i'm sure they have to redefine the DB scale when they hear that thing, or actually its probably so loud you can't hear it anymore

Lol actually I was planning on doing something like that a few years ago (I was on a ffac kick and wanted cloud's bike but with a rotary) but gave up due to funding issues...I think I still have some plan drawings floating around somewhere....that thing must be ungodly loud...but I bet its pretty quick

Looks like it'd be loud and fast but can't imagine it would be safe at any speed trying to turn. Leaning onto 2 wheels and then back onto 4.

I'm betting it's yard art - - looks unstable as hell. & way too pointy to be riding around on. Not to mention it'd deafen anyone within 50 feet of it.

That thing looks unrideably dangerous. If you managed to get it up to speed without falling over, youd be deaf and then dead.
