Title: Driver and motorcycle
Post by: Aetius on January 13, 2011, 06:59:23 PM
Good apocalypse to all, guys.

I'm sorry if this question has already been raised, but I'm not entirely familiar with this board and the search didn't found anything.

My doubt is this: can I be a Driver with a shiny, cool, noisy motorcicle instead of a boooooring car?
Yes, I know I can choose a motorcycle instead of a car with the collector move, but can I START with it, without even bother me with a fucking four wheels?

I'm aware that this is probably a silly question, but I'm a bit shy fooling around with written rules and I don't want to destabilize some kind of game balance...

Thank you.

I'm just starting a game where my driver has an Osprey aircraft... would think a motorcycle would be ok.

Just wonder how you try to seduce someone while riding the bike?

You are kidding, aren't you? ;-)

The way my immagination works I can hint and promise sex much better on a bike than on a car. The motorcycle screams "sexy!" to me ;-)
Obviuously to use the Special I should dismount, but I can afford this...

By the way... the entire concept of the Driver screams "Sexy! On motorcycle!" to me. I cannot bring myself to imagine a Driver without a speeding, agile, slender bike to mount. Thinking of a car removes all the charm from the charachter.
And... yes, I'm conscous of the sexual overtones of this topic XD

Thank you all for your answers, anyway ^^

I suppose the advantage of driving a car is that you *can* easily activate your Special move without "dismounting"...

ha. But yeah, you can seduce them while astride the bike. You hit a 10. They agree. You meet them four hours later.  Not on the bike.

Seducing has to happen in the vehicle, not the act. :)

Ok bike... sexy.  Got it.  Will remember that.  But yeah I was thinking the equivalent of the driver making out in the back seat..  Visual joke + forum posting, not good.
