Thinking about one

i'm intrigued...

 

1,920 pieces but I haven't seen a price yet. The R1200GS and Ducati were both sub-$100 and about 600 pieces each. Fat boy was $100 at about 1000pc. That scares me into thinking this will be $150+ if not $200

 

It still blows my mind to this day how expensive lego sets can be.

a Lambo is nearly $400

 

Well fuck me, it's listed on the website and it's $229.

A guy in the Lego thread got it, it's MASSIVE, like 4 and a half feet long.

 

Lego has some fun new motorcycle kits too, they call it their Stuntz line.

I bought the single motorcycle and have it on my desk at home as a fidget-y thing. It has a flywheel inside so you kind of roll it up to speed then let it go and it'll zoom halfway across my house.

 

YEA I DID! Its a great build.

 

An FYI for the folks that can use this.....I got an email last night from Amtrak about a limited time promo rate for the Auto Train from Lorton, VA to Sanford, FL. You have to book passage and pay by December 17 but you can reserve travel for southbound trains for dates out to I believe the end of June 2022. For my g/f and I taking our bike in a sleeper room one way is $335. We're in the process of planning a trip and thinking about heading down right before Easter and then riding down to Key West then taking the whole week to ride home coming up the coast the whole way. We used the auto train in October 2019 and had a ball. Saves almost 900 miles of droning along on I-95.

 

Jacket is in. "ADV AF" as @spencermarkd likes to say

 

SO MANY POCKETS

 

The ones by my hands are double pockets- top and side. The zippers on upper chest are vents

Bought our auto train tickets this morning to head south in April. $335 for one way passage, private sleeperette room for 2 people with the bike. Going to ride down to Key West first then work our way home trying to hug the coastline as much as possible. Going to start the Iron Butt Association Lighthouse Tour on our way home.
