Description
This is one of the Cutter Slave nukebikes from a shorter science-fiction story I'm working on. It's set in an alternate future where the entire world has gone fubar, due to an "Event" that took place in the mid-south United States.

The Cutter is a personnel transport, capable of carrying seven humans including the driver, or roughly one ton of cargo. The bike runs off of a semi-conventional nuclear engine, using a closed mercury loop to generate power internally. It has a high top speed, is relatively maneuverable and very tough. To load cargo and passengers, the mid-section of plates slide apart, exposing the seating/cargo area and a small crane.

The Cutter is used by an enclave of technophilic slavers who are obsessed with the technology that was developed in the days after the Event. Their ultimate goal is to reach the center of the crater which now encompasses much of the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, but due to the crater flooding soon after it formed, this is a near impossibility. The US government constructed a massive rig at the center of the crater to study and research what they'd found there, but it has been inaccessible for decades.

More to come with other models, and the finished model of this crazy bike.

And yes, it's supposed to look like a bug.
