Engine casing;

Inflate a 260 with 4 fingers uninflated.
Twist a 6 finger bubble and wrap around the centre of the red and pink 360's, twist another 6 finger bubble followed by a 2 finger pinch twist. Then a 4 finger twist and a 2 finger pinch twist, tie the nozzle of the 260 into this pinch twist. I then go back to the first pinch twist with another 4 finger bubble but you could leave this out if you wanted.

Front tyre;

Inflate a 260 and twist 2 three finger pinch twists and make the front tyre size one that you are happy with and looks proportionally right. Mine was eight hands, approx 32 fingers.

Then make two 6 finger bubbles for the centre of the front wheel.

Twist the balloon around the front tyre again, the last 4 finger bubble goes to the other side of the front spokes and ties into the other pinch twist.

Use another 260 and tie into the pinch twist, twist an 8 finger bubble and tie around the headlight pinch twist and then the remainder of the 260 down to the front tyre, approx a 12 finger bubble. Adjust the pinch twists so that you like the look of the front forks.

Twist a 4 finger bubble back to the previous pinch twist with an 8 finger twist for the back of the seat which is secured into the opposite pinch twist. Twist a 3 finger bubble into the two pinch twists and then the last 3 finger bubble is tied into the knot of the balloon.

Although it dosn't show in the picture I have two 3 finger bubbles attached to the back wheel to help with stability but you could just have one if you wished.

Attach the seat to the bike.
I have used seperate colours to help with the instructions but the rear wheel needs to be in black with the pinch twists as well.

Any problems, just ask and I look forward to seeing a few more attempts at making this months, model of the month  ;)
