I don't think anyone on the creative team is a rider, but pretty cool nonetheless.

I'm thinking about converting the Uly to left had throttle so I can samurai the next Escalade that tries to run me off the road.

Some kind of a mouth/bite-actuated throttle control would make both hands available to operate a bullpup....

Those must be awesome tires. Last time I ran through a bunch of plants it was pretty greasy.
Commendable, inclucing the pulse-jet action of the little thingabmabobs. I thought about that today while out on the RD.

It's the future, I'm sure they figure out some sort of alternate throttle arrangement/cruise control. Of course, a tiny voice in my head was shouting "that is not what an MT01 sounds like!"
But, as Keiron Gillen said "The worst people in the entire world are pedents"

I think the rocket things were based off of a type of modern day warhead that has directional control on its way to the target. I think I saw a video that showed something very similar in operation, with 4 little rockets popping off in 4 different directions to keep it in control.
If that were a pulse-jet, it would be noisy as hell and not very controllable.

My voice shouted that, but outside of my head.
The thingamabob's flight pulses reminded me of the drones in
Battle: Los Angeles.

I enjoyed that, but also soon felt the familiar uncanny rails of a game.
Has anyone else here seen this:

Not a game, but running on game hardware, to show the work of a company with a particular interest in the conveyance of emotion in the gaming experience.

Oh yeah.. They're quite real.
And the sound: Triumph Street Triple.

The rider is displaying a severe lack of safety and a flagrant disregard for law enforcement by not wearing eye protection.
