are you still writing that delicious fic about biker steve and the new girl at the bar?
oh yesss baby, I'm so glad you asked.
I might not finish it until I'm done with I'm on Fire, but here is a little something to tide you over. I'm not sure what I'm calling the fic yet, but it will be nice and long and juicy. This blurb won't be in the fic exactly like this, but I felt I needed to add some backstory. wc: 950
biker!steve x fem!reader
18+ONLY for mature themes, thoughts of smut, and mutual yearning
from the I'm on Fire au
Steve had been getting his hair cut by Rudy, the barber in Old Town, for over a decade, and he looked forward to his time in the chair, especially now that it was fall and things were finally settling down from the insanity of that particular summer.
It’d been 2 months, 5 days and 11 hours since he first laid eyes on you at The Velvet Hammer---the bar where you both worked.  He remembered checking the clock and thinking: this moment is important. He didn’t know how, and he didn’t know when, but he would have you.  He’d know your taste; he’d decipher every whine and whimper until no words were necessary.  He wanted to share the kind of passion with you that blossomed into blind, stark raving mad obsession.  He wanted to do and say things he’d regret, to embark on a mutual fixation that was borderline embarrassing.  
But you wanted nothing to do with him.  
You’d made it clear that “friendly co-workers” was all it would ever be.  You’d heard the rumors about his reputation as the local lothario and were familiar with the motorcycle club he belonged to that further accelerated his bad boy appeal.  Sure, you caught yourself thinking about him when you weren’t at work, secretly hoping that your schedules would sync up over the weekend so that you could indulge in that feisty banter the two of you excelled at. All flirting aside, one thing was for certain: getting intimately involved with a guy like Steve Harrington would not be good for your heart.
A very nice guy named Sean asked you out on a coffee date a few days ago, and you had accepted.  He had a stable job, he liked animals, and he didn’t look anything like the heavily tattooed biker with the thick mop of slicked back hair that you couldn’t stop fucking thinking about.  
The meetup went fine, the conversation dry but respectful, and you might’ve dozed off once while he was in a particularly long monologue about a trip he took with his ex before they broke up.  The guy was a snoozefest, honestly, and the corners of your mouth jerked in a quick smile when you thought about the faces Steve would make if he were there.  
Steve stepped out onto the sidewalk from the barbers in his scuffed boots and cupped his hand in front of his face to light a smoke, scowling down at the lighter that he had to flick more than once.  He’d asked Rudy to go a little shorter on the sides this time, and there were two lines shaved in above his right ear.  He ran his thick fingers through his freshly styled locks, tee shirt sleeve straining tight around his muscles, and took a long drag, hollowing out his cheeks.
He looked up to put his wayfarer sunglasses on, and there you were--- coming out of the coffee shop with some…dude.  
The sight made him pause his sunglasses in mid air before slowly sliding them on the rest of the way. He stepped off the curb to straddle his 1993 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide, never taking his eyes off of you.
Sean had you locked in conversation again.  Not so much conversation, but his very one-sided opinion on something that left no room for your input, and you didn’t look over until you heard the bike rumble to life.
You couldn’t help it, you smiled so wide when you saw him that your teeth showed, and your eyes lit up in a way that Sean could never earn from you.  You tried to stifle your reaction by lowering your gaze to the sidewalk, letting the sound of the chrome beast drown out the voice of your monotone coffee date.  
Sean stepped closer, took his hand out of the pocket of his khakis to touch your arm, and the movement was met with a few snarling revs of the bike.
Steve was glaring at you now from behind his dark lenses, cigarette hanging loose between full lips, the knuckles of his tattooed fingers almost white from his tight grip on the handlebars.  
He’d heard you mention to one of the other servers that you had a date, but he didn’t know he’d have to actually see it.  The jealousy that flared in him was unreasonable, considering he had no claim on you, but goddamn—in his mind, you were his.  He’d been loyal to the thought of you in a way he couldn’t understand, and a month-long celibacy streak for him was something he hadn’t suffered since he was a teen.  
