Jay Leno is a true gear head. I met him a few years ago at B-J and we talked about his jet motorcycle. It has a turbin powered jet helicopter engine in it that makes more power that faster it goes. When I asked how fast is it he said nobody has ever had the balls to find out! One guy had it up to 220 and got skeerd.

Jeesh. I freakin imagine he would!

I loce the story he tells about melting the front bumper of a car that pulled too close to the bike.
Also there was one guy who describe the acceleration "as if the hand of god is pushing you".

Is it just a matter of time before someone mounts a GE9X engine on a boat?
Maybe the 40 million per engine may be an issue..

The jet bike? God, I love the start up when the combustor lights...
