Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned - Additional activities - Motorbike race - game guide, walkthrough, secrets, game tips & strategies

After completing few missions, red and white icons presenting crash helmets appear on your map. If you drive up to them on your bike, you can take part in a race.

There’s nothing difficult in racing itself. The most important is that you can use baseball bat while driving. Use it to beat all competition during the race.

By pressing [X] and [B] you decide where Johnny swings the bat (left or right). If you only press the button, the character will slightly punch his opponent. As a result, he will lose control over the machine for a while and go to the side of the road. Remember that your opponent can do the same thing.

If you press [X] or [B] longer, Johnny will perform a strong swing. In this way you can knock your rival off the bike. If you knock off 69 bikers, achievement ‘TLAND: Get Good Wood’ will be unblocked.

What kind of bike should you chose for the race? It depend on your taste. Typical American chopper (e.g. Xexer) is great for turning and seems to be very stable. However imported goods, race motorbikes (e.g. Double T) are not so good at turning and it is easier to fall over. On the other hand, they are better at speeding and are slightly faster than choppers.

There are 12 races. You get $500 for the first one. Then the rate gets higher on $250 with every race.

Motorbike race is a great way to improve Clay’s and Terry’s military ability. By taking part in them, you also work to achieve ‘TLAD: Full Chat’.
