42 mph? Didn’t look that fast, but whatta sound! Great engineering!

Thanks for your comment Mark and appreciation of the engineering involved!! Top speed test coming soon I hope 😁

Instead of being propelled directly from thrust alone, it would be interesting to use a power take-off turbine wheel and with proper gear reduction, have *that* propel the bike. Maybe could use parts of the original chain drive and clutch, similar to a helicopter turboshaft engine arrangement...would be FAR more fuel efficient and _much_ faster! ;)

Thanks for your comment Mario! You are absolutely correct it would be way more efficient... I hope to incorporate a power take off in a “future project” (news to follow at some point soon), I fee that the small 125cc bike chassis is already way too busy to incorporate a free power turbine unfortunately. So this one will have to stay as a noise generator for now 😂
