if you're not tied to any origin - bolt action has german motorcycles (in addition to the US one mentioned by McMordian) - the sidecar one here

If you want an older looking motorbike, try these WWI dispatch riders from 1st Corps:

I've got them and I really like them, not painted them yet though.







Maybe using the last one you could have Phantom Ace riding the bike à la Steve McQueen in The Great Escape and Pulp Girl blasting away on the machine gun in the side-car?  :D

Thanks for all the great suggestions.  :D

One problem I'm having, is finding a bike that doesn't feel too small. Even the ones from Artizan's WWII range look too small to me.

When I set Phantom Ace next to one of these motorcycles, he makes it look like a child's scooter -- and he isn't even that big of a miniature.

Anyone have a photo of a decent sized bike next to Pulp Alley, Copplestone, Artizan pulp figure?

Does this help? (Sorry, I haven't finished painting Phantom Ace yet!) If you want a photo with just one bike for size comparison, just ask!  :D

Seems like the 1st Corps bike would fit just fine.

No pulp collection would be complete without them.  :D

Wouldn't they look "big' next to my (15 mm) figures?

 ;)

They look great but I am assiduously avoiding anything bigger than 15 mm now days.

Gracias,

Glenn

Hello all

Not exactly Phantom Ace but its close.
This is a Black tree design motorcycle with both german riders converted to a hero for pulp and a cientist rescued by him.
BTD motorcycles are the largest ones you can find and they have motorcycles with or without sidecar.
The other pic is with a Artizan figure at its side for size conparison.
Hope this helps.


Cheers

Rumacara
