The handyman who does oddjobs for our company is into motorcycles and he and a frined have dabble with jet engines, I think from helicopters.
They are surprisingly cheap and not as dangerous as the layman would think.
Personally, as one of the laymen, I am staying well clear of them.

r/c planes are a good way to get into turbines though they'll still set you back about 2k just to get a simple jet in the air. Quite a few now
up my club but I'm not quite sure yet if I really want one tbh

It was quite amazing that not once in that clip did it actually go round a corner 
Looks a pig to ride

That torque reaction would make it next to impossible to lean into a corner and ride out.....
