Hmmm... A twist on autogyros: Lock the rotor and call it a motorcycle?

Yeah, I don't know how this guy managed to "patent" this thing, other than maybe the folding rotor and turn-it-into-a-motorcycle bit. Autogyros have been around since 1923. My brother and I lusted after build-your-own-autogyro kids in Popular Science 40 years ago.
But man, that thing is butt-ugly! He couldn't make a better-looking motorcycle body than that!? Shoulda made it look more like this one:

Simple,
The CRT forum gets more traffic than the OT forum, and if you post in the CRT forum you get to type OT in the title. If you post in the OT forum you only get to use a basic title
