"   The Aquaman  Reader: James Garlitz Materials: $1000 Time: Two months Result: A downhome, motorcycle-driven, fishing-ready hydrofoil thrill ride. * See Waterbike Runners Up * Submit Your Own DIY Project   Loathe to choose between a day of cruising on a motorcycle and one spent cooling off on the lake, a Maryland pizza-shop owner opted for both. &amp;quot;The first time we took it out we felt like the Wright brothers,&amp;quot; says James Garlitz of the waterbike he built with his son, Jim. &amp;quot;We were actually flying above the surface of the water, what I call &amp;#039;foil-borne,&amp;#039; and it was a rush!&amp;quot; The heart of the machine is a 1985 Yamaha Virago touring bike with a 9.9hp Nissan outboard motor. Aluminum and urethane foam floats support the bike and -- here&amp;#039;s the ticket to its exhilarating ride -- front and rear hydrofoils lift the craft above the water&amp;#039;s surface once it hits 5 mph. Relatively quiet and splash-free, the thrill machine also makes a stealthy fly-fishing platform. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
