AWESOME. That kid has a future in movie special effects. I'd love
to have rocket launchers on my bike, especially with a little better
aim control than his prototype had!

....and maybe just a hint of an explosion when the rocket hits
something? :)

A friend in our bike club had them mounted on a Honda CD175... oh,
must be 20 years ago, firing vertically up from the topbox. It got a
bit difficult when Plod saw the (luckily empty) launching tubes and
the labelled switches on the bars: "Rocket 1, Rocket 2, Rocket 3,
Rocket 4" etc.

Well that was STUPID...never label obviously. colour coded AND a
corresponding actual light that colour somewhere obvious. I don't do
these things, I just qc the important stuff like camo, aiming points
etc. I leave wiring to those who and read the etrails of a sacrificial
bull...because that's what it looks like to me.
