A tanned dark-haired man and a blonde woman in a red dress are drawn mid-collision, both with arms flung out horizontally, tangled around a red motorcycle whose chrome forks and big white headlamp fill the lower half. Behind them, huge squeezed red block letters spelling the title are partly hidden by the woman's outstretched pointing arm. A black rectangular score panel with a row of reel windows sits in the upper right, framed by a red border, and a sharp yellow zigzag arrow slices diagonally across the centre of the art.

A comic-style backglass under a yellowed cream outer border and thin black frame, on a bright mid-blue sky with a bank of white cumulus cloud at lower left. Two cartoon characters collide mid-air on a motorcycle: at upper left a blonde woman in a short red dress with a zig-zag hem, long yellow gloves, blue eyeshadow and red lips, one arm thrust straight out to the right with her index finger pointing; at centre-right a tanned man with slicked-back black hair, a green short-sleeved shirt and a red tie, both arms flung out, mouth open. A large yellow lightning-bolt arrow shape cuts diagonally across the middle. The motorcycle is a red, chrome and magenta machine with a big white headlamp, chrome forks and a red mudguard, angled nose-down to the right. Upper right is a black rectangular score panel with a row of six white reel windows, and a large red block lettered title behind the woman's arm. A yellow diagonal panel in the lower right corner carries black lettering.
