Yeah Carl I have a gray beard also..lol.. thats why I dont grow it out !! Mine is salt and pepper...which I dont like..But if it were to be all gray or go back to black..lol..I'd grow it out as I hate to shave..
Yeah that mini bike is cool... it looks like a scary ride though ?? and G's right about the turbine bike... Is that a jet aircraft power supply turbine on there?? It looks like the ones we used in the Air Force years ago...for standby power when we needed to do a systems check on the aircraft, but didnt want to fire the engine's up..

FFR; i'll have to get back to you on the bike and find out what exactly that turbine came off. Russ that beard went last week as I couldn't stand myself any longer, it was brown years ago what the hell happened?

Jeez Carl, that FE didn't leak enough oil, now it's all rusty. 8-(
Far as the beard thing goes, soon as we wake up to frost every morn, I get to grow the winter coat.

FFR428.... I was told the turbine was a starter motor for a larger turbine, my friend said it was around 90 hp. Sorry for the late answer it's hard to comnnect with my welder friend.

I almost had a high time Jet Ranger turbine, was thinking of running a hydraulic pump off it for a 4 wheel drive. Hell 11-1,300 hp will make one think in a mad kind way for a drag car project.
I worked on 501-D13 Allison turbines, 5,300 SHP the same motors used on the C130's. National Airomotive a motor shop for 1830, 2800 pratt's and 501 Allison's. Back then and still now a motor under 1,000 inches is still a hobby toy motor to me. Nothing compares to standing next to a 2800 on test stand pulling power unless it's Top Fuel. Well a Pro Stock motor gets my attention every time be it start up or racing.

From what I was told it will do 150 no problem.
The bad thing it's single speed and has smoked the
clutch pack, it's now a blued rusty ugly mess.
The last time we ran it it spooled up, ran rich
and went into EGT over temp, oops.
