    Easy just add a Jetranger turbine......
    Its wicked sounding for sure, doesn't look like it would do corners too well as its quite long and no doubt heavy.
    Still the best bit is having the ability to melt cagers bumpers behind you with the 1200F exhaust temps oh and doing 400km/hr wouldn't be too bad either.

    I saw the jet car they had at "Too hot to Handle" (Wgtn's not so Big Boys Toys). Hmmm That engine on two wheels - Can you spell D E A T H W I S H? When he went under the pedestrian overamp he was damn close to the centre column. Very quick though....

    Major server outage on the west coast of the US at the moment. Re-routing of traffic is causing huge probs with IP jitter apparently.

    I heard the "riiiiiiiing" but there was no "ding ding ding"

    maybe they forgot to put the dingy bits in the bike
    :-(

    Got another writeup in a mag lately of that bike, amazing piece of enginering but not my cup of tea.

    Maybe they got half off the powerbands when they went to store, but didn't realise they were getting half off the powerband, not the price. Hence all that ring and all that power but no bloody ding. Take it back to the shop I say!

    So did they put the engine in the bike or build the bike around the engine?

    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Hell of a noise, I reckon. That'd drive me nuts. I like my piston engine intake roar and exhaust note, thanks. That, and I'm not going to lose a leg if I put it too close to the exhaust vent!

    Farking insane bike, stupidly rapid, damn expensive too. But not my cup of tea either.
