A pulse jet wouldn't be my first choice, all that vibration would make maintanence a nightmare :D

No what you need is to mount it on a recumbent >:D, now that would be FAST :o

If you can get the rocket... we can build you one :D

You'll just have to sign a form that says you can't sue me when it blows up... hehe

My only thought for an "improved" version would be to strap a second pulse jet on the opposite side of the bike....so as to equalize the thrust of course. Any additional top speed would be an added bonus. :)
