Ogri
Ogri is a comic series drawn by cartoonist Paul Sample formerly featured in Bike magazine and now (since 2009) in Back Street Heroes). (There was a short interregnum in Bike in the 1980s in which a comic series named Bloodrunners managed neither to sustain interesting storylines based on the exploits of medical couriers nor to appeal to the readers to the series to anything like the same extent as Ogri; it is now a webcomic).
The titular character is a British biker. He's big, tough, incredibly strong and amazingly skilled with a motorbike. He usually works in motorbike-related jobs (mechanic, taxi driver, courier, etc.) and most of his life revolves around them. Usually with Ogri are his incredibly hot Biker Babe girlfriend, Mitzi, and his completely inept friend, Malcolm. Their main problems are bike thieves, traffic officers, dangerous drivers and public paranoia -- although Malcolm's ineptitude has frequently been a problem to Ogri with consequences ranging from destruction of bikes to loss of jobs.
For many years Ogri's regular mount was a custom Norvin (Norton frame, Vincent engine) called Armageddon, until he sold it to a collector to raise money for other biking projects.
As a metaphor, Ogri represents everything a biker wants to be, while Malcolm represents what most bikers really are (to an extent).
