"let's talk about oil" "yeah sure we need a bit of oil but I did 282MPH at 4am!!" this Guy guy is a madman and I hope he will keep entertaining us for many decades more!
What i love about guy martin is that hes just spoke 45 minutes worth of stuff about the bike in the matter of 12 minutes 😂 fair play he is a true engineer and top man 🤙🏴
Quite sobering when he says "anyone trying to do this is dead". Before anyone starts ranting, it's his life, if that's how he wants to live it then good on him. Just please don't die Guy, we need mad nutters like you 😂
This could have been an hour long of just listening to guy . Absolutely love him. Hes so happy to just talk and talk and go off on a tangent with this thing and then another thing. It just makes me so happy listening to him be like that because its exactly how my brain works
Guy needs a podcast, or more specifically as he would never bother to set one up or continue with it unless it's a special interest, someone that can record Guy just unloading his mind every week. I could listen to him natter on very happily every week. You never know what gems are gonna come out.
@nickrider5220 like the corny saying goes power is nothing without control, that's what he's struggling with at the moment getting the power down properly..but he will do it.
Guy could save himself some time by borrowing Allen's V 10 viper motor bike Think that thing could get close to 300 For Guy I think building a machine to meet that expectation 90 percent of the fun
Guy, you're a mad man, 282 on two wheels....I'm surprised you can get your bolloc£s to fit on rhe seat they must be that big.. massive respect and i can't wait to see you hit 300!..😱
Thanks for this update. I've followed Guy's project in the motorcycle press since the beginning but hadn't seen anything new recently, so this is most welcome. While I'm commenting, thanks also for your oil analysis service. I used this for my Ducati a couple of years ago, and the results were really useful. I'd recommend that service to anyone with an older bike or buying secondhand something with unknown history. The analysis can flag up potential problems in time for them to be dealt with before they become catastrophic! So thanks again.
Guy is a legend he loves a good chat, but also he takes a lot in as well when he’s listening I really do hope he achieves the 300mph he’s aiming for but most of all I really do hope he survives it as well.
I feel like this video was made for me. Guy Martin the is the guy I look up to, been to see Dave race this year at thruxton with digraph. Top bloke! I own a commercial garage in Bristol We buy all our parts from digraph and only use morris lubricants. And I’m building my own supercharged triumph bobber double the standard power which will be running the morris good juice. Well done excellent video morris lubricants ftw!
Tyres, as Guy says, thats the limiting factor, and thats probably the cause of the crashes. At those speeds everything is prototype and seat of the pants. Bit like early aviation.
Hi Guy. Just a few thoughts. Running the bike naked means the cold air is hitting the front of the engine and then wafting down the sides of it picking up heat as it travels past the bike. If you began with the fairing and had cone shaped air intakes with plastic tubes attached you could direct cold air from in front of the engine to specific areas on the engine or brakes etc. Also a huge splitter on the front and a spoiler on the rear would help with control and keeping the rear tyre on the ground, talking of tyres why not glue the tyre to the rim to stop it slipping. Jon p.s. I'm not an engineer and I'm rebuilding a Honda C90... Good luck.x
It's doesn't matter that the oil is so good it's not put under any stress, it's the fact Morris support British endeavours like this that counts. People remember the brand name, I know I will.
Cars aiming for record lap times at the Nurburgring also top out around 280mph, when there’s room on the longest straight to go faster. This seems to be the practical limit, taking into account aerodynamics/rolling resistance, etc.
I used to have a sponsorship from Motul, all oils, fluids, cleaners etc. No money on top, only product. When we lost it we suddenly realised just how valuable that sponsorship was. That stuff is EXPENSIVE!!😮
What a man !! Guy Martin's brain must have massively more capacity, to store and deliver on-tap, incredible ammounts of technical data than us mere mortals . Unbelievable .
Morris, I’m sorry they’re not directly sales-pitching your product for you 😂 But if you can keep getting Guy Martin to talk about his projects, I promise I’ll keep buying your oil 👍👍
Air resistance and drag must be huge after 200mph, hence the extra HP to get to 300mph, i remember engineers telling James May when he first drove the veyron that it only needs about 250HP to hit 150mph but another 750HP to hit 255mph.
It's an amazing bit of kit and look forward to where it gets to speed wise. For a wheel driven record it's going to be amazing. Eric Teboul managed 290mph in a 1/4 mile on two wheels but was Hydrogen Peroxide powered rocket bike...
Guy mistakenly stated that Bill Warner's >300 mph run was unofficial. This is untrue: Bill ran 311.945 mph in 2011 in Loring Maine at a former SAC base. The Loring Timing Association oversaw the sanctioned event (and continues to run events today) and it is indeed an official record.
Hi its great to hear of the progress on the bike, if you can't hold the engine bak on the dyno you are using the wrong kind of dyno you need to drive the dyno directly so you have your rear wheel sprocket on the dyno flange rather than a rolling road type of dyno, its a lot of messing about but worth it in the long run. I'm sure you will achieve your goal Good luck
@paul8161 with respect Having been in the engine test business for nearly 40 years I can be sure that I know what I am talking about and so would Guy Martin, his problem is the crank cases are to weak for the power generated, putting a vehicle of any description up the track is a lot more forgiving than a dyno that can hold an engine at full power for any length of time. Most rolling road dynos can only cope with acceleration runs and not hold an engine at full power for periods of minutes or hours. So if your goal is to find out why and when components fail a rolling road dyno is pretty useless
Take it to Bonneville. Concider casting the enging block and head as one piece like the Offenhouser. Then it will hold the pressure and you can strengthen the main bearing areas.
The goal is 300mph in a standing mile. Going 300 at bonneville isn’t an easy task either, but doing it in a mile from a stop on an un-prepped surface is a difficult task.
Think the guy wanted to promote the lubricants abit more , poor chap! Could have said this wouldn’t be possible without the help from morris Lubricants, so go out and buy!! haha.
Hi @ykdickybill thanks for getting in touch, the next episode comes out tomorrow where Guy gives a technical review of the bike and discusses what oil he uses amongst many other interesting things.
We need to hear about that bike until the cows come home and then some. He needs to just let rip on a podcast for however long it takes. His experience and knowledge, mixed with passion and excitement to learn just pulls you in.
Think guy needs to put his money where his mouth is , carwow drag race against Pedrosa on the MotoGP ktm. It would be interesting at the very least but that thing is just ballistic
For my understanding can somebody please explain for me how an increased trail figure of 212mm as quoted is achieved by apparently moving the wheel axle forward’s of the fork? My logic is telling me it needs to be behind the fork to provide trail. Any explanations?
that genius fella who as built amazing bikes in his shed and built a viper was talking bout that prob 215 and it was near death to roll of gas guy must no him well i rekon so wased com good luck lovely bike guy
Did I hear it right? 750hp going to the rear wheel? MAD! Think of the air friction- standard road bikes are pushing just over 200bhp these days and are capable of reaching close to 200mph. So in order to reach another 100 you need way over triple the power. One thing I couldn't bear in this video- subtitle guy, please learn the difference between brake and break. These are two completely different words.
"let's talk about oil"
"yeah sure we need a bit of oil but I did 282MPH at 4am!!"
this Guy guy is a madman and I hope he will keep entertaining us for many decades more!
“It’s basically a standard engine but everything is modified “ 😂 legend.
What i love about guy martin is that hes just spoke 45 minutes worth of stuff about the bike in the matter of 12 minutes 😂 fair play he is a true engineer and top man 🤙🏴
Guy has no idea how bloody interesting all that is, Fantastic stuff, could listen to him for hours
Quite sobering when he says "anyone trying to do this is dead". Before anyone starts ranting, it's his life, if that's how he wants to live it then good on him. Just please don't die Guy, we need mad nutters like you 😂
Anything with Guy gets a like, living legend
Great job Morris Lubricants supporting Guy. I try and buy your oil where possible
This could have been an hour long of just listening to guy . Absolutely love him. Hes so happy to just talk and talk and go off on a tangent with this thing and then another thing. It just makes me so happy listening to him be like that because its exactly how my brain works
How can u not love Guy Martin ❤

