I love it. When it's coming to mame?

@keinert Ah, sorry I don't own one sadly, I was just really curious how it worked. Amazing how clever it is.
I'd love to buy an R360 though, though getting one in the UK would be pretty slim probably.

Replacement 8-track tapes are available, or if you want to replace the entire tape deck, I sell solid state sound units on my website. I have recorded all of the original sounds from the 8-track tape into solid state integrated chips. They sound much better than the original tapes because I have removed all the pops, clicks, and other analog noise.

@keinert Really? I did wonder why it sounded so good, I did think it was the old card flipping through spokes at one point.
What happens if that ever needs replacing? I know that some of the audio tapes on Journey arcade machines have rotted over the years and some people have converted them to run on an MP3 player. Or are you one of the "original parts only" guys? :D

The bike movement is controlled by a set of two cams that spin and activate several switches that reverse the voltage being applied to the turntable motors that the bikes are mounted on. The cams have a pattern cut into their outside diameter. This pattern activate the switches at different times to give the appearance of random bike movement. No transistors involved. It's all electromechanical.

the sounds are recorded on an 8-track tape.
