Thanks for watching, and for all the support! Had issues with the on-bike gopro, unfortunately no footage from it.

I TRACK STEWART THERE FOR SOME 6 YEARS,.WATCHED 460 MPH + GO BY ME ALL DAY..LOOK CLOSE AT MY PIC. MY FAV HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE 50-70 CC CLASS. YOU GOT TO STEP ON THE SALT FOR A FEW DAYS AND MAKE RUNS. DONT GET DOWN,IT TAKES TIME AND YOU WILL SET A RECORD ,,BEST WISHES..

it was really awesome to see how famous you were at the salt flats... everyone knew exactly who you were. thats a great accomplishment brother. hats off to you my friend from New York

[@TheMadManPlace]

You did NOT fail at Bonneville sir. As with most things in life, you have to pay your dues - and this time you made a BIG down-payment on that bill. I mean, fabricating a replacement rotary valve from an old saw blade with a rotary grinder and an angle grinder using a G-clamp and the leg of a wooden garden table as a vice - that blew me away... And to make matters even better, IT WORKED... Now go home, give your wife and children a BIG HUG and spend some quality time with them and rest up because you have a LOT of work to sort out in the next year. And speaking on behalf of at least 204k followers - WE WANT TO SEE IT ALL - and of course listen to your puzzling each of the issues out. Thanks for providing A GREAT CHANNEL to follow.

[@pauls5745]

Bonneville is a process. Some things can only be tested on a run at Bonneville, and you only get 3 or 4 shots per year. Amazing to see the project come along and do pretty well the first time there! So clever to make a valve from a saw blade on the spot!

Well done! Amazing you made it to Bonneville and got some experiences. Thanks for taking us along to see.

[@johnrodabaugh4887]

Absolutely heartbreaking, but your resolve and willingness to not only learn, but fail, is an inspiration to all of us! Keep up the great work and you'll crush the record next year!

I've been watching you for years and years. Loving every minute of your success and struggle, to watch you actually get there after the last Bonneville attempt is amazing.

I don’t think most people can appreciate how much time you invest in doing your own camera work that takes away from turning wrenches, I think you’ve got the cameraman/mechanic ratio tuned perfectly. Subscriber from near the beginning, have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and admire your successes along the way. Salute!

[@furtley]

Thanks for sharing your ups and downs in all your videos. When I was 17 I bought a Tri 250 Trophy just like your friends in the video, ,I learnt so much rebuilding that MC and passing my test on it. That was 43 years ago and the start of my two wheeled journey. Love what you do so thankyou from MANCHESTER ENGLAND ; )

[@jonasthomsen2578]

I reeeally love your channel, all the different cool engine projects and ideas, the testing-breaking-testing research and development, is very educating and very interesting for a 2 stroke lover like me. I have been waiting sooo long in excitement (just like a kid before Christmas), to see you race at Bonneville. I wish you the best and i really hope you take the record soon 🙏 Jonas. DENMARK.

This was awesome. Don't let it get you down. Nobody is perfect instantly. Practice and experience. Its what it's all about. All the blood, tears and sweat, my god so much sweat, will all be worth it when you get that record. Looks like you had a great time regardless.

Amazing effort, to think a stupid plugged gas cap caused so much frustration!! You got it next year for sure, can't wait to see it happen :)

[@extec101]

often its the complicated stuff that is acting up, but the gas cap its a so not a part that should be a problem that not many would think about it. alex need to sort out the bike and engine to next year to get it running clean before taking it out to the salt. i know its a process to make a good reliable bike (done that jurney myself) and i hope TSS cracks the code to make the engine reliable and perform.

[@maritimesoul]

@@extec101 True, the one part you'd never expect to cause problems. He's getting closer and closer, I think by next year he'll actually break 100 mph, not just beat the record but smash it :)

Waving at you all from Ogden UT .. Wish I could'a been there to see this one, but I'll be there for the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association races Sept 6-9, 2024 .. Seeing the motorcycle trip to play with all the motorcycles at the hill climb brings back childhood memories 100% (I grew up riding bikes in places like Jarrico, Goblin Valley, Pink Coral Sand Dunes, and all over the Wasatch mountains above our home in Centerville UT). Absolutely awesome, thanks for visiting the states :) .

Getting there. Just remember Rome wasn't built in a day. After road racing bikes for a many years I know the climb to the summit well and it is a long and painful one but once you reach the top all regrets and doubts vanish. I lost more times than I remember, crashed many times, blew up engines and did many walks of shame but finally I got my first win in 1000cc superbikes and it was and is still the best day of my life. People don't win or break records because they are gifted or wealthy, they win because they were the ones who never gave up while all those around them did. You will get there in the end Alex if you stick at it and don't give up like so many others do when the going gets too tough for them. Or in the words of a famous Aussie singer Bon Scott of ACDC, "Its a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll"

As an ex motorcycle mechanic I've never seen anyone fabricate a rotary valve from a saw blade. That's one angry bee! Congratulations on trying to get the 50cc record. And great job on the fabrication. I got my stock Honda 50 c-110 up to 55 mph when I was a kid of course the wind was at my back and I was probably going downhill. I'm 69 now but reminisce those days. These awesome and creative individuals pursuing this quest is truly what makes America the greatest country on earth. I just hope there is another planet somewhere out there where they are having as much fun and creativity as we are on this planet.

I live here on the other side of the Great Salt Lake and the heat gets to me as well, this year was extremely hot for longer period of time. Today is August 17th and only recently in the past few days has it dropped -5-10f at night. Day time is still roughly the same. Speedweek really should be closer to start or beginning of June imo If it would have been the start of June it was a lot cooler. it only got hot the week of 4th of July
