What's worse is that the teflon sliders must be worn, I don't think I can get them from Suzuki, so, off to the Lathe!! They did last two years, which isn't too bad. :)

I remember StreetHawk and Highwayman. Both short lived but cool shows. Didn't they have more than one futuristic truck in Highwayman?

Yeah, right! It's been so long since I saw the show, I almost forgot.

Hello, fans!

Here I give you the latest news on the Turbocycle. I have revised the curvature on the main frame and added some details like the engines and the exhaust pipe. The overall shape looks fairly good and should be an easy build, so I think this will be the final one. The first grip was rejected because I noticed too late that the grip I used as a model was shown upside down so that the result didn't fit. I'm now making a new one and try to incorporate the parallelogram which enables you to turn the wheel. I hope it will work at this scale. Stay tuned! :wave:

The CGI looks really good. It looks like it will be a fun build.
I am looking forward to trying my hand at it.

I only hope I'll be able to flesh out that handle. It's pretty tricky.

UNFORTUNATELY the bike will not be in scale with the Viper; it's going to be in 1/6 scale and a Viper of that size wouldn't fit in my living room..! :mrgreen:
But there will be a simplified 1/32 scale version and maybe a CG file for 3d printing. And the 2-seater Viper is coming, too, if you want it or not! :twisted:
