I'm Batman[501st] Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share 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....

I'm Batman[501st] Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
