(1096/365)
My 13-Year-Old & I broke open the Lego Technic Motorcycle kit this evening. There are 467 parts and two very thick manuals. There was a choice of a cruiser or a sport bike. We opted for the sport bike, though I think that was more Dad in the opting department. It took about 2 hours to assemble. All I did was search for the parts in the bags, she did all the work. The few pieces I did assemble, I basically screwed up. Its hard to believe I can disassemble my bikes and reassemble them without any trouble, good thing I don't ride Lego bikes.
Anyway, this bike is pretty cool, we acually built the motor, a three-cylinder (Triumph?) and transmission. There is even a lego chain for the rear wheel. When you roll the bike along, the pistons actually move.
My oldest is across the street on a last minute baby-sitting job, my son fell asleep already, my 13-Year-Old is now playing Zombie Farm on her iPod Touch. I think my wife will be in bed in a bit (she sets the alarm for a few mins before midnight so she can wake up in time for ringing in the new year. I am now on the MBP setting up my 4th year PaD.
Happy New Year!
