AUDIO: MAN INJURED IN HOMEMADE ROCKET BIKE ACCIDENT
In Wilmar, Minnesota, a 40-year-old man is recovering after he tried to jump off his roof riding a homemade rocket bike. (* Let that sink in. Homemade. Rocket. Bike.) Police say they found the man on his driveway last Friday afternoon. The homemade “rocket bike” consisted of a bicycle frame mounted on two skis. It also had a motorcycle exhaust pipe. For rocket fuel, the man used HEET, which people add to their gasoline so it won’t freeze. At last report, there was no word on his condition. The homemade rocket bike did not survive intact.
* What happened to the beer he must have been drinking?
* “Hold on, Starman! I’ll (hic!) save you!!!”
* He’s probably got a good lawsuit against the Acme company.
* Said one eyewitness to the event, “Beep beep”. (See clip below.)
* Some people hit 40 harder than others.
* There are easier ways to get out of Wilmar, Minnesota.
* The corpse of Evel Knieval got a good laugh out of it.
CLIP: The Roadrunner says “Beep beep.”
