Brooklyn's Motorcycle.

Brooklyn's motorcycle was designed and built by Lexington. Brooklyn took it out on its maiden joyride, where it was destroyed by a motorcycle gang whom he tried to befriend.

History

On November 7th, 1994, the Trio find an old abandoned motorcycle. Lexington spends the next nights rebuilding it. [1][2] When the motorcycle was finally ready, Brooklyn drove it around Manhattan, briefly encountering Officers Morgan and Travanti. Shortly after that, he encountered a motorcycle gang. The gang attacked the gargoyle rider as soon as they realized he wasn't human. The altercation led to gunfire that destroyed Brooklyn's bike in a fiery explosion. Demona eventually came to Brooklyn's aid and used this incident to turn Brooklyn against the human race (although later he'd realize she twisted the truth). At sunrise, Brooklyn broke the news that the bike exploded. Lex and Broadway never did get a turn. ("Temptation")

Production Background

The motorcycle was the first of three toy-driven elements made by Kenner that the production team consciously incorporated in the series. Not seeing a place for it in long term, however, the production team blew it up before the first commercial break. [3] The toy was released as the Rippin' Rider Cycle.
