Motorcycle rocket launcher: definitely try at home
Step one: make extra powerful bottle rockets by mounting model rocket engines to skewers. Step two: make custom launch tubes, spray paint, mount to fairing. Step three: mount launch controller within easy reach. Step four: commence mayhem. Congratulations sir, you've just managed to make motorcycling even more dangerous.

You forgot the HE tip on the model-rocket engines... C4 would work nicely.

Funny thought, could you butch up a Prius by adding a rocket launcher or is a Prius destined to be eternally gay?

LOL wish I had one of these for my scooter. It would make the idiots that cut me off all the time think twice about doing it again.

Darwin would be proud...
For a second I thought this was going to be one of those urban myths with the guy putting the rocket motor on the back to give them a “little” boost...
You know there is a reason insurance for these rice rocket riders is so high...

Here's a quick question for model rocketeers. Most cities, and possibly even states, ban bottle rockets, but allow model/sport rockets. Why the difference? Compare a bottle rocket with a model rocket using a pre-packaged Estes-type motor. Both have a launch phase and both have a small explosive to pop the chute/recovery mechanism (not all model rocket engines have the recovery charge, but most do).
Does this fellow's re-do on the legal model rocket engine turn it into an illegal bottle rocket? I'm guessing the skewer is the launch rail, not attached to the rocket motor itself, but I'm not sure based on the original post.

The guy should maybe pre-record his own obituary, cuz if he shoots one of these at the wrong person, he’s gonna end up dead.

Whoops. This “both have a small explosive to pop the chute/recovery mechanism” should be “both have a small explosive - the bottle rocket for oohs and ahhs - and the model rocket to pop the recovery mechanism.”

Chuck Norris is way ahead of all of you:
You can't see it in the pic, but this puppy also had a mortar launcher on the back. Uber-awesome.
