Fashion model's bike stunts

A stunning model has become Britain's only professional female stunt motorcyclist.

Chesca Miles, 22, who feels more comfortable on a 600cc motorcycle than she does in front of the camera, says she has had to fight prejudice to achieve her dreams.

She explained: "It's been tough and I have not had much support. The girls are jealous and the boys resent the fact that I am woman who can ride a bike as well as or better than them."

"I love being on the catwalk and in front of the camera but not as much as being on a bike."

The beauty began riding at the age of 14 and now performs at stunt shows all over the country between her modelling stints.
