Brooklyn-based bodypainter Trina Merry's latest work just looks like a woman riding a red motorcycle.
At first glance, Trina Merry's latest work just looks like a woman riding a red motorcycle.
But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear to see that the vehicle itself is made up of five more nude models in body paint, contorting themselves to form the exact replica of a Ducati motorbike.
The result is an incredibly realistic human sculpture, part of the Brooklyn-based bodypainter's Human Motorcycle Project.
Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
Still laughing at the comments on the story. One guy say's "I would like to be run over by it 15 times"

EICMA is what the Italians call it but most know it as the Milan Motorcycle Show. It's so big one could spend a couple of days trying to take it all in. This years "fair" was marked by plenty of big new bike introductions (here's the link for the shots from Monday night's huge kickoff Ducati press conference:http://photos.ducati.net/Ducati-Events/EICMA-2009-Milan-Motorcycle/10266553_LzjSb ) and a couple of big manufacturers who didn't attend because of the economy. Given that a medium size booth here can cost a whole bunch of euros I suppose the bigger surprise is that this years fair doesn't seem smaller at all. The first two days are for press and foreign trade visitors and there were plenty of them as well. Join us for a look at what lots of people travel half way around the world to see.......

With DVT, Ducati’s 1198 Testastretta V-twin makes excellent torque and power.
When I interviewed CEO Claudio Domenicali about product plans for Ducati after the company was purchased by Audi, he surprised me by confirming that development work would intensify on the Testastretta family of eight-valve desmo engines. Back then, all the attention of the motorcycling world was focused on the new 1199, and Domenicali, a positive man, confirmed there was a lot more performance potential in that engine. He said there could be a substantial improvement in the quality of combustion throughout the rev range via better control of the turbulence in the intake charge at lower rpm.

This might look like a 1979 Ducati Darmah, but it was built from scratch in 2015. Incredible work from the Dutch specialist Back To Classics.
