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.
Bricksonwheels has a well-deserved reputation for building beautifully crafted trucks, cars and motorcycles. However, even the best trucks break down some times. “The Mighty Thor” will be on the scene in no time. This wrecker includes all the details that we’ve come to expect from this builder. It includes side hatches, safety cones, three-stage stinger and a crane. The chrome bits are always nice too.
Bricksonwheels has taken a break from building massive big-rigs for a return to massively awesome motorcycles. Here’s his very shiny Hog.

The new Ningjago line isn’t the only place to find cool LEGO skeletons and choppers. Check out this new creation by Karf Oohlu.
For me, the little road scene is as notable as the motorcycle itself. The irregular shape lends a sense of being torn straight out of a larger scene. The hair choice for the rider also adds a sense of fire, reminding me of Ghost Rider.
Brickshelf user Elex presents a sculpture of Miss Piggy on her motorcycle measuring 104 studs wide and 65 bricks tall. There’s a commentary page and a well-documented construction journal with detailed photos showing the building process. This is the most pink I’ve seen in a fan-built creation.
T.Oechsner still has the Neo Classic Space bug, and now he’s spread the theme to a motorcycle. He’s captured the look perfectly. He’s used old school bubble shaped tires, managed to create a frame over fender look. He’s also managed to get the right chunky and functional look common to that theme. Also, the red just looks sharp.
In the meantime, I built a far less impressive rocketbike. I guess bike fever has different effects on different people.
That powerhouse of a builder, Michael Jasper, has been building choppers. In his usual fashion, he’s been building a lot of them and using all sorts of different pieces in unusual ways. Check out the whole gallery for some lovely eye-candy.
We’ve blogged our share of LEGO motorcycles over the years, but it’s always a pleasure to find someone new who contributes his or her own unique style to these two-wheeled death machines.
Brixe (Brixe63 on Flickr) builds in a medium scale somewhere between the minifig and Miniland scales we’ve seen more commonly.

Check out lots more angles on these bad beauties on either Brickshelf or Flickr.
Or perhaps from the future. Spook‘s new motorcycle certainly looks high-tech, that’s for sure. I love the windscreen, which is a difficult part to work with.
Karwik (Noddy), the guy with the bikes, is throwing a big party at his motorcycle clubhouse, and gosh is the scene lively. With so many people and bikes to check out and details aligning every corner, this is something you don’t want to miss. Oh, and the fun‘s just getting started, check out the details gallery ;)
Jarek’s (Jerrec) Polish Junak M10 motorcycle is as real as one can get in LEGO. For a small model at roughly only four inches in length, this creation packs in so many realistic details and contains unorthodox building techniques such as using a sticker taped to 1X1 tiles to create the curvature of the fenders. Amazing!
Well birthdays are lovely and all but we do have a blog to run here and pretty LEGO models to show. I spotted this beauty on Brickshelf today and was highly impressed by Camine’s fine work. There have been a bunch of good motorcycles for minifigs posted before but this is the best Japanese style bike I can remember seeing.
