Tulo Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 So I was turning onto Post from 161 today when I heard what sounded like an airplane coming up behind me. I turn around and see a long, all black bike with about an 8inch(without exhagerating) diameter exhaust. "y2k" was written on the side and I was I've never seen one in person before. It must have been one of seven or something crazy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulo Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I read that they can't get over 170mph because they can't get traction. That article might have been a bit outdated, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ITR Guy Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 if im not mistaken they are powered by air not a drive train. (its a jet engine) am i mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTank Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 yes you are mistaken they are driven thought a jet prop drive system..kinda like a jet ski but instead of a prop they convert it thought a transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ITR Guy Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 i stand corrected then. but what about jet cars than are they throuh a drive system then or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark_Viper01 Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 If you are talking about the jet cars such as the Thrust SSC, which I belive still holds the world speed record and can esaly break the sound barrier, it is powered by 2 of the same Turbine engines the Harrier Jet uses. It is powered directly by the thrust of the engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
