Harley-Davidson Other description

1999 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Bomber Bike Prototype Looking for a way to commemorate the men and machines that spawned the sport of motorcycling, Mike James of Santa Cruz Harley-Davidson, and Bruce Canepa of Canepa Designs teamed up to design a limited series of bikes that would capture the essence of days gone by. The result was the Bomber Bike. This particular example is the show bike and no.1 in a series of ten built. In addition to going on the show tour, this was the bike featured in all the advertising and articles about the Bomber bike program.

James Cameron’s New Movie “Avatar” to use “Motorcycle Riding Badass” template?

Thu, 20 Aug 2009

James Cameron, the genius behind such movies as Aliens, Terminator 1 and 2, True Lies, and The Abyss, has a new movie coming out this fall. “Avatar”, a sci-fi action movie, stars Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Lang and Michelle Rodriguez, all of whom can be seen in the new pictures released yesterday by the studio. In one of the images we see Sam Worthington wearing a Harley-Davidson shirt and sitting in a bar.  Is this the story of an average tough guy who rides motorcycles and plays pool in bars, turned action hero who saves mankind?  Does Sam’s character, “Jake Sully”, ever get on a motorcycle in the movie or just shows his Harley support by wearing the T-shirt?
