Jet's used parts from it to modify a motorcycle to be rideable.... mostly to work the gearshift, kickstand, centrestand and clutch, and modify the throttle to be thumb-operated, and the rear brake for the left hand. The remains will be half-functional.... and was near functional without waving. Jet might be encouraged to build (or instruct) a third using the same techniques and equipment for analysis. But it might be difficult to actually build with Jet's metal fingers.Knowing the techniques would be useful in writing a manual for Jet. Bea is certainly interested enough to learn. She does say she wont be building any exact copies without your permission, because, after all, it is your design.
It is pretty clear that Bea has been studying the BGC manga and anime. She asks if Jet had considered a range of control modules to drive people's normal cars for them, based on the limited AI in the Motorslaves? Given waved battery technology electric cars look quite practical, and they arguably get a lot more useful if they can be robot driven. No, Bea thinks it would be a bad idea to 'Gibson' any cars, or make them transform.

the adrenaline rush of the G-forces and the rush of tearing through a
tunnel full of traffic at full speed.... (among other things.) Jet's not
a robot, and can open the visor, or remove the helmet quite happily. It
might be more fun for the ordinary mundanes. Capturing the excitement
of high-speed flight pays some money.... thought not a lot. Especially
since Jet has to be careful about the soundtracks used because then the
soundtrack owners gets all the advertising revenue from google.
Matilda would appear to have some skill at original music composition, and would be pleased to help out with the sound-track side of things. If Jet is surprised at a composer doll, Bea's comment is "Thank the wave".
