Adding to the already exorbitant amount of incredible custom-made Star Wars accessories out there is the Boba Fett BMW motorcycle.
Bikers have lots of hobbies -- buying leather, getting tattoos, intimidating the elderly, and, of course, watching iconic science fiction movies. Well maybe that last one isn't characteristic of all bikers, but it certainly is of Redditor Tatoodle who went to extreme lengths to make her Boba Fett BMW motorcycle.
In addition to Mandalorian decals and a Garmin GPS that proudly displays the Star Wars logo, the bike also features a red and green paint job with simulated carbon scoring that makes it very reminiscent of the Slave 1 spacecraft piloted by Boba Fett in the movies.
And, to top it all off, there's even a specially painted Boba Fett motorcycle helmet to help the rider look and feel like they're the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy.
