I met Mike and Rocky at Mike Cook Shoot Out last year (2016) and they very nice folks. The salt was in very poor condition and they did not even get the bike off the trailer. There was only two reasons to risk it on the poor salt, 1) Someone breaks their record - no one even close or 2) They would run if they could get 400 mph - the salt would not support a speed anywhere near 400 mph. I got the impression that Mike was about done with running on the salt and who could blame him after what they accomplished and after seeing a friend Sam Wheeler dieing a couple months earlier out on the salt.
Great video but that music kill it. The sound of that engine is the real music. I wanted to hear that thing screaming through the air and more close up of the streamliner.
Funny to hear stories,then see this film having met a couple of the people involved. 400 MPH isn't going to be easily done, but I wish the team the best of luck.
I wonder how much prize money there is to be the fastest motorcycle in the solar system. I'm guessing not a red cent. But if you have lottery money it'd be an interesting hobby. Where they ought to run is on the highway that passes the flats. When I drove by way back when in my 67 GTO I don't recall any curves for what seemed like forever. It'd be real interesting to see what those machines could do with plenty of traction.
Une incroyable moto certes, avec une vitesse fatidique de 400 mph! a t-elle faite ce records du monde de vitesse?! Merci pour ce partage passionnant...
Duplicating the speed seems like a useless dumb rule. Just like playing 7 games to determine an NBA or MLB championship. Wastes resources and time, let alone adds risk for the drivers.
To get from 50cc and 150mph the extra technology that's needed to go faster is amazing, its like the difference between a motorbike you recognize to a rocket ship for space travel you know nothing about, PS dump the music, spoils the film,
At 16:12 it says over 1hour to return trip. What's up, I thought it had to be under an hour ?
Crazy how the Doppler effect makes it sound as though the bike is decelerating as it passes by
This looks and sounds like a corporate video shown at a stockholders meeting; artless.

The gyroscopic forces of the wheels keep it up right with out the ability to lean ?
Motorcycles are really stable standing up under power. If my dirtbike leans to far I’ll throttle out n it pulls the bike up.

then get your fucking ass to Bonneville! for now STFU!
@@camgnilpe9300 He's right, though. If I didn't know better, I would think this video was a 1970 television documentary.
@@camgnilpe9300 wow... you are a complete douche.

This looks like Ace and Gary's car from the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
+Deborah Ball I thought the same thing... lol.
Ha ha!
why not use a small skinny driver?
yeah or a petite asian with a tight snatch
The British are building a rocket powered wheel driven bike that will reach 800+ mph. The bike is ready to test in south Africa in March 2020
How did that go hahahaha
There is no record that cannot be broken! #GoHumans ! #BonnevilleSaltFlats
Only very old guys in this sport...

nice music, too loud...
whining bitch!
WHAT?
Rocky sounds like a 12 old Jewish girl!!! Lmfao

So silly to call it a motorcycle, it’s a bloody 2 wheeled vehicle. Motorcycle’s can turn, these things only go straight.
That’s not a motorcycle 🏍
Gay!
This is not a 2 wheeler it has 4 wheels, who named it 2 wheeler? And also the pilots is inside and no support by his legs. Heights of stupidity.
The little tiny wheels are for parking, and are retracted completely into the body. Are you as stupid as your post ?
What bike do you own?
