No time to listen now but this seems more like an entertaining form of suicide than anything at all practical. I wonder about the exhaust heat when idle at a stop light or starting line. I can just see the nose or grill of some plastic vehicle behind this melting.

Jay Leno has a first generation turbine powered bike.

He admitted to melting a front bumper on a vehicle behind him at a stop light!

Yikes! June bugs hurt a 60 mph. Just Imagine 230! The power to weight ratio is scary.

Those obscenely loud Harleys are bad enough.

This is just dumb.

Unfortunately, they both only exist in my wildest wettest dreams Gett'n to old and couldn't keep up with either one. But who needs Viagra® with that Blondie?
