Join us in the speed shop of Top Fuel Motorcycle world record holder and 20-time drag racing champion Larry “Spiderman” McBride as he shows us how he and his brother make Top Fuel Nitro Bikes, shows us the latest builds in all different stages and gives us a detailed look at the world’s quickest drag bike (5.50, 265 mph) known as “Star.” We take a walk around the shop a d catch Steve McBride in action, machining motorcycle parts by hand. We give you a look at the raw materials, the machining process and the finished project. McBride shows us the new builds for Athol Williams of New Zealand, just a bare frame at the moment, Dave Vantine’s “Yellow Bullet 2” build in progress, the completed show quality build of Jimmy “The Hulk” Brantley”, and we even get a look at the first motorcycle to run a 5-second elapsed time, “Blue” that suffered a Top Fuel explosion in 2015, but will be rebuilt. Enjoy this inside look into the shop of Larry “Spiderman” McBride.

Video editing needs some work. Volume is a mess. One minute you can't hear what Larry is saying. Next its extremely loud and I'm grabbing for the remote to turn the volume down.

There's very few guys like Larry anymore. We relate on so many different levels of doing it right taking our time and making sure it's exactly what a customer wants. Thank you guys so much for producing this video and sharing it with us my wife and I enjoyed it and was hoping the video would be a little bit longer it went so well. Please keep us updated we look forward to seeing more stuff in the future!

Can u use the same frames for Harley's as others or are they heavier than Japanese. It's just gonna be a hobby for nothing national. I just wish to know what it is like . Not shooting for records. Just like building cars n chopper from nothing but always wanted nitro top fuel. And someone said you have to build your own to know.

This right here shows why Larry and his crew have the excitement and appreciation at the track after every run..... They use only the best stuff and building the stuff by hand probably 90% of it is a big reason why they have the success they do and keep this part of Top Fuel bike racing going for everybody involved in it
