Anybody know of a source for 15mm modern, insurgent motorbike or motorcycle riders? I saw a game where Random Event Cards brought various weapons and/or vehicles into play for the insurgents. One of these was a motorbike with driver and passenger w/ RPG. I checked a few places and even considered altering a WWII Afrika Korps. Moderns is new to me so I don't know all the nooks and crannies to look in for this sort of stuff. Thanks! |

"motorbike or motorcycle" What's the difference? |

Some people call a motorized bicycle a motorbike. Same way a Vespa is a 'scooter' in the US, a motorbike in other places. QRF may have what you're looking for. |

Unfortunately I don't know of any source. BTW, the only difference between a motorbike and motorcycle is the where ou are in the world. In the US, bot terms seem to be pretty common. I happen be be a motorcyclist, or as some might say, a biker. |

You sure it was 15mm? I know they have that model from Brittainia in 20mm. |

We currently only have WW2 options, but we have recently discussed adding a modern trials-type bike with modern [military and civilian] riders |

Thanks gang…my father-in-law restores, buys, sells and trades vintage "bikes." In our (red)neck of the woods a motorbike could be a motorbicycle, minibike or scooter. A motorcycle would be… well, a motorcycle. The game I saw was with larger scale figures than the 15mm I'm working with. And Geoff, I'm planning on ordering a fistful of your HUMMWVs to start me off. |
