I know! I want to attempt getting a motorcycle license after I graduate high school then I buy her motorcycle! Ducati Monsters are awesome! :D
I love the one in Tokyo - the Ducati 999R. It's a sleek ride, especially if it's rode naked (it means that it's stripped of the heavy equipment, leaving the rider to use their weight as a ballast)

Legend's motorbikes are works of art. I liked the Tokyo jump sequence yet for some reason, Zip's warning is kinda out of sync in the PS2 version compared to the Xbox version. But I love it nonetheless! :P

I have to say that possibly the worst "Vehicle" was the kayak!

I managed to paddle it through the scenery near that split in the river where the zip line is and ended up in the room with the giant plug and no water to paddle in LOL! :clap:

I bet you can't do that again, even if you tried! :lol:

That happened to my cousin! :lol: It was so funny watching the screen distortions and Lara struggling to go backwards.

Haha! I know at least one other Raider got into the same muddle! I think it was a female Raider from another TR site.

As I recall I didn't go left nor right. I managed to get positioned in the middle beyond the rock - doubtlessly through back-paddling and one end of the canoe started disappearing into that area until suddenly the whole thing was in there and I couldn't do anything but reload!! :lol:

My fav vehicles were the quad bike and the Legend bike. I love those parts in Legend. :D

The quad bike rocks! It's sooo much fun to make levels for it with TRLE.

The quad bike wasn't my favourite - possibly because it reminds me of my inumerate failed attempts to get it out of the track in Croft Manor. Getting it onto the hedge was challenging enough in itself but thereafter one has to reverse it carefully then accelerate in order to make the jump to the purposely-bulit concrete step near the entrance gate.

Alas, rumour has it (for some inexplicable reason), that this manouvre is only achievable on a console such as the PS2. But rumour also had it that Winston could be mown down - which surely was the whole purpose of attempting this "Great Escape" :lol:

Anywoot, here is a video from YouTube that demonstrates the technique and not least of all, the consequences. Enjoy ;)

BTW, I am loving the way that, when the gamer here lands on the concrete step eventually, he/she must have paused and gone off to take a heart pill :roflmao: Check out how precariously he/she manouvres that bike. All they'd need right now was a bit too much reverse and they'd be back on the track...hehe!!!

Although vehicles are as a whole a good addition to a Tomb Raider game, I've yet to be too enthralled by many of them. I enjoyed the snowmobile in TR2, the quadbike in TR3 and more recently Legend's bike (btw, why is Legend included as part of the 'Classics' discussions? :-/ ).

The Kayek was a nightmare for me to control. Don't ever bring it back! :P

I loved the snowmobile and the Ducati motorbikes. I've also noticed a strange thing. In the US ads for Legend, Lara's promoting Jeep and yet it's not even a major factor in the game! (well, except that truck accident with the mercenaries and Anaya backing up and dodging a rifle with her yellow Jeep)

Wouldn't it be interesting to see Lara in one of those sleek bulletproof luxury cars or something? (Then again...)

The quad-bike was fun, but to slow. I like the motorbike. :wiggle:

Early games have their uniqueness, LS. I would've considered the quad-bike to be the slowest vehicle to be the slowest vehicle right now. But Underworld's bike is really fast! It's hard to see everything. I wish some of these vehicles had speed variables.
