  • Join us inside the machine shop of the world’s quickest and fastest Top Fuel Motorcycle drag racer Larry “Spiderman” McBride as the 20-time champion shows us what he has to do to his world record holding Top Fuel Bike between races. From the complete motorcycle engine rebuilds and inspections, to brake inspection and cleaning, to chassis inspection and maintenance and even cleaning and servicing of the team’s 18-wheeler, we give you a full inside look at what it takes to go motorcycle drag racing at this level. We even talk a little about electric drag racing and the electric motorcycle speed record McBride holds with Orange County Choppers, and how the team may go after another record. We also update you on everywhere Larry McBride will race his Top Fuel Nitro Bike in 2022.

    When he said me and my brother have always taken our racing seriously is such an understatement. I have been around plenty of family race teams. This is now one of my favorites !!! They are very inspiring ! So much goes into racing at this level. So much work and dedication. Great video Cycle Drag !!!

    The success of the team is a combination of extreme talent, Larry and brother Steve. One is no less important than the other.

    Let me tell you people, Larry is a great guy and if you ever get to meet him he will treat you just like a family member. He is the real deal. Born to go fast. Good luck this year Spiderman!

    That Man is the King for a reason. Because his brother is the king of fuel. Fuel isnt the easiest thing to get your head around. Fuel can break the bank if your not doing thing RIGHT.The time spent in the shop really starts paying off when you start going rounds

      My favorite part of watching these things run is when the crew chief leans in and flips the fuel to the high side it just hits a TON!!!!

    • @cll1639
      @cll1639 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only thing I learned from Steve McBride is that he's not the least bit interested in giving interviews. Not unlike NHRA's Warren Johnson when he's at the racetrack. Not unlike YT's Angry Grandpa. He might be a nice guy to have Thanksgiving dinner with but he's a man to himself when it comes to the race operation and is best left alone.

    • @rinin16

      I hate cameras too I understand where he's coming from. He cracks here and there. One of those guys that doesn't talk but when he does it's always worth hearing.

    Amazing technology in every thing they do. I'm curious as to how much oil pressure these motors run . Larry and his brother steve have made top fuel motorcycle racing what it is today!
    High tech is nothing without attention to detail. This is the hallmark of their program. Great motorcycle, great team and great preparation = #1 . Best of luck this season guys! I'll be watching.
    I would sure buy a signed piston no doubt .. Thanks for an awesome video 📹

    • @cll1639
      @cll1639 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's about $30 per gallon, sold in 42 gallon drums and I don't know if the McBrides are allowed to bring their own nitro to the track or not. Nitro dragsters and funny cars running the NHRA circuit are required to buy it on site from NHRA's official and only supplier, Sunoco.

    amazing shop and they guys are doing amazing work low mid 5's is insane. very surprised to hear they are using BMW bearings as a BMW guy i know that the Achilles heel of every M engine is the rod bearings most BMW guys go aftermarket for their bearings or switch to a coated bearing there's even class action lawsuits against BMW for its rod bearings. my s65 is on its second replacement set.
