Default Biker Gnome
I picked up a little die cast HD motorcycle at the flea market for a few bucks, and decided to add a rider. Since I like to whittle Gnomes this is what turned out. Don't know whether it's generally accepted to add a carving to something that is not a carving, but it sure opens up a whole lot of possibilities.

Claude, I whittled the body and head out of one piece then added the arms.
Dave and Butch, thanks for the nice comments.
Howard, thanks for the nice comment and the good laugh.

Since finding the motorcycle at the flea market, I have found out the TARGET stores carries this line of die cast motorcycles @ $7.95.

It enhances the bike and makes the gnome come alive.

That's a great carving, Tom. What a great idea of putting him on a Harley. I always look forward to see what you will carve next. I really enjoy your and Thomp's blog, too.

Cute one Tom, I have been wondering what made those tracks in my garden! Wonder if the Hubby will believe a gnome on a Harley did it?
