Something tells me this 3,800 HP jet-powered bike isn't the safest or most efficient way to get around town, but then again, you aren't going to fry a crosswalk's worth of schoolchildren to a crisp driving around a Plymouth Voyager. Oh, and the name of the guy who built this monster? Mad Ron Laycock. Ponder that while you hit the jump for another picture of this thing.

WHOA FUCKING SHIT, MAN!! That's all I can say, as both a biker and a pyro..
Hehe heh, hmm hmm, heh. Laycock.
Mr. Laycock is going to fry his namesake off.
@Munch: I BELIEVE ANY COMMENT ON THIS STORY MUST BE IN ALL CAPS.
yeah holy fuck, I can't believe he can actually sit NEAR the engine without it roasting his testicles, I bet his nuts are screaming! (Take that laptops!)
Is that a car behind him?!!!
NEVER flip a guy on this bike a bird. Ever.
What's the Carbon Footprint for that thing?
"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"
is it hybrid?
He's compensating.
wow..i think i can wirte a comic about this guy...
crazy anti-hero drives around on jet bike leveing a path of distruction in his wake as he battles demons...or somthing...
it can be kinda hell boy,lobo,ghost rider ish....
If I ever wanted to set my nuts onto a giant rocket bomb, THIS would be how I would do it.
I can't wait to get one and drive it nowhere!
This is a bike jet, not a jet bike. Since it looks like a jet engine is trying to swallow some guy's Harley like a giant Wachowsky Bros-borne fish.
The Y2K bike wins overall for subtlety.
@phatnacky: Sounds like Lobo.
Before this monstrosity, I was convinced that I would eventually kill myself on a dodge tomahawk...300+ and the tires fail. But this...this....death machine from beyond the thunderdome, it would make the world news. Probably win me a Darwin award. Find me a straight road and sign me up. :)
@radeon21: Of course he's compensating for the weight. With a big engine like that, it's hard enough to balance the bike.
@Adam Frucci
Maybe not a Plymoth Voyager but maybe this Dodge Caravan

At least he's wearing his helmet... that ought to keep him safe.
that thing looks like an Anaconda that just ate someone, . . .or some bike!
@Gustatus Similis Pullus: If you were to survive, Darwin would rise from his Galapagos turtle carapace coffin and eat your brains.
ha..that idiot forgot to put on mirrors, totally not street-legal. he's getting pulled over fo sho.
Jay Leno has one [rollyeyes]
The title of this blog is perfect. In addition, also it is super dangerous for the environment. [www.freetriviagames.org]
@dannnn: He has the Y2K. looks a lot like a crotch rocket, but is stuffed with a helo turbine.
I like Jay Leno's better. He tells all about it here.
@jettajedi: Carbon foot print sorta doesn't describe what this thing would have. It'd be more like a Carbon Continent.
this moves "don't get your panties in a bunch" to a whole new level.
the last through is mind will literally be his ass
When the first picture loaded, I knew deep down that I had finally seen the fucking COOLEST picture on the internet.
Ever.
Not to mention the "put it in my butt" position required to ride this monstrosity.
reminds me of battletoads when your on those things and your barely hanging on to the handles. I hope he doesnt let go
as previously mentioned, somewhere there's a Darwin Award with this guy's name written all over it. Hope he claims it soon, before he has a chance to spread his obviously fried jeans, erm I mean genes.
*note to self: when I start my vigilante career, build a superbike with flames shooting out the exhaust.
For those curious, I'm still mastering my fighting technique.
Redneck. Probably lives in a hut and spend 3 years' salary on this useless thing. Place it in the racing bar stool and lawnmower category. Only thing it's missing is a coors light sticker.
HAIL DEATH RIDER!
I see Nic Cage's head is at it again.
good in the morning rush hour when you are pissed off - Toymota ricer behind...
All that and he's still stationary.
@cygnusx8: and what's wrong with that?
@flyboy: he must be one of dem self-hatin' rednecks.
Comment on 3,800 HP Jet Bike is One Dangerous Way to Travel How many gallons per mile does it use?
@rielistic: they're called brakes
little, tiny, dick.
It's Fuel?
POWERTHIRST!!!
@flyboy: Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm not judging your lifestyle, just not my thing. Keep on rockin'.
Full Throtle
Id call that a real crotch rocket.
Hagrid playing with his dragon-fire bike.
@ElijahPansa: Or better yet, how many per 100 yards?
Reminds me of the one from No More Heros.
for something different, this guy sliced 2 cylinders off of a rolls royce merlin v-12 and built a motorcycle around it
[home.st.net.au]
Bet he never has to worry about tailgaters.
thats hot.
This seems like something Boba Fett would own.
@Klappstuhl:
400 BABIES!
@cygnusx8: There is no way that guy drinks light beer.
@TheCyberBob: LOL Thank you BOB that made my Day!!!!!
The bad news is the thing carries just enough fuel to get you to the next gas station 2 blocks down the road. Also, fire is cool and all, but properly run jet engines don't generally billow clouds of fire and smoke.
@jettajedi:
It must be less than the private jet Al Gore uses to go around and preach his message at $200,000 a pop of how we must all change our lifestyles or the planet is doomed.
@recklessabandon: MEGAPUNS!
^^^ it was upgraded from "TURBOPUNS". in case you were wondering.
