I love your new one Pinchtwist, and Roger...yours is very cool too.  Great variations.  Thanks Janet, yep..I used 260s (I think that's what Graham used too, isn't it Graham?).  I like your 360 one though, bigger is cool. I don't mind using bigger balloons...usually it's just one extra to upscale it, and makes for a bigger "wow".   Thanks for sharing yours, I'll have to give it a try  :)
Have a happy day <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=\":-)\" title=\"Smile\" />

Following your plea in another thread, Graham, I have now been sitting here for 1 1/2 hours, balloons of varying hues surrounding me (some burst, some so totally out of sync with themselves as balloons they are going into therapy) and still I haven't come anywhere near close getting as far as the handlebars  :roll:

I might try again, but not today! Or, I might wait and see what physical and mental tort.... , er, challenge gets put out for October's 'Model of the Month'  :shock:

See you in Southport you worker of latex miracles.

Congrats to everyone else, though - I get greener by the balloon!

Well, daveandrews, you may be struggling with balloon sculpting, but I see you are a very accomplished magician as you won the People's Choice award at Kidabra. Congrats!!!!!  :D Impressive!  8-)

Thanks, Janet - magic's my 'thing'. That and vent. balloons, now they are different matter. I must say, however, after one of Graham's Care and Share days, my interest has increased and people standing inline, or at a birthday party, think I am the best thing since sliced bread  :|

Graham - I'll stop by the stand, and if you wouldn't mind, I really would be interested, if only as an 'exercise' !

Thanks,

Dave

My variation - this one made with 360s. It only takes 4 or balloons (4 with 260's or 5 with 360s), so not bad for busy events.

Not my design but originally viewed on youtube I think, sorry - can't remember where to credit original artist.

I like the Motor Bike very much !!!

Would someone please post a instruction for the motor mike please !!??!

Thank you very much !

I am not able to twist the motorbike without a instruction :-(

Graham Lee

Yes the instructions are late going onto the forum as I'm away working in China till the 10th Oct. I will try and get them on when I get back but expect it wont be till at least a week later as I need to catch up with everything that I've missed since being away.

Could you not have a guess at where to start the bike and take it from there, it would probably help you grow as a twister as well.
I would start from the two pinch twists above the front tyre and if you look at all the other bikes posted this could possibly help you as well. Good luck and please post your efforts
