Rider in the sky. Is it a bike, is it a plane? No, it
Rider in the sky. Is it a bike, is it a plane? No, its a unique compromise - a motorskycycle. It can fly at 80 miles an hour 10, 000 feet up or roar along at 60 mph on the ground. Test pilot Geoff Ball took the skybike on its maiden spin over Morecambe Bay and was impressed. Its handy for farmers, enthusiasts or even the military. It costs a tidy sum though - £ 8000. Skybike...Geoff Ball high in the sky. 2nd July 1985

Rider in the Sky - A Unique Compromise of Bike and Plane
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a groundbreaking invention that blurs the lines between two modes of transportation. Is it a bike? Is it a plane? No, it's an extraordinary compromise known as the motorskycycle. With its ability to soar through the sky at an impressive speed of 80 miles per hour, reaching heights of up to 10,000 feet, this innovative creation is truly one-of-a-kind. Yet, it also possesses the capability to roar along on solid ground at a remarkable 60 mph. Test pilot Geoff Ball fearlessly took this marvel for its maiden spin over Morecambe Bay and was left astounded by its performance. The applications for such a versatile vehicle are endless - from aiding farmers with their daily tasks to thrilling enthusiasts seeking new adventures or even serving military purposes. However, this cutting-edge technology comes at a price - £8000 may seem like quite a tidy sum for those eager to experience the freedom offered by the skybike. Captured in July 1985 during an era marked by aviation advancements and inventive breakthroughs, this image represents both ingenuity and curiosity about what lies beyond traditional means of transportation. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries.
