A Bikers Tribute

Different things inspire motorcycle owners to customize their bikes. It could be based on death, ladies, art, abstract, or in this builder/owners case a tribute. The entire motorcycle was a tribute to the firemen lost in the 911 bombings of the towers. I chose to take a photo of the gas tank on this bike because of the details that were incorporated. The old-skool gold leaf graphics; the fire engine red color, the Fire Department insignia on the "tank bib", but most of all because of the way the owner decided to incorporate the names of the fallen. Click on the picture to see them.

"In Memories of" are a big deal in the biker world; tattoo's and patches are the most common and mainly reserved for those we were closest with, my hat's (bandanna's) off to this owner for his "IMO".
