A very cool looking motorcycle made from the skull and skin of an alligator has given new meaning to the term 'road kill'. The custom-made bike has been crafted from the skin and skull of a real alligator. How do you outrun an alligator that has a top speed of more than 120mph?



Quote from the article:

Thankfully this one doesn't bite anymore but 'GatorBike' as it has been dubbed is still going to turn heads and set pulses racing as it eats up the highways. The custom-made bike, crafted from the skin and skull of a real alligator that was culled by authorities to keep their numbers down, has been created to raise funds for a wildlife charity. Jim Jablon, owner of the Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando (WROH) in Florida, devised the GatorBike to raise funds for his centre. WROH rescues exotic pets that have been neglected or abused by their owners and either releases them back into the wild, re-homes them or cares for them on site. He said: 'All those skins from culled gators usually get pinned up in people's yards so I thought why not put one to good use.' Jim has worked with the animals at his rehab centre for twelve years and is looking for funds so that he can expand to care for more confiscated and abandoned bizarre pets. His collection of friends includes Zoro the black and white ruffed lemur, Dozer the lynx and Artic the albino Burmese python.
