The Copperhead concept is one crazy crotch rocket

The Copperhead concept motorcycle by Lino Martins (Lino M) looks as though it is getting ready to kill. Lino himself call it his first steampunk creation, but I’m not so sure I agree. Yes, he has used copper and rust-coloured elements in the build, but it looks too futuristic and at the same time too plausible to be steampunk in my book.

Copperhead Steampunk Bike

I’m reminded of something else entirely. I used to watch the American Chopper TV-show, before I got fed up with all the drama, but I admire the artistry in the way they shaped metal to follow the particular theme of their builds. To me the Copperhead looks like the end result of American Chopper paying tribute to H.R. Giger.

A Pixelated Bike for a Pixelated Life

I’m not always a fan of the super-pixelated look; I enjoy the challenge of taking the inherently blocky LEGO bricks and sculpting them into smooth forms. But sometimes, someone builds something blockily, and it works marvelously. Case in point is this gorgeous motorcycle by Silva Vasil, which he says is based on a life-sized pixelated bike.

“On the fringe, blood and bullets are the rule of law and if you’re a man with conviction violence is inevitable.”

Try to avoid any unnecessary blow-back, constant reader, as you feast your bleary eyes on this 1:10 scale Street-Glide Special as featured on the biker-gang T.V. series Sons of Anarchy. The builder is one-percenter bricksonwheels who brings his signature style and skill to one of the bikes favored by protagonist Jax Teller. Now grab your ape-hangars and hit the road, we’ve got trouble with the Mayans.

Here comes the BOOM!

74louloute brings the noise on a Friday night with his tribute to Wade Winston Wilson, better known to nerds everywhere as the disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary called Deadpool. Almost lost in the epic explosion is one nifty little motorcycle design. BOOM!

BoOom !!

The Kawasaki Vulcan is ready to cruise

Harley Davidson is still going strong, but in the sixties competition by Japanese motorcycle manufacturers almost drove them out of business. Japanese bikes, such as this Kawasaki Vulcan modeled by LegoMarat, don’t have the same ‘swag’ as hogs, but there’s something to be said for a bike that works every time you start it and that doesn’t make your teeth rattle when idling (or so I’ve been told). Irrespective of whether you like Japanese bikes or not, this one does make for a very nice model.

version with bags and windshield

When I first saw it, I wasn’t quite sure I was looking at LEGO. Part of that is due to the windscreen, which indeed isn’t LEGO, but it’s also because of the nice amount of chrome, clever combination of parts for the headlight and just the right level of detail.

“This all happened because you took my bike for a spin.”

Weekend regular F@bz brings you the next featured model on TBB with the speedy Honda Exile. This futuristic beast would look right at home on the streets of Neo-Tokyo circa 2019. The model also sports Chima Wheels which Brother Chris so eloquently and accurately referred to as “transfixing” a few days ago. Chima wheels are the new hot commodity; Brick Link vendors will no doubt adjust the price accordingly. Is nothing cheap anymore?!

The Little Bike that Could

This miniature motorbike is representative of everything that makes this a great hobby. It was built spur-of-the-moment with random pieces, while hanging out with friends, and incorporates uses and connections that LEGO never intended. Jonas claims that it is just a bit of “tablescrap”, LEGO fan jargon for something thrown together from various pieces that are leftover after a “real” build, but I think it is quite a bit more than that. It takes a good builder to come up with something like this on a dare, with an odd assortment of bits. Tablescrap? I don’t think so. Just a little bit of awesome mixed with a healthy dose of good times.

Ride the big slab on a Yamaha Horizon

TBB virgin F@bz just finished a fabulous new motorcycle and he’s handing you the keys. Don’t let the custom stickers fool you; this is a 100% LEGO fuel injected suicide machine! If Neo-Tokyo really is about to explode, ride the shockwave in style with the Yamaha Horizon

Anatomy of Speed: Lego Motorcycle by Silvavasil

We blogged Russian builder Silva Vasil‘s cool LEGO bicycle last month, but now he’s back with a super cool old-school motorcycle. I love how it looks like a transparent human anatomy model, with all the organs and veins showing in different colors.

The people’s motorcycle

This month’s LUGNuts build challenge, is called “Behind The Iron Curtain!” and is all about building vehicles from (former) communist countries.

Russian Ural 2

Rather than a Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, the sort of thing Lino Martins (Lino M) normally builds for these challenges, he now brings us something rather more utilitarian and military: a classic Ural motorcycle as used by the Red Army during WW-II, built in olive green and black. Not one to forego flashy colours, he presents it together with a brick-built Soviet Flag. Classy!

A cuter scooter

Karwik is no stranger to two-wheel creations but I think these latest scooters are some of his cutest. The use of the hollow 1×2 slope brick is the cleverness that makes these work.

Karwik hits the road

Karwik’s chopper is a little beauty. It embodies the main element of a good build: Simplicity. It has clever parts use but doesn’t overdo it. All too often builders keep tacking bits onto a build and don’t know when to stop. Karwik does and it shows.
