    Amazing...

    Makes me think that when nanotech is common place, we'll see Hayabusa-type bikes folding up like a Transformer into a briefcase to stow under a seat or workbench in the garage.

    Looks like it was all manually done too! Bloody impressive. I got the CNC to spit out an 18cc V8, but gave up on the valves.
