Patrick Walsh — November 15, 2011 — Autos
No your eyes do not deceive you: this is a retro 1929 jet engine Harley-Davidson motorbike. It is powered by not only one but two jet engines, that are mounted either side of the body. Motorcycles are often the subject of extreme modifications but this claims to be the only jet engine custom motorbike in the world. It is based on a 1929 ‘Harley-Davidson Harley Board Track Racer’.
The item is currently for sale on eBay for $25,000 and the people who made it guarantee it will “rattle your windows for at least a five block radius.” It has also recently been the subject of a photoshoot for V-Twin Magazine which is due to be released soon.
