Making structures with round bar/wire is much harder than square forms, and this was tricky in many ways, but thought some might find this one interesting, and the last one I promise.
Last one, run out of engines and materials...

With some parts left over from the previous race car models, decided a motorcycle would be harder, and so it was.

Re: Last one, run out of engines and materials...
Thank you all!
I've decided it needs a wacky rider to finish it off.
Last time I made a figure was in primary school, a discus thrower in wire and plaster, got a credit for it too! So, some 63 years later I'll try again...
This one will be simpler and more aerodynamic (ie nearer to 2D than 3D) mind.
Wire form already bent, solder and clothing next, head last.
Good job I've got a BIG project coming in the very New Year to occupy my winter time.
