GRIFF-EDITIONS

The bikes of New Kyushu are sentient, and can often be seen riderless, travelling the wastes...

This is the 3Moons Automotive 21-O3 Riastrad.

Ah, the Riastrad. Many 3Moons bikes are described as fast but to label this bike with that seems trite. It is not fast, it is photon-quick. This thing, when allowed to, effects time. Riders have certainly reported ageing ten years on a short ride, when only 8 seconds have passed for onlookers. To even describe them as onlookers is a misnomer, as they wont have seen anything beyond a blur. The only thing to witness when viewing a Riastrad at full pelt is the doppler-effected sound of the riders last screams. As a result, most have been fitted with a Limiter, which naturally effects their personalties as well as their speed. So if they appear a bit slow on the uptake, it is only down to the chip ensuring a journey on its back is a survivable experience. 

Personality: Depends on the presence of the Limiter chip. Has an unfair reputation as being unintelligent but this purely a result of being deliberately inhibited.  Many have removed the chips. Few have survived. 

Common names - The chipped ones cant remember, the un-chipped ones dont stop long enough to tell you.
