I love seeing things like this. It's a genuine piece of American folk art. It exhibits the highest levels of imagination, creativity, and craftsmanship. I honor you Sir. Well done.
I'm glad this video is finally getting some exposure! The 8:71 BDS blown V8 was built by Tim Cotterill (owner who is shown riding the beast) with John Arruzza, and Michael Lees with a ten gallon fuel cell and three speed and was just delivered Jan, 2009. The bike has around a 144" wheelbase and although not fully proven is estimated to take 1000 bhp running on pump gas. Tim has taken it as fast as 150 MPH in the desert and he's sure there is more in there.
Goddamn I love mechanics. When everything is working how you made it and want it to work. Especially a project like this trike. Every day when it is not raining and having this in your garage,is like a new day.
hahaha => the part when he picked up that woman he used a parachute ;-D never saw that one comming ;-) and then the subtle smile on his face, beautiful ;-D nicely filmed and great piece of art he's riding ;-)
The VIDEO production NEVER put the trike on a dyno.The picture was NEVER 'sped up". We used a camera car to follow and flank the Rocket II. We also mounted the camera in numerous places ON THE TRIKE itself. MOST of the video is shots from the hard mounts. The song people are asking about is an original piece made for the edit. We did have to stop for A LOT of ice to cool that thing down frequently. Tim didn't receive ANY tickets. The crew received THREE in the making of this video.
I am an Artist and former Custom Car builder and this is the Baddest Piece of Art I have ever seen on three wheels besides the Builders other Vehicles.......
5:12 "Dude! Go back! I think she fell off in the tunnel!! " Wicked looking machine! 5stars. Almost like something out of The Road Warrior, especially going through the desert.
Not bad for a boy from Leicester in the UK whos pretty good at carving birds and dont forget those pretty cool frogs he makes. As we say here, "the boy done well". What a stunning trike.
Saw this awesome bike on another post getting hated on by bunch of idiots who don't appreciate craftsmanship. Seeing this front on pulling out the garage at the start of the video put a big grin on my face. This is utterly crazy in the best possible way... love it. Nice video.
WAUUWWW, I THOUGHT I'VE SEEN IT ALL, BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFULL... WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT, THERE ARE NO WORDS HOW I CAN DESCRIBE HOW AMAZED I AM BY THIS PEACE OF ART !!!!
Was going back to work after my lunch break when, passed by this Crazy Ass trike on Gardena Blvd. I road a couple blocks then thought, I gotta go back and see what the hell that Silver Monster was. That's when I met Tim Cotterill & his Rocket II. Truly the most impressive fab work I have ever seen. Glad I spoke with him, cool dude. When I got back to work I was stoked cuz.... to see fab work like this it really motivates me to do something similar but on a much smaller scale. -Honest Mike
I agree. What is the actual artist and song presented in this video? I mean the guitar solo piece. And I'd like to know the actual piece - not Darude's Sandstorm :D
I'm sure if you asked Frogman, he'd tell you that yes - his leaning into the curves shift of his body weight really does impact a faster corner with this 4 wheeled trike layout! Getting his groove on. Nicely done "trike"!! cruzen3
I use to work three door down from Tim. A true Renaissance man. He does sculpture in bronze and is known around Venice as Frogman. He has another trike, or did that was modeled after a Ferrarri type design. Bad ass. I'm proud to have a couple of his bronzes in my collection.
Wow amazing job I love everything about it! It all works well together in every way just wow is all I can really say it seems to run very smooth damn fine job.
hi tim been searching for your cbx for years,have the photo on my garage wall saw this then noticed cbx in background,nice to see the cbx is still alive

One of the coolest vehicles I have ever seen.
I come back about every 2 months to watch this and get my fix , This bike is king of all. Its the holy grail of trikes. And tim is Awesome.!
Goddamn I love mechanics. When everything is working how you made it and want it to work.
Especially a project like this trike. Every day when it is not raining and having this in your garage,is like a new day.
After all these years still awesome dude thanks
This the baddest bike, the frogman is king, rides the coolest ride, everyone else is second.
hahaha => the part when he picked up that woman he used a parachute ;-D
never saw that one comming ;-) and then the subtle smile on his face, beautiful ;-D
nicely filmed and great piece of art he's riding ;-)
Brilliant creation, and fantastic shooting.
gasp!!! awesome. engineering at its finest.
Awesome trike with some awesome tech and GREAT looks !

The coolest ride I have seen in a long time. Just not over functional, allows you to go from A to Z with keeping you to stop between.

Crazt but beautiful. Blown V8 on a trike? Too insane. I love it.
Love the whistling sound of that big old huffer on that big block.
2019 г. Просто Мега проект!!!! Респект этому парню!!!!
To my wife.... you now have a very clear idea on what i want for Xmas.... I want to thank you in advance for an awesome gift!!
might just be the coolest thing i have ever seen
5:12 "Dude! Go back! I think she fell off in the tunnel!! "
Wicked looking machine! 5stars.
Almost like something out of The Road Warrior, especially going through the desert.
What a great video! Thanks so much - wishes from vienna (europe).
Brilliant from start to finish.
The video editing is as artistic and well thought out as the strong preforming trike itself...well done
Super Creative work of Art that Goes so very fast
This is the most manliest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Not bad for a boy from Leicester in the UK whos pretty good at carving birds and dont forget those pretty cool frogs he makes. As we say here, "the boy done well". What a stunning trike.
perfect design and perfect execution of the master steering
respect for the creator! damn good craftsmanship!
Frogman,You totally Rock :)

With that much chrome on his trike, no wonder he has to use sunglasses to ride that beauty!
it's one of the sickest machines I've ever seen and I want one!
Good to watch a cool video with out head banging music nice trike.
I agree. What is the actual artist and song presented in this video? I mean the guitar solo piece. And I'd like to know the actual piece - not Darude's Sandstorm :D
Outstanding video

As ridiculous as this thing is, I love the fact that he actually rides it instead of just having it in a garage and not using it.

Amazing Machine. The video is great.
Batman needs one of those only in black, nice bike!
I love how he leans into the corners.... like that'll make a difference.
Hats off to the engineering tho, we need more of you good sir!
I'm sure if you asked Frogman, he'd tell you that yes - his leaning into the curves shift of his body weight really does impact a faster corner with this 4 wheeled trike layout! Getting his groove on. Nicely done "trike"!!
