Well it's a start I suppose but it looks like he may be a few parts short of a full bike (which isn't intended as a euphemism, honest )

And nice bike! Although I think I prefer the flying version:

The noise from that thing must be incredible!

Several years ago I helped a drag-racing guy I know, called Bill Sherratt, to help build a jet-powered bicycle (I really just designed the electronic control units and helped wire it up). The jet engine it used looked very similar to the ones used on that flying bike but it had just one of them. Even at idle, with just a single jet, it was stupidly loud. At full throttle the noise was beyond belief. I can only image how loud that flying bike must be with four of the things!
