Hello all, new member here.

I've been a fan of PA stuff ever since I was a teen but only started with minis fairly recently. I have a long list for more good stuff to get at the end of the month, but I'm struggling to find any miniatures with bike riders on dirt bikes and such. How do you guys go about that? Would be grateful for any kind of advice.

The westwind range are on chopper style bikes but the riders can be used on other machines.

Eureka carries a military dirt bike faction. Ross made a gang of them. They can been seen on Page 10 of this thread

I made my gang from several sources - see it here

Thank you all for the tips. The Eureka minis were almost spot on for what I had in mind. I've seen a couple of bikers from Mirliton (not in the EM4 catalogue) that also fit the bill, but they seem a bit dear to get from a UK supplier.

If you want a pure dirtbike, and don't mind doing a little converting try this one. Eureka haas a line called "Boiler Suit Apes" that has the following mini in it:

The torso is a separate piece, IIRC, so you could mate whatever you want with the legs and bike.

It's the same bike as the ones used in their human military force. The legs won't work with the bigger plastics (like GW) either I'm affraid Though they may work with the Eureka multi-part police though?

(I'm working on one of those boiler suit apes on bikes right this minute..... well, not right this minute, right this minute I'm typing, but you, well, you get the idea. He's on my desk awaiting an AK to be strapped to his back.).
