That's nice, real nice. Do you have one yet, or tried one out?

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

  Don't think I'll ever own one
  If I get the chance I'll defiantly ride one.
  I am glad to see they went with a more traditional look for the bike, especially the "flathead" look to the motor.
  
  Thanks

Saw that on TV the other day.
Travels faster than the speed of sound.

(Guess that would make crashes REALLY messy!)

This also has the one I posted the other day in it. But 5 others that are pretty cool as well.

The jetpack, while almost ready for commercial production I know, strikes me as totally ridiculous.

Thanks

Here is a picture and video of the jetpack, pretty cool, probably have specialized landing pads for these things around Petrol stations, (or at least for the wealthy)! Sigh! :rolleyes:

I noticed this thing behind it that offers some protection from elements and birds and bugs in the air, I'd reckon, making flight somewhat safer. It's called a "helicopter" and doesn't even need parachutes to land.

Jetpacks are problematic. You have to have the right balance, make sure you have enough fuel, etc... And what of the drunk or stupid people? Once, I saw a couple women that managed to take these HEAVY ornaments off, and put them on their second floor balcony rail. Sounds dumb, huh? They could fall, scratch the building, etc... MAYBE take a chunk out of the building! Well, there was a massive earthquake. They FLEW, went over the sidewalk and hit a car. They weighed AT LEAST 25 pounds, so just falling would have been around 270 foot pounds (about 123KG)! But these FLEW, so they weighed more. They basically TOTALED the car! IMAGINE if that were a person falling from hundreds of feet!
