Ari Henning and Zack Courts have always wanted to go to the Isle of Man for the famous TT road race, but it takes world-class skill and nerve to compete on public roads at nearly 200 mph. Sadly, that means the boys don’t qualify.

Find out how, on this episode of Throttle Out!
Zack Courts and Ari Henning are off to Idaho, where winter weather ruins motorcycle trails every year and it’s up to State Trail Rangers to fix the damage.

It’s a bike! It’s a boat! It’s a Boatorcycle! This time around on Throttle Out, the boys set out to build a two-wheeler that can ride on land and water. But building it is just half the battle. The real test will be attempting to sail their new vessel to a deserted island in the middle of a lake, showing the world that there’s a new king of the water.
The boys acquire a half-finished, three-wheeler project off Craigslist and attempt to turn it into a competition-worthy machine for the annual Halloween Hillclimb event in Southern California.

Find out on this episode of Throttle Out.
