Dude, you just wanted to say something out of the context! As far as I know this is not a cropping forum where you learn to crop pictures. :beer:

The top speed registered so far on the first was only 80 Kph. There are a lot of motor-paced folks going considerably faster.

You kids are pathetic... Back when I was your age, we would do a six-day race, then head to the ol' velodrome for some jet-bikin' fun to relax. Sheesh! Heres a pic of me and my ridding buddies...

...those look more like ROCKETS than JETS!...

As to your sig..."Consult the book of armaments!"

Gotta' get some of those socks!!!

Thanks for the laughs. Funniest pictures I've seen for awhile.

This is as funny as the sea kayak powered with a small Honda engine. I think it was called Jetyak or some such thing.

SO you were 22 in that picture back in 1940/1950? ;) Looks like an old pic, funny though

I'd sure hate to crash with me between that plastic fuel tank and a hot jet engine. Even at low speed, road rash would be the least of your worries.

...oh, yeah! Fred Rompelberg at 268 km/h!

This Dutch dude still holds the world record. He was 50 years old when he rode a bike auto-drafting a hot fuel dragster across Bonneville Salt Flats in 1995. Evidently you go faster drafting a rocket than strapping one to your bike or back.

OK, least any bent riders are feeling left out... For a bit more info check out http://www.visionbikes.com/BikesJet.html
Go ahead try to draft of this...

As to your sig..."Consult the book of armaments!"Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One....
"And Saint Atila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats...

Of course not silly! Everyone here knows only one of my bikes are less than 25 years old! That pic was taken last weekend!

Oh yeah, and quit making fun of my socks...
