Anyone do a turbine yet?
Youtube is full of backyard jet bikes, and the now defunct Y2K turbine bike..... Has anyone thought of doing this with a Ninjette?

Grasshoppa did. Wasn't much of a ninja, and it was extremely short-lived.

I wasn't meaning turbo. I was taking about turbine powered, as in jet engine.

I'm guessing the frame would be a bit of a limitation....

I've seen it done on a bicycle....
It most likely wouldn't drive a transmittion , but be powered directly from the thrust of the jet's exhaust..... that is how the bicycle was done.
