Hi,

here is my motobike (WMW HS-2000) with the blob-man as driver. The blobman
is a fantastic solution to add humans to such scenes ...

Comments ?

The bike is nice, but how the heck do you get going with this thing. I mean,
by the time the driver has managed to crawl in there the bike has fallen
over! Maybe some kind of automatic pneumatic feet that retract when speed
goes over a certain threshold. The floor texture is unusual, but cool. The
rear suspension system needs more detail.

I think that starting with this bike needs the help of two men, but it looks
like a bike for speed-records ...
The suspension is of course a cardan-drive (right word?) like at a
bmw-boxer, but i think that the missing pipes and missing water-cooling
should be corrected ...

It needs some more technical detail, seems a little plain.
How was the floor pattern done?
That doesn't seem like a good position to be in should it crash...

The floor-pattern is just an image-map created with a paint-program, added
bumps to it.
The position will be harmfull if this mbike should crash, od course. But i
will not render this accident ...

what happens if he pulls a wheelie start, does that bike f*ck off down the
road and he if left 'standing', instead of sitting on his ar*e....?

looks so far so good - needs a bit more detail, tho..

yeah, i thought about this too. How about the pod where the guy is
laying has a hydrolic lift of some sort so it moves perpendicular to the
wheels, parallel to a standing person. this way, the person can reach up
and grab the handle bars. push a button and the pod moves back to it's
original position. 

i dunno, just a though.

I'd hate to think of what might happen if it flips forward...
No offense to Hartmut, but this is perhaps the worst design safety-wise for a
bike I have ever seen...

I just suddenly thought - head on collision - that would really tickle!
