Honda Goldwing Jet Mod Can Fly, Maybe...

Don't let this slow-speaking man confuse you. He did the impossible and turned a Honda Goldwing, which was previously only a good towing machine, into a freaking fighter jet. The video may be a little long and drawn out, but near the end the inventor lets us into a little secret: he thinks it can fly. He says if you take it up to 80 or 85 on the highway and get in a sticky situation steering, it can get airborne.

The purpose of the patriotic Honda Goldwing jet fighter is to supposedly inspire community service. Sorry, but after seeing this I want to go buy a Goldwing, not volunteer at the animal shelter. [GeekAlerts]

What if he were to meet that guy that turned the jet into the houseboat, that'd be weird.

Funny, my old KZ1000 LTD didn't get significant lift until about 95 mph. Guess I should have glued on some wings.

Oh wait, now I remember, keeping both wheels on the ground is a good thing on a street bike.

After years of disappointment, we've finally found a Gold Wing kitted out to over two thousand pounds.

So he's saying it can do some interesting things at 88mph... and that it's heavy. Great Scott!