You moved away from the guy, letting him know with your body language that you weren’t interested.  
“Can I see you again?” Sean asked, eliciting a few more aggressive revs of the bike.
This time, it made Sean glance over with a frown, and Steve stared right back, taking the opportunity to rev the bike one more time before tossing his smoke to the pavement and grinding it with the toe of his boot.  
“Do you know him?” Sean asked, turning to you.
Your gaze flicked between them, and then landed on Steve, and he gave you a two-finger wave, his expression a mask of intense disinterest.  “Yeah, we, um, we work together.”
You told Sean you’d call him, but you never would, and when he offered to walk you around the block to your car, you declined.  
You made a point not to look behind you as you heard Steve’s engine grumbling along in your shadow, keeping pace. Once you got to your driver’s side door and popped the lock, you looked up, expecting Steve to stop and say something, but he cruised on, pausing at the stop sign without even a nod or acknowledgement of your presence, and then sped off into the distance.

I saw some recent fanart of Mike Zacharias that got me thinking about him as a biker, so naturally I developed some unhinged headcanons. So here we go: Biker!Mike
- Mike wears a leather jacket over a tank top or tight cropped T-shirt that ends just below his belly button. His dark jeans hang low enough that the combination gives a peek of his happy trail. He has longer hair that he tends to tie into a messy bun that sits over an undercut.
- He has both of his ears pierced; three in each lobe, conch and helix on one side and an industrial in the other.
- He's a tattoo fanatic and has full sleeves on both arms. One arm is all classical style ink – thin lines curling into roses, skulls, and the like with the muted reds, greens, yellows, and blues that are staples to the art. The other side is done in the Neotraditional style, which he's used to highlight his passions, from bikes to climbing to camping and everything in between. He likes to say he's a meshing of old and new school.
- He rides a cruiser style bike, specifically a 1980 Harley Davidson FXWG Wide Glide. He bought it when he turned 18 and fixed it up and got it working like new. He calls it his 'old girl' but sometimes he calls it Betty. He's never told anyone the reason for the name.
- He learned how to do pinstriping, and when he repainted the FXWG, he pinstriped what has become his signature design. He became so well known by the design that he got it tattooed on his back, across the shoulders. 
- He also has a 1955 Harley Davidson FL Hydra-Glide that he picked up in a junk yard years ago. He's been fixing it up whenever he can get hold of the right parts.
- When you first ride with him on the FXWG, he has to show you how to climb up and when you put your hands around his waist, he can't help but grin like an idiot. It took so long to convince you to ride with him, and feeling you pressed against his back fills him with a sense of pride.
- On that first ride, he takes you along a back road route, winding along tight turns, up and down hills, and through narrow lanes covered by trees. It's his favourite route to take back to his place, but he waited to take you on it until he got you on the bike; he thinks that's the best way to experience it.
- The first time you have sex, he bends you over the seat of his bike before he presses into you. You have half a mind to worry about messing up the leather of the seat, but he’s fucking into you so deep and muttering so many praises that you can't focus enough to bring the words to your mouth.
- He can't help but fuck you every chance he gets. You look so good after the wind has whipped through your hair, your cheeks reddened from the ride, and the feel of you pressed against his back gets him hard every time.
- He's always so tender when he slides into you the first time, taking you slow and holding you close. He'll make you come on his cock every time, and when you clench on him, riding out your high, it ignites something in him, and he gets faster and rougher. Within seconds, he's hovering over you, broad chest heaving as he snaps his hips into you relentlessly. 
- If you're on your back, he'll always end up folding you in half, pounding into you deeper and deeper until he comes. 
- If he's taking you from behind, he's digging his fingers into the meat of your hips or holding you up against him by your chest, fingers pinching a nipple as he fucks into you.
- After he comes, he stays in you as long as he can, enjoying the feeling of your warmth around him.
- He loves holding you close to him after sex, the sweat of your bodies sticking your skin to his.
