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?!

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.

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'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.
