and they have now been chosen to front a huge US motor show. 
  Trina, from San Francisco, California, said: “I am a conceptual artist and often I am inspired by the bodies themselves by what they can and can’t do. 

“Everyone has seen the pictures of scantily-clad women next to motorbikes and cars and it can look a bit trashy.

“I wanted to take the idea of a beautiful woman and the motorbike and turn it on its head by making the bike from the bodies of the models. 
  “Nothing like this has ever been done before.”

Trina’s latest work featuring the three types of motorbikes for the Progressive International Motorbike Shows that will be touring the US this year.
