Free Printable Motorcycle models, motorcycle activities



Motorcycles fascinate almost every boy I know and many girls, too. The ultimate fantasy for a many a man and boy is to take off for weeks of travel on a motorcycle, seeing the sights from his bike. Movies like The Motorcycle Diaries and books such as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance show just how addictive the riding of a motorcycle can be.
If you or someone you love is crazy about motorcycles, then you need these free printable coloring pages featuring over one hundred different types of motorcycles. You can print classic Harley-Davidson sportsters and hogs, vintage Norton, Ariel and BSA, crotch rockets, Japanese speed racing bikes, BMW touring bikes and many more motorcycles.
I carefully weeded out all the internet links that aren't user-friendly and narrowed it down to four websites that have the easiest coloring pages to print. No user ID is required. No download or Java required. You may need Adobe Acrobat reader for a few, but most of the coloring pages are simple click and print coloring pages. You will also need to turn off any pop-up blocker you may be using. This enables you to open the coloring page window. You can turn off pop-up blockers from the Internet Explorer Tools link.
http://www.coloring-pages-kids.com/coloring-pages/transportation-coloring-pages/motorcycles-coloring-pages/motorcycles-coloring-pages-gallery.php This is a site I don't often use, not because I don't like it, but just because I haven't seen many coloring pages from the site. They seem to feature free printable coloring pages grouped by subject. Coloring-Pages-Kids has a nice assortment of motorcycle coloring pages. Some are whimsical and cartoon images. Others are more realistic and detailed.
http://www.coloring-fun.com/motorcycle-coloring-pages.html Not so large a variety but still some very nice free printable motorcycle coloring pages.
http://www.coloring-pages-book-for-kids-boys.com/harley-davidson-coloring.html These ttwo links come from the same website. I've listed them seperately because one page features all Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the other webpage is more generic motorcycles. I also listed each link seperately because this website while very well laid out, complete, detailed and user-friendly, is difficult to access from URL bars. Bookmark both this link and the next for ease in finding and saving. I've had trouble getting back to the site without these links. And you will want to return to this site frequently for free printable motorcycle and vehicle coloring pages. Not only are there coloring pages featuring specific and clearly labeled vehicles, but also engine and bike components. Some of these coloring pages are more like schematic diagrams. They could easily be used to teach drawing skills for motorcycles.
http://www.coloring-pages-book-for-kids-boys.com/motorcycle-coloring-page.html Bookmark this for the webpage of general motorcycles. Over 70 free printable motorcycle coloring pages on this page. Easy to print.
Enjoy these free printable motorcycle coloring pages! I love them because now I don't have to free draw motorcycles for coloring pages enthusiasts! My coloring pages look cubist rather than realistic!
