Hey guys, I'm currently in the need of some technical drawing of a motorcycle for my current project's reference. I'm currently looking for them in the net and real life, but I thought to my self, hey, why don't you utilize the collective free time of the playgrounder?

So, uhm, can you guys help me to find some technical drawing of a motorcycle? By technical drawings, you know, detailed drawings of a motorcycle complete with measurement like diametre of the handlebar and things like that. Any motorcycle would help, though I'd kinda prefer something a bit mundane (not a chopper or a racing bike for instance).

And if you guys could find it in the next few hours, that'd be godsend.

Thanks before.

Well, a quick check on Bing, which I prefer to Google, revealed this exploded image (http://www.old-n-good.com/vintage-racing-cars/images/technical_drawings/exploded_views/s5-gs-exploded.jpg), which shows all the parts, this motor-cycle tractor (http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/ttt07/kettenkrad.html) (o.O) which, while probably not what you need, shows some of the stats, this page, which goes over the frame in dizzying detail (http://exeterbritishmotorcycleclub.co.uk/technicalpage.html).

I'm sure there's more, but I figured the search results might stop being relevant when I scrolled down to find a picture of Optimimus Prime next to a picture of a girl in a Santa's Elf costume.

Wow, thank you very much, MC. Those really help. I've already almost lost hope in google and hopes that my real-life search would give better result.

The first link gave me 403 error though, and that link sounds promising. I wonder whether you know anything about it or know where I could see the pic?

Here have a hug for payment. *huggles* Hugs are acceptable currency in this site right?

The level of detail in there varies a lot. Generally it's pretty good, but they usualy only have one picture of the full motorcycle and next to nothing about the parts that make it. If that's good enough, try to find one that has a check on each of the F, T, R and S columns - that gets you a view from more than one angle.

That's odd, I can see it just fine.
Hang on, I'll post it to my Photobucket.

And, here you go. (http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/Moon_Called/motorcycleforfri.jpg?t=1287511574) Hope that works.

You're welcome, it's the least I can do for my fan.
