Got to see a Jet Bike @ work- Pics included
Wow, talk about ultimate play toy! FYI if you don't know me, I work at an airport so it was nothing out of the ordinary to hear a jet engine, except when it comes from a motorcycle! 
I was able to take some pics and got a chance to talk to the guy and he gave me some info:
Frame/chassis: Custom
Engine: Turbine jet engine out of a Marchetti 260 Turboprop (Seen here in piston prop form)
Transmission: 2 speed tranny out of a Toyota Camry. (I'm gueesing 2nd & 5th gears?)
Top Speed: Quote: "The guy who made it promises over 250 mph." I don't really doubt him either cause I've seen Jay Leno's jet bike do the same kind of numbers
Discuss and enjoy! ^.^ I freaking LOVE the paint scheme... can u tell I like airplanes?

This the Y2K jet bike built by MTT (Marine Turbine Technologies). The bike is powered by a reconditioned Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine out of a helicopter. This one is cool because it is "naked" and has a bad *** airbrush job. These bikes go for $150,000 and up. Jay Leno was one of the only Americans I have ever heard to own one of these. Pretty cool!
