Old school inspiration

I was definitely a Star Wars nerd growing up. One of my favorite scenes is the speeder bike chase in the 6th movie and I'll never forget how cool those things looked with the riders hunched over, cramming for speed.

So here's a post to one of my earliest foundations for riding

The Aratech 74-Z speeder bike

If the movies weren't enough I even had this guy to feed that pre-pubescent need for speed


Found it in an old tote with all my other Star Wars toys today, it now has a place above my desk. I'd say its just for looks but who am I kidding, its still fun to play with.
