nope spud,U.K.  just thought it would  make a change from "mutts nuts" or "dogs bollocks"  

[spudafett]

well alrighty then WN.... whatever you say! (nodds and smiles and says thanks)

check it out, here is the swoop gang's crippled mechanic:

[DocOutlands]

How does he get close enough to work on anything??

 

[narceron]

I thought biker-chicks WERE part of the contest... "swoop bike and rider(s)"   

And, to boot, I think everyone is overwhelmed with ideas and is making entire swoop-gangs!

So I got the only male rider, eh?

Spuda, I think something that would be fun would be a skiff for the gang, something that can travel quickly,mount some big  guns, some dancing girls, and the gang leader,

[DocOutlands]

Or carry the mechanic and tool collection.  Besides, if the gang is into pillaging, they need something to haul the loot.

There was a guy with a motorcycle repair shop back where I used to live.  He drove an old beat-up van.  Someone asked him why he didn't ride a motorcycle, since he worked on them.  Said there was NO WAY you'd get him on one of those suicide machines! 

[narceron]

hehe, I heard a similar story about a parachute rigger, lol.


Devin, maybe look at something called a dark eldar raider, very cool skiff.

[spudafett]

simon are you talking about this:



that is pretty cool.  Man If I had an exta skiff I'd do that.  It'd already crossed my mind that a skiff would fit in for the contest while looking at the boy's vehicles (they have a skiff). 

I have kept this idea in my head that my gang will be more of just  a bunch of hot headed swoop racers that do nothing but try to earn quick cash by betting and racing (and battling their droids).   

btw the mechanic only has the chair for moving around outside of the garage... I figured he'd just hobble around the garage, or use one of the roling slides to get under the machines and whatnot inside. 

thanks for the comments guys, I'm off to get started on finishing up some stuff

btw my contest entry rider is a dude.

[DocOutlands]

Very good ideas, all the way around!  So...your boys aren't the Hells Angels type, just hellions on repulsors?

[spudafett]

heres the start of their garage dio:





tell me what you think guys!  It's not finished of course.  I've got a bunch of tools to add to the shelves, all the speeder bikes to fit in there, a bunch of junk to pile in the corner and all kinds of greeblies....

[DocOutlands]

I'm jealous already!   

[Clonehead]

Nice start on the garage, Devon! Is the wife involved with this phase of the project?

[spudafett]

of course she is! lol she's been involved in about every phase of this project.  She's in there right now cutting out twi-lek pinup posters to put on the walls!    she's also finishing up her speeder bike. 

btw I need to go in there and get a photo of another bike I whipped up today... 

thanks guys, this garage dio though might not be big enough for all these freaking bikes! ha!  It looks realy good though with them all setting in it and the tools and scrap parts sitting around.

[Tamer]

What a great dio start Spudafett. I like it. I can see Orange County swoops already.

[narceron]

orange sector swoops, lol.

[spudafett]

orange parsec swoops?

lol fun stuff.

hey check this one out:  I decided that this bike worked alot better for my pony tailed gal than that regular old s-swoop.






the finished paint job on the chick is credit to my wife... she took it and said she was going to finish it. (and I quote her)  "you better let me do it, you'll just F@#$# it up devin!"  lol.  I'm glad I did let her!  She also claims that this chick is who is "dating" the leader of the gang which happens to be the rider for my contest entry....
