In 1996 my brother-in-law, was almost killed in an accident. It happen in Denmark(jutlandia) He was about to turn left, when a car from the opposite side of the road crash right into him. What I understand from it then the driver was occupied with something else and didn't see him(my brother-in-law) he also drove to fast(don't know how fast, the speedlimit was 50km/h)

Many times during his stay at the ER he was near death. he was in the hospital for almost 7 month

Today he lives well and are stil driving bikes

Jeezus, that speed was unbelievable. One sneeze and there would have bee bike- and body-parts scattered up the next 1/2 mile of road.

The jet bike sounded fantastic though....

This bike appeals to the pilot in me...

Although, coz the engine is mounted cross-ways, (or I think the correct term is transverse) one hard rev and you would probably slam it on its right-hand side.


This one is in-line and is my favourite:
