Based on his work background in aerospace engineering, Tim Brummer
(Lightning Cycle Dynamics) could qualify as a "rocket scientist".
I have ridden the P-38 on several occasions and it always feels like my legs
are coming back into my gut (this was many years ago when I had no gut to
speak of). This may be just an adjustment problem but I think the very
upright seat combined with the relatively high BB contributes to this. The
main thing wrong with the P-38 has always been its exorbitant price. But
overall I have never been impressed with the P-38. The one thing I will say
for his company is that it has the social skills of rocket scientists - who
are known for being nerds and for being cantankerous.
