The Salt Ghost: Return of The Nitro Express - Full Length Film

This full length film is brought to you by - www.lowbrowcust...
Lowbrow Customs is proud to present The Salt Ghost: Return of the Nitro Express! This hour long documentary shows our path of discovery of the history of this bike, it's builder, it's over two decades of El Mirage and Bonneville Salt Flats race history, and it's return to glory on the Salt.
"In the 1960s and 1970s, legions of speed freaks blasted down the drag strips and dry lakes of Southern California on their two-wheeled tickets to thrills. Legions more campaigned machines at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats during the same time. What happened to these motorcycles? The vast majority of them have disappeared into the mists of time, disassembled and used for restoring soulless stockers or simply forgotten in old sheds and barns. Once in awhile one turns up and gets sold to a museum or carefully displayed in some motorcycle shop owner’s office. Rarely if ever again do these machines return to their beloved battleground: the Dry Lake or Salt Flat.
The Return of the Nitro Express is the story of one bike that did not get filed away and retired. Thanks to two present day cowboy speed junkies who eschew modern technology and dance with dangerous old motorcycles, the Salt Ghost will be reborn; or will it? Watch as Wes and Tyler bring the Nitro Express back to where it all began, to the dry and hot Bonneville Salt Flats where legends are born in blood, sweat and gears!"

I stumbled on this in my feed. My buddy found a 1968 Trumph 650 bobber in a storage locker he bought at auction. When I saw it at his house I asked how it rides. He doesn't ride so he hadn't tried to start it. I put my knife in the ignition and the light turned on, opened the petcock and it fired on the second kick. I rode it a couple of blocks and returned it. It was awesome to be that low, that old, that cool. He doubled his price by the time I returned. When I saw your bike, I was hanging on to hear if it was a 650. So cool to see your bike, I was cheering so loud my dog left the room. Thanks for the film.

[@jeff2231963]

What a wonderful to spend 61 minutes. Thank you for the unique history lesson.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Yeah, i bought a new leftover 73 500cc TT in 1974. Nice owning it from new but i could see a lot of wrenching in my future.

[@sopiagotim]

Thanks for taking the effort to make your video, which I totally enjoyed! I would have loved it even more, if there wasn’t music playing loudly during the times that motorcycles engines are running. I’d much prefer listening to the sweet sounds of a good running motorcycle, than any music at all. Maybe very softly?

[@mikeweaver238]

Great video!!!

[@markmanwaring3823]

Like the other blokes say , please ditch the music , those engines are a song all of their own ,let them thunder . What a cool old machine too , doesn't she sound great . Great vid , will look forward to seeing more in the future , only 3 MPH to go !!

Awesome !!!

Pinche triumph se escucha de poca madres! Sweet ass documentary!

[@nicolaasmarais1068]

Fu......g awesome.....youre my inspiration to build a salt ghost.... im working on it...but please dont play music when that bike is running you spoil the sound of the bonni...please....god bless take care

[@routmaster38]

In the late seventies I used to race various two stroke crosses in Sand races in the UK and at at annual championship races a guy used a "slider"chasiswith a 350cc Triumph engine and single carb and after being a bit slow off the line won his races easily.However in the Club races held after he got beaten even by me.So.e folk demanded his engine measured but was legal.......was he on nitro for those championship races ?

[@dumberdrumerstickz0534]

loner' says thanks for the memories...

[@mikeymike3240]

That was freaking awesome guys, no doubt that you will have the record next time out. That bike is amazing, so old and yet so fast. You guys have honoured Theo and Fritz and everyone else who races at the salt flats.

[@chrisbunker2117]

Fantastic stuff you guys. just one thing bugged me. when the bike was doing the runs, it would have been better if the background music wasn´t so intrusiv, loud. I would much rather hear that motor running, you don´t get to hear that sort of thing, in this day and age very often. I like it!

[@Jonpilen]

Man this documentary was sweet! But there's no need for the 'dramatic' music.

