Why do I laugh at this and think it would be fun to try? I'm old enough I should know better.
I'm pretty sure this is aviation related.......

My old bike could've smoked that thing hard.
My current bike could probably smoke that thing:

If you wear a tie you don’t need a helmet.

Those are like riding the bus in comparison to what this guy is doing.
Edit: but they are cool bikes.

Especially when the tires are rated for speeds up to 25MPH.!!

Baloney. The 954 was a fun bike. Fast as hell and highly maneuverable. You probably don’t understand because I’ll bet you’ve never ridden one.

I'm not the one who doesn't understand, but it doesn't matter.
Edit: I'm thinking you may not have watched the video....

I think you may have missed the point. You bought a couple carefully engineered very fast production bikes with proven designs and about as safe as something inherently dangerous can be... in other words, you rode the bus. This guy homebrewed an incredibly stupid dangerous steam-punk flaming contraption based on a bicyle meant to go no faster than maybe 25mph, and had the testicular fortitude/stupidity to actually ride it. Definitely not a bus-rider. Buying a proven design isn't what this is about.

Buzz Crotchyear. To stupidity and beyond!
It looks fun, but I'm not sure even Wile E Coyote would have climbed on that setup.
Steingar also hangs out at playgrounds and challenges 3 year olds on big wheels to races.

And I’ll bet he spent more kludging that thing together than I did on either bike. Maybe both. But yeah I’ll take engineering, design, and aesthetics over home-built ****ery every day. Took skill to keep the rubber down on the 954. That bike didn’t at all tolerate being mismanaged. If you’re interested, average life span of a liter sport bike is about 3 weeks. The guy with the jet-powered bike had luck, and nothing more.
