For you young'uns at 12,000kph it's 386000 years to our closest star (Proxima Centauri) so you had better take a female pillion if you want your decendents to arrive. If you want to get to the centre of our galaxy (Milky Way) it's 2.69 billion years so you had better shift up into top gear. At 12,000 kps it's 749000 years.

    Well, yes, if you going to get all technical about the speed of light and such. But I assume that a sucky hover thing is going to have a flux capacitor drive so that's THAT sorted.

    It was originally an advert that we ran a few years ago now - but as usual I had to work to time constraints and never really finished the piece - this week I'm reasonably quiet and finishing it off - still needs some detail work - then I might do some posters.

    I was always fascinated by 80's sci fi novel covers - that was the inspiration.

    Might even write some some sci fi to complement the pic one day - Superbikes meets the stars in 2400ad - type thing.
