Congratulations to Jimmy, Larry, Steve and crew! It takes a lot of courage and focus to ride a Top Fuel Bike and for Jimmy to be doing so well after a 16-year gap is absolutely incredible.
Great vid Jack, thanks for posting. Watching from Bourne, England. That last pass was cooking, great work from JB and Team McBride. Look forward to the next test👍
Great job Jimmy...even though you slept on the light a bit" a little bit of ring rust... still a incredible run! Thanks you too for sharing this experience Cycle G! Very cool!
Wow ! that was great . Congratulations to the " Hulk " and the entire team. It is so good to see another TF bike coming out. Thanks Jack , great video.
From my experience w/Harkey Progas and Topfuel (back in 90's with B&M Cycles & Emory Racing). . Riding the bike is like driving a riding mower on a hill. You lean off it to keep it going straight Everything happens in slow motion as your riding and grunting to hold on.. It's when you hit the shutdown. That rear tire starts folding and buckling. That it gets hairy. I never road one that the rear brakes where worth a dam. Most of the braking was done with the front brake. They are beast to ride.
Went to Sonoma for the drags last weekend, enjoyed the Pro Stock bikes, but I want NITRO!!!!....Did not get a chance to talk to anyone from NHRA about the possibility of including top fuel bikes in the future, all we can do is hope it works out soon.
Jack, sometime you should do a walkthrough video with these guys and have them explain what the switches they're flipping do during the burnout and right before they stage. I see they flip one on the right side and one or two on the left side.
Is Jimmy putting together his own “team”? Would think he’d have his own crew and equipment there as well, to garner experience and familiarity from McBrides. Way steep learning curve in this, but, all seem to be doing a incredible job. Expect there’s some takeaways for Larry and Steve for the different perspective, and expect greater things of them, for the experience.
The decline in motorsports and specifically motorcycles starts on the road, the whole industry is hurting. Kids dont want to ride. A large portion of students at the college where I work dont even have drivers licenses. The fear of driving in a car is overwhelming to many of these kids, getting on a motorcycle is just a hard no for them. Even some of the kids that are happy going to the mall and racing the electric kart cars are too timid to drive on the road.
He's right,, many of the younger generation aren't driving,, mostly because of the cost. We elders don't understand,, we didn't have the money back in the 60's either but weekday we turned 16 we were at the DMV getting our drivers license! We wanted the FREEDOM a drivers license gave us. We hated it but borrowed Mom's car until we owned one of our own which took only a few months working at the local gas station, grocery or hardware store. There were no fast food restaurants in the small of America in the early to mid 1960's so that wasn't an option. Key thing here is this,, we wanted to drive and we found a way to do that!!
With the price of motocross bikes,kids can’t afford the cost. They would rather buy a car so they can motor around with their buddies. Not only that but many teens are afraid they may have to apply a band aid to a scratch.
Wow!! Jimmy's one 'driven' and brave soul to be willing to, after 16 years away from the sport, toss a leg over the bodywork of that monster, put tha boots to it and RIDE IT! Wow! Also wanna mention it does a body good to see most of the crew wearing hearing and lung protection when working around the running motorcycle. Hopefully more will ignore what it looks like and protect the only IRREPLACABLE eardrums and lungs GOD gave them by following suit. Eyes and ears are worth protecting,, they cannot be bought in a medical facility no matter how much money someone may have access to. Thank you Jack!
noone puts more attention to detail than Steve McBride... Don't believe me.. go turn the fans off on his tow Mule.. They stop at the same time, and in the same position.. He is that picky... The man
It was built for Jimmy's comeback to the sport by Steve & Larry, so not Larry's bike, but it's still a 5 second manchine. With Larry, Dave (Vantine) and Jimmy on these machines, they're keeping the sport alive. Enjoy the moment!
@@Topnikko That's a good question, because the McBride brothers will be quite busy with their own bike. Maybe Jimmy & Sydney Marshall can manage doing it. Maybe Jack Korpela will reveal the answer.

Orlando and Sydney what an absolute champion organisation.

Great content Jack,
Would love to see a talk thru of what the rider has to do from burn out to lauch (clutch throttle etc etc, 🤞🏁🇬🇧
yes, maybe they could do a video about learning to ride
Great job Jimmy...even though you slept on the light a bit" a little bit of ring rust... still a incredible run!
Thanks you too for sharing this experience Cycle G! Very cool!
Great 'test and tune'. Good luck to Mr. Brantley. Also love that Starlink dish at the end there. Thanks Jack.

Great job to all of you, A big shout out to Larry Spyder man McBride, & all the crew..🙋👍
Great job Jack! Thank you very much. Tom, Switzerland (Europe)

I LOVE cycledrag from Darlington South Carolina.

Great video. And Narration Hats off to the team. Looks like it is coming together.
loving this episode here in england.fantastic.
that was loads of fun to watch!!! that run where he spun out and went sideways had me out of my seat!!!
Good session , good coverage, thank you
Great coverage Jack ! 😮
Thanks......
Great job love your work. Melbourne Australia
Interesting the difference in power and time. Some guys on turbo 1L bikes have broken into the 5's.
Great channel,fantastic content. Thanks for sharing!

Great job . Outstanding eford.
Well done Jimmy!!!!
Hey Jack.. these old farts are in better shape than most guys much younger! And I'm an old fart too!
You guys need to bring your bikes up to Martin or Milan Michigan
Super run 😊
HOOCHIE MAMA I would love to feel what that feels like to go that fast that fast.
Pops still has it. But 16 years now seat time it will come back to him as long as it's not a lot of changes to his bike
Thanks Jack
Maybe the frame and swingarm are flexing under so much power and traction
What motor is on that bike?
Go Larry
Nothing wrong with a little “moisture in the box”….
super awesome

Not sure where u live but Motorcycle Sales are Up Higher than Ever
Many of them are confused about their gender.

Those leathers look loose, gonna cause some friction burn if he ever tests them out.

Why is Brantley riding Spiderman's bike?

@@Jonathan-L thank you! Will Jimmy have his own crew to support it?
