Description
Two centuries after the nuclear war, the Highway King AtomiGlide continues to roam the broken interstates of America, popular for it's speed, ruggedness, and eminent salvagability; an enterprising individual can roll one to a workbench without any assistance, and parts are everywhere. Bikes can be converted to run on a number of available power sources - fusion batteries, microfusion cells, or a variety of combustible chemicals, with varying reliability.

The Brotherhood of Steel use bikes to give their scouts extra mobility - the power armored Paladins that make up their main strength are individually too big and heavy to ride a motorcycle. The recon-armored scouts ride to the edge of their infiltration area, and then proceed quietly on foot, hiding the bike carefully under camo netting in an out of the way spot. The bike shown here has a stowed AER9 laser rifle, with additional equipment in a metal ammo box.

The NCR uses motorcycles in much the same way; bikes carry rangers and scout snipers to the edge of the operational area, where they'll infiltrate, set up and OP, and observe and report enemy movement, call in artillery or air support, or engage targets on their own. The bike shown here, like the BOS bike, is an ex-military model (or built based on one); stowage includes a custom scout sniper rifle. The insignia is from the NCR Army's elite 1st recon.

Largely avoiding advanced technology, Caesar's Legion nonetheless uses motorcycles for their elite shock cavalry; they are faster, stronger, and more durable than whatever the mutant horse of the fallout world is, and don't panic under fire. Heavily armored cataphracts, riding shoulder to shoulder can deliver a devastating charge with their thermic lances, and then run down their routing enemies, who, usually lacking motorized transport of their own, stand no chance of escape. The bike shown here mounts a combination vexilus/trophy rack as well as the equites' secondary weapons, a gladius machete and throwing spears. The primary weapon, usually a thermic lance, would have to be used while riding, and therefore wouldn't be stowed.

Enjoy,
