Hope this isn't a repost. From the same guy who brought you the jet-powered Bug (http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/) comes the jet-powered scooter (http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/08/15/ron-patricks-jet-powered-scooter/).

Now all he needs is a kickstand that isn't two can of paint thinner/kerosene/other flamable stuff.
It's a Jetzz... :laugh:
Tad, you turbo'd a jet engine? Nice.....

Yeah I couldn't Identify it at first, didn't want to sound like a noob.
But I see you went with the Millenium Falcon hyperdrive kit, I guess you were worried about the extra weight of the Enterprise? I know the Enterprise kit totally porks handling.
You know they just came out with the N.S.A. Protector kit, it balances handling and power really well.

OMFG THAT IS SO GREAT! Is it bolt on?
It looks like you have to be leaned over the tank at all times though.....

The Defiant Class warp core is the way to go. (Sorry for crappy photochop 2mins of effort = 2 seconds worth of staring time.)
(Actually what would have been way better is if I did some "fuel" lines and actually spent more than 6 seconds on the brackets BWAHAHAH)
The Enterprise kit is definitely the best. It hasn't hurt my handling at all, and it adds something like 2.7X10^43 horsepower. I haven't been out to the dyno yet, so that's a butt dyno figure.

Starship creator screenie chop right?
:dunno_white: I just google "Enterprise side view."
Or, err, I mean, that's just a picture of my bike. Don't you like my modzz?
Oh, you went with the underseat warp core? Aren't those only good for short runs though? Like only 2 -3 light years?
Yeah I haven't mounted the Nacelles yet, I'm actually concentrating on the phaser array for the cellphone wielding cagers.

No, they're actually pretty solid, as long as you keep the coolant in good condition. Once your core coolant starts leaking, it's pretty much all over. You've got to dump the warp core.
If you're really looking for high speed over short distances, you can get a few more giga-horses out of your core if you reverse the polarity on your tachyon grid. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?
Yeah I guess. I've still got all this antique info on INTERNAL COMBUSTION stuck in my head though.....
You are all NERDS!
I like it. Finally, more of my kind minus the treky crap. HAHA

aaron, how do you ride that thing? Doesn't the nacelle squish you, or is there one on each side?
And this is like a nerdgasm.
eh im likin the Färkensköter better :laugh:
Yeah I was going to use a beryllium sphere, but they're so hard to get your hands on.
And they're pretty heavy too.
