I was referring to the original jet thet went for a swim, it was a three
wheeler. Not being fussy, but it went down in the book as a bike. I have
known Breedlove since the fifties and give him credit for all he has
done.Still I don't think it's anything but a thrust powered something, as is
fueling's front wheel drive (two wheels) with a tail dragger along for the
ride. Never heard of a two wheel drive bike. Maybe Teauge should pull off one
front wheel assy and give them all something to run for. What the heck, land
speed hot rod racing as we know it is still the best.
