    Motor Cycle suggestions?

    Since CTYT is practically selling a Ghost Rider figure, any tips on where to get a 8" scale motorcycle for Ghost Rider (and The Orb)? The ones I see either seem too small or too big. Thanks!

    I have a motorcycle from the Bratz line that's in scale. Just needs a paint job, really.

    Here's one for sale on eBay.
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

          Oops.. Not on page 19 of the following thread, and I should correct that...
          [EDIT: I have added a post regarding Motorcycles to the following linked Topic]

          This thread is here by created to serve as a on going updated data base of Mego like sized vehicles. Please feel free to contribute pictures and info of any Mego like sized vehicles that you have seen, found or think can be used for Mego's. Please keep in mind that the term "vehicles" does not have to necessarily


          ... now I remember it was specifically on someone's custom Ghost Rider thread. Give me another minute...

            Here you go. It's not comprehensive advice, but it's a start...

            So here is my first customizing attempt. Thought I would try my hand at GR and base him loosely on the movie version but still try and keep him "megoey".He is all CTVT with the exception of the chain and after some dental work and paint...BAM!!,he was done.I hope everyone likes it.I hope all of the images show up.

                I was thinking that the blue bat cycle might work. Maybe take off the nose or place a sticker that looks like a big windscreen over it. Put some fire decals on there. This could be another thing you could do up for people, Paul, a Ghost Rider motorcycle sticker set!

                      Cool. Not sure if I have to boycott Hobby Lobby now or not, but they have it online for $10:

                        That is an excellent looking bike! The Bratz one looked good as well.

                          I picked up a 1:9 Easy Rider chopper from Ebay. It's the perfect GR bike. You have to add your own flames and paint over the gas tank etc.
                          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                            Good idea about the Bratz line, I know there cars fit the mego scale figures nicely, I'm sure the motorcycles
                            are the same.

                              Hobby Lobby also has a ww2 era bike and sidecar that I will eventually finish turning into a bat-ride.
