Is it something like Leno's jet bike?

Thanks Hence. I remember reading about them folks in a bike rag awhile back. Seemed like some fun stuff.

I wonder how the lag is.

"I live my life a quarter mile at at time"..............."That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard"........."TORQUE".......bad acting....hot chick.......X2....

I'm not about the "storebought" hot rod jet bike. Anybody can build one with bazillions of dollars. I'm all about the guy that goes out and builds one from a JY turbo and some exhaust tubing and then RIDES it!!!!! Ha!!!!! Need a wheelbarrow for them nads, sir?!

 

[HISSIN50]

Will, I'm not as bad as you - "I live my life an eighth at a time.................. Oh you thought I meant the eighth mile............ An eighth of Everclear at a time."

Reddy, I hear ya about doing your own build-up. But you're nuts for needing a turbo. The literbikes are PLENTY fast for someone like me (how far into the single digit 1320's do you want to go? ) and having a relatively flat torque band is nice. Nothing like coming out of lag to make ya crap yourself. I cant..... I cant... help myself. It'd be like Tubgirl.

 

[TurboSnake95]

Nice

We need to put a turbine jet engine in a Mustang now

 

[Henceforward]

It'd be like Tubgirl.

That would be rough for sure...

I say: This bike uses a homemede gas turbine engine. You know, like a jet engine. Not a turbo'ed piston engine. The piston engine is removed from this one.

You are VERY right. N/A crotch rockets are fast/quick enough, thank you.

You guys are never gonna let me live this down are you....

You're right. I missed where you were talkin about building a homemade Jet-powered bike - I thought we digressed to chatting building NA gas bikes in general. My bad.

Do another shot of Everclear Jt.......and two for me.......

I live life an eighth at a time. I'll take my eighth, and you Mr Horse-whisperer, will show me up by running a 1/4 instead.
