8. Actually, no, I'm responding to your thread. You're the one going off topic.

Responding to threads is within the rules.

It's rather the point of having a discussion board.

It's not like that other thread, where we were having a talk about ocean waves, and you popped up to attack me and that other guy for believing in modern physics.

Hell, Ford Motor Company built a turbine powered tractor, possibly using knowledge they picked up building turbine engines for the V2 rocket in Nazi Germany.

Still, cool bike.
