RE: Jay Leno's Jet bike
Yea I saw that in a different video, I think its a motor out of a helicopter, it starts slower than traditional bikes, but the thing quickly picks up and is GONE!! I wonder if its been at the salt flats, that would be cool to see.

Here is a little more info on the bike.. http://www.marineturbine.com/motorsports.asp I also read somewhere that at 160 it was spitting chuncks of rubber off of the rear wheel.. Looks like its got a very impressive top speed.. Safe riding.. Chris

RE: Jay Leno's Jet bike
I like. They had his bike on the Jay Leno show one night not long ago. And they were seeing how long it would take to fully melt a frozen popsicle by the exhaust from start up. It took 20 seconds!!! lol.... That's some heat.
