My 2011 Ariel Atom is the wildest car in my fleet but it's been broken for months. I took the engine up to PFI Speed in Colorado to get rebuilt and ready to make way more horsepower. Before the build the K20 Honda engine was making 475hp, we're going to turn it up way more than that. Kyle and I left Wichita at 3AM, made it to PFI Speed around 12PM, and now we're going to put this monster back together!

Common Questions:
What motorcycle do I ride? A few. Ducati 1198, Honda Goldwing, Honda Grom, Honda Ruckus
What do I do for a living? Make RU-vid videos.
Can you wheelie? No, I suck.

Where can I keep up with you off the bike?
Instagram: WatchJRGo
Facebook: WatchJRGo (or JRGo, FB hates my branding)
Do you go to school? College, for 2 classes.
Why do you ride so dangerously? What do mean? I was doing 25.
Do you go to the track? Of course, hopefully there will be videos in the future.
Do you play video games? No, but I might stream N64 Goldeneye at some point. Twitch: WatchJRGo
Are you afraid the police will watch your videos and arrest you? Something something evidence something something warrants and due process of law

It was great to see PFI and WatchJRGo work together. Definitely on the same page when it comes to content. FYI. All hard engine start videos are fabricated. All of them started fine the first time, but then things were removed to add a little more content to the anti climatic start. They just don't do it for Honda engines to keep the mystic of how easy Honda's are to get running.

5:10 Kyle, since the Ariel Atom is made in the UK, they have Meccano, not Erector Sets. I learned this while watching James May, from Top Gear. Here is an example of his Meccano Motorcycle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GTpAsYe2kFM.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meccano

A little tip next time the engine is out weld 2 chassis tubes on it if you look at a 3.5 r chassis you will see where they go from the top of the top rail to the top of the upright on the bottom rail that window screen mount front comes of and you can see all the wireing under the dash

I'm thinking you're going to need some slightly wider rear tires. The power to weight ratio is in Suzuki Hayabusa territory or possibly better. I can't even imagine how fast that will be and I had a motorcycle with 200 horsepower that only weighed 500 pounds +or- and it was *INSANE* .
