I would start small and with short recordings of motorcycles. I would reward remaining calm or non-reactive and once they can do it at the recorded sound, move to outdoors and at a distance. See if over time and repetition you can move closer and then even move to the sound for extended periods.
I would also experiment with the reward. If they are play motivated that might be an even stronger reward than food.

I watched the video and just curious as to how this would pertain to a fearful dog with motorcycle sounds? Rev the bike and give a treat, rev the bike and give a treat? I'm having a hard time understanding how one could treat a motorcycle noise in the back yard.
On the other hand I do see treating a dog after they have ran through a bin of empty loud bottles but the backyard seems different. Hopefully the trainer can get creative and figure out a way.
