 | | Technic scale bike fun

| While Bram was at my house building his II-Blade, I set to work on my first Technic Fig scale bike. Ostensibly it's a turbocycle, and part of my turbocycle league. However, it's more of a miniland or techic model by scale, and town by theme. It's a (...) (21 years ago, 19-Oct-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) Although I initially thought lime green had no use whatsoever, it looks perfect on a sporty bike like this. It's still enourmous for a Technic fig, but looks a little more to scale than a minifig on a turbocycle. Keep on SNOTin' --Bram (21 years ago, 19-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) Very nice. Actually, it stands as a great rendition of a current-day sports bike too... not to mention a very clever use of lime-green elements. I know that colour doesn't currently constitute a particularly large range of elements. Believe (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) Thanks. Surprisingly enough, this set here: [LEGOSet 4095] Has a fair number of lime green parts, including the wheels I used on the Samurai. Eric Sophie gave me the lime green parts from one of these as he was driving back through town after (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) I think you failed the Technic scale modern motorcycle scale thing, but it's still a good MOC! Perhaps the Belville figures is a better fit? I recall something about them being bigger. Also, the "seat" is unreal. But so are the Minifig horse (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

| (...) Not really. It wasn't designed after any particular bike, I just liked the name. Maybe it's a future model :) (...) True, it is a bit larger than I'd wanted, but the size was set by those wheels, which are on the large size. If I had a (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

| (...) That's an idea, but this kit would be extremely expensive! I could probably make it in other colors if those wheels were only offered in something other than lime green. It certainly is food for thought, though... Thanks Adrian (URL) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

| (...) I refered to the colors, not the name. But I see now that there in fact were some Kawasaki Samurai, looks like late 60's. (...) Yeah, the wheels always dictate the size. (...) Ooops! Leg cracked! j/k. (...) Bying "a couple of copies" usually (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.town)
