Thanks! They were a challenge. Especially to get all the parts to fit
together. When I dis-assembled the base and the body, the base distorted
slightly, and I had to find another assembled bike.

ok.

It was the only one that made much sense... Will the 2 wheel motorbike go
here too? I believe someone else is nearly finished with it.

I personally like Tricycle, but I had a suggestion to change it, so I did.

The more I think about it, I don't think it should be there(Minifig).

Cycles, other vehicles?

I actually had a "0" in them, and I think I noticed a few other parts that
didn't have it, so I removed it. It's pretty easy to change it.

Ok. I agree.

Should the minifig be a shortcut as well, or all the minifig pieces with the
bike in one file? The head will need to be verticle for helmet placement, if
possible, right?

ok, I'll add them. :-)

This is what I thought... The few we had all had white wheels, however, we
had some yellow wheels that came on other sets. I didn't check to see if
other sets had white or other color wheels.

Should I change these to "0" for black? :-\
