When Motorcycles Fly

· By Holly Beth Hatcher, Staff Writer · From pages 12 of the print edition

HE CALLS IT FLITE BIKE and it is the world's first flying motorcycle. Al Bragg created quite a stir driving through Middleburg. What in the world was that contraption? It is an aircraft engine and propeller and a parachute that can lift the motorcycle off the ground so it can fly. Mr. Bragg was on his way to Aldie but stopped in Middleburg to spread the word. He has his patent and wants to manufacture the flying part that can be installed on a Honda Reflex, purchased separately from a dealer. Looking for an investment with soaring returns? Give him a call at 540-347-9115 or email skytrek@earthlink.net.
