    I bet you'd get very courteous passes when cycling that - particularly with the "after-burners" lit...

    I think your passes of cars will be as courteous as you decide to make them.

    Getting a 20 in a couple of weeks. I decided a Dynohub was more useful than a pulse jet as one of the two options might get me pulled in by traffic cops.

    Do pulse-jet bikes have to pay road t....sorry, vehicle excise duty?

    @allebong - based on the emissions, probably! But a small price to pay for the safety bubble afforded by a fireball...

    I tried that back in my younger days with an old shopper and about 2 dozen firework rockets*.

    Wasn't quite as successful - but probably louder!

    * - don't try this at home kids - back in the early 80s things were a lot safer!
