The Gator bike
When someone hands you lemons, the old adage is to make lemonade. But when someone hands you an alligator killed by state officials? You make a chopper motorcycle, naturally.
Such was the decision by Jim Jablon, owner of a Wildlife Rehab centre in Hernando, Florida specializing in the care of neglected and abused exotic pets. In order to raise money for the center, he took an $80,000 custom-built chopper and spread the alligator skin all over it; while mounting the head on the handle bars. A speedometer is implanted in the back of the skull.
The “Gatorbike” will be raffled off for $100 a ticket — with 1,000 tickets total being offered. Needless to say, the animals and clinic stand to benefit greatly. As well as the lucky scary person who desires a ride of this nature. If Woody Harrelson weren’t a vegan, I’d say his character from Zombieland would have been right at home on this thing.
