Flying Motorcycle for Real!
Check out Molnari's flying motorcycle. George Noory of Coasttocoast AM interviewed him the other night. Prototype is flying! It' a hybridization of a gyrocopter and a bike...the concept looks not only safe but really promising. I want one!

From what I can see, it is just an autogyro nothing special. They have been around longer than helicopters. Do a google image search and find more variations on this than hairs on your head.

Yes it's a roadable autogiro or gyrocopter with what looks like pitch control horizontal stabilizer so it should be stall proof and capable of maintaining safe attitude as well as land anywhere. Four to one glide ratio and lands power out at twelve miles per hour. Pretty handy if you need to get out of dodge quickly.

A bit far in (about 5 mins) but I think you'll remember this.

Auto Gyros range from really light, simple stuff that use 2-stroke Rotax motors to larger/heavier things with enclosed cockpits and bigger airplane engines. I've seen one with a Subaru engine conversion but the size of it didn't seem to warrant such a large powerplant.
