2018 to 2019 Motorcycle Group Build is Timeless. Bikes will be with us til the end of time
Posted by greentracker98 on Sunday, June 17, 2018 8:56 PM

 

2018 to 2019 Motorcycle Group Build

I'm going to keep the rules here simple 

Beginning date is Saturday 12:01 am September 1 2018
I said end date was March 1 2019. I'm changing this. there is no end date. Like other things Bikes are endless. They will be here forever.

Now It is 2 days aways from the original end date. I should've thought in the beginning we will never be without the freedom of the bikes. Enjoy the builds everyone

Crossovers are allowed Any and all aftermarket Bling you want to throw at it is the more the merrier.
I'm going to limit this to no more than 3 wheels. If anyone has any reasons for doing more, let me know, we can discuss it. 

Our bikes cannot have a closed cockpit

Here is the Badge I picked. If you want to make one of your own. you're more than welcome to.

Another Badge if interested

Entry list

If you want to change anythinge or add let me know. there are a couple that need to let me know what they will be building

Ken,

Put me down with the 1/25 Moebius Bat-Pod.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Not a badge guy, but I like a more racing approach.

Great choice Bruce. Mine will be a MotoGP bike too, but I've gotta check the stash to confirm it.

Cheers

That's a nice job.  I didn't get the tricolor version.  My kit is overall red, but man that one looks nice.  Maybe build both :o

Invertman,

Do you have the need for speed? 

That would be a really cool build!

Hi every one are you all ready to get to building your bikes? I am!

My apologies for my absence. I fell down a couple of step and really messed up my arm and my feet.  I didn't break anything. but I couldn't do much of anything for a while. Things are still swollen, but not like they were. So, now,  I'm getting anxious to get back to the bench.

Whoa!  I hope you have a speedy recovery.  I'm sure, like me, everyone is in the starting blocks ready to build.  Take care of yourself and we're 18 days from snipping, glueing and painting.

Thanks,

John

Thanks keav. things are feeling quite a bit better now now. So. I should be ready to go on the 1st. I've never built a bike before, so I'm anxious to see how it goes. Cool

Ken,

Very sorry to hear about your fall. But, I'm glad you are recovering well. 

I won't be starting my bike build right away, I have to finish a few other GB's before I do. But, I am looking forward to seeing the progress of the other builds. This will be my first motorcycle build as well.
