Scrap Metal Bike For The Ghost Rider In You

What can you do with scrap metal? Sell it to a scrap dealer or just throw it away. Here is an artist who has made use of scrap metal extracted from junked cars, bikes and cycles to make a rather attractive motorcycle. Roongrojna Sangwonprisarn, a 54 year old artist from Bangkokhas developed the motorcycle that resembles the bike seen in the Hollywood movie Ghost rider.

Roongrojna Sangwonprisarn while speaking to Reuters said he had used scrapped parts from cars and bikes to design this bike. He said he was inspired by the look of the dragon and wanted to build a bike that looked similar. This ghost bike appears to have a conventional engine but a truly unconventional design.

Using broken chains, suspension springs, gear wheels, and other parts, the artist has built this scrap metal bike. This story should definitely inspire motorcycle enthusiasts to build similar bikes here in India as well. We always say re-use and recycle to save the environment. This is one cool way of reusing scrap metal as well as looking good.

The Malaysian artist who owns four motorcycle workshops in Bangkok builds such unconventional bikes and also exports them. One friendly warning to Mr. Sangwonprisarn from us is to avoid hitting the brakes suddenly and risk jamming his face in the horn like metal cover.
