Handcrafted Rustic Sculpture of Recycled Auto Parts, "Rustic Standard Motorbike"
This motorcycle of classic inspiration is built by Armando Ramirez from an intriguing collection of recycled metal pieces, some extracted from cars. The tires are bearings from a car's electrical system and the hubcaps are electric coils. The motorbike's fuel tank was once a rocker arm from an automotive ignition. The engine is shaped from a cogwheel as well as a timing chain.
Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

"great gift"
This is a great gift for someone who works a lot with a computer. It is well made and fun. My one complaint is that it is described as a male executive. It should be unisex.

Ive been waiting for this sculpture for months to give as a gift to my niece, who just became a veterinarian. I was in awe of the quality and detail of this piece, and I know that my niece is going to treasure it! I will definitely be back for more sculptures in the future!
