I think you'll discover only a handful have ever been flown, you aren't very likely to find many people with first-hand experience.

Looking at photos & drawings of the original is enough to convince me I'd never fly one - to be fair, I'd say the same thing about many other homebuilt helicopters. Spent too many years as an A&P mechanic, seeing what can go wrong on a carefully engineered & tested design makes me unlikely to try any helicopter "designed" by untrained & inexperienced people. It's not like a gyro which is pretty simple mechanically...

You are right Brett, a bike will never have a chance...futhermore a motorcycle or a car (too complex)...All you need is what you see beneath...And you would have even more pleasure if you get off the saddle and sit directly on the tubing!...Simple! isn't it?... :D
