Jet Powered Motorcycles!

All Videos Courtesy of Youtube.

The 2004 Movie "Torque" featured a Jet Powered Motorcycle that was really something to see and hear!

In my Army Days, Posts, I mentioned a young friend of mine, Brian O who was big into building Drag Racers and the like when he got a bit Older.

Brian built an Alouette Helicopter , Gas Turbine Engine ( everyone calls them Jets) into a Motorcycle Frame , and invited me around for the first startup!

He used a Pit bike to start the unit turning , when it later took , the rush of noise, combined with an immediate lack of Oxygen in the vicinity was literally "Breathtaking".

We virtually collapsed out of there.

Later I assisted Brian with building a twin Engined Jet Go-Kart, He had picked up 2 Compact Jet Motors with some Solid Fuel for them.

Brian Started it , in the Garage ( no wheels on it , yet), and it took off and went through the Back Wall!

When he tried to get more Fuel for it was nearly arrested , as the Fuel was classed as an explosive , which a Private Person could not legally purchase in South Africa.

So perhaps Governments purpose other than removing the weight of your tax money?, is to ruin your Fun?

Hope you enjoy these Videos on items you can lust after! But probably never own?
