Wonder if he's related to the guy who got arrested for driving his motorized bar stool while drunk?

Just curious...

Not sure of the engineering of the bike, doesn't look to slick. Looked like scraps etc putting it together. I wouldn't pilot it.

Has he done anything since this video?

I'm thinkin he is a candidate for the Darwin Award

Well, he was at the salt flats yesterday waiting for his turn to run. Haven't heard how he did.

Jet bike started a run, just creeping down the course. After a coupla seconds mass quantities of smoke billowed from the bike.

Turns out that it was the first time they'd run it with the full bodywork and it caught fire. EVs were scrambled, got there quick. No real harm...or so they thought. They were gonna re-light the jet, but apparently something went wrong...."
