Dang, the way Tim was talking, if you didn't know the context, you'd think he was talking about a woman!! "I let her relax...I don't push hard at that stage... " God bless you son.
The way he described how to ride a Top Fuel Nitro Harley to someone that has never done it, is like a helicopter pilot telling someone who has never flown a helicopter the way you fly a helicopter, is to put one foot on the left tail rotor pedal and the right foot on the right tail rotor pedal, hold the cyclic gently in the right hand while pulling the collective up with the left hand while twisting the throttle to apply power... I'd like to say try that and then get back to me, but if you did there's a 99% chance you wouldn't be able to get back to me or at least have the helicopter in one piece. LMAOoooooo you make some great videos thanks for posting
I think it would be a great ride. I would love to do it. I have had a ride in a jet fighter. So I have a good idea what it would be like. We about 200 feet off the deck and doing a least 500 knots. What a rush. These guys have big onions. Can't wait to see in person. Thanks for the good job.
Could you ask him if he'd take on an apprentice? I would put my house up for sale tomorrow. I would pilot one, but don't have the knowledge or the money to put something like this together. Wouldn't know where to begin.
I am the perfect candidate to try to make a run. I have huge brass balls along with a less than stellar IQ. It is a recipe for disaster most of the time but I do have fun and would give it a try
Lets see here, it's a fairly simple process. Build bike, go to dragstrip, pay fee, setup pit and motorcycle, get in line when called, start top fuel Harley, throw leg over frame, burnout then stage, don't watch lights look for yellow flicker, twist right hand to WFO, HOLD THE F@#K ON, stop before going into sandpit. Simplified version

Motorcycles are like women.....you get tuned in, the ride is wonderful. Get it wrong, ya get thrown off!
And just like a woman...hell hath no fury like a top fuel harley scorn. Both will make life miserable.
That was SUCH a great description, LOVE IT!

Perfect video from start to finish. Great shots of the bikes and the runs. Thank you CycleDrag!
It's got to be one of my favorite videos thanks . Educational
Most all of the riders have that cool calm stoicism. And that inner need for an intense experience.
Cool deal Steve. Please share with some friends!
@@cycledrag I do my friend.
We race with Tim back in 2001-2002 always a nice guy.
Very nice guy. Please share with some friends!
Hey Jack, can you please have one of the top fuel riders explain the controls on the bike (ie, how the brakes & clutch system works).
I think it would be a great ride. I would love to do it. I have had a ride in a jet fighter. So I have a good idea what it would be like. We about 200 feet off the deck and doing a least 500 knots. What a rush. These guys have big onions. Can't wait to see in person. Thanks for the good job.
Good luck to you Tim👍 Good to see what go’s on in prep for the ride.👌👍🍺 Also Tim’s bike sounds tops.
Jack, Are you going to ride nitro harley in the future?
I would really like to. It's just so dang expensive. I need a great sponsor or 500K subs, lol. Please share with some friends!

Why is it called a Harley? Are there any parts on it that are actually made by Harley Davidson?
traditional Harley architecture - 45 degrees and pushrods.
No different than Larry McBride's so called Kawasaki. If it's Top Fuel, its billet or 4340.

Lawn, how is it any different than Larry McBride's bike ? NOTHING on there Kawasaki.
@@t.s.racing True. Larry and Steve told me it's actually a Suzuki based off teh head, but very similar to a KZ
There are no Antifa or Protesters as Drivers in this sport.
My Harley sportster is fast as hell but you would not see me riding that.
Close your eyes open the gas and pray
Lol true. Larry says close your eyes and count to five. Please share with some friends!
The one good thing about racing a Harley; there's never any chance of a high-speed crash ...
