We thought that twin Rolls Royce powered Star Raider was nuts (and a bit on the geeky side), but take one of those engines, put it on two wheels, add a freakin' afterburner and you get this jet powered drag bike. Yet again we are in awe of the Aussie ability to assuage common sense in favor of unadulterated holy-shit-awesome. Mad Ron Laycock is the father of this beast, a contraption still in the works but able to toss some serious flames, we cannot fathom the idea of running this at a strip. 3,800 HP jet bike — you see how easily that rolls off the tongue? You may now quip about Mr. Laycock's name.
