the amazing Opel Neander rocket motorcycle. Fritz Opel an early rocket pioneer created this bike. the internal combustion engine powered the motorcycle up to 75mph at which time the solid fuel rockets were cut in and the bike then accelerated to 125mph. designed to set a world speed record the bike only ran in tests as the German authorities forbade more runs for safety reasons.
