Anyone interested in a 2 wheel campaign. Choppers,sport, tourers. You get my drift?

I've got some waiting to be built. I'm overbooked on campaigns at the moment, but I want to join this one, for that push to get at least one out of my stash and onto a display shelf.
I have a Tamiya Suzuki police bike that I want to modify to represent the '83 GS650L that I once owned.
Otherwise, I have a Harley that's the same model as my boss's, but one year off, so the engine and pipes would have to be reworked-- not sure about that. At least I have easy access to prototype photos.

If a sidecar bike is acceptable I am in. If not I will modify it to just two wheels.

Darrell side car would be fine as long as there is a bike attached lol.

I think rather than 2 wheel campaign, motorcycle campaign. But no 3 wheelers. So a trike would be okay, but no enclosed 3 wheelers. Couldn't bare a reliant robin lol.

Wind in your hair campaign ?

Did somebody say military?

I'm considering a BMW R75 w/sidecar or a Zundapp Ks-750 w/sidecar.

Would a tee-tiny Tamiya 1/35 Zundapp be okay?

Will do Richard.

And yes Mike military would be fine, there are plenty of options too.

Mark yes that would be fine buddy.

A couple more and I will ask if we are a goer.

What time scale would you all be happy with?
And what start date suits you all?

Ko it was my idea to have motorcycles, but cycles are where motorcycles started so why not.

Hi Pete – You seem to have two of these going … “Bike Campaign” and “2 wheel campaign (wind in your hair)” and bicycles are now included under the “Motorcycles” heading.

Not to confuse matters more but I have a humble suggestion: One Campaign for “motorized bikes” and a separate campaign for “non-motorized bikes.” Not nay-saying, I'm actually fine with all combined. Whatever you decide, I’m in for both types!

Hi Mike
As this was going to end up a campaign in auto and armourama it will prob go into kitmaker general. So that is why I allowed bicycles mate. It isn't approved yet but I would think it will be a new thread if it is allowed. Only hosted a few campaigns so still learning. I am sure the editor will keep me right.
