Bikesters RocketBike.

Via: bikesters

"The sun is just beginning to set as they prepare to fire the rocket. The stand is securely chained down. "This should be interesting," thinks Nitro. He has put long wires on the controls so they can be behind the pickup truck, 100 feet away from the rocket engine when he hits the ignition button. TK does the count down to zero, and Nitro pushes the button. There is a huge roar and flame shoots 25 feet. The rocket on its stand is straining aginst its chains. "What a beast!" thinks Nitro. Terry's eyes are big. He can't wait to ride this baby! Watching the rocket shooting flame with the sunset in the background, Celeste (always the promoter) thinks: "What a show this thing is going to put on!" TK, off to the side, is watching the computer screen, monitoring the H2O-S system and the heat of the tail pipe: "Super interesting stuff." (The other kids always did call TK "Some kind of a rocket scientist", and now it looks like maybe they were right.) By the time Nitro gets it shut off, it's already broken two chains. "This dude's got some power," he says, "Scary!"
