    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

    Most all of the riders have that cool calm stoicism. And that inner need for an intense experience.

    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.

    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

  • @charlesbradshaw8673
    @charlesbradshaw8673 4 роки тому

    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

    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.
