Only Pee Wee Herman can handle a ride like that!

My cousin put a 175 Ducati engine on a mini bike frame (one of those kiddie ones that came with like a 3 hp engine) and I have to tell ya, it was pretty darn scary. He took it off of that and put it on a go-cart frame and mass fun ensued.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

I already have canned butter, buying more. Canned blueberries, some pancake making dry goods and the end of the world is gonna be delicious.  -French G

It's all about the pancakes, people.

Ha!  Back in 2004 I built a turbine engine like they described.  Fun project!  There's really enough free info on the web to DIY without plans, though.

I'm with you, but if I'm going to be going 100mph in an 80 pound vehicle 4 inches off the ground with a tank of propane between my legs and an incandescent miniature version of an onion-domed Russian church 10 inches above my head, I think I'll at least start off on the right foot and get the plans...

the proximity of some of the fuel tanks on these home jets are scary.
