Subject: motorcycle toy
What is the name of that toy?!
It was a stunt dirt bike with a (detachable?) rider. You had to put it on a base where you would crank up the lever until it gained enough speed to take off by itself. It made a cool sound, similar to the noise Tazmanian Devil makes when he's spinning. At first, its color was a mix of red, white and blue. The newer version was all black.

I don't remember this particular one but in the late 70's/early 80's they made the Evel Knievel Stunt Bike, Rocket Cycle, etc. Same thing...I hated it when your hand slipped off the crank and you bashed your knuckles on the concrete. Peace gang!
