A black chopper.
Motorcycles are hard to create with LEGO parts. They are much more fragile than cars, there isn't much room available and they are always falling. However, I was able to complete this one in two days.
It doesn't use many parts (no need for Bricklink), it has no complicated functions and I'm very happy with the result. The only thing I would like to change is the front tire, but I didn't want to buy one because part can take a long time to arrive.
It was my last entry for the LUGNuts 30th Challenge:

The Raleigh Chopper is a children's bicycle, a wheelie bike, manufactured and marketed in the 1970s by the Raleigh Bicycle Company of Nottingham, England. Its unique design became a cultural icon and is fondly remembered by many who grew up in that period. The design was influenced by dragsters, motorbikes, beach buggys, and even chariots, as can be seen on the centre page of the 1969 Raleigh US catalog.
My customer wanted blue metalflake with an egyptian theme. I airbrushed a gold King Tut on the rear of the front fender.

Stikfas custom by Jan Calleja. Made from a T-rex Stikfas kit, 2 Stikfas Alpha males, a mini stikfas bear, epoxy and lots of scratch materials. All joints are working Stikfas joints (all 20 of them), except 3 which are located in the tail. Some joints are supported by scratch made working pistons because of the load they carry. Wings are made from stikfas joints, stikfas plastic rods, styrene sheet and epoxy.
Inspired by DISCOVERY channel's OC Choppers' designs and other Big Bike shows on TURBO ( and my daughter's broken T-rex stikfas), Jurassic Chopper is a concept Dragon/Mecha-Chopper.
Just some quick pics of James on his latest Chopper Build. Finished two days and already has five interested buyers.
Chopper has been lived in the Arizona desert too long. He wants nothing to do with the grass in my mother's back yard. He'd head for the gravel around the edges whenever he had to go to the bathroom.
When I was driving home from Ohio I kept seeing this same chopper on a trailer passing me and me passing him for about 200 miles - it was is a nice looking bike.
