blame VW for that one. they didn't want their precious Beetle to be associated with violence.
Didn't Hitler originally request for the Beetle's design?

Push away from the puter and learn some people skills.

Sorry, but i've been having some witnessing some very HEAVY-HANDED behavior by moderators in a NUMBER of forums. i've been on the net since it's training-wheels, text-based days, and the problem only seems to be getting worse. After almost 20 years, it gets old REALLY quick.
BTW, silver, LOVE the avatar!
well here at flashkit the mods are pretty fair, if you have an issue with them take it up with them in private, public arguements with mods never end well. everyone(mostly) are pretty easy going and we rip on each other daily. gotta have a thick hide for the coffee lounge to be fun
gooup, it's the CL. we're just here to have fun.
and if you notice, I did state something earlier about the fact that VW wouldn't be lending its car to the movie due to violence, right here in fact...
Bumblebee won't be a Beetle?!
it's a last second surprise... he will be a beetle. I just heard it from the same guy that directed that lovely story starting Lindsay Lohan, Herbie Love Bug.
He said it, to my mother's first cousin that lives right off Sunset Blvd.... Idaho. I believe him to be telling the truth.
gooup, have you seen the latest pictures of the movie mock ups?
nice
Now THAT is funny! Kudos! i can take one on the chin!

as MarkP.com stated...I believe this was he believed the design to be helpful for rolling the cars right side up again after bombings and being flipped (for whatever reason)Quote:

3.) I'd prefer bumble bee to be a VW...just for nostalgic reasons...and that bit of retro...
4.) anyone got alist fo other characters to make cameos??
Like the ambulance (cant remember is name) or Jazz, Bluestreak, Bumblebee, Brawn??
Rachet, Jazz and Ironhide are definitely in.
I have to admit, OP is growing on me - in robot mode at least.
atRax, where'd you find these?
You sure that's not Rodimus Prime?
i heard megatron was going to be a ps3 now. he might not arrive in time for the movie:(
WannaBe-Prime

well youve got a frame..no problem! :) Just need a motor. If you werent such a big dude... finding an old Buell for like $1-1500 ripping out the motor..(putting the rest back on ebay... getting about $800 back or so...) and an after market frame would be the way to go.. Actually it still might be.. looking at these pics.
http://www.mcworx.com/sportsters.html
some of those dude arent small. and all of those run the same engines as Buell/Sportsters.. and I got a line on a frame maker..make you any size frame ya need fully tig welded fro only $800...$600 if you only need it takced and you wanna finish the welds yourself (unless you got a jig/frame table I would pay the $200 bones) ;)
This is the way Im going!!! and here the EXACT bike Im building too..
http://www.shortyinc.com/cpg132/albu...orty%20Inc.jpg
http://www.shortyinc.com/cpg132/albu...orty%20Inc.jpg
that is the exact style bike I want dude.
getting similar frame for $800..and am keeping my eye out for a cheap Buell DONOR bike to use for a motor.. actually you can ALOT more form the bike too..like the brake calipers..front end..etc..etc.. actually Im sure he'll put any kind of motor moounts you want on the frame..so ANY engine you got will work..LOL
dude. I'm so copying/pasting those images... that's the exact bike I want. maybe only color aside - I don't like the red seat - that's... exactly the style I want.
I could care less about the seat as well....
hell thats an AFTER thought...LOL I like that clutch/shifter set-up...not sure how it would be ina practical set-up though...still 'sic' though. I just gotta keep my eyes open for that DONOR bike now..LOL
maybe some FK memebers here have a local hook up on a beat-up used BUELL (usually cheapies/cheapest)..in their garage or neightbor..used your 'clout' here to get these kiddies 'searching' Gerbs.. ;)
clout? dude, there's no clout here.
Whispers... have you done any electric conversions on bikes yet? I've been reading about a lot of them recently!
oh really? have any links dude!?Quote:

Ive personally NOT done either... I hate FI carbs... and havent had an old enough bike to convert from kick.
or are you actually talking about replacing the combustion motor with an electric one? If so..I have never even seen an electric motorcycle engine yet.

I hope your joking....
the MPG's is 'rubbish'..and the horsepoer is less than a joke. A stock HD engine come in at like 60-70 hp I believe... with no tweaks.
Dont get me wrong..I totally believe in the electric engine.....it is WAY stronger than any combustion engine (and faster)...just not practical or consumer friendly. and next to NILL for motorcycle stuff.
I guess that RIDE FREE moto for riders is gone...as well as the cross country rides...gotta be home to recharge! LOL
