Serious Horsepower

Whilst attending a round of the Aussie V8 Supercar series today in Melbourne, I was wandering around the paddock with my 8 year old son who spotted this item.

Now you seriously have to wonder about a guy who puts a Rolls Royce jet engine into a motorbike, and also about his thoughts of how long the rear tyre will last. I guess he's not after traction, just something to stop the rear end dragging along the ground. :confused:

Which is probably a good idea 'cause he seems to have 2 very large tanks of rocket fuel suspended either side of the jet engine outlet.

Is it just me or is it a good idea to have your fuel tanks right next door to the flame part of the jet engine ?? :eek:

At least he has named the contraption appropriately..... ;)

And I love the mandrel bent exhaust......... :cool:

That must have been one big-arse pipe bender ..... :eek:

How long do the authorities let him out of confinement on the weekends to ride?

The rider was nowhere to be seen. I was looking around for someone with scars from a frontal lobotomy as the likely candidate who rides this thing but alas he was probably already locked up safely in his cell for the night.
