could be useful for the tailgaters, light their way a bit more, so its easier for them. Yes, closer, closer, BABOOOM! muhahahaha!
I saw something on discovery channel a while back when they made a 50cc rocket and strapped it to a bike, cruising at 20-30mph with the sound of a jet warming up. absolutely beautiful....

did the microjet says (air start)?

Air start (if they don't have big cone shaped things by the front then they are not autostart with electric motors) is usually done with a power drill or something like that, outdoor petrol blower vacs can be used too.
Auto start would be good on a bike... imagine starting them up next to a boy racer muahahaha... they would shit themselves!

would give burnout a new meaning (good burger too), mmm I love the smell of napalm in the morning..
kickstart my heart !!!
wow, been reading jet pages for hours after seeing that, interesting stuff

When I was a youngun I always wanted to make pulsejet powered model aircraft - unfortunately I was not in the financial league to be able to replace the rubber-band-powered model my mum trashed (the kit had been a gift and it was almost completed) Simple balsa gliders were about the limit of my budget. Always woanted to have radio controlled planes - especially the jet-powered ones.
A jet powered (or assisted) bike sounds like fun but I dunno about cornering - I'm guessing that it would not corner too well under full jet thrust.

I like bikes
Like Harleys-all straightline power and no cornering ?

Surely the only practical way of powering a motorcycle with a jet engine would be to use a jet turbine, like the Y2K. The turbine in the Y2K is typical boys toy overkill. I'd love to see what could be done using a sensibly sized engine of maybe 150-200 hp hooked up to a gearbox. In theory the thing would be light as, but I guess the problem would be the slow response time of a jet engine.

I think you should try.

ok your on.
my first one will be top the following spec, hopefully will be able to run it off LPG or possibly butane.

With "pyro" in your handle, it could go either way....

I reckon it could be hooked up to some sort of budget (rotate the whole motor not the tip) thrust vectoring quite easily, either mini hydraulics or servo powered. - then that baby would turn almost as good.
Anyone know how fast the Y2K actually went? (Top speed, 0-100 etc)
Would be similar to the American Abrams M1A1/2 etc tanks which have 1600hp turbines with trannys hooked up, and all those national flights around NZ are usually turbo prop saabs. 'Jet lag' for those (mini) sized motors would be about 5 seconds from idle to max and a little bit less to get to 70%. With rpm's of around 70-100,000rpm you wouldn't want to screw a gear change though, and leave a huge pile of shredded metal that used to be a gearbox and engine
