Any chance of a close up of the saddle?  I can't see any detail on it because the white seems to be glaring at me  ;)

Here we go with this months instructions and the pictures are all from my new camera :D

Inflate a 360, leaving 4 fingers un inflated. Twist two 3 finger pinch twists followed by a 7/8 finger bubble. Twist another 7/8 finger bubble and twist into the two pinch twists. Then tightly wrap the remainder of the 360 around the two 7/8 finger bubbles and deflate the excess.

Inflate another 360, twist into the two pinch twists and wrap the balloon tightly around the outside of the previous 360 so making for a larger wheel. Using glue dots would help to keep the second balloon in position.

Inflate a 360 to 4 fingers un inflated and twist between a 10/12 finger bubble followed by a 1 finger pinch twist then another 10/12 finger bibble twisted into the two pinch twists on the wheel and then the last 10/12 finger bubble twisted into the 1 finger pinch twist and deflate the excess.

Light/front of motorbike.

You could use a 5" round for this or the end of a 360 and inflate to a 3/4 finger bubble.
I used a 360, with a 6 finger bubble tied into a fold twist. Tie this onto another 360 which is nearly fully inflated and make sure there is some slack balloon to do a tulip twist.

Then twist a 4 finger bubble and twist around the 1 finger pinch twist on the pink 360 balloon.

Twist another 4 finger bubble and then a 2 finger pinch twist which gets wrapped around the bottom of the tulip twist. And then the last 4 finger bubble back to the pink pinch twist.
