Hover Bike - "Speedster" Version 1

Hover Bike - "Speedster" [9 prims]
The Speedster is the fast, no-nonsense hoverbike for personal transport that uses the latest powerful, lag-free, antigravity technology to transport you across any planet’s surface (or anywhere else in SL). You can learn to fly it in just a few seconds. It's fast and responsive and looks great when you turn on your viewer's Advanced Lighting System because it's materials-enabled. So, you'll see nearby lights dynamically reflected over its angled surfaces.

Features include
- Latest powerful lag-free anti-grav engine
- Adjustable pilot seat
- Lights on/off via chat
- jet sound effects
- Fast and easy to fly
- Steady hover mode
- Public version included - anyone can fly it
- DNA-locked version for owner's use only

Flying the "Speedster" Hover Bike.
Touch the bike or right-click the pilot seat and select "pilot". Once you're seated, wait a second or two while you hear the powerful anti-grav engines kick in as you hover gently. Now, you can move by using the forward/backward arrow keys to adjust the speed, use the left/right turn arrow keys to steer, and use the PgUp and PgDn keys to climb and descend. Once you're moving, you'll see the thrust jet streaming from the rear as you steer. You can continue to fire the thrusters and move forward as long as you keep your finger on the forward arrow.

Hold the Ctrl key down as you use the left/right arrow keys to perform a sideways "crabbing" strafe movement. You can carry out some cool sideways-sliding moves once you've got the hang of it. You can also do an amazing "drift" when speeding across the surface.

Adjustable pilot seat pose
You can adjust the position of the pilot for whatever size avatar you have. Once you are seated, type "/1 menu" and an adjustment menu will appear, with buttons for nudging the pose up/down and forwards/backwards. Once it's adjusted for your avi, the hover bike will remember your settings the next time you get on. It will remember up to 32 different avatars settings and automatically apply them next time they sit on it.

Lights.
There's a powerful working headlight on the front of the Hover Bike and also rear and side lights. If you type "/1 lights off" then all the lights will go out and the rear smoke particle effect will extinguish. You can do this when you park up for the night. Typing "/1 lights on" will turn the light system and the rear smoke effects back on again.

Landing.
You can use the PageDown key to descend. Take it easy or you'll hit the floor and bounce back up. Once you have landed simply stand up and you'll hear the anti-grav engine will cut out automatically. When parked, the vehicle will still maintain a slight hover above the surface.

Parking Up.
If you stand up while you’re still flying, the Hover Bike will turn off any forward motion, maintain its height and lock its vertical and geostationary position. So, you can park next to a high landing platform or the top of a docking column by hopping out of your pilot's seat when you're in position. It's then safe leave the vehicle.

Security.
The vehicle is DNA-locked, a security feature that allows only the owner to fly it. You won't have any worries of someone else jumping on and flying off with it after you've parked it.

Public Version Included.
We've included a public version that permits non-owners to operate this vehicle. The public version has green front lights. It behaves exactly like your personal one except anyone can fly it. The vehicle will de-rez when the pilot gets off. . This is important if you allow non-owners to operate your vehicles as they won't be able to move or delete your vehicle if it gets stuck.

These craft are all scaled perfectly for use with the Exosphere Modules such as the Landing Terminal, the Landing Dome and the Vehicle Bay.