Great to see Guy still working on that 300 mph project, I'm sure he'll get there, the bike has more than enough power !
@nickrider5220 like the corny saying goes power is nothing without control, that's what he's struggling with at the moment getting the power down properly..but he will do it.
Please do a 2 hour chat with Guy .
He is a pure genius
"That's not me being naked, it's the bike being naked" what a lad 😂
I'd like to see Alan Milyard involved with Guy's project.
Only trouble woukd be guy wuold be retired b4 it was completed 🎉😂
Me too, who is he?
@@keithleivers4061 It took Alan 6 months to build the viper engined bike.
@@Ivan_1919 Faints.
Guy could save himself some time by borrowing Allen's V 10 viper motor bike Think that thing could get close to 300
For Guy I think building a machine to meet that expectation 90 percent of the fun
Can't get enough his knowledge it's astounding love it
It's people like Guy with his innovative mentality that made this country great.
Love listening to Guy's enthusiasm. Enjoyed your video
Guy, you're a mad man, 282 on two wheels....I'm surprised you can get your bolloc£s to fit on rhe seat they must be that big.. massive respect and i can't wait to see you hit 300!..😱
It's not the speed that's the issue, it's doing it in a short distance.
@PLAYINGAROUND you're half correct it's both..speed and distance =300!!
It's them massive nuts that's slowing him down! 3-4 ham shanks before a run might be the key! 😉😆👍🏻
@@paul8161 He's definitely a tile short of a full roof 🤪🤪
@kevinharker1840 definitely is but blooming clever and funny with it.🤣

