      Kaneda's PowerBike 
     for GTA San Andreas 
    by AMA 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

	Many anime fans may recognize this motorcycle from Katsuhiro Otomo's 80's anime cult classic "Akira". In Neotokyo, Kaneda uses his powerbike against a rival bike gang known as the Clowns. Later the bike is also used in evading attacks from his telekinetic and psychopathic childhood friend Tetsuo Shima. If you've never seen the movie, I highly reccomend it.

	This bike was modeled from scratch in 3dstudiomax6 with movie screenshots and other poor resources. ~39,790 polys. Enjoy!

	The front wheel magically swivels without a steering mechanism. I was trying to keep the wheel from penetrating the fender because it turns about 40 degrees. Most GTA bikes aren't set up with the tire confined to a limiting space like this one. So, any pipes or the such sticking into the wheel would swivel through that, and tweeking the pivot to work with those bars just made the tire penetrate. It was a cunundrum. :( I tried my best to keep to the original blueprints but some sacrifices were nessesary.
