Pulp Motorcyclists

[Johnnytodd]

In hopes of generating interest in the mfg of pulp motorcyclists, I thought I'd start a thread to post some ideas.  Here's one showing Chinese troops on Harley Davidsons in the early '30s:

I would also like to see some egyptian policemen (you know those with fez, similar to Pulp Miniatures Istanbul Constabulary) on motorcycles:

I've been wondering about the suitability of BAM's WWII Harleys and how difficult it would be to equip them with side cars, but then I realize how little I want to convert the riders.

Maybe I'll put one of Copplestone's pilots in the side car.

[Mancha]

I agree!  Lifted this en-masse from where I posted it in another thread.

I'd also love almost any 1920s/30s miniatures on motorcycles, including these machine gun hacks:





In fact, I don't know how Pulp Figures could even contemplate making pulp police without a police Harley and sidehack:





For that matter, Company B should make one of the armored Harleys I've seen a few pics of:

I have to throw in this old post as well:

Someone on my motorcycle forum posted this crazy motorcycle and I felt it was my responsibility to show it here.  Not sure if I've chosen the appropriate folder though.



I can easily see someone wearing a flyer's cap piloting this thing through mountain passes, chasing after a German zepellin.  I wonder if we could get Artizan to knock one out?

Gotta add that this is the best motorcycle mini out there, from Great War Miniatures:



With sort of a generic riding outfit, he could probably be converted in a variety of ways.

Rafm has these motorcycle cops (sculpted by Bob Murch, if I am not mistaken):

Wasn't there one for TE Lawrence some years back? That Great War Miniatures one looks as if it might suit my East Africa force with a head change to give the rider a solar topee or Wolseley helmet.

Egyptian police on bikes - yes please!

I like the gorrilla on a motiorbike that Artisan (I think) do.

Sad thing is it's part of a set.  I would like a squad, but haven't got any need for the rest of the figures in multiples.

Hope someone produces it as a single or pack.

I totally agree.  I finally bought the set just to have the bike, and only because I had a gift certificate of sorts.

I agree with the above. I always wanted a couple for my chinese armies, but there is no use of the the rest figures. Let's hope to have some luck in the the future!
