February 2023 @ Badger Motors

Is it Love?  A brand new bike is always better than roses.

Happy Valentine's Day, depending upon
when you're reading this.  

Now, you can run out and buy a bouquet of flowers for your sweet Baboo, your Honey Bunny, your Sugar Momma, you Sugar Daddy, or the person who holds your hair while you puke, you can do that.  Flowers die and then you have to toss them in the trash.  We have a little secret that is assured to keep love alive....A Brand New Bike!!  Yep, follow us for more love advice.


C'mon look at that bike.  Doesn't that say "LOVE ME OR I'M GONNA HAVE A FIT?"  Yeah, a bit extreme but you get the point.  For a fraction of the cost of a bouquet of roses, you can buy a bike and gift it to your favorite person.  You say you don't have a favorite person?  We'll make YOU your favorite person and gift the bike to yourself.  This isn't about self love, we don't need to know what you're doing.

Will it be gift wrapped in all pretty colors?  Umm yeah, sure but our gift wrapping department is quite awful but they have a lot of tape.  The bike is great though.

Use Advanced Lighting

All of our bikes are best seen with Advanced Lighting enabled through your Preferences - Graphics settings.  Sure, you can set the shine yourself but you're missing out on how these textures look.  Your mind will be blown and honestly, my frame rates are not impacted very much with this feature enabled.  Give it a chance, you will not be disappointed.  

We have more news!!

Our top of track is finished and we're in the SL Destination Guide.  It is amazing what you can accomplish with generous contributions of fancy plastic objects to people with really low expectations.  We have not bribed anyone, just so you know.  That's the story we're sticking with!


There is so much to see and do at our top of track.  Yes, you want to come ride to the top, demo one of our vehicles, rez your own (we don't care) and bring some friends.  When you get to Badgerford Falls, hang out for awhile and enjoy the sights.  There is a little town, Glamping area, lake, waterfall, mountains and yeah, we have a seedy little trailer park that might have some criminal activity going down.  

New Bikes are Coming for 2023

During 2022, we spent a lot of time building traditional cruisers and baggers and focusing on shopping events.  Those bikes are fun but when we look back at our old Hot Wheels, we're more inspired to create cool looking bikes with more character and style than what we have produced up to now.   

Coming soon: 


The Monticello Ripper will be released at the Liaison Collaborative Event later this month.  Watch for news in our inworld Badger Motors group.  This bike features a single-sided swing arm, massively fat tires and yeah, we know you couldn't possible turn this bike in RL.  In SL, it just looks too cool not to have some artistic license.  I will place some Coming Soon demos out soon.

For the February Men Only Monthly, the Saludo al Sol.  If I said "Breakout" would you believe me?  Okay, c'mon, I can't say Breakout inworld.  The pixel police will have a coniption fit and nobody needs to see that.  It is just a sweet looking and riding bike.  Hell, I'd buy it.  Look for a release date on the 20th of February.  Once the vendor is dropped at the event, I'll send out an announcement.  You may be able to peek in and buy it for yourself.  

Ride Out Requests


Come ride the Badger Motors sim.  We start at 1000m and go up to 3300m with several levels of fun, two timed tracks and seasonal decoration at our track top.  Yes, we invite ride out requests.  Get your form from the landing and send it to Mikal Brinner and Lizzy Nightfire.  We do have real lives and aren't always online but if you send your request to both of us, you'll be sure to have your request set up.  You don't really need a ride out request but having one reserves the track for your group or MC though we may have customers visiting during your ride.  Share the road, right?

The sim is rebooted regularly so you should have a great ride.

Shopping Events

Big changes with our events.  For February, we will be participating with the Liaison Collaborative Shopping Event.  Our association with eBento will be dropped for February.  Two events a month is about all we want to do.  More than that and it feels like we're doing actual work.
