Saw this whilst looking at the moped jet link.

I could only think of where my hands would be and if my better half ever fancies a bike then I think I would be prefering to be the back seat driver.  ::)

I really do fancy trying the wood burning version. Would be a great replacement for the Chiminea when sitting out in the evenings.. with ear defenders on. ::)

I did find a video at one time of a chap who bought an ex tristar RB211.  stuck it on a frame in his garden, refurb it and got it running. 

he could only ever idle the thing else he could not hold it down and even then the noise was tremendous!

now that might give you an idea...
