Jay Leno's Jet Bike

Here's a cool video that some of you may have seen.

Kind of sounds like the old Batmobile once it gets going.

Heheheh, that thing is cool. One of the turbines from a Jet Ranger helicopter...

I heard an interview with him. Apparently, right after he got it he was sitting at a red light, and he looked in his rearview to see the front bumper of the Lexus behind him curling up and blistering from the heat of the exhaust. The light turned green, and he just drove away...

Does anyone know where any videos of this thing ,cruising down the highway or something, can be found?

That's hilarious, as soon as I read that, I told the person who showed me the video in the first place (who is fanatical about motorcycles, unlike myself who knows that as soon I touch one, I'd die.)
And to answer you question Josh, I don't think so unless it's been featured on television at some point. This video was shot by a guy that just happened to have a camera handy at the right place at the right time.

Oh, alright Tom. Thanks man.
