Jet Powered Bike

As in a jet powered bicycle.

I think it would be fun.

At around 13 years old, I used to push my bicycle to the top of West Mountain (we lived in a valley, Hot Springs, AR)) and come flying down with the 50-mph speedo pegged. At that speed it was impossible to keep the bike in the right lane and it would have been all over if I had ever met a car coming up. Some day I might write a large book titled "STUPID THINGS I HAVE DONE".

But if the jet idea don't make you think, Try a radial engine motorcycle!

I think Jay Leno has some sort of turbine powered bike.

They're not sure how fast it goes.
