"Four more runs and you'll be world champion." I wouldn't doubt that for a moment, it's Guy Martin we're talking about.

[@jamesshone1677]

You can tell the man believes it too because he said it so bluntly😂

[@leemason5953]

You know that has planted a seed in Guy's head👍👍

[@sashacoe25]

@@leemason5953 Oh, here we fucking go...

[@niklashall5969]

I don't care if Guy Martin hasn't won a TT race yet, in my eyes he is world champion of the two wheels.

[@SuperMikerico]

I reckon three

[@14rs2]

This just sounds like guy saying to the producers “I want to have a go on a drag bike” and them saying ok we will make it work

[@deadendfriends1975]

Oh definitely !

[@jameskeating6626]

02:10 "because drag increases at double the rate of speed", whilst the equation correctly shows velocity squared.

[@tonyhollerz6958]

4:03 ngl I thought that was him screaming😂😂😂

[@cowboytanaka6675]

4:35 I love how they covered up the Wilson Logo after guy turned their bike into a fireball

[@imnotsurewhy]

Leave to Guy to almost break a world record unintentionally. What a mad lad.

[@Slidewxyz]

Guy said it himself in another episode, “I’ll be a jack of all trades but a master of none”. Everything he tries, he is great at. Would be a real honour to have a mentor like Guy, wish i had as much charisma as him.

[@deadendfriends1975]

If we had a million Guys, the world would be a helluva place !

[@dragonfly8080808]

One of our few national heroes, love to see him do a few runs on a drag bike!

[@lkfh1]

I fall in love with guy every time I see a video ! Splendid dude

[@RealmRiftGaming]

"four more runs and you'll be a champion" Guy : 'think I'll stay humble here as usual'

Abseloutly quality content keep it up

[@NoOne-hm3fc]

I am pretty impressed what did and what you are doing. Always take care with your journey. Happy ride.hehehe

[@wonkydogleathercraft6698]

The man is a legend!

[@sarunassurvila7857]

‘’Just 3 seconds off the current record’’ lmao

So....the coolest people on youtube currently are Guy Martin and a laughing Fox named Finnegan. I am completely OK with that.

[@sir.lithium81]

And mike finnegan

What a Guy!

Bravo))

[@sagunkhadka9786]

He is like wolverine

Man that is impressive!

[@catweasle5737]

"Four more runs and you'll be world champion." I recon he could do it in two.

[@antoniomariotti8904]

Sei un grande

[@SceneArtisan]

Come on, admit it, you all came here to see Guy do the 1/4 mile. I know *_I_* did! ;)

[@jasonups5386]

I was looking for a crash n burn 😔

[@LuccianoNova]

Why else would we click on the video

[@VeeFour]

"Four more runs and you'll be world champion" They laugh, but it's probably true

[@louiswalker5510]

*Dude explaining steering at high speeds to Guy “right” 😈

[@michiel1362]

Well its a different type of bike and back tire is completely flat..

[@stuarth43]

you miss the point, entirely, that massive drive tyre lets you go in one direction, nothing like riding a road racing bike at all

[@bradbutcher3984]

If the guy he said it to didn't take it personal, then you shouldn't either. Guy is a grown ass man and doesn't need a protector. Grow up dude.

[@louiswalker5510]

I just thought it was funny, you can piss right off with that noise

[@mayb8876]

4 more runs guy would probably be world champion

[@classicraceruk1337]

Go guy

[@stuarth43]

you are a funny bugger Guy, stay well.

[@leddygee1896]

I'd really like to have some beers with him and talk shop... Guy "I'll try anything" Martin😎

[@tomaszheller9205]

Guy did you ever drive a Suter Racing bike? It is a beast!!! 4 cylinder 2 stroke...

[@davidelliott5843]

Some of those bikes sounded like the clutch was slipping on gear shifts.

[@vickypamei1704]

This Guy has adamantium balls !

I think Ian is the bloke my dad used to race against in the 90s with the old jcb bike

[@n3ron7]

next stop... the Saturn rocket!!!

