Was at the bike shop today and checking out a very awesome and well made HD Chopper, Arlen Ness polished bullet engine, top of the line paint, Etc. I noticed a plug wire hanging by the back wheel which seemed a bit odd so I had to to look further. The guy actually installed a fuel pump, Nitrious solenoid valve, ignition coil and put a plug in each exhaust pipe. When running along with a push of the control button the fuel / nitrious opens to emit a fuel mixture in to the exhaust stream as the plugs spark to shoot flames out of the pipes. Thought I'd seen just about everything. Cool if it works I guess just seems a bit dangerous.

I use to have something like that set up on my 68 bug juat about 3 inches inside the end of the stinger pipe. Very cool at night until it gave a north miami beach cop a VERY GOOD reason to pullme over. Looking back I don't think shooting 3 foot flames out the rear of my bug going down the main drag of town was the smartest thing to do!

I remember reading an article about Jay Leno. Leno's got a bike powered by a gas turbine from a Jet Ranger helicopter. He tells a story about how some cager in a Lexus pulled up too close behind at a light, he looks in his mirror and the front of the guy's car is melting! Jay says when the light changed he just took off!
