It is the ultimate road rage revenge vehicle - a scooter that fires 12ft flames.
Colin Furze rigged his 60mph bike with a rear-facing flamethrower because he was fed up with drivers cutting him up.
It works by pressing a button on the handlebar.
'It's a lot of fun and firing the flames makes me feel like James Bond,' said the plumber, 30, from Stamford in Lincolnshire.

Hot wheels: Colin Furze has adapted his scooter so a gadget can fire out 15ft-long flames

'It's a lot of fun and when I fire the flames out the back it makes me feel just like James Bond,' said Colin

The device might deter drivers who attempt to overtake him

'The flames are pretty big and up to 15ft long so you could definitely set fire to someone's car if you wanted to.'
'The only problem is it can get rather hot if you are riding the moped and blast the flames when the wind is in the wrong direction.'

Colin initially tried fixing his road-rage weapon to a BMX bike and it worked so well he decided to try it on his moped.
Now he has even attached a lever to change the angle of the flames.
'It was quite tricky to make and the first version wouldn't fire the flames when the moped was moving,' he said.
'My second attempt kept setting fire to itself, but my third version works really well and I'm very pleased with it.'

But sadly Colin, who built the moped in his spare time in his back garden, will not legally be allowed to use it on the road.
'I've been told that if I fire the flames while riding on the road it's equivalent to using a firearm and I could be in a lot of trouble,' he said.
'Unfortunately I won't be able to ride it into the centre of town but it's a lot of fun and I'll use it off-road.'

This reminds me of an anecdote that Jay Leno was telling on some show or other about riding his Y2K (jet-powered motorbike).

Apparently he was stopped at the traffic lights and the guy in the car behind him kept edging closer to have a better look at the bike. He (Leno) was watching in his rear-view mirror as the front of this guys car basically started melting from the heat coming from the turbine / outlet on his bike.

that would a handy gimmick for Pattaya, till the monkeys got them too

Just make a few of those and toss 'm over your shoulder, when needed.

That is an excellent idea.

He didnt steal his name Furze means in German "to fart"

I expect Colin (with his 60 MPH Bike - that will not run out anything more than a moped, needs to be a bit careful) will annoy someone with his stupid idea where he ends up being scraped off the road...I certainly know what I would do if some arsehole started shooting flames at my car...Colin would be JAM!

Bloke should get a girlfriend.

Hmm, I thought the same, like he had something missing in his life, like a brain!

Can you imagine doing the maximum speed of 60 on that heap of shit, passing a 38 ton lorry and farting some flames out of the tail?

You are asking for a kicking at best, the bloke is a fucking retard!

It is not like he is going to be hard to catch....bike 60 MPH Truck=90MPH...probably an Oxfoed or Cambridge educated future PM for the UK!

My point but put alot better

SPLAT!

Are you sure?

Furzen is possibly more accurate.

I doubt he will worry too much with a 38 ton truck on his stupid arse farting head...fucking retard!

I Thibnk the fucking idiot , along with any relatives would be better off simply lying down on the M1

He really is going to cool some tempers...they would chase him for a 1000 miles for that little idea, fucking idiot!

I think if you used that in Thailand on a Thai you will get shot.

Actually more motorbikers shooting car drivers around here when they have the audacity to honk at a motorbike-rider for instance.

Or you could try this!
