it's june 28th, 1998, legendary show stopper ron cook is to break the 200-mile-an-hour land speed motorcyclefornia. >> ron is the number-one bike. we knew he was going to give us a good number. he was going to go fast. >> reporter: videographer mark brazzo is at the starting line, there to catch what he thinks will be another history-making speed. he's smashed several records and rarely disappoints. >> i'm seen ron race before. he's very fast on a bike. his book is 200 miles an hour. kawasaki has a nitrous bottle on it. this thing is a market. >> mark watches as ron shoots down the path. disappearing into a cloud of dust. it's only later he learns what happens next. ron moves up to fourth gear and hits the nitrous boost button. gaining enough horsepower to hit top speed. he's blasting at 175 miles per hour when his front wheel begins to wobble. ron struggles to regain control, but it's a losing battle. he makes a split second decision to abandon the bike, but as this terrifying video shows, ron doesn't fall from the bike, his right leg is caught under the seat, pulling him at almost 200 mile
