Garrett is aiming for 320kmh.
If he is successful, he will enter the record books again.
In 2005 Garrett and Flying Kiwi team mate Glenn Hayward broke the world and New Zealand land speed records for 1000cc sidecars over a flying kilometre.
A speed of 272kmh was recorded on a section of another Mid Canterbury rural road near Pendarves.
Garrett said his upcoming record attempt had been a long time in the making and followed a 2008 visit to the Bonneville Salt Flats, in Utah in the United States.
"If you travel over 200mph [322kmh] on the Bonneville Salt Flats they award you a red hat, an exclusive club membership coveted by many and achieved by few."
The Englishman, who has lived in Christchurch for more than 20 years, said there was unfinished business from 2005; he was keen to see another record broken.
Two turbo bikes — one ridden by Garrett, and another by Rob Small, formerly of Ashburton — would be ridden in the attempt to break the land speed record.
The bikes had been pretty much built from scratch.
One featured some input from local engineers and had planetary gears fitted inside its rear wheel, and also parts from a BMW gearbox which gave it 50% overdrive.
The other was a 1985 750 Turbo Kawasaki that was heavily modified and now produced about 186kw at the rear wheel.
Attempts to get to Bonneville with the bikes had been thwarted over the last few years by logistics, strikes and bad weather, Garrett said.
"We decided to change the target and to attempt the outright motorcycle land speed record for New Zealand instead.
"The fastest anyone has gone officially here is Johnny Hepburn, from Timaru, who went 307kmh on a Britten in 2000," he said.
Garrett had once again chosen a long, straight Mid Canterbury back road for his attempt and had applied for all the necessary permits and approvals.
In 2005 he compiled 25 pages of logistical and health and safety material to support his attempt — this time that had increased to a hefty 60 pages.
He had also once again received strong support from the local community, including the Ashburton Car Club, the Ashburton Motorcycle Club and local enthusiast Brendan Price.
Garrett said he would host a meeting at the Pendarves Hall in the coming weeks to thank the community for its support and explain what he was aiming to achieve. He did the same thing 15 years ago, and also visited Chertsey School.
"I realise this attempt is a privilege for me and not a right. I am very grateful for the opportunity and the tremendous support I’ve been given, including from local landowners."
The attempt will be filmed by a drone and Garrett’s supporters will be there to cheer him on.
There will be other teams aiming to break class records and Garrett himself will also ride a home-built electric motorbike created by fellow motorcycle builder Sytse Tacoma that he hopes to take to over 160kmh and into the record books.
