Wow, three-wheeled bikes really were at plague proportions at the turn of the millenium, weren't they?
Love how the bike’s just about to drive straight off that tiny podium held up higher than several skyscrapers.
You can almost hear the conversation in the design room...
"BIKE BURNER!"
"But it's a trike."
"But ALLITERATION though!"

I don't know how and I don't know why, but I have it. I'm usually pretty selective about what I buy. This must have been a gift...

You missed the power jump arrows it just hit projecting it across the jump!

Hmm... second obscure, ugly technic set in two days.
Huwbot’s up to something...
I have this set, given to me by my boys that year for my birthday. At the time there were only two kids and they were 5 and 3 so that's who this appealed to. This makes me want to put it together again. =-)
First fire helicopter, now bike burner, what next Inferno Car?
