Michael,what a brilliantly well conducted interview.I love to hear people talking about motorbikes in an intelligent way.Hard to see anyone other than Dean beating Peter.Good luck to every rider taking part this year.👍👍
This was a good watch. Cool to learn things about the track, also about fuel and strategy. Hickman is rocking out these interviews. Looking forward to the TT!! Finally!!!
Totally agree, he's now a complete natural in front of the camera! What a different way to spend his day, compared to the time when he was plastering for a living 👌
Thanks for making these incredibly fun videos. I'm a complete dilettante - don't ride a motorcycle, don't even have a driver's license, but motorbike racing and in particular road racing and the TT mesmerise me. Looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces do what they do best again - and looking forward to seeing Hickey do well ... dunno there's just something about that guy that makes me really like him :)
You forgot to mention Hutchy, you cant discount that man ever, his mental strength and gumption is of the scale, he has a good bike under him this year and I'm hoping he can do the business once more
You only really notice the irony of all this if you watch the last minute of the interview. He's said several times that the main goal is winning, not getting the highest average speed. If he could win with an average speed of 100mph, he would. That's clever. As he says, a lap record will be broken - but nobody can take a win away.
Peter is a super talent on a bike but also has other great assets in his chosen sport. He is very articulate. His whole manner is considered and precise. He is not Irish so I can understand him and many others no doubt. The Irish boys are great but how many could understand Joey. I like the way he thinks about the pace. The emphasis is on winning but at the pace of necessity and not balls out for no reason. Good luck and safe racing.
That was absolutely fascinating. Hicky's a top guy; a thoughtful individual; and - of course - an incredible road & track racer. I just hope Dunlop manage to sort out the (near-catastrophic) shambles that we witnessed at the NW200. Given that virtually everyone at the TT sharp-end will be using their rubber, it's absolutely vital that the riders have total confidence in their tyres. Fingers & toes crossed then eh?
I understand what Hicky means by being in the zone. Best feeling in the world. Nothing else matters. The bike is working well providing excellent feedback. The rider is feeling good. The road is offering good traction. Everything is smooth and flowing. It's just the rider, machine and road all rolled into one. I find it quite relaxing. Better than sex.
What ever your age I salute you if you have ever taken part you have balls of steel 👍 and for the women who have taken part I bow down.... Great to see it packed out and everyone enjoying it after a few un easy years rip to those who have been taken thoughts with families
The onboard video that Hicky did a few years ago on the BMW with cameras all over it pointing various ways was, for me, the best on board video I've ever seen, still, to this day. It was such a buzz just watching it, and was surely the closest video, done yet, that shows just how fast these super skilled riders are going. For people that have never been on a big 1000 cc super bike, it comes close to how it feels trying to hold on to one of these beasts, but even for people who have experienced modern super bikes, there's not many people who have the skills required to ride the TT course, safely, and to the level of these guys, although I'm sure many will claim to be just as fast, if not, faster, because there is always the vocal minority who have to belittle someone who is showing awesome talent. Can't wait for the racing to start, especially after the couple of years with no IOMTT. Stay safe everyone 🤞👌
I have ridden and driven all round the TT course apart from the nook many many times and always amazed how these current heros do it in sub 17 minutes!
I watched Joey Dunlop from Balacraine a few time and was very impressed how smooth he handled that difficult section.Having said that Peter is a very worthy successor to The great Joey!
I wonder how many gear changes in a whole lap These guys must know every inch of the tarmac Every camber Ever kerb and dust / grit pools Amazing let’s see the lap times Good luck Stay safe ✌🏼
The amount of issues with the new bikes that have been reported at the NW200 will have to be a factor. That and weather will both play a huge role in who wins & why.
Need to improve at greeba???!!!….you are kidding!! You look sooo fast there, smooth, and iv no idea how you bank over and still lift the front wheel still leaned over!! (Greeba Marshall)
Ahhhh absolutely gutted. I got grandstand tickets and can’t go to it because I got hit side on by a stupid old man and snapped my patella and tibia bone 😒
That's not fair, after being away for two years, but you are still with us , so sit back and heel well and strong and you be back on your bike in no time ready for next year best wishes sent to you❤️🦂
@@bennettsbikesocial I was privileged enough to be there to see it and if the record goes again this year, I'll be privileged to be there to see it again. Good luck to all the riders and stay safe 🤞🙏🇮🇲🏍🏁
Burton is that car being remotely driven, or automatically….you are not paying attention. I get it, your in a rear seat ! Brakes, brakes ? In this race ? Amazing ! At only 70 mph across the desert, there is little time, if any to let your mind wonder. Here at 170, impossible ! Jus sayin.
Lap record will be broken as electronic cheating becomes more dominant. All electronic rider “aids” should be removed in all forms of racing as racing is SUPPOSED to be Rider & Motorcycle. Of course those Obsessed with the Illusion of “safety” will whine & mewl over such a statement but 🤣 Great interview and I hope this style of information seeking straight from the Riders continues.
I think it's awesome that you guys are doing these isle of man tt videos that are longer than 10 minutes
Cheers! Another one, or maybe two next week!
Yeah. Too right
Absolute legend and lovely bloke. Have a great TT.

