Pretty much insanity 


BTW, I think it is actually a ROCKET bike, rather than a jet-action.

No, its a jet, albeit a simple jet, rockets carry the oxidiser as part of the fuel load, jets get the oxidiser from the air. This machine looks to be burnimg gas from a propane cyclinder so will be using oxygen from the air.

I think it's a pulse jet.

This guy has a different idea on motor assist, an interesting contraption.

It seems like a wonderful idea to add a rocket or jet engine to a touring bike.  Imagine: the enjoyment of cycling across the countryside with the time-efficiency of aircraft travel. 

However, I wonder if attaching a rocket or jet engine to my Nomad would void the frame warranty.  I have carefully read the Nomad brochure, and Andy is very clear that attaching a kickstand will void the warranty, but surprisingly there is no mention of rockets or jets.  Could this omission be a simple oversight?  Or did Andy design the strong Nomad frame with rockets and jets in mind?

You made my entire morning, Dave. Thanks so much. I haven't laughed that hard for awhile!

Best,

where's that Darwin Award nomination form again?

On the other hand it IS one way to get noticed by distracted motorists.
