Jay Leno has a turbine-powered motorcycle.  He said on camera that once while waiting at a red light,
the turbine exhaust from his bike melted the plastic front end of the car stopped behind him.
Also, it runs eight minutes on a gallon of fuel.
   :biggrin:   
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Red, I remember that Leno interview....he said that the plastic bumper "just kinda folded in on itself..."
Hilarious  :rofl2:

Kick the tyres and light the fire!

I love turbines  :crazy:

Economy would be crap, but you can run them on almost anything that is liquid and has a flash point. There was even an experiment to feed coal dust to a turbine. It worked, just not very 'clean' :sarcastic:.
