I never imagined I'd be into a motor sport themed pin, but I was strangely attracted to this game... I'd be very interested to know how many are out there... I have a feeling it's a keeper

Thanks for the additional info on the production figures...

Here's the backglass in full:

And here's the cryptic instruction card that ties in with the DTs... not figured it all out yet, only played 1 game on it... the sound is pretty decent with good base... lots of bike noises as you can imagine

Playfield needs a good clean! Looking forward to shopping this one out!!

Certainly! Never done a vid before though to upload on the net... I guess using a iPad would work... Does Pinside have video loading? Edit: Need to fix all the bulbs first so it looks pretty and familiarise myself with the game so I'm not flailing around like an idiot

Thanks for the link to that!!

If I get bored of mine I'll let you know, although it does make a change from the machines I normally go for, so that adds something to the fascination of owning it I have to say... You can always pop over the boarder to play it

I'm planning to send them the same batch that I put on the Pinside page... It takes a age for them to approve pics I've noticed!!

That's a good idea... always a bit scared of pulling 'em out of their sockets though... I do have a burner somewhere!

Plenty

I'll definitely do it, when I get the game looking a bit prettier

Cheers Matt! It will clean up very nicely I think! Just a small chip out of one plastic to the right of the ramp entry... I was lucky to stumble across it! It was from the same seller that I got the Galaxy Play from!

Always happy to spread the love for these obscure Spanish games!! The Spanish seem to be invading my collection at a growing rate of knots!! I'm soon hoping to get hold of this games younger brother; IO Moon

I have the option to buy this game in a batch deal... I'm not that fussed about the deal to be honest, the games are:

Nautilus (Playmatic), I want this one so I can make a great one from the two I'll then have.
Odin Deluxe (already have, but again, will help improve on the one I have, not so fascinated by this title though).
Trailer
KZ-26
Star Fire

My only real interest is for the Nautilus and possibly the Odin Deluxe (although I'm not hell bent on this one)... I wouldn't buy the 5 games just for Nautilus, but if I found buyers for the others (or at least one of 'em) then it would make the deal more viable... The big snag, of course, would be the shipping cost to the US!! If you're prepared to pay this plus $700 for the game, then we could have a deal... If you want one or more of the other games, then shipping per game would be less of course... Each game is $700 (and I'm keeping the Nautilus). They're all supposed to be fully working and nice examples with great backglasses and playfields...

They would make this hobby a darn site easier

It'll be a great pleasure!! First I need to get the games set up and working properly... and a bit clean, and also play 'em a bit so I know how to play!! This will be a LOT easier when my games room is built!! This Bike Race is currently on its legs in my store (a rare privilege for the games in there!!)... it's very cold in there at the moment and I can only go there after the kids are in bed... It's all very 'sub-optimal' for taking vids at the moment...

Also, I was in the store the other night and I got a bit spooked!! This store is a massive factory from the communist times... ( the owner rents out areas for people to use as they wish) I was in there two nights ago at about 10:30, setting up the BR after tearing down its predecessor (Nautilus)... there was no-one else around and it was deadly silent... I then heard, very clearly, the sound of a zip... like someone getting out of a sleeping bag or zipping a jacket... I came out of my store area to see who was there, but there was no-one at all... not a sound! Now there is a store next to mine (used by some Russians) that had its door closed, so I guessed someone was sleeping in there for some reason (Russians have a different perception of life than most other human beings!), but then I realised that the main door (that leads to both my store and this one next door) was padlocked from the outside, because I had to unlock it to get in!! I suppose a guy could be sleeping there and was locked in by his buddy... but it just seemed very strange! It's also pitch black in the store and I need a torch to get there... I have a light once in my store room, but it's all a bit spooky, and to be honest I'm a bit nervous about going there after dark at the moment!!

I set out to go there last night, and my wife said that if I'm not back by 12 she'll call the police... while I was driving there I changed my mind and came home!! :-/

I suppose they both have a 'non-flippered' elevated playfield thing at the rear right... but that's kind of about it really...

I was searching the forum to see if there is a 'club thread' for this game and found this abandoned threat started by some dude 7 years ago... so this is probably worth keeping as the 'Bike Race owners club' thread... does it mean I have to change the title? I could be the only member anyway

Anyway, for anyone owning this game... welcome! And here's a tip for holding the playfield in the up position bearing in mind the design doesn't seem to include any kind of useful playfield support system... there's a support bar, similar to those found in many early games from Bally/Williams and Gottlieb, but when I tried resting the playfield on it, it twisting so badly that I was scared to let go of it in case it fell into the cab!

The stand up target to the right of the ramp entrance gets some high-impact shots and was was bent back as a result... which could have caused bad air-balls... not to mention breaking the plastic above it! After bending it back and re-gapping it I did a rather sophisticated mod to the target by wedging the closest thing to hand that seemed half suitable between the back of the target and the cut-out on the playfield... seems to keep it in place pretty well... I may decide to improve the design by adding some glue... Will see if it falls out first. This mod is not for sale, but the photo will give anyone interested a kind of 'blue print' so they can make one also...

Just noticed on my game that the flippers are designed differently... would be curious to know which one is the original if anyone else has this game...