He’s a good lad Peter, hope he does well.
Smart lad Peter. I hope he does well and rides safe including all the guys competing
Thank you for this interview. Looking forward to 2022.
Thanks Peter for being a good sport and explaining everything
Hicky's always informative and interesting. Patient with interviewers too !

You might not ride or drive but you’re the best kind of fan’
What a legend!!! and Yes! I believe Pete will break the record, if anyone can he def can!!! Loved the chat, thank you and pls keep them coming!

Clever and very technical Peter Ride safe everyone
Great Guy Hicky watched him race at Oulton in bsb Awesome he should defo break record 🏍👍👍👍
Great video,awesome insights into Peters Mindset👍👍
Love Pete !! 🙌🙌🙌 I’m excited to watch
Great interview Bennett’s, bravo. Your the man this year hicky lad, good luck sir👍👏🙏
If anyone can......Hickman will do it. He's mentally prepared and knows HE CAN break the record, should be fun to watch.
Yep if the weather is good I think the bikes being better He and Dean Harrison 135 no problem great tt coverage
Peter all the best for the TT go get them.
Mr Burton Superb 28 minutes keep these coming please. Job Well done.
If any one can Peter Hickman can, as fastest newcomer a few years back he has the history to pull this off, best of British Pete.

Would love see him and M.D. on even machinery
Thanks Michael great video and its great to finally see an interviewer who is nearer my age and shape .
Thanks, 2 wheels r best! Daren't say exactly how old I am, but it's a number between 27 and 29...

If the weather spot on & plenty of rubber down, could be a possibility the record goes by who , who knows.
its gotta be right ,the mind set the bike the team and the weather......

Praying all the guy's and gall's get back safe.
Big respect to Mr Hickman and company, can't wait.
Very informative to listen to the quickest road racer in the world
Best sports interview I've ever seen.
Thanks for the kind words, Gordon!
I wonder how many gear changes in a whole lap
These guys must know every inch of the tarmac
Every camber
Ever kerb and dust / grit pools
Amazing let’s see the lap times
Good luck
Stay safe ✌🏼
Great content guys
Great inertview, stay safe guys
Hi , Is there a video to explain the different races it sounds like there are 3/4 different and on different size bikes?
cant wait see u there
The amount of issues with the new bikes that have been reported at the NW200 will have to be a factor. That and weather will both play a huge role in who wins & why.
We he survive it is the question !
Don't know about smashing lap records but he's good at smashing M3s.
Big Lol, sure it wasn’t him it was the mechanics lol
I there a app i can download on smart tv to watch live tt this year?
Loved it thanks
Of course he can do it 😉 !!!!!
No mate I'm fast as fook through here🤣🤣Love it🤜
I hope Peter does well after three years but remember Mike Hailwood came back in 78/9 and cleaned up after a much longer lay off.
miss the TT. greatest race on earth
My mates went to the TT in 2018. One of them says he took his jacket off. Small world eh
Need to improve at greeba???!!!….you are kidding!! You look sooo fast there, smooth, and iv no idea how you bank over and still lift the front wheel still leaned over!! (Greeba Marshall)
Doubtful that records will go this year with them not being there for a couple of years.
Hi guys, don't think about smashing a lap record, every winner IS an E.T. whatever the clock. Moreover, every finisher IS a great pilot.
Nothing for nothing, but, the delay of the TT over the last few years is NOT unprecedented. It was delayed during both world wars.
Oh the irony,😄 the man who can crack 135 average, sitting in the back seat wearing a seatbelt at 40 mph
It's just a pity that the interviewer wasn't, bad example.
Ahhhh absolutely gutted. I got grandstand tickets and can’t go to it because I got hit side on by a stupid old man and snapped my patella and tibia bone 😒
That's a shame! Heal well and hopefully you'll be able to make it to TT 2023? At least you can catch all the action LIVE this year!
That's not fair, after being away for two years, but you are still with us , so sit back and heel well and strong and you be back on your bike in no time ready for next year best wishes sent to you❤️🦂
No mate, im fast as fuck everywhere!
He might not need to. The object is to win at the slowest possible speed.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think 140 lap xx
Who holds the lap record ?
Peter Hickman at an average speed of 135.452mph set on the 6th lap of 6 in the Senior TT race in 2018

Racing this circuit is almost unthinkable...racing with the expectations of "Winning"....pffff!

Move to honda
I would imagine Honda will have tried to get Hicky to ride for them!
Really not much on charisma this athlete ! I wonder if Pete dropped him back off outside a school
Boring!
