This is a very rare Coke poster that was an ad published in South Australia in the 1980s. At least, this is what a guy who sells it on eBay says.

Of course, when the drawing was finally noticed, all posters were at once recalled and the artist was fired and sued.

These motorcycles are produced by Confederate Motor Company. They are rare, rebellious and cost a lot of money. They look like a picture that became a reality. Some people don’t like the design, but I am in love with most of the models of Confederate motorcycles, and I’d love to ride one of these.
