Re: Need a new set of wheels?
Still cheaper than the jet fuel it *ought* to be running on... in any case, it gets around 1 MPG, so you can translate "cost per gallon" to "cost per mile" quite quickly...
I noted four things:
If you can't afford the bike, you definitely can't afford the fuel...

Re: Need a new set of wheels?
Bummer! I just clicked it from the post... it came up, but perhaps I've got it cached. Can you search Youtube for it?

Re: Need a new set of wheels?
It worked for me. Not the first jet engined bike I have seen but this one seemed well finished. Working for an airline proper JET-A1 fuel access is not a problem so getting more power out of it would not be a problem

Re: Need a new set of wheels?
yeahh....
I'll pass. That kind of engine is called "jet engine" for a reason . Only exception would be if someone made jet boots, -That- would be awesome

Re: Need a new set of wheels?
I'm just wondering where that came from.
There isn't a big difference between kerosene-type jet fuel and diesel fuel, and from what I can tell in my area it's the jet fuel that's cheaper. Price data is available from the US DOE: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pe..._dcu_nus_m.htm |
