Akira style project ** 'Stolen' mech 23.11.16**

Thanks chaps 

Over the last few years I have accepted that I dont have the patience for large projects like this, I need to chop and change or I burn out.

I don't have the patience either but I do know I'll come back to the big projects every now and then after a long break 

cheers

I agree, I flit between projects all to quickly and only by anouncing, I will do this project for a convention drives me to finish them. Otherwise I cycle through the larger projects I have started slowly driving them forward...

What kind of bike are you aiming for. A sports bike? Some sort of bike for your citizens to commute around in?

Initially a sporty road bike, fairly generic but hopefully with a futuristic air.

Then it'll be more mundane scooters and mopeds (again, with a slightly futuristic look to them).

That's the plan anyway

What about chaps to ride them, or are they going to be parked up?

Yes, I'm going to have to look for a sculptor to do some

Yep, pretty much sums up my 'method'....

Are they Infinity bikes?

cheers

Have you designed them in CAD by any chance? 

Looks like the sort of stuff our 'engineers' come up with for me to ride..

If you're looking for futuristic look at images of a GTS 1000 or the Britten race bike. Both have hub centre suspension systems. Way before their time. More akin to Akira than the forks and swingarms we use nowadays.

Yep, Kum Bikers. Told you the name was unfortunate.

[commissarmoody]

Yes they are Infinity bikers "Kum motorized troops"

Well, I ain't no product designer by any long shot 

I've had a look at concept bikes and will take bits and peices that seem to suit what I'm after

The new Ariel may fit in with the theme as a road bike.
