Ye of little faith and foresight of what can be achieved Pete - you just have to think outside of the box! And no it's not my radial at Tom's - it's been done already.

''How does one value the work she or he does? There are “industry” standards “rates of pay” but how does one value a “labor of love”? I have met many interesting artisans in my life, each and everyone has a unique gift. The commitment to sew a button hole a hundred times a day or to run a lathe and shape a table leg. A task which depends on concentration and repetition. How much would you offer the candle stick maker? There are those who walk among us who work for what they love, not love what they will get. Does a labour of love has something to do with perseverance?''

Jem. Build a jet bike !!!!!
I'll help you and be the pilot !!!!

A bit more info on the engine. Haven't got a clue what APU means though - anyone?

Rolls Royce manufactured Artouste APU Jet Turbine Engine.

This APU was originally fitted as an Air Starter in a Vulcan, hence the large bypass air duct on the bottom of the compressor housing.

Fitted with an AE-6301 2:1 reduction gearbox outputting 6000rpm at maximum RPM.

APU = Auxiliary Power Unit

yep auxiliary power Unit

my mate james' father worked for rolls royce

seemingly the earliest vulcans used 1 of its 4 jet engines to drive the power for all systems on the aircratft

if you lost that engine you were up the creek without both paddle and canoe

so you had this one

this was much easier to spin up whilst in the air
and it was used as a big generator to give you some time to try to sort out how you were going to crash.

later planes (that didn't use just 1 jet engine as a generator of power) fitted with bigger jet engines used these as extra ooomph for take off, air/exhaust from somewhere else was ducted in so they span up much faster and could get you down again without loss of craft and life if the 4 big ones died during that point of no return on take off

or as emergency power if all 4 main engines failed in flight.

he may be wrong but was realy quite animated by the conversration so am inclinded to belive he knows what he's on about.
my interpretaion of the glut of info. he supplied my well contain errors