- When you fuck him on the seat of the '55 FL Hydra-Glide after he'd been working on it for a few hours, bouncing on his cock and smearing the grease from his hands on your body, he knows he's yours forever.

Harley-Davidson Enthusiast Collection Introduces Fast Johnnie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
High-Performance 1960s and ‘70s Muscle Cars Inspires Limited-Edition Trio of Motorcycles. Harley-Davidson celebrates muscle car culture and its racing heritage with the introduction of Fast Johnnie, the 2023 addition to the Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection of limited run bikes featuring factory-direct custom paint and graphic treatments. Executed in Celestial Blue with white racing stripes, this special Enthusiast Collection paint scheme is offered factory-installed for three 2023 Harley-Davidson models: the Low Rider® ST, the Street Glide® ST and the Road Glide® ST motorcycles, with combined production limited to no more than 2,000 models globally.
Tumblr media
Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection models celebrate Harley-Davidson riders and are inspired by their stories and legacies. The Fast Johnnie paint scheme taps into iconic design themes featured on high-performance muscle cars and pony cars of the 1960s and 1970s – contrasting “racing” or “rally” striping over a bold base colour, and a clever or symbolic character or logo incorporated into the graphics package. Both elements served to create an obvious visual difference between the high-performance version of a car and the standard version of the same model. The Fast Johnnie character applied to the left side of the fuel tank also appears on the Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® factory team motorcycles raced in the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series. It was inspired by the story of a piglet named Johnnie adopted in 1920 by Harley-Davidson racer and member of the infamous “Wrecking Crew,” Ray Weishaar, which became a team mascot. The piglet often perched on a motorcycle fuel tank for a post-race victory lap and is usually cited as the source of the “Hog” moniker that to this day is often applied to anything Harley-Davidson.
Tumblr media
“The striping graphic effect is a powerful signal to the generation that came of age during this era, and is still impactful today,” said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design and Creative Director. “The Celestial Blue base colour selected for Fast Johnnie recalls a popular tone from the muscle car era. For the graphic striping, we created a custom white colour formulated to authentically reflect the era, executed in a classic thin-wide-thin pattern on the sides and top of the motorcycle bodywork. The look is a nod to pure Americana.” On the tank and front fender “Harley-Davidson” script replaces one of the thin stripe elements. Depending on the motorcycle model, the striping is applied to the front and rear fenders, the fuel tank top and sides, the front of the fairing and the side covers and saddlebags. The Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection logo is on the rear fender.
Tumblr media
Low Rider® ST Fast Johnnie Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection Strap down your bedroll and make a run for the border. The Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST model is an American V-Twin sport-touring bike for the rider who digs clean-and-lean West Coast style and craves the outrageous performance of the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin powertrain. The Low Rider® ST model connects these riders with pure Harley-Davidson attitude. Mechanical features are identical to the 2023 Low Rider® ST model. Special Styling Features - Celestial Blue with custom white detailing - Enthusiast Collection logo on rear fender - Graphic on both sides of the fuel tank – Fast Johnnie on left, Bar & Shield on right
Tumblr media
Street Glide® ST Fast Johnnie Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection Elevated pro-touring bagger performance and style for the rider who just can’t get enough of either. The Street Glide® ST model pairs the muscular Milwaukee-Eight® 117 powertrain with tough West Coast styling influences and new dark-and-bronze finishes topped off with Screamin’ Eagle® exhasut. Undiminished comfort and the iconic batwing fairing appeal to the traditionalist mindset. Meet the new breed of speed and style from Harley-Davidson. Mechanical features are identical to the 2023 Street Glide® ST model.
