Lorenzo “Eroticolor” is a French artist who creates beautiful, classic posters under the name “Aristocratic Motorcyclist”.
They often feature form-fitting leather-clad ladies, ready to ride or flag the race start. Don’t judge the heels they’re sporting- french ladies don’t mind the challenge, as illustrated by the L’Equipee girls. Catchy phrases like “there’s a model for every rider” and “hell is the destination”.
Fun, fashionable, beautifully designed… most his posters are available in print form.
You can follow Lorenzo’s work on tumblr @aristocraticmotorcyclist. He also did some awesome exclusive desktop wallpapers for BikeEXIF.
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
