[#1892200]

Heard this high revving screaming sound, and a guy flew past at about 40mph on a big bike with a stream of smoke coming out the back. Not on a trail I should add 8)

from what i saw of it it looked like a regular bike. my guess is it had some kind of small petrol engine strapped on. Maybe some kind of kit.

I saw kinda the opposite yesterday - an alleged motorbike with an engine which resembled a petrol powered noise making elastic band rattling between it flimsy frame tubes 🙂

If it wasn't for the high revving engine and triple clamps i would have passed it off as me not being very observant and it being some kind of motorbike.Unless it was a petrol type version of that electric motorbike that used mtb components ie zocchi forks iirc and hydro brakes etc.

They have some fairly nutter-level engines on there.
