(yeah this is a fluff post but there's a cool link you've got to see)
I ordered a Kyosho radio controlled motorcycle a couple of weeks ago from a dealer in Hong Kong. Today the post office left a slip in my mail box telling me to come by to pick up 2 packages. Hopefully one is the bike!
Some of you may be familiar with the Kyosho bikes. It's a 1:8 scale Suzuki race bike. What's really cool is that the rider actually moves with the bike. While Kyosho discontinued the bikes, there's still plenty of models available on ebay and plenty of hop-up parts available. I also ordered the optional chrome-plated frame, high grip tires, and oil-filled front forks and rear shock absorber.
Next bike is going to be a Thunder Tiger 1:5 scale r/c motorcycle.
After that, the Pumilio Tiempo. It's a 1:5 scale gas-powered r/c bike. The coolest thing about this one is the radical steering design. Check out the bike:

Anyone else here ever race r/c bikes?
Mike.
whatever...
