Motorcycle made from animal bones

Would you buy a bone motorcycle model made of animal bones that costs US$55,000? An old man from Florida built a motorcycle out of animal bones. He used 3 to 4 cow skulls, 2 to 3 alligator skulls, and some bones from goats, wolves, raccoons, turtles, and pigs. The vertebrae were made into the wheels of the cart. The name of this motorcycle is "Cowasaki".

Motorcycle maker Reese Moore said he spent a year collecting animal bones from roadsides, hunters or farmers, and another week polishing and assembling the bones. In addition to motorcycles, the 65-year-old has also made helicopters and dinosaurs out of bones. When hes not making bone casts, he trains whales and sea lions, builds museum exhibits or performs among the Timucuan Indians. He is also a snake farmer.

“Everything I do is special,” Moore said. “I’m always performing weird stuff.” In the 1990s, he used bones to create Halloween costumes for children. ornaments After that, he began to make models out of bones. That year he used bones to make various dinosaurs for his son. When the owner of Froggys Salon asked him if he could create a mannequin, Moore had an even better idea. "I jokingly said, I can make you a model of a motorcycle," he said. The bar owner thought it was impossible, but Moore accepted the challenge. Moore said: "I called him three or four days later and told him he could come and pick up the motorcycle."

The first bone motorcycle model Moore made is still on display in the bar. Priced at $100,000. Moore and his son built more motorcycle models, one of which is on display in a museum in Georgia and another in a gun shop in Kentucky. Cowasaki is now in Ormond Beach, priced at $55,000. Moore said: "They have to be the most photo-worthy motorcycles in history."

Auction house owner Wes Dunn said many people are interested in the bone motorcycle, and of course some are very excited about it. Puzzled. He pointed out that many local businesses want to get their hands on these special motorcycles. "Its not something we would have in our house, but its really cool," he said.
