After meeting Will from streetfighter mag today we headed back to Bikcraft for a beer, standing around when we hear what sounds like a jet engine pretty close, nah, couldn't be. Well fuck me, there goes a jet engined motorcycle [:0] goes round the block then pulls in the driveway[:p] the sound is awesome, Clint had his camera so expect pics soon:D

Awesome. Those bikes are pretty cool. This is probably a re-post, but there's a few vids of Jay Leno on his in youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtK11FcmUps

What do jet powered bikes corner like? Pretty shit I should imagine if there's no drive through the rear wheel?

There is drive through the rear wheel. They use helicopter engines so there's an output shaft on the motor. There's a chain and sprocket, just like a more conventionaly powered bike.