Tumblr media
Road Glide® ST Fast Johnnie Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection The sleek Road Glide® ST model projects more menace than ever and backs it up with the street-scorching power of the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 powertrain along with Screamin’ Eagle® exhaust. West Coast styling elements and black-and-bronze finishes set this bike apart from the performance bagger crowd. Legendary comfort and the “sharknose” fixed fairing appeal to a rider who wants to make quick work of the open road. Mechanical features are identical to 2023 Road Glide® ST model. Road Glide ST and Street Glide ST Special Styling Features - Celestial Blue with custom white detailing - Screamin’ Eagle® exhaust - Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection logo on rear fender - Graphic on both sides of the fuel tank – Fast Johnnie on left, Bar & Shield on right - Harley-Davidson® Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories offers colour-matched King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier, Chopped Tour-Pak® luggage carrier, and saddlebag speaker lids.

Electric Tron Lightcycle is Street Legal
youtube
Yeah we can make them electric and they go very very fast I haven't perfected the drive for the light cycle but you can use the rim and you put a sprocket on there it's kind of going to be really big but they do it and you hold it in a little and it goes very fast and because of that too it has no problem starting out is this light the tire is the heavy part and they don't weigh that much they're like maybe about 38 lb each total rim and tire and the whole bike was about 600 lb now there's a trick to this bike
IT IS NOT HARD FOR PEOPLE OF OUR HEIGHTS TO DRIVE
It's really not that bad you get on it you can touch the ground flat foot in your knees are bent and the weight doesn't shift very quick even when you put it like at a 30° angle it's still not that much weight because the tires are almost flat on the ground and you can easily push it back if it goes on the side it's still easy to pick up and it only feels like a hundred pounds and when we did it on you take a thing when you hold fishing or a gator and it register 110 lb on a point but you're really using two hands and your butt and everything or your leg it's easy someone like our friend here could drive it without any problems at all. Now we've got a huge amount of people who are willing to try this out but I have to tell you...
THIS IS WORTH IT THESE BIKES THESE HARLEY-DAVIDSONS WITH THE BIG TIRES THAT ARE LOWERED ARE EASY TO RIDE
You will not be disappointed it's the same thing as the light cycle and a lot of you have driven it cuz you strip it down and you do put filters on if you go to the desert but the desert it's easier to drive than it is on the road and their friend here says you put a little larger tire in height and it's a off-road tire and you can go over rocks and trees and I've done it the thing is invincible and you said that the suspension up again it just seen the one in the snow these bikes are awesome because of torque you go up a hill you can go up a mountain and really we need to there's no time to fool around and now we don't have to when you trim down a Harley that's like a 107 it's like a wide glide it comes out weighing about 650 lb you trade out the tires and rims and it's about 680 there's ways to make it lighter as a matter of fact the exhaust is a ton we do take that off and drop 50 lb it weighs too much and there's a few other things you can strip off and it's back on underneath 600 lb and really you don't find many bikes that big with a big motor like that with that weight now we thought about the transmission for these tires so we went back and we looked at her notes about Max and they said these are hogs and their hours and he found it and he figured out the code and he forgot to get it out thoughts on this might get it and we didn't get it
THESE ARE HOGS WE'RE STUCK WITH THEM THEY'RE OURS THE MAX IS GOING TO MAKE THEM INTO HOGS AND USE THEM AGAINST US BY PUTTING BIG TIRES GOING FAST WE'RE DOING IT LIKE MADNESS OTHER GROUPS DOING IT LIKE MADNESS THAT ARE NOT MAC PROPER
It's our opportunity to shine we have tons of these and we can take small motors and put them in our old hard knock kicker to get around with they still look real cool they Ride real well they sound cool and you know what they're nice and light and you can actually ride them this is the solution to the mystery
WHY ARE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES SO DAMNED HEAVY.. THE ANSWER IS THEY PLAN TO PUT THESE WIDE LOW PROFILE TIRES ABOUT 9 IN TO 12 IN WIDE AND ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES HIGH ON EVERY SINGLE BIKE THEY HAD ON OFF-ROAD TIRES OFF-ROAD TIRES AND ROAD TIRES TO DEFEAT EVERYBODY WE HAVE TO GRAB THESE BIKES AND DO IT MYSTERY SOLVED
