Wow! What a brave fellow that pilot is.

Note the turkey basting pan full-o-drippin's

Thats badass...and nearly more of what the motors were originally intended for as opposed to motorcycles.

Someone once told me that the job of the helicopter is to kill the foolish pilot.

There's a bunch of grateful vets that might dispute that....

A pilot once told me that a helicopter was " three thousand pieces of metal fatigue surrounding an oil leak"

Sweet ride...I wonder if it has Lucas electronics?

 

[keef]

That is just barking - I love it!

A BMW dealer in Tenn. built an airplane with an old oilhead Beemer engine. I might get in that one but a Triumph Chopper is certain stupidity!! No way =regular choppers are bad enough. Very creative. I did spend a bit of time flying in the old Sikorsky helios in the Army as a medic. This one does not look like it even flys. Does it?

I got a ride in a UH-1 in while I was stationed in Hawaii. I was blissful in my ignorance until I asked the pilot what a certain indicator light on the panel was for. He informed me it was the "chip" light. When I asked what the chip light indicated he said it indicated an unacceptale amount of metal shavings in the transmission. I swore off helicopters after that. I now think of them rather like bumblebees. They are not really supposed to be able to fly.

"There's a bunch of grateful vets that might dispute that...."

If they had flown in pre-unit twin Triumph helicopters the bunch would have been much smaller and they would have been far less grateful....

Being a Triumph owner and helicopter mechanic, I can appreciate the dangers that this helicopter provides for the pilot. Cool thing but I wouldnt fly in it
