    In 2016 I saw Guy running the Triumph Stream limer out at Bonneville. The salt was pretty bad that year. I'd run 196 mph a week before at the Speed Trials but Guy still managed about 277 mph in 2016.
    I use to think how hard could it be to run three or four miles wide open probably like most riders who have never tried it. After eight trips I found out it is very hard especially on the slippery salt.
    Running on pavement while having more grip he has only one mile which basically a one mile drag race. He and the bike have to be perfect. When gets the bike right i know he is right rider to do it. Pulling for you Guy.👍👍

      Truly, professional racing drivers and riders are a special kind of breed. You look at the top gear lap times and you see 1:47.3, 1:47.1, 1:46.9, 1:46.7 and think to yourself, the fastest of the normal people are like within _roughly half a second_ of each other, the car can't possibly go any faster... and then, the stig (who was a racing driver) 1:44.4 ( _two_ seconds faster), hamilton 1:42.9 and ricciardo, 1:42.2 , **four and a half** seconds faster.

    I dabbled years ago drag racing my 1200 bandit, it is addictive, started out just standard bike thinking it can't be that hard, give it 4/5 k revs and launch it, well that didn't work front wheel came straight up and I hate it when the front of the bike gets over a foot off the ground, I'm no good at even thinking of using the rear brake at that moment just dropped the throttle a bit and off I went, I was totally unprepared for what it takes to put a decent 1/4 mile time down, I was hooked, me and my Dad carried on going to the run what you brung events and I started to modify the bike on some advice of people we met there! It had well still has an extended swing arm about a foot longer which really helped still wheelies but so much easier to control, softened up the rear suspension and dropped forks through the yokes about inch and half! I did ok never racing the guy next to me just myself just trying to beat my old time! There were some guys there that where so clever with what they did and how they did it and sometimes really simple things work! 300mph in a standing mile is unbelievable thayt is gonna take some real effort and a bit of luck hope he achieves it would be fantastic to see!

    I wonder what the thermal dispersion and the co-efficient of friction is between a standard (center) mounted disc and a Buell ZTL.
    I'm assuming the disc cannot tolerate the immediate thermal increase and fractures it?

    • @wizrom3046
      @wizrom3046 Місяць тому

      I'm thinking it's more likely the massive forces.
      He needs the rear brake at the start of the dragrace where speeds are low, to stop the bike flipping over.
      So the disc needs to counter a lot of that 900 hp, at low gearing, so the torque forces are just mental.
      Sportbike rear brake discs are normally very small and thin, especially where they bolt onto the hub. I think he needs a custom made disc of a larger diameter, with a larger diameter stronger hub carrier.

    Does Morris Lubricants take oil samples and analyse them like in F1, to help guy see how different mapping is detremental to the engine, it would also be useful for the company to understand their lubricants if Guy has so much data for them.

    Can i just go hang out with Guy for few days? Love just to tinker and help him fix stuff. Just talk engines bikes trucks etc. As a midwestern American sucks i cant share my love of Guy with others. Most ppl i know cant understand him. Easy for me years of listening to our u.k. brothers speak

    Probably a stupid question but when you were talking about adding weight to the rear end and the tyre slipping on the rim . Is there anything like a drag car/atv bead lock for bikes that would be two birds with one stone due to centrifugal force? Or a Buel style front disk set up on the rear? Probably talking out my arse.

    The boost would open a valve before the cam would open a valve... Please elaborate on that

    Wow 300 is very difficult, tons of hp and good strong aero dynamic body work..

    it would be interesting to watch a record attempt. Morris could still co-host the event perhaps.

    Have you considered twincharging?
