Quote:Are you sure? What with the differences we've already seen between that world and our own, bearing the Gratan's advanced-for-the-time design in mind, and considering Jean is an inventor in his own right, it seems to me he'd be able to put the concept together just as quickly as your original version depicted.
...there's no way that Jean would recognize that as a motorcycle right off.
After all, it's still obviously a two-wheeled vehicle, so all he needs is to guess/deduce that some part of that flowing structure covers an engine, and there you are. Also, wasn't there something about him building a jet aircraft of sorts at one point? So, if he's already got that design in mind, and notices the turbine, that'll help him realize: bicycle + powerful motor + ultra-streamlining = WOW.DHBirr
