Bikers

Yet another box of Bryan's (Vampifan's) figures, many of which I 'd never seen before. From what I've seen before they're all from WEst Wing, but there may be others amongst the mix. I newhe had a Biker gang, but it's doubled in size since my last memory of them on his blog. The two above right are unique in that they look very futuristic, even Tron-like, whilst the rest below are a mix of 'normal' sized bikes along with the 'choppers'  I more normally associated with the typical byker gangers.
 Here's the photos:
The box, with the give-away labelling
The wonderful cornucopia of the contents
Cops with their dumounts - chips anyone ?
These took me a little aback - not what I was expecting
Another surprise - Orks maybe ?
The above's comrades
Smaller bikes, but with well-armed riders
More civilian types, but unarmed
More well armed civilian types
Chopper types, armed of course.
Yet more choppers and a trike on the right.
Even more choppers and a mystery biker on the right
These choppers are huge - note the size of the bases !
And more of the same, note the lady  passengers
And that's it, thirty eight bikes and riders, not the ten I was expecting and knew about - it puts my ten or so riderless bikes to shame!
 
Hopefully the contents of this box amazed or amused you as indeed it did me - another rwonderful collection rescued from the 'helpful' neighbours' donations to the local charity shop!
 
As always your comments are welcomed and truly appreciated.

    Some great looking bikers Bryan had Joe, the top two bikes remind me of the Hondo City Judges bikes, so can see people being very interested in those

      Thanks Dave and of course I've never heard of the "Hondo City" judges.
      I'm pretty sure someone will be interesged in thee but I'm uncertain about the JD styff - of which I have very little.

      Thanks MJT, I admit to being surprised by these too, but as it's Bryan's collection, I really shouldn't be.

      Thanks Terry, I'm beginning to fear that I'll not be rescuing more.

    Fab Collection. Definitely Westwind Roadkill range. Followed by I think quite a number of EM4/Forlorn Hope motor bikes though some have converted riders. Not sure about the below ones maybe ramshackle games.

      Thanks Brummie, I recognise a lot of the West Wind models (including the Vampire Bikers iirc), but as for the rest....

    Great set of bikers Joe and when I seen the title I thought it was going to Bryan's Judge Dread ones, so there are more you might come across 🙂

      Thanks Frank, but from the comments of others I reckon anything else JUdge Dredd related has disappeared into the great vid of ebay.

    Wow, 38 bikes! Looks great 🙂
    Is there a specific game that all these would be used for?

      Thanks Ivor, any contemporary setting wold be suitable for using these. 'Choppers' came about in the 1950s and made popular by the film Easy Rider. SOme of these you could get away with using from th second world war onwards.
      Bryan used them in his Zombiue Apocalypse setting.

    That's a spectacular haul! I guess I've been out of the loop, what happened to Bryan's collection in general?

      Thanks Mikko, I was invited by his Borther to help clear out Bryan's stuff and managed a car-load. HIs 'helpful' neighbours however have donated a lot of his games to the local charity shop (twice now I beleive). I'm now awaiting word from Bryan's brother Michael to rescue more of Bryan's collection.
