Don't forget the "Stay Back.. Jet Blast" Flashing sign.. apparently on his first test drive he melted the bumper/paint of a car following him in traffic on one of his first test drives.... From Jay's own lips on a TV/Car show..

.... just that the Jet-bike IS in production and roadworthy, although not really economical.....
But hey, just the start-up steals the show!
Imagine:
# "CLEAR!!"
# Wind it to N2 > 12%
# Ignite!
# Modulate T4 within limits until N2 is 40%
# Idle at Ground-Idle for 1 min
# Do not exceed N2 = 105% for more than 2 min - Keep T4 at 800ºC for max cruise power!
# Do not exceed local speed limits - optional!
# HEARING PROTECTION RECOMMENDED!

.....oh well, can't have it all!
Give me the bike!

Maybe Jay Leno would like to add it to his stable of unusual vehicles.
He could park it right next to his jet powered motorcycle.

OK. You got me. I failed for another MPS (Moller Publicity Stunt).
$4,000,000. Yeah right. It might be interesting to invest $10,000 just
to have eight, air-cooled rotaries at 100hp each to put on the front of
LSAs. Other than that, what use would the thing be (except to say that
you have it.)
