Yes they do, but they don't spend all day polishing it and taking pictures then posting them online along with statistics about how fast they are Wink

Tis' the nature of the forum. Loads of kiddie wannabes on mopeds and weekend warriors with 30 days of posting before the next dry weekend day.Laughing

Actually there are a number on here that do ride different to the norm bikes, I guess they don't feel the need to post pics of their bikes every 30 seconds.

Of course, it's still covered in plastic and runs out of steam at about 115mph.

That's more like it! More everyone please Wink

It might be covered in plastic, but it's not built for 4' 6" midgets and doesn't look like it does 5 million MPH when stood still Laughing

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

You don't go to the Isle of Wight with your monkey bike gang and terrorise the poor population do you?

Pourquoi Troll Question Very Happy
I like the look of these plastic missiles, but I like bikes with a bit of character more...The same applies with cars and airyplanes with me too Wink
...plus I can't fit on these rocket-ships either Laughing

Looks like there ARE some 'different' bikes out there after all...keep the great pics coming!

That monkey bike looks fun too...tad too small for me though I think Wink
