Street Legal Light Cycle Brings Your Tron Fantasies to Life
walyou ^ | 3 Dec 2010 | Chase Norton

With December 17th rapidly approaching, the much awaited Tron sequel, Tron: Legacy, is just around the corner. For most Tron fans this means assembling all of your Tron swag, gear and other memorabilia to get you hyped for the premiere. While we’re sure you have everything from these Tron Light Cycle USB drives to these awesome Tron video game controllers, we’re guessing you don’t have what we’re about to show you. A Florida based bike store has unveiled ten custom-built street legal Tron Light Cycles. That’s right, a Light Cycle you can drive to the premiere.

Each Tron Light Cycle is composed of a steel frame, fiberglass bodywork and a V-Twin engine from a Suzuki TLR 1000. The breaking system comes in the form of a custom made friction drum. Each buyer will have a choice in how the bike’s gauges are displayed. Customers can choose between actual standard gauges or an iPad dock which will display the vital information and statistics on the iPad’s touchscreen. A futuristic option for this futuristic bike. These custom-built Light Cycles weigh around 474 pounds and over 100 inches long and 23 inches wide. When riding the Light Cycle, the driver is 28.5 inches off of the ground. As you can see from the picture, it’s not exactly an orthodox sitting position.

Behold, I am King of the Nerds, and I have not these "Tron fantasies" of which you speak, nor do I think much of this over-priced PR stunt.

Be gone.

Leave the girl.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Looks like driving on a pair of barrels i.e. clumsy.

You’re.

World English Dictionary
you're (jʊə, jɔː, ( unstressed ) jə)
— contraction of
you are

Example: Oh, you're one of those grammer nannies, aren't you?

It’s cool looking but I think I’ll get a pocket full of quarters and play the game in the arcade as I did when the first movie came out.
Although, I bet with the amount of money I put in that machine back then I probably would have the money to buy one of these now.

Not bad.
I'd still like to see them make Kaneda's motorcycle from Akira:
