    The camera shots of the TT are superb. But to go there and watch it Live is unbelievable. I went first in 1962. The hairs on the back of my neck still go up waiting for the first riders through.

      I lived there as a kid. Island population doubled for 2 weeks of the year. The streets full of leather clad people and Manx radio switched from Madonna to Motorhead. I remember as a kid when the bikes went past the noise so loud it actually resonated in my gut so every time one flew by i got that sickly just got punched in the stomach feeling. To this day that smell of two stroke motor oil gets my heart thumping and goosebumps all over.

    • @ltr4300
      @ltr4300 6 лет назад +7

      Yup...very few probably appreciated the physics of that save and what he did (and as importantly didn't do) that saved it. He knew what had to happen and was making a proper recovery before the bike even had a chance to go into full oscillation. Right down to that left leg being used as a damping mass, he correctly disconnected himself from the bike and kept his control inputs neutral, allowing the bike to essentially "find its balance" again without the meatsack's mass and resonance interfering. There's a great lesson there. I've used this method before to dampen and ride through a steering head shake but obviously not with God-level skill like this guy. Amazing. You clamp down on the bike, you're done. Blast the brakes? Done. Try to wrestle the shake? Done. Snap the throttle closed? Done. At that level there is only ONE set of correct actions and you'd better be doing them immediately.

      only way to straighten out the weave is to let it pull out, or make it worse doing something other than super gradual that revs/engine, gearing and rubber can do (plus some electronics) - if he/you hesitate on that sort of situation, game over, no restart, no redo, no more chances.

    I'm not even within a hundredth of a percent of the skills of these guys, but I I've had most of my saves on dirt and pavement just staying loose. Let things flop around a little, roll of the throttle but not completely into engine breaking, reduce the lean angle a little, and just kind of maintain the status quo. You will probably run off your race line, but it will probably settle out and keep you upright.
