No turbine sheilding or anything. I would hate to be anywhere close if that turbine ever shelled out. You would look like swiss cheese after it was done with you.

Well, I guess that one could beat my 12R

Any links to that pic. ? Wondering what it runs in the 1/4 mile ??? Would look a heck of alot better with fairings IMHO

I have an old Honda 450, and it's fast enough for my sorry a$$.

That frame looks awfull skinny, wonder if it wobbles or gets tank slappers above 200mph?

Crouch rocket ring a bell.

I don't see any fuel nozzles on that engine...

I was thinking the same. The frame appears to be on the slender side for the power it must be putting to the ground. Good wheelbase though. Needs a steering tamper and I wouldn't want to be the one laying across that tank with the projectile gas cap .



Reminds me of "Monster Garage" , 'cept different

Is it complete yet? If you look close at the rear wheel, there is no drive line, belt or chain that you can see. I wonder if it is powered with the thrust of the turbine?

there is no way it can be complete, the fuel nozzle holes in the engine are covered in metal tape

I wonder if this is the same people who made a turbine bike for Jay Leno? I forgot where i read it but I seem to rember Jay saying something about melting the ground effects on a honda civvic, they also make a pick up.

it is obviously trust powered, the powerplant looks like the turbine from a military air starter cart which is why it has 2 exhaust pipes, the bottom one is the original exhaust and the top one is the compressed air feed for starting the fighter engine.



It looks like there is a juel feed into the top exhaust to make an afterburner for more thrust as the compressed air feed was off the intake compressor and never had any fuel in it, straight compressed air



the frame is also rigid and long which also points at a drag bike
