Salt Ghost


"In the 1960s and 1970s, legions of speed freaks blasted down the drag strips and dry lakes of Southern California. 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. 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.Watch as the Nitro Express is brought back to where it all began, to the dry and hot Bonneville Salt Flats where legends are born in blood, sweat and gears!"
