Just one side.

The back cover over the truck part can be designed on.

Massive area for someone to doodle on.

Sent to Noisecrime, last night.

Re: AVF FM3 Bike, The Journey.

Thanks to noisecrime for passing her on, first impressions was she's a big girl who could ideally do with an anchor attached to her rump, showing her any strip of tarmac which deviated from straight had her drifting wide, very wide .

Still after attaching my rather ahem basic tag to her I took her racing, 3 races entered and 3 races won now I was warming to the big girl and thought I'd treat her to an upgrade. Using my early Gran Turismo logic (If your not winning power is the answer) I splashed out and slotted in a nice new shiny Race Twin-Screw Supercharger, the orginal 450bhp now boosted to a hefty 559bhp.

Now I took her back to the track and entered her into the RWD race series. Ok so she didn't have the necessary upgrades but what the hell, let that Supercharger spin up and she was game for anything with the new improved whine and mid range grunt she took another 3 wins under her belt.

So after that enjoyable encounter with the AVF bike I'll now pass her on





559 horses doing their job.

Tagged Raced Smashed and Bashed. Added a front spliter and tinted the windows. Send to C225. Uploaded the replay of my race to the Forza storefront. Just look for AVF BIKE. Here's some photos.

Re: AVF FM3 Bike, The Journey.

Ok, so I received 'the ol' girl' today and stuck my tag on.

I slammed her (Racing Suspension) and added some 24" Asanti's. Had a quick race around Sebring and what a handful she is.

Here are some pictures:




Mmmm.. Shiny lol

Will send her on later today.
