"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!
Guy is a remarkable human being the epitome of unique. He can speak until hes blue in the face but when somebody is speaking to him hes fully engaged and listening because hes genuinely interested in whats being said.
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 😂
Well the bloke brought out a book entitled “when you dead, you dead” and I know that the TT boys accept the risk but I’ll tell you what man. When he got that false neutral on the Honda and threw it down the road my heart was in my throat, my mate Trev and I had said before that session he shouldn’t be riding that Honda. Guy is genuinely a legend. Anyway keep it rubberside down man. Be safe.
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
I don't know, there's a sad twat in this comment section called Niall Barnsley who clearly doesn't love Guy because he's mad jealous and is doing everything he can to downplay his abilities. It's hilarious.
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
@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 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.
Don't worry that they didn't answer the question about oil. Just the fact that they are USING your oils in those applications is advertisement enough...lol. Thanks for sharing, and not leaving the footage in the editing room. 👏😎
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.
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!
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!..😱
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.
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.
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.
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
''I mean, I could talk until the cows come home about that'' 🤣😂 I love that man! What a legend! '' I want to do sort 270 with it, 270, cuz there is naked there's naked bike records, that's not me being naked, it's, it's the bite being naked'' ROLF!!
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.
They don't see that kind of speed, they're just not geared for it and they have too much aero. The 919 Evo got to ~230mph. Even before they added the chicanes to Le Mans, the fasted speed on the Mulsanne Straight (3.7 miles long )was 252mph.
@ You’re right, I don’t know where I got 280 from 😀. Just rewatched the Mercedes AMG ONE lap at Nurburgring from a few years ago & it only briefly touched 210 mph, flat out. Keonigsegg have a 300 mph road legal car now apparently, but I doubt if that speed would be anywhere near achievable within the confines of a typical race track.
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.
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.
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!!😮
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...
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 👍👍
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?
270 mph on a naked bike? I've been north of 220 *kph" without fairing, and it's no joke already. Some guys are mental, but this is the most mental 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.
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.
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
But wait a minute.... Its undoubtedly a good thing you know everything about the machine that your racing.... when you're putting your life on the line!
The problem of hitting 300mph is complicated, power is not the problem, wind speed is the biggest issue, along with rear tyre spin, front tyre lift, you are also heading into the unknown for handling characteristics of the bike. Far more dangerous than the TT regarding fatalities. Good luck Guy.
The big hurdle is taking parts from drag bikes kinda does what you want but they are built to take all the power instantly to move the bike a 1/4 mile as fast as possible. Trying to adapt that to a bike built for top speed has its own issues bc you need to stretch out that work time to have more efficient acceleration on the top end of the run. I would see what folks are using at bonneville or texas mile annual events… but knowing Guy, hes more than likely down all that research.
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.
Maybe he was referring to Bill's record in that way since it was in the 1.5 mile. He was attempting to hit 300 at the 1 mile marker before his accident.
He talks with that much passion and knowledge, let the cows come home. When you're smashing the crankcase you gotta go to a bigger engine, | mean a 7.5L V8
"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.
So it's not a standard engine
@garywatson9917 it started life as a standard engine, it's not a purpose built engine designed from the ground up for this one particular job.
Guy is a remarkable human being the epitome of unique. He can speak until hes blue in the face but when somebody is speaking to him hes fully engaged and listening because hes genuinely interested in whats being said.
Guy has no idea how bloody interesting all that is, Fantastic stuff, could listen to him for hours
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 🤙🏴
"That's not me being naked, it's the bike being naked" what a lad 😂
Haha I Was going to say the same

Anyway keep it rubberside down man. Be safe.
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
How can u not love Guy Martin ❤
I don't know, there's a sad twat in this comment section called Niall Barnsley who clearly doesn't love Guy because he's mad jealous and is doing everything he can to downplay his abilities. It's hilarious.
Please do a 2 hour chat with Guy .
He is a pure genius
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
Anything with Guy gets a like, living legend
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.

our typical British guy. but no British guy has accomplished our guy 'Guy' has accomplished. well done sir, your are an inspiration too us all.
It's people like Guy with his innovative mentality that made this country great.
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?🤣
the subtitles are really a godsend for understanding Guy
Can't get enough his knowledge it's astounding love it
I wish they'd give Guy a chance to talk 😂
Don't worry that they didn't answer the question about oil. Just the fact that they are USING your oils in those applications is advertisement enough...lol.
Thanks for sharing, and not leaving the footage in the editing room. 👏😎
" i can talk till the cows come home" 1000% said and said by Guy Martin.... the man is a legend
Love listening to Guy's enthusiasm. Enjoyed your video
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

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 haven't used the oils but the Morris Chain Lube are brilliant

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 🙏
Guy Martin is on one gotta love it, could listen to him all day lol 👍
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 😅

Guy "yes" 😂
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.
Every gear head likes to hear Guy Martin talk story. Sometimes I gotta rewind to clarify what he said, but the man is a mechanical savant
It would be so fascinating to really get to talk to guy Martin about motorcycle tuning and engineering
Guy should go for two records next, the naked speed record and the totally naked speed record (bike and rider)
have you considered a two stage waistgate ,low boost for traction in the lower gears,then high for speed
racing trucks and motorbikes , love it .
`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
Absolutely fascinating and wild. What's the story with the roadtrain in the background?
Legend
Absolutely mad as a box of frogs ,keep it up guy
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 :)
Would love to see the aero package on this bike, love that hes always pushing his interests
Guy " I'll bore you to death " i have never been so entertained with a engineering chat.
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 .
I love that this is subtitled.. 😆
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 has no filter, but its great hes found his happy place, another book wouldnt go amiss.

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?
I was just thinking as he was complaining about instability that the lower fork extensions would result in nearly zero trail.
Dave did a great job interacting with guy to try maintain some focus 😂
3.3 bar is 47.8 PSI if your wondering peeps.
Mush great video but we want a breakdown part by part and why you have used it and you're reasoning we could listen to you for hours mush ❤
Can you try an extended fin off the back end to try pull it straight like how a darts flight works
Could bolt the back type down to the wheel like tip down dragsters do, it will stip tyre slip, 👍

could you lightly knurl the rims to prevent tyre slip?
but using a pattern that prevents air leakage...
large attachments as Mr Hobbs would say.
I’d love to see him go 300 MPH
Guy is just great and dave 👍
The problem of hitting 300mph is complicated, power is not the problem, wind speed is the biggest issue, along with rear tyre spin, front tyre lift, you are also heading into the unknown for handling characteristics of the bike. Far more dangerous than the TT regarding fatalities. Good luck Guy.

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.
Maybe he was referring to Bill's record in that way since it was in the 1.5 mile. He was attempting to hit 300 at the 1 mile marker before his accident.
Possibly.... Bill's 296 in the mile will be hard to but beat I know he would love to have someone like Guy be the one to beat it.
That's great Guy, but what about the oil. ? PMSL Top man.
I recon that big turbo hanging out the left hand side will suck the bike sideways! 😬
You can't get Guy to talk about a subject, He diverts within 10 seconds lol
Love this stuff,guys getting s$#@ done 👍
