Got $150,000 You Don't Know What To Do With?

Here's one idea, a firm in Franklin LA called MTT will be all too happy to build you a Y2K Gas Turbine Motorcycle. This 2-wheeled beauty is powered by a 320HP gas turbine engine normally used on helicopters, the Y2K has been known to achieve speeds of up to 227 mph for some brave soul. Besides having a sufficiently high temperature exhaust blast that will literally melt bumpers on cars, it also features a rear mounted camera (in lieu of mirrors) and display on the control panel. It'll run great on either kerosene (jet fuel) or #2 diesel and makes quite an impressive racket when firing up (very much like a jet plane). See the webpage HERE

Who rides these things? Well, there's one Jay Leno who takes his out for a spin every so often, here's some video footage