[@andrewbull3537]

The sound of an old triumph firing up ,now THAT is what you call a thing of beauty, even a harley doesn't come near (sorry harley owners ,but you must agree with me !!!!).,when i heard that bike start in the workshop all the hairs on my arms stood up!!!! See you later, careful on road

[@deershack5388]

I've had both and do agree with you!

[@tucoramirez8397]

Cool but I wouldn't go THAT far. Sorry.

[@deershack5388]

I here Harleys all day everyday maybe that has something to do with it! I rue the day I sold my Triumphs.

[@JAKEWJONES]

sky scratch I love Triumphs but I also liked the sound of my RC8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqmalYmgd5umjMU

[@whatsstefon]

It was like a lion's roar. Every hair on my body stood up.

[@MD-bk7kb]

Absolutely brilliant....but loose the music when the bikes running!!! Lets hear the engine!!!!

[@Afro408]

My thoughts exactly! Why, oh Why, do you feel the need to put that shitty, so-called 'music' in there while the bike is on the course. Sheeet. :(

[@scottygdaman]

The music is the thump of a 650. Only tunes needed

[@maximoagan6110]

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@Afro408 Same shit on some fly fishing videos. I wanna listen to, what I'm looking at. How can that be hard to understand, being intuitive logic for me...

[@getoutofyourmomsbasement]

EXACTLY!!!

[@scotth6848]

This was the best thing I have watched in a very long time. Watching an old Triumph with such a rich history, come back to life was amazing to me! More importantly, you two guys never lost sight of the fact that Theo was always in the background. You didn't try to make the bike your own, you kept how it was as much as possible. The respect you showed for honoring Theo, and his history with the machine, told me much about how you guys are and your true character...good you both for being bigger than the human ego. I'm going to watch this a few more times, thank you for a fantastic story!

[@PeterDad60]

Those Triumph Vertical Twin engines are stout! I still have my (purchased new) 1976 T140V Bonneville 750. I street cafe raced her and she never once lost! She raced and won against every motorcycle on the streets of Long Island during 1977 till 1986 and then again in 1992. Getting 140 mph on your Triumph really is impressive. My 1976 could do 108 mph on an open straight, 110 mph if that road was going down hill a little bit an 112 mph if going down hill a little bit with a tail wind. She never saw more than 112 mph. In fact she did not get to top speed on the back roads ever during a cafe road race as there was no long straits, she won by doing mostly between 35 mpg and 90 mph. An honest 79 mph average was all she needed to win against any other motorcycle on the back street of Long Island as they could not even do that much as an average -over the road speed during a cafe race. I am talking about roads with curves, short straights, off camber curves, "S" curves and off camber "S curves and plenty of blind curves. I am not talking about Expressways/Super Highways or even Turnpikes. I'm talking about the back roads between the towns off Long Island. Where I lived and raced for 15 years with my Bonneville. Stock weight was 395lbs. I removed the seat cushion, all four turn signals indicators, replaced the stock handle bar with low-drag bars and removed the (2) @20 lb. mufflers. Got her down to about 365 lbs. I could duck under the wind at anything above 73 mph (when the wind would start flappin my eye lids) forcing me to pull my goggles down from off of my helmet. I used to tell my friends if you see me wearing my goggles that means I was just in a cafe race, otherwise I rode with my eyes and fave in the wind. Nothing ever hit my eyes or face either, except once a huge flying insect while riding interstate. The motor was strong enough, never blew up, would not blow up but the 4020/4030 (?) Chrome Molly chassis/frame made her so she would never wobble and on the back roads handling is what wins, even against 172 h.p. 1992 Kawasaki Fuel Injected KZ1100's amd Honda V4 Interceptor 1000cc machines, Laverda 750SFC , BMW, Yamaha. Suzuki....they all challenged and lost. That is what makes my Triumph Special. She never lost and never threw me off. She sit's 15 feet away, just outside my back window as I speak. I did all my own mechanical work, except one time I had a fella heli-arc a crack near one of the spark plugs. She never blew up and I revved her for all she was worth when we raced, 6500-6800 rpm when I looked, possible hit 7000 but there was never a need to rev her that high as it made no difference and even wasted time, better to shift when she stops climbing up the revs and just before she levels off at red-line. Valve float occurs at @6800 and the valves make a loud tingling sounds as they bounce back against the rocker arm. Time to shift when you start floating your valves. I could have installed stronger springs but I was proud of my machine in stock form. She even ran on the original Dunlap K-70H tires. No ngine mods, kept the air cleaners. Not mods other than to lower the seat height and bars and remove the unnecessary turn blinkers. I really appreciate your video. My Triumph changed my life. I still ride but these day's it's a newer 2015 FLHP Harley-Davidson Road King Police. My Triumph would never/could never abide another motorcycle putting a wheel ahead and as for me at age 69 I have nothing to prove. Sometimes I want to take her out and kick ass with her but we live in Alabama now and the back roads are nothing like the Long Island back roads which are exactly like those on The Isle of Mann TT. Those roads were fun and a challenge and yes the Engineer's did excellent work on designing them.

