The idea is that the bikers have died, lost their harleys to the "living", and they are such hardcore motorcycle-junkies that they have to hitch a ride on my dads trailer to get a thrill.
My dad built a little trailor for his Harley (it matches the bike), and he wants to get me into airbrushing so I can paint some "biker skeletons" on the sides of it. He wants them to look like they are enjoying the ride as he flies down the freeway, maybe even have a few waving "goodbye" to the cars behind him, etc. He doesn't want them toony, and he doesn't want them to look mean and angry. He also said the dudes should be wearing vests and chaps, so I sketched this pose to be used with that in mind, what I later realized was there is no back or front to chaps and his whole pelvic bone area would be hanging out the open hole (as shown), it looks kinda strange. The skeleton reference pix really sucked, hence the tailbone, spinal column and various bones don't look accurate. This is the first full sketch I've done of one, i've also done two other versions, the original linework and the average colored art.
