Rory Dekker was born in Daytona Beach, FL. Raised by his father - who was president of the local chapter of the biker gang The Fugitives, he was indoctrined into the outlaw lifestyle from an early age.
Having a healthy appreciation for big, American V-twin motorcycles - he found them lacking in the speed department - which is what he ultimately craved & found himself gravitating toward exotic sport bikes. By the age of 20, he was already an accomplished amature circuit rider & was scouted & eventually recruited by a well known factory race team, to be their new MotoGP PRO rider in the Unlimited class. His ultra-aggressive "never back down" riding style earned him the nickname "Throttle" & was known by his competitors to have a meanstreak off the track, volatile & dangerous on the track. After only 2 seasons as a factory sponsored rider he was permanently banned from any & all professionally sanctioned motorcycle racing leagues. This being the resulting fallout from a particularly devastating crash he had caused, in which 3 fellow riders lost their lives & 5 others were crippled. Returning home to FL, he became a full fledged member of The Fugitives & quickly became the most violent & vicious among their ranks, taking part in a myriad of criminal activities - ranging from the manufacture/distribution of drugs, weapons smuggling, bank robbery, grand larceny, extortion, kidnapping & contract murder. During what they believed to be a routine smash & grab at a storage warehouse, Throttle & 2 other Fugitive members, stumbled upon what turned out to be a top secret military "skunkworks" weapons cache facility, where they discovered a functional prototype hoverbike & a stockpile of experimental weapons. Quickly recognizing the potential impact that such a piece of hardware could have on their criminal endeavors, Throttle boosted it & has begun utilizing the machine as his personal attack craft. Word of The Fugitives recent high profile crime spree has trickled down to the Everglades & the Dreadnoks are very interested in finding this crew & the hoverbike rider in particular... |

Kick Ass! Great Looking Figure and Bike, It looks like its out of a Gi Joe SyFy Movie like "GI Joe vs Tron" or "GI JOE vs DISTRICT 9"

Very cool. A lot of great ideas in this. Is the helmet a resolute duke one, with goggles and some fabrication for the visor?
Recipe for the whole fig?

Helmet is from RoC AirRaid - goggles from fodder & visor is actually shoulder armor from 6" Spawn Commando - recipe... torso is RoC BeachHead (I think...) - upper arms PoC Dusty - lower arms & legs PoC Tornado Kick SE (knees from PoC Dusty) - vest is from RoC AquaViper Officer w/ the back of Tornado Kick SE placed on the front - been awhile so I'm goin' from memory clouded by beers & other sh1+... Hover bike is Maisto Ducati 848 die-cast w/ wings from RoC vehicle??? & tons of fodder bits...

I've had in mind to create a hover biker for a 'nok. In my mind it seemed like something Zartan would steal from M.A.R.S.'s experimental department. However, I probably would have cheaped out and modded a Star Wars bike and not went full tilt boogie on that Ducati like you did. Very nice. I like how the colors compliment the figure and the bike together. Sway.

Looking again (and again) at the figure, I like the "face" on his chest plate. Nice.
