Hello Again!

Thanks for the praise Jason, it gave me a warm glow inside. :-)

Now, I agree that there are no rules specifically saying you can't rig a
bike. I'm just saying that I think it would be impossible (almost).
However, having said all that, because SRun is a cinematic type of game,
there is nothing to say you can't.

And, yes, the RBB says you can fit an LMG to a bike. The Viking, the
Blitzen and the White Eagle can all be fitted with hard-points (or come
with them).
As for my statements about the Goldwing, I missed the boat about bike
sizes, especially those bikes designed for Trolls. Having a more
'tupperware-torpedo' slant to my bike likes, I thought about those types of
bikes only. My apologies.

Finally, the Deb Decker raises the issue of a rigged bike with complete
sensory cut-out, and the need to secure the rider. Can someone say 'Fasten
your seatbelts'??? :-)

As always, awaiting your comments.

Steve

I WAS READING YOUR REPLY TO SOMEONE ABOUT RIGGED BIKES AND IT SPARKED
SOMETHING. IF SOMEONE WERE TO RIGG A BIKE ONE OF THE MOST NEEDFUL PIECES
OF EQUIPMENT TO GO ON THE BIKE WOULD BE A VARIABLE COG [SENTER OF
GRAVITY] GYROSTABALIZER. THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR THE CONTROL OR EVEN REMOTE
CONTROL OF A BIKE. AS A GM I WOULD ADD APPROX 25% TO 45% TO THE COST OF A
NORMAL RIGGING JOB AND ADD .25 CF TO THE SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