[@andrewbull3537]

Thanks for sharing ,take care

[@pauliebots]

Hey PeterDad60 I have a 650 1971t120rv AND I live on Long Island!! 10 years your junior and sharing the same enthusiasm as you. I dont have many seat hours and I just had the whole motor rebuilt by Hugh Mackie. She does handle well. The knucklehead I bought it from lowered it so much that now I constantly scrape the center stand. Gonna have to do something. What towns were you racing in? Center Moriches? Manorville?Baiting Hollow? There are some nice roads here. What were your favorites? Way too crowded though. You have to choose your times well. Good to hear about the good times and ass whooping you handed out with your triumph.

[@JamesCouch777]

I'm 69 and have owned Triumphs off and on over my whole life. I even had one of the new Bonnevilles but there is nothing like the vintage Triumphs. Currently I own five of them.

[@robertklein9190]

Roads in Long Island are nothing like the IOM, it's flat as a pancake. You have to ride in upstate NY. RT. 218, Rt.97 & 9W, along the Hudson or Delaware rivers to experience how well they handle. I had a stock 71 TR6, 5500 RPM was pushing it, tickle the carb and one kick was all it took to bring it to life.

[@ericweber1969]

This video was OUTSTANDING!!! Easily the best I've seen about racing at the Salt Flats. Thank you for telling this story.

[@craigpeters327]

Best hour I spent staring at a screen in quite some time, great story, great guys and runs... respect, time to ride...

Interesting movie & nice machine...but, I still prefer my Parisian ride: i.imgur.com/AfXQIQy.png Although mine can 'break the ton', it would fall short of this one's top end. But I WOULD be a crowd favorite !

[@johnjeromson3471]

Awesome film, please do a follow up when you go back. Sorry that theo passed before he saw it race again but you honoured his memory superbly. best of luck for the future.

[@TR5T]

Pull that apart , balance it, rewind the mag, use a 90 lb, girl to ride it and you'll be in the 140 range. What fun you guys had.

[@donaldpulliam9153]

Put Mark Martin on it😆 that dude that was riding was way too big

[@chucklaneChuckylane]

Neat! Did you guy's clean the sludge trap before running it? How long had it sat without being started? My Daytona has been sitting for a long while now & I'm terrified that if I were to just ride it, that it would be a huge mistake! So it's getting rebuilt now, and a small makeover, I bought a couple things from you guy's as a matter of fact, I'll be a returning customer no doubt. Cool video though as I said, I sort of skipped through this time but am going to watch in it's entirety when I've got more time, thank you for posting and good luck out on the salt this week, have fun!

[@RotorMedic7]

That was a GREAT video to watch!! But I want to add my 2 cents...Prior to running again...learn a bit from Burt Munro.. TEST, TEST,TEST! Get out on the highway, beach or back roads and work those bugs out! YOU KNOW the bike can do it. Get your ducks in a row BEFORE you hit the SALT. And when you BREAK that record, celebrate with a Tequila shot, with some Bonneville SALT on the brim! BEST OF LUCK!! CHEERS!

