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 MOC for all occasions!

Kawazaki eh? :)


Not really.  It wasn't designed after any particular bike, I just liked the
name.  Maybe it's a future model :)

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.

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 Belleville fig, I could fit one in the
seat and see how it works.


Also, the "seat" is unreal. But so are the Minifig horse saddles :)

Yeah, I know.  You try getting a technic fig to straddle a realistically shaped
seat :)


I like the new colors, too bad it takes a while (or a lot of cash) to get a
decent supply of them.

Nah, just buy a couple of copies of the right set.  Or get a wealthy benefactor
;)
