Vinnie, full name possibly being Vincent, is one of the main characters voiced by Ian Ziering and the resident hothead of the Biker Mice trio. The white-furred thrill-seeker and self-proclaimed lady-killer among the trio, a classic example of an egomaniac (with an inferiority complex, especially during his early days as a Freedom Fighter). The right side of his face was burned off in the same incident where Throttle lost his sight and Modo lost his right arm, thus he wears a flexible faceplate. Vinnie rides a red sport bike in contrast to the others' cruisers, and is the most active of the three, often volunteering for the most dangerous tasks, enjoying the rush and subsequent glory and bragging rights. He wears a green cross-belt on his chest and wields expandable flares that were made by Harley. His bike seems to have the greatest arsenal of weaponry between the three, and he is the best overall biker of the trio. He has a recurring catchphrase, "What a rush!", and has a signature laugh of triumph. Vinnie is definitely the wildest, most fun-loving and egotistical of the group; all three are adrenaline junkies, but even Throttle and Modo cannot understand how he is still alive, considering the risks he takes. Despite his "hyper-masculinity", Vinnie is actually a very loving and caring individual. He flirts endlessly with Charley, who's constantly rebuffs him, but anytime she does reciprocate, Vinnie can only blush in extreme shyness. Vinnie has a near-pathological loathing for cheese, though he, like the rest of the Biker Mice, enjoys eating hot dogs.
Rock and Roll Music[]
Vinnie was the main mouse in the oneshot as he jammed to the Beach Boys' hit of the same name. As a way to cheer up Ikran's younger self-narrator as she was struggling on critical thinking questions in her grammar reading class.
The Myth of Mars[]
He was mentioned subtly as a member of the Freedom Fighters protecting Mars and Chicago. With evidence of some leftover relics from the Biker Mice, Catatonians, and Plutarkians, they were evidence that life existed on the Red Planet! Thus, humanity evolved and migrated there! And the Mice had become extinct with the other races. While the Catatonian War ended, he lost his lover, Harley, as she sacrificed herself protecting the Regenerator.
Trivia[]
- Ever since she was a kid, Ikran always envisioned Vinnie singing the oldie, Rock and Roll Music by the Beach Boys! The leading singer sounds quite similar to him!
- He's 21 years old, allergic to cat fur, hates cheese and his motorcycle's name is Sweetheart.
- In one episode, he was born a fat, hairless mouse with a shot tail.
