How did Harry Potter do it? :lol:

Guess the next million dollar idea-Cold Air Intake for your jet pack? Louder exhaust ? What kind of stickers can you put on it?

Will Harley make one that weighs 200 lbs more because of chrome?

The parachute is standard, not optional. :D

I think I'll wait till they come out in a more reasonable size tho., Strapping a miata on my back doesnt seem reasonable for the feeling of flight.

I agree, but I've been dreaming about jet packs being a reality for as long as I can remember. Time to start saving! I would actually consider selling the bike if I thought I could have a jet pack in 5 years.

HD is working on a prototype. It'll be triple the displacement, twice the weight, and make 1/4 the power. It will fly, but not far or fast, and won't turn for shit. It will also have factory accessory ape-hanger controls and leather tassles.

I wouldn't even get near the airport if I heard a rumor it was going to be up in the air. I mean't the Harley plane.


The jetpack would be badass.

It would be the perfect Halloween prop. I'd go as a pigeon this year.

Am I the only one who has no desire to try something like this?

I think my fear of heights would just mean I'd be freaking out the whole time. If I could get over that....maybe I'd try it. But just maybe. :shrug