[@donaldpulliam9153]

And get a rider that is short, lightweight and has very little wind resistance, for example, Mark Martin

[@pauliebots]

Spontaneity, spice of life.

[@delukxy]

Well done guys, you did Theo proud. A soon as you mentioned the jet size I thought methanol/nitro but you say you are running 110? What does your class allow? If fuel, it looks as if you will have to "tip the can" next year. Needs a really good balance to reduce the vibration and allow more revs. May not need changes to gearing then. Exhaust pipe length looks arbitrary. i.e. they look to be standard without the standard silencers. Adjustment, even a few inches, might get you better extraction and help the revs at the top end. Are you allowed a "streamlined" front number plate? Would be useful. Good luck for next year

[@oldskoolonly]

What an awesome story! And it looks like the bike is in the right hands.. i wish I could smash the thumbs up button more than once!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Should have spent more time on the I.D. plate on the right side. And would have looked better if an adult had done the writings instead of a child.

[@robertbell4593]

Torque down to much

[@donaldpulliam9153]

Put a skilled rider on that bike, that isn't 6'4 and 180lbs and you got the record! Your rider's height and weight is adding too much poundage and wind resistance to set any land speed records, although as anyone can tell he is a very skilled rider, So....

[@kennymcquinkiss8292]

Great job guys. Just one little bit of constructive criticism, lower the volume of the music. The music is good but it's too loud I think all the people here want to hear the motor and not the music as much

[@keithhenson2684]

That was Fucking Awesome. I rode my bike to Bonneville last year just to watch the event. I learned you can ride in the run what you brought class. Going to try to go next year. We will see.

Sweet documentary. That bike is crazy cool, and it was a touching tribute to bring Bonneville to Theo. Very well done, all around!

[@powerglydeKlyde1120]

who were those sweet old ladies jazzed about going 178 in the quarter? lol i wanna know their story!

[@brustar5152]

Running nitro with a pressed fit crankshaft ..... that took some cajones. I roadraced a Triton in the early 70's built up from a 69 Bonny and loved that thing. My first Triumph was a 58 Trophy with compy mag, slick shift tranny, high pipes and Grasshopper tires that I put a lot of work into things like lightening the cam gears. that thing would climb the north hill of Calgary (before development) like a goat .Those old boys sure had fun and blazed many a trail for us other old boys.

[@mikehatch2114]

I worked at Joe Sarkee's motorcycles in Sacramento. Awesome bike. Non unit with a later top end. Prob over bored. You could get +60 pistons and sleeves at one time. Westlake or Wassel valve covers. The 410 jet is for fuel or alcohol. Drag pipes kill top end.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Theo was born the same year as my mom and 3 years after my dad. Who worked in our towns main employer at the time. A paper mill before shipping out to fight in WWII less than a year later. Probably a lot closer to 6 months.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Man, when the lads fired the Trumpy up for the first time and that Twin started to growl, spit and snarl ... the world went from B&W to Colour and I bet somewhere Theo had a big grin on his face ... WHAT a moment! Growing up in the 70's the Triumph was to Motorcycles what the Spitfire was to WW2 Aircraft ... the absolute sweetest and coolest Motorcycle going - love those bikes and even today the Bonnie is just one hell of a sickle!

Simple Green is great stuff for cleaning, but it's hell on aluminum. I would find something else to spray on my carbs for 'cooling' and 'fire retardant'.

Yep. Simple green causes Chemical Hydrogen Embrittlement. It is actually responsible for the crash of a US Army chinook on 10 october 1992 in Alaska. The maintenance personnel were using it to clean the helicopter and it ended up breaking apart mid flight.

[@jeremyhuston1]

Great video! Looking forward to the follow up. When your talking with Julian Dodi about Theo, at the 11:15 mark. He mentions that Theo was "a big tall fella" with black leathers. Then at the 51:20 mark, you mention that Tyler had developed a relationship with the bike. I believe your right. Tyler is a big tall fella as well, just like Theo. The bike was built for a taller rider like Tyler. Good luck, I have a feeling your knocking on the door of the record.
