In my early years, I spent some time as a motorcycle mechanic, so I know there's a few tricks he can try. First up, the handlebars and front wheel remove pretty easity. On the bad side, a big like that probably runs in excess of 1200 lbs.
Well, true. We've never discussed her load bearing capacity in any detail, but if she's like some of the modern Japanese exo suits she should be able to lift several tons without fatique.
that was one major wrong guess tho I'd first ask myself how the bike got in and who & what else might follow. tho this makes a long-running question for the entire genre – if you can teleport stuff or make portals, why storm places and fight to kill without dropping a truckload C4 in first?
just to follow up on previous pages – Mollie will probably have no hacker skills, unless Wissenschaft designed her WLAN access device as a hacker / parasite unit. tho if the average Spire City citizen is as carefree with WLAN as I guess, she'll have plenty of free unrestricted access WLANs to play with
Hey, Jlt! The bike was carried in in pieces. John Underhall has access to short distance "teleporting" through his wife Persephone, but he would never ask her to do so for something as insignificant as this.
It's already been somewhat established that there are some talented mechanics among the Mole People, such as Winky, and at least one IT person (Wolf) who runs the mainframe.
I doubt if she has hacker skills and currently is limited to normal "surfing" but I'm sure her skills will develop since she is pretty much plugged in 24/7. And, of course, there are still plenty of areas where there is no wireless service. So, while it is handy,…
As for the bike in Greg's apartment, all I can say is that John Underhall has a wicked sense of humor.
Nice bike. Hope we see some action with it.
Why the change to intensedebate BTW?
Thanks, Scott! Oh yeah, I plan to use the motorcycle in the story.
From what I can tell, the Intense Debate change followed the last new version installed.
Cool it's a nice suprise, and that is going to be fun getting the bike down to the ground floor now. More so if he wants to keep it a secret.
No kidding.

I wonder if he'll think about having Mollie help him? Hmmmm….. Luckily no one else lives in that building.

I'm not going to go that far because she still has a normal human female torso.

I remember when Underhall crashed in on Wissenschaft via motorcycle.

That is one of my favorite scenes still.
Cool surprise I really like where this could lead.
Thanks, Dustin! I'm not supposed to have favorite children, but I'm really proud of those episodes too.
OK aI'll say it "ladies and gentleman the Saturn Cycle"
