Description
It’s old school iron meets modern high tech as two riders gun the throttles of their raked out choppers in search of the edge of traction. A nearby heard of buffalo is startled as the roar of the engines breathing through twin straight pipes builds in intensity. With a wave of an arm the race is on! On a desolate stretch of road outside of Sturgis two men test their metal in the ultimate contest of speed, bravery and honor. Thunder on the Plains salutes the independent spirit and outlaw attitude that chopper culture exudes. All the drama and action of a high stakes street race is played out in this exciting scene. The excitement and anticipation of the starter, the steely concentration of the riders, and the uncertainty of the outcome combine to add to the atmosphere of the showdown. Set against a western themed background Thunder on the Plains incorporates elements of the old west with the modern cowboys’ steed of choice, the custom chopper. Proudly displayed in the Journey Museum in Salt Lake City for the Sturgis Show, Thunder on The Plains is being well-received as an exciting portrayal of life on the edge in the world of custom motorcycles. Motor Marc has captured the essence of racing in this his latest work.
