Easy Riders
It’s been described as the sexiest machine ever invented by man – and is it any wonder? With its sleek, aerodynamic form and pumped-up exhaust, there’s simply no denying the eye-pleasing aesthetics of the motorbike. Put some oversexed cutie on the seat, however, and what was a thing of beauty takes on a whole new carnal appeal, as Yuri Adamov, Mike James and Tom Crua (each blessed with oversized exhausts of their own) are only too eager and willing to demonstrate. Life on the open road has rarely looked so utterly spunktastic!
