"Tron" Gear For Geeky Bikers

The geek and biker communities
don't cross paths too often, but the upcoming release of "Tron:
Legacy" has brought the "lightcycles" - futuristic motorbikes used
in the original 1982 film - back into the public eye.
Parker Brothers Choppers in Melbourne, Florida, has announced that
it will build 5 "working" lightcycles and sell them off for
$35,000. But if that's outside of a Tron fan's price range, they
might still be able to recreated their favorite film on the
street.
Two companies will offer Tron-related custom motorcycle
apparel in conjunction with the upcoming movie. In January, the
French boutique Les Ateliers will offer a designer motorcycle
helmet as seen in the original movie.
Those who want the complete outfit will have to go through a
separate company. Clutch and Chrome reports that UD Replicas are
offering two full body suits based off of the designs in the
remake. The "Sam Flynn" design will be for male riders who want to
look like the film's male protagonist, while "Quorra" will let
biker chicks dress up like Olivia Wilde in the new film. Both come
with jackets, pants, gloves and boots that can bought either
individually or as a package. The complete male suit will run for
$995, while the female suit will be slightly cheaper at $899.
