Well now..
Looks like my Wonderful Wife stopped at another thrift shop while I wasn't looking and picked up a Tyco Harley set...
I always wondered how well these worked...
Seems they are kind of silly running around the track... :lol:
But that is ok...

man. she has got to talk to my wife.

i got one of those sets for 5 bucks at a yard sale a few years ago.

i kept the track and sold the bikes and the box for something like 20 bucks on Fleabay. (I already had one of the bikes from when I was a kid, and as you noticed, you really don't need more than one of them... :) )

I have around 40 of those little nightmares. We ran them for our second race this year. By far the hardest to run of any slots I have played with. Very top heavy and the pickup system isn't very good. The shoes get jammed into position and one bike has a problem with the shoe shorting out on the motor.

Discounting the shoe problems they were still fun with 6 running at the same time.
