I'm Batman[501st] Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) The annual convoy raising funds for cancer families has about 400 motorbikes and 400 trucks travel from one side of town to the other. The 501st got asked to troop, but I wanted to ride in the convoy too. Combine the two! Kitted as a snow trooper so I could sit and bend my legs properly I painted my helmet white (plasti-dip) and made a visor screen out of insect wire, painted white and black. My buddy, made a facemark out of a kids mask and a shortened cape for the ride - rest of costumes as per 501st. We then kitted up properly for the 'troop' after the ride. Was a bunch of fun. The looks on peoples faces lining the roads! What? Has no one seen a snow trooper and Vader ride motorbikes before.... Edited July 21, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated 3 Quote
Bulldog44[TK] Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 Awesome! Thanks Ian for posting the photos! You guys looked awesome riding in your gear! Coolest motorcycle gang ever! <br> Looked like loads of fun and or a super cause of course. Great for the kids. <br> Must have made a bunch of other drivers smile all the way home. Congrats on that troop! Thanks for sharing the day! Quote

I'm Batman[501st] Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Posted February 4, 2016 A couple of other pics from the troop. Me and Vader pulling into the show ground after the ride part: And 2 clowns going for a ride in the Cha Cha (not sure what the ride is called in other parts of the world, but I'm sure it's out there). They were squished after the ride! 3 Quote