[@Johnnysthunder]

The only one... I wonder how many bikes we got running parachutes in the US, tons. Hell you can find street run Bikes with em I’m sure haha

[@sabotagedali6006]

0:46 the only bike to use a parachute ? The bloke next to him has literally got the same set up 🤣🤣🙄

[@stevefield9967]

Santa Pod is in Northamptonshire.. not Bedford. just sayin.

[@Ash-hk7sb]

Is this good beginner bike?

[@rideroll9609]

Yeah, it really is :D

[@markmiller-lm3gg]

3secs slower...give him another run and he will smash that record!

[@JohnMartin22222]

Santa pod is not in Bedfordshire??? It’s in Northampton.

[@MrMinimanmatt]

No its in Podington that is quite firmly in Bedfordshire

[@vernonbear]

Santa Pod Raceway Airfield Road Podington Wellingborough Northants NN29 7XA England From their own website. Northamptonshire.

[@sparky4878]

Some things say the airfield is Bedfordshire, it certainly used to be anyway. It’s pretty much on the border and wouldn’t be surprised if it’s moved between the counties when the lines have changed. The village of Podington is in Bedfordshire. Maybe the airfield is now Northamptonshire. But Santa Pod has a Bedford phone number. Saying that Bedford has a Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, post code to confuse things.

[@peterroberts3453]

Then put the guy on the drag bike on a GSXR1000 on the starting grid at the IOM TT... See if he could come within 20 mph lap of guys time...Those men have balls of cast iron....

[@davidconger1577]

Ask Don Garlits how parachutes work to slow you down.

[@jasonups5386]

Think he’s gonna need clutch on that bike MATE

[@1981stonemonkey]

Natural Wolverine.

Except Wolverine isn’t as indestructible as Guy.

lol "JUST" 3 seconds off the record.

Give the man some Nitro to play with.

4 more !! or maby not

[@neilfairless4589]

Gonna have to call him Buster if they get any bigger.

[@sparky4878]

That’s why he built that fast tractor, to carry them around in.

[@bbb462cid]

I think Guy and Jimmy Doolittle would have been good friends

[@petefletcher]

Nah, two more runs 😁

[@chemtatrawta99]

why not try to break a drag race record mr Guy Martin??

[@Makermook]

The 2 in the equation doesn't mean double, it means squared.

[@JoeMtMan]

I've been on this Drag Strip....it is fast af.

[@Jafmanz]

Its stationary Joe... the vehicles move though. Technically it's moving through space at a few thousand miles an hour but thats only relative.... Are you on day release?

[@Philth_E]

@@Jafmanz lol

[@JoeMtMan]

@@Jafmanz nah out for good behavior. And yeah you are right cuz technically it is just laying there. But like you said it's still goin thousands of miles a hour. The color thing what I read about yours. Is that your not some flat earthers that thinks we are standing still. But yes this is a fast track.

[@sparky4878]

Was it relaid not long ago? I heard they were having problems with the tarmac and started losing records. Not that I’ll be going down there at those speeds. Do having something with 400bhp but it’s got four wheels, lots of leather, comfy seats. Won’t be troubling that bike!

[@bbb462cid]

@@Jafmanz LOL you don't know much about drag racing. A 'fast track' is one conducive to achieving high speeds and good ETs. Some ain't as fast as others. Altitude, track composition, age, wind, temperature....

[@dynomiterecords4348]

Not sure Santa Pod is the fastest strip outside America. I suspect Sydney dragway Australia might have a claim on that title.

Who also got this recommended in 2022 😂

[@coopsgti]

Is there a TL1000R involved in that bike at all? The fairings say so

[@Konocti]

It's probably a Hayabusa. Definitely a 4 cylinder not a V-twin

[@scottcollier9728]

TL body, GSX1100 highly tuned engine

[@filmopfil]

wow santa pod is in GB :0 i thought in usa

[@LuccianoNova]

Guys use to going over 200 mph

[@sparky4878]

True, just used to it taking a little longer to get there.

haha he ran a drag bike as fast as he rides through the streets on the Isle of Man...