I get the feeling Guy could talk till the cows come home about his bike
@svracing3 humm, if only he had said something like that in the video several times to give you that impression, eh?🤣
I wish they'd give Guy a chance to talk 😂
I feel like this video was made for me. Guy Martin the is the guy I look up to, been to see Dave race this year at thruxton with digraph. Top bloke!

I haven't used the oils but the Morris Chain Lube are brilliant
Tyres, as Guy says, thats the limiting factor, and thats probably the cause of the crashes. At those speeds everything is prototype and seat of the pants. Bit like early aviation.

" i can talk till the cows come home" 1000% said and said by Guy Martin.... the man is a legend
"Oil, Guy, we're here to talk about Oil" haha. Great Stuff. I love Guy..
It's doesn't matter that the oil is so good it's not put under any stress, it's the fact Morris support British endeavours like this that counts. People remember the brand name, I know I will.
If he survives 300 mph he will be immortalised as the coolest human being on the planet, if he isn't already.
Let's be honest he already is
I didn’t understand a word he talked about, but i didn’t need too the tone of his voice is enough 😂 what a bloke, i really hopes he gets there 🙏
Love the leyland t45 in the background ! Brings back memories
His such a humble intelligent passionate guy, his a true legend
For those who didn't know . But guy does a tv program. He never works to a script . And the fact he is a living legend 😅
Cars aiming for record lap times at the Nurburgring also top out around 280mph, when there’s room on the longest straight to go faster. This seems to be the practical limit, taking into account aerodynamics/rolling resistance, etc.
`hi guys', so, why do you use Morris Lubricants? Well, because you sponsor us and give them to us for Free 🤩
I used to have a sponsorship from Motul, all oils, fluids, cleaners etc. No money on top, only product. When we lost it we suddenly realised just how valuable that sponsorship was. That stuff is EXPENSIVE!!😮
I have a feeling that Guy would drop the lube in a heartbeat if he felt it compromised even the minutest level of performance
Brilliant to hear about the projects…… learned faff all about the oils though 😂
What a man !!
Guy Martin's brain must have massively more capacity, to store and deliver on-tap, incredible ammounts of technical data than us mere mortals .
Unbelievable .
Morris, I’m sorry they’re not directly sales-pitching your product for you 😂 But if you can keep getting Guy Martin to talk about his projects, I promise I’ll keep buying your oil 👍👍
Guy Martin is my kind of nutcase 😂 brilliant 👍
racing trucks and motorbikes , love it .
Absolutely mad as a box of frogs ,keep it up guy
It would be so fascinating to really get to talk to guy Martin about motorcycle tuning and engineering
Air resistance and drag must be huge after 200mph, hence the extra HP to get to 300mph, i remember engineers telling James May when he first drove the veyron that it only needs about 250HP to hit 150mph but another 750HP to hit 255mph.
3.3 bar is 47.8 PSI if your wondering peeps.
Guy should go for two records next, the naked speed record and the totally naked speed record (bike and rider)
Legend
It's an amazing bit of kit and look forward to where it gets to speed wise.
For a wheel driven record it's going to be amazing.
Eric Teboul managed 290mph in a 1/4 mile on two wheels but was Hydrogen Peroxide powered rocket bike...
Guy's cows are incredibly homesick :)
Guy " I'll bore you to death " i have never been so entertained with a engineering chat.
Would love to see the aero package on this bike, love that hes always pushing his interests
Dave did a great job interacting with guy to try maintain some focus 😂
Guy has no filter, but its great hes found his happy place, another book wouldnt go amiss.

