Crazy bike, SOMEONE has to make
« on: February 29, 2008, 03:52:27 PM »
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?

Could it actually work (with regard to balancing)?

Fun design and great execution, anyway. Wouldn´t look too out of place for a dieselpunk wacky inventor.

I'm sure there are some motorised unicycles in the Infinity range. A bit more manga-inspired scifi than this, but someone might be able to retrofit one? Maybe?

Yeah, and I remember slagging them off for being too silly and outlandish.

I take it all back!  :)

I always love unicycle type motorbikes. And I am trying to get a minis line started...

But it's been tough getting sculptors to even return my emails sadly.

Looks quite cool, if only it had a steam engine. :lol:
