Repost.

I love that video though. It brings a tear to my eye. I wish I had that level of machining aptitude.

I've had dark fantasies of putting a turboshaft small helicopter engine in the rear end of my car, small enough to fit and enough power to take flight, lol. Don't ask about the fuel consumption. I'd get tarred and feathered on this forum for owning a 3mpg Insight

Once you look at the V12 - then advance thru about 12 or 20 topics on wimp.com - or go to wimp.com/guybike/ to see some great bike riding- this guy has drifting down pat---on a cycle!
