Flamethrower?

**Coyote** · 15th December 2004, 13:29

Has anyone put/made a Exhaust flamethrower on their bike. Is it any good, Is it a stupid idea, does it cost too much?

Oh yeah - I've had them on all my bikes.
Great idea - you can use them to stop people following too closely, cook your dinner over them, warm yourself up on cold nights, use them to burn off scrub, strip paint off things, etc. etc.
No - they don't cost too much, but you need to wear asbestos bike shorts. Just in case.

Bit of twiddling with your mixture screws and it'll be all on, dude.

Let me know how you go...

Turkey baster full of kerosene stuffed down your jacket. Reach back while riding, squirt into exhaust. Job's a good 'un.

Argh, just seen some prices for some kitsets. Can anyone tell me how to make your own?

Jeepers.

You're *serious*, aren't you.

No. Not applicable. Yes. Of course, in more ways than you could possible imagine.
