Re: THE ROCKETEER
If you were leaned over in a left-hander , hit the apex, then accelerated hard , wouldn't the exhaust exits try and knock you flat with a huge boost of exhaust gas heading skyward ....
I imagine nobody had ridden it for more than 50 metres

Re: THE ROCKETEER
Not very cohesive.
I sort of like the stripped-down look, and this has a whole lot of that - but then: the exhaust is stupid; that carbuncle on the left is just too much; the seat is non-existant; the lights are crap, why even bother?

Re: THE ROCKETEER
Well done skubbles, one of the worst ones in ages. Maybe it'll look better when its finished. Obviously the builder thinks its ace but i dont get anything about it

Going by the size of the tank, that's probably generous.
