Bike Race playfield

Playfield

  • yellow
  • pink
  • black
  • orange

Fingerprint: BIKE RACE title in pink blocks on apron, mushroom-bumpers glowing magenta under yellow starburst, four clear bumpers with magenta caps, two white targets with black propeller-rose motif, magenta-white chevron arrow upper-right lane, chequered racing flag, four comic pin-up figures scattered edges, speedometer dial on apron, circular yellow emblem between pink letters, motor-racing carnival scene, bright comic-strip colours

Distinctive

The most identifying feature is the pair of giant pink-outlined BIKE and RACE words splashed across the apron, separated by a ring of curved pink lettering around a yellow medallion, with a circular speedometer dial below showing a red needle. Four clear mushroom bumpers glowing magenta under a yellow starburst, plus two square white targets printed with a black propeller or compass-rose fan, form a distinctive cluster in the upper playfield. A large magenta-and-white chevron arrow on the upper right lane and a chequered racing flag on the right are strong motor-racing cues. Four comic pin-up figures are scattered round the outer edges of the playfield rather than gathered in one scene. A cream paper instruction card is taped at the lower left of the cabinet beside the speedometer.

Full description

A tall, narrow, front-on photograph of a pinball playfield seen through the glass, with the backbox lower edge and a grandstand of silhouetted spectators visible across the very top. The artwork is a motor-racing carnival scene painted in bright comic-strip style: a dense yellow-and-orange burst fills the upper third, four round mushroom-shaped bumpers with clear bodies and magenta-pink caps stand in two rows across the upper playfield, and two square white targets bearing a black fan or propeller-wheel motif sit left and centre. A black-and-white chequered racing flag appears near the top centre-right, and a large magenta-and-white chevron arrow points to the right along the upper right lane. Metal ramps, wire guides, chrome rails and posts criss-cross the middle, where a grid of small brightly coloured rectangular inserts is set in rows. A curved bank of round chrome bumpers arcs across the mid-left, and a large yellow star-and-chevron arrow graphic points down-right at centre. Pin-up figures are scattered around the edges: a woman in an orange outfit at upper right, a woman with long dark hair in a red top at lower left-centre, a man in a red jacket and dark cap at the left, and another dark-haired woman at lower right. Two white-tipped flippers sit below. The bottom apron carries huge pink-outlined block letters reading BIKE on the left and RACE on the right, with pink letters curved around a yellow circular emblem between them.

Fourth, the pair of blonde women in white swimsuits with red side panels standing dead centre. The black-and-white chequered flag behind the title and the yellow PETACO badge in the top right corner are further identifying details.

A giant floating motorcycle helmet with a real face inside it, lettered RHESS across the forehead and Rothmans on the chin, is the unmistakable centrepiece. The title BIKE RACE is enormous, slanted red block lettering over a chequered flag, with a yellow-and-magenta zigzag banner and a blue PETACO badge in the top right corner.

Full description

A brightly coloured motorcycle-racing backglass. Across the top a yellow, magenta and lime-green zigzag banner carries the title BIKE RACE in huge slanted block capitals, red-filled with white and black outlines, set over a black-and-white chequered flag; a blue trapezoid at top right reads PETACO in yellow. The centre is dominated by an oversized floating motorcycle helmet, blue and white with a red top, printed RHESS in bold black across the brow and Rothmans in a red box on the chin, with a tanned male face visible inside. To the left a rider in red, white and black leathers leaps with both arms up; to the right a second rider in red leathers crouches low over a red-and-white machine. Between them two tanned women in white-and-red one-piece swimsuits stand side by side smiling, one with blonde hair, the other dark-haired. Above them a man in white leathers marked elf and HONDA raises a green bottle. The background is a green hillside and pale blue sky with blue spotlight blobs. Along the bottom edge a row of five small racing bikes and riders lean into a corner, with two clock dials and two blue lamps below the glass.
