Cowasaki - Bone Motorcycle at Ripley’s

If you're into weird custom builds, this exhibit really beats them all.

This a full-scale chopper built entirely out of real animal bones. The creator, a Florida local named Reese Moore, spent about a year piecing it together and jokingly named his creation the "Cowasaki."

Building just one of these motorcycles took 3 to 4 cow skulls, alligator skulls, turtle shells, and the bones of raccoons, wild pigs, and wolves. The wheel rims, for instance, are made entirely from cow spines. Moore sourced all the materials either from roadkill or by collecting them from local hunters and farmers.

From a design perspective, the anatomy is remarkably accurate: the lines of the frame, the forks, the handlebars, the seat, and even a detailed imitation of a V-twin engine are all exactly where they should be.

If you're ever riding through Florida, it’s definitely worth dropping by the museum "Ripleys Believe it or Not" just to see the sheer scale of this crazy, painstaking work in person.
