Pulse-jet bike is far from safe
Looking to off yourself in the most spectacular and ridiculous way possible? You can't go wrong with a bike powered by a pulse jet! This enterprising Oregonian built just that for himself, and it took him on a wild 70MPH ride down the highway. He survived, sure, but that's just the first ride. You can't always win when you play Russian Roulette.

That's is both cool and retarded at the exact same time...
He didn't say what kind of miliage he could get out of that thing.
it would be cool to mount that to a smart car and use it for when you're crusing down the freeway.

laaaaame.
the fuel is half gasoline and half kerosine...?
talk to me when the fuel is made out of dark matter.

Bob said close to the beginning of the video that the bike is sold and it's going to the Netherlands. I guess it's the new owner's problem to find a long, smooth road in a country the size of a postage stamp.

Cool. I love it and guys like him who build stuff like this. Craftsman, genius, nutcase all in one. It creates a sound I never heard before. I hope he sells a million of them. Maybe they could set up a new class for these things at Bonneville.

Buzzbomb! Oregon's own vergeltungswaffe to use on those pesky californians!

retaliation weapon hahaha...i always wanted to build one of these when I was a kid. This guy probably had a early-life crisis and decided to finally accomplish his childhood dreams...still not as dangerous as the Dodge Tomahawk.

Also, I couldn't quite figure out where your left leg is supposed to go on something like this...
other than that the craftsmanship on this thing is something else. Very steampunky