I'm sure you will achieve your goal
Good luck
@TheBlibo the bike being too powerful was the issue because the dyno couldn't cope.. I'm pretty sure he knows which dyno to use.
@paul8161 with respect
Having been in the engine test business for nearly 40 years I can be sure that I know what I am talking about and so would Guy Martin, his problem is the crank cases are to weak for the power generated, putting a vehicle of any description up the track is a lot more forgiving than a dyno that can hold an engine at full power for any length of time.

So if your goal is to find out why and when components fail a rolling road dyno is pretty useless
@TheBlibo with respect, I said I thought guy knows which dyno to use. That's all . Nothing else.
I’d love to see him go 300 MPH
Absolutely fascinating and wild. What's the story with the roadtrain in the background?
I hit 60mph on my Suzuki ER50 going downhill. It had a 16 tooth front sprocket..
love you guy in my opinion your the best uk rider of all time il a man kool guy
Take it to Bonneville. Concider casting the enging block and head as one piece like the Offenhouser. Then it will hold the pressure and you can strengthen the main bearing areas.

Going 300 at bonneville isn’t an easy task either, but doing it in a mile from a stop on an un-prepped surface is a difficult task.
That's great Guy, but what about the oil. ? PMSL Top man.
Guy needs to come to NZ for the Burt Monroe festival and ride the Britten bike while hes there too
large attachments as Mr Hobbs would say.
Think the guy wanted to promote the lubricants abit more , poor chap! Could have said this wouldn’t be possible without the help from morris Lubricants, so go out and buy!! haha.
Brillaint
Watched all that waiting to find out about the oil in the bike…..not a word !!
Hi @ykdickybill thanks for getting in touch, the next episode comes out tomorrow where Guy gives a technical review of the bike and discusses what oil he uses amongst many other interesting things.
Guy is just great and dave 👍
Can you try an extended fin off the back end to try pull it straight like how a darts flight works
3rd wheel 😂❤ bless him! He wanted to chat about oil 😅
And that's all there is to it... 🤯
Legend 👊🏻✊🏻
We need to hear about that bike until the cows come home and then some.
He needs to just let rip on a podcast for however long it takes. His experience and knowledge, mixed with passion and excitement to learn just pulls you in.
Smart Fella !! 💪👍👍👍
You can't get Guy to talk about a subject, He diverts within 10 seconds lol
could you lightly knurl the rims to prevent tyre slip?
but using a pattern that prevents air leakage...
Guys you should have got a couple of chairs and let this man talk for 3 hours!
Love this stuff,guys getting s$#@ done 👍
Legend..
I recon that big turbo hanging out the left hand side will suck the bike sideways! 😬
Says hes got to run the bike naked (no fairing) to 272mph and then he said it'd be fine 😂 a mental genius
Think guy needs to put his money where his mouth is , carwow drag race against Pedrosa on the MotoGP ktm. It would be interesting at the very least but that thing is just ballistic

@19Robson48 I enjoyed the video and didn't need to know the different words you saw, and it didn't spoil the video.
Big Numbers lol..Brilliant..
Guy you are the bolloxs bro followed your career for years don't push it to far your better valued alive than dead 👍👍👍👍👍
Guy, can't you use a hub dyno for the bike ???? (I know of a guy in Birmingham who I reckon would love to help out......dynotorque)
Nothing mentioned about Hokeshot racing
What a boy.
Stuck morris lubricants into my Willys Jeep - no worries!
Man he could probably talk till the cows come home
Why not get a set of billit crankcases made if you’re constantly destroying the stock ones.
you going to do a standing mile or take her to the salt? or put on your big boy pants and do a Burt Monroe on a low tide beach somewhere?
Britain's Burt Munro.
I could listen to guy all day long just talking shite I don’t understand at all 🤣
I think Guy you need Allen Millyard to help with the crank case problem……..
Has Guy been on Joe Rogan yet?
They wouldn’t understand a bloody word he said!
fastest 1/4 mile on a drag bike 268 so with half a mile and taller gearing an extra 32mph ?
No point suggesting 299 is fast enough.
Acceleration from 160 is scary
