Saw this motorcycle in person a few days ago at a Hot Rod show.

It's a turbine powered motorcyle built by the folks at Arlen Ness Motorcycles.

The representative said the motor was a auxillary power unit from a helicopter, single speed with clutch.

It's design is extremely pointy and smooth.

Really like the airbrushed panel look of aircraft aluminum. I'd like to paint my box truck like it. Use words like: Caution, Fuel Here, Flamable, No Step...like the words that are painted on military aircraft.

Here are a couple of pictures of it, if you find any more info on this bike, please post it.