[@echo9082]

Just 3 seconds off, that's miles in drag racing lol

[@mikerope5785]

yeah, in a competition, which guy was not taking part in.

[@echo9082]

@@mikerope5785 it's also miles off in general, maybe on bikes it's way different, but with most cars anyone could jump in and run within 10% of the fastest speed, if the car isn't turned down

[@mattouli]

Guy’s quite used to the speed, no steering is a bit stranger

[@gasgas2689]

Except when the BMW mechanics forgot to turn off the anti wheelspin in the TT.......kaboom

[@jfoster1202]

Nobody told him what a bar bike is did they? Man slowly let out the clutch like it was gonna come up. A 9.70 on a 7.40 bike for Guy Martin is not great lmfao.

[@ontheedge33371]

I love Guy Martin and I’m sure he has absolutely nothing to do with the commercials played by You tube but I will tell you the racist anti China Epoch Times commercials are hateful and should never be allowed on You Tube ! With such a cool guy like Guy who was welcomed in China I think he would be pissed off to say the least ! Shame on You Tube !

[@steezydan8543]

Found the Communist Bandit! Epoch Times is not Anti-China, they're an independent news outlet that was created by Falun Gong members who fled persecution from the Chinese Communist Party.

[@steezydan8543]

I really love this comment actually because it's textbook disinformation. You play a trick and make Guy Martin the object of your sentence when you really have nothing about to say about him, but it's like we're supposed to feel ashamed because he is involved and we like him. Second you do the classic Chinese tactic of guilt tripping someone because they did business or travelled to China, like because your government took their money they somehow owe them anything. You're a goddamn rat, man.

[@RideKernow82]

He always seems to wear his lid a little high.

[@sparky4878]

It’s all that hair he’s got to squash down inside the helmet.

[@babyyoda6587]

Tell Wolverine over there to cool it

[@jasperb9504]

3:48 doesnt seem like the safest helmet out there

[@benotto8631]

Why not?

[@krpinckney]

It won't matter. Just about any crash off of a drag bike that includes anything other than sliding straight down the track probably was never gonna end well.

[@sparky4878]

You mean the way it seems rather high up? As I suggested in another comment maybe it’s just all his hair. He can’t get the helmet down far enough with that big mop on top of his head.

[@benotto8631]

Sparky he wears the helmet all the time in this position! Also when he has short hair

[@y0ur_name_here]

160? He goes faster on his own equipment than that.

[@Tinas2Labs]

not in a 1/4 mile

1st

[@vibhorsharmax]

Are you wolverine?

[@mitchgoated3887]

Only 3 seconds off the record, the old am doesn’t know much about drag racing, still a really fast time for a first pass

[@AshitakaYakul]

So are these old videos or new? The quality is always shit.

[@riptwan]

400hp isn't very much for a drag bike. Doesn't Guy have a mental turbocharged muscle bike himself?

[@scottcollier9728]

Yes he does. But this bike is n/a. So 400bhp from a 4 cylinder all motor bike is a lot.

[@ylli85]

@0:15 63 mph is not very fast is it?

[@sparky4878]

Lying face down head first going down a mountain on basically a tray with blades it’s pretty fast. 63 was the target to beat the world record at the time. Guy actually went 83.5mph down the mountain. I’d call that quite fast.

[@ylli85]

@@sparky4878 so it wasnt so fast 😁

[@silverpairaducks]

I can beat that

[@RAAFLightning1]

400hp isnt even that much. A Top Fuel dragster has an excess of 10,000...

[@stevenallan7368]

Yes but on a bike have u been on a bike before

[@stevehiatt848]

Ian King more like 1600hp.....

[@thebr0wnhornet]

2:56 literally no idea what guy said. Do we both speak English?lol

[@sparky4878]

@thebr0wnhornet It’s always fun with Guy to turn on the auto subtitles to see what they say. Sometimes they just give up. It didn’t even really try with that sentence. I think he said “I’m going into the unknown, I like that, I like that, I think it’s going to be alright”.

"Just three seconds..." Mate, i'm not taking anything from Guy, he's great. But that is over 50 slower; it's miles off the pace.
