Felix Götze rocking horse

Motorcycle rocking horse by Felix Götze
A little bit of fun for the weekend: German designer Felix Götze has created this rocking horse from old motorcycle parts. Apparently it’s for a little lad called Otto Komei, who is fascinated by the choppers coming out of the workshop opposite his house. Götze installed a two-stroke thumper of 150 cc with a slash-cut exhaust, because “everybody rides V2 four-stroke”. That sprung leather saddle is a neat touch, and so is the airbrushing by artist Thomas Weber. Who’s a lucky boy? [Images and concept copyright Felix Götze.]

    Gotze…that’s an unfortunate name.

    Um, that decorative line painting on the tubing and headlamp body is called ‘pin striping’. There is no apparent ‘air brushing’ on that rig. FYI

    You’re right eB—Thomas Weber is known as an airbrush specialist, but in this case, it’s almost certainly pinstriping.
