SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine, July 24, 2010 (AFP) - Leaving a cloud of dust in his wake, a black-clad Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin roared into a rally in Ukraine on a Harley Davidson and hailed bikes as a "symbol of freedom".

Putin drove into the rally of bikers on the southern Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea astride a gigantic three-wheeled Lehman trike conversion Harley Davidson motorbike, wearing dark glasses and waving his black gloved hands.

Cool, too bad Putin is not the POTUS and a strong supporter of the US Constitution and the beliefs of the Founders for individual Liberty.

For all his faults, Putin can certainly be one cool dude.

I dont trust the SOB but I have to admire his style. If I could throw back a couple of beers with any world leader it would have to be him. And Bibi too.

Zer0 needs to learn to “Pump ‘em up”. Especially the rear tire.

"Without any exaggeration you can say that a bike is a symbol of freedom," added the Russian strongman.

This is a shot across our bow, in the strictly cultural sense.

I could picture GHWB doing something like this.

He knows what looking like a wimp(Obama) does. Besides, wasn’t he KGB? I guess he’s not worried about his carbon footprint.

"It's the boldest, the quickest transport and gives the biker the sweet feeling of freedom," said Putin.

Another thug perverts the word "freedom" by pretending he cares about it...for anyone but those in charge anyways...just like U.S. Democrats.

Yep. You can get them straight from the Harley factory these days.
