The 2004 Movie "Torque" featured a Jet Powered Motorcycle that was really something to see and hear!
In my Army Days, Posts, I mentioned a young friend of mine, Brian O who was big into building Drag Racers and the like when he got a bit Older.
Brian built an Alouette Helicopter , Gas Turbine Engine ( everyone calls them Jets) into a Motorcycle Frame , and invited me around for the first startup!
He used a Pit bike to start the unit turning , when it later took , the rush of noise, combined with an immediate lack of Oxygen in the vicinity was literally "Breathtaking".
We virtually collapsed out of there.
Later I assisted Brian with building a twin Engined Jet Go-Kart, He had picked up 2 Compact Jet Motors with some Solid Fuel for them.
Brian Started it , in the Garage ( no wheels on it , yet), and it took off and went through the Back Wall!
When he tried to get more Fuel for it was nearly arrested , as the Fuel was classed as an explosive , which a Private Person could not legally purchase in South Africa.
