What is looking like an Inspection is in reality a search for Tiny Teddy in this Harley Shock Absorber. The two bears were on a walk through the neighborhood where they found this interesting "Spring" on a Harley motorbike. Curious Tiny Teddy was too tiny for this spring and fell through. HONDA came home crying and telling me what had happened. Fortunately we could get TINY out without any injuries.
And now the tiny little Trouble Maker got grounded for the rest of this week !

Spare set of shock absorbers for my model car to be used as a tuning aid as they have different pistons from the kit spec shocks, with different tension springs too.
Question: What do you call a careless electrician?
When the electrician was finally able to get rid of that shocking charge, was he ex-static ???
Extensively used by NASA in the 22nd Century when exploring foreign planets, this heavy duty rover is well adapted to many different types of terrain, making it an ideal vehicle for scouting planets whose topography is unknown. Advanced shock absorbers can make any landscape feel as smooth as glass for the driver, and a spacious rear compartment allows for storage of essential tools and collected samples with room to spare.

A rather quick build made after hearing that this year's Brickfair theme was NASA. Unfortunately, all the MOCs at the NASA table seemed to be recreations of current technology, so i kept this with me at my area of the space table.
It can, of course, fit a driver, and features working shocks and an opening trunk. Now it's going to be taken apart so I can finish some other, better MOCs that are coming ;)
Enjoy!

"Sticker Shocked..." refers not only to the stickers (decals) with which I have festooned my bike, but also my sticker shock when I found out how much my new shock absorbers for the bike were going to cost me. The price of a well-maintained bike. Ride on!
