@@therickpoundthe rules are the same every day. In speed restricted zone stick to the limit elsewhere you go as fast as you feel safe. If that's a hundred and silly fine.
I remember when I first went to the IOM, I got off the ferry and struggled for signal. There was a police officer in a car and I asked him if he knew where Nick Crowe lived because he had my stuff. The officer said “of course, follow me”. So I did. Where it was 30, we went 30, where it was 40, we went 40 etc etc. then came the national speed limit… the back of his car dipped down and I was like “wtf do I do”. So I decided to gamble and chase him. 90, 95, 100, 105, 110 and I was thinking “he’s just baited the shit out of me”. We got outside Nicks house and he went “there you go mate, ride safe!” So I asked him basically what the fuck was that about (lol) and then he explained that there’s no speed limit when it’s a national speed limit but he was very stern in that every other speed limit must be obeyed. Lovely police officers out there, they are a different breed and no doubt DONT have to put up with the shit like some do over in the main land. Ride on fellas
Oh they still have to put up with some crap! Not long after we moved here in 2021 a cop was stabbed by someone over drugs 🤦🏼♀️ they’re a great bunch the IoM police 9/10 though!
How it was put to me by a friendly bobby was like this "THE GOVERNMENT GIVE YOU THE MOUNTAIN TO PLAY ON SO GO AND PLAY AS SAFE AS YOU CAN BUT IF YOU CROSS US IN THE VILLAGES OR THE TOWN THEN WE WILL KICK YOUR ASS HARDER THAN YOU HAVE EVER BEEN KICKED BEFORE " Meaning dont mess with us when it counts !!!!! How fair is that VERY VERY VERY FAIR ME THINKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re not the only one, I was parked up behind the Sulby Glen hotel and a local copper came up and started looking at my car, asking if I’d ‘opened her up yet’ then advised giving it the beans over the mountain when the roads reopened, he then wandered off. His car was a blue Focus ST parked next to me. So I headed in to Ramsey for some fish and chips when the racing had ended and didn’t think any more of it. Headed over the mountain about two hours later back to my digs in Foxdale and I’m doing 60/70 in the pitch black somewhere around Snaefell, and I see blue HID headlights coming up FAST behind me, next thing this blue Focus goes past me like I’m stood still, disappears round a left hand bend and I never saw him again! Manx coppers are a different breed because they can have a laugh with you, but command total respect cos they dont take any messing. Just how it should be. 👌🏻
Raced on the IOM in 1987 at the Manx GP tried to get four laps out of a tank of fuel in practice and got as far as Brandish.... The copper drained his petrol tank to make sure I could ride the bike back to the pits as he didn't want my wife worrying... true gents

I've done 170 on the mountain and two years later was put in a wheelchair at 60mph by a careless car driver. right bike, right conditions and 170 is fine. wrong bike or wrong conditions and 60 is nearly fatal. so not ridiculous at all.
Was over there many years ago. Ferrari 308. About 100 bikes following. I kid you not. Would have loved to see and hear!! Us all go past. Going like feck in the open. Got to a 30 mph village. We thought,what do we do now? So we broke it down to 30 , from a good 140.trundled through careful. No one passed. Then we all set off again after village. Good mentality. Good respect. Good fun. Good island. Long may it last. Good riding kindred spirits.
been to the island quite a few times ,when i went with my son i would stop in Ramsey and he would have a blast over the mountain and we would meet at the srart and finish . he didnt like me to say be carefull as it would spoil his ride . he had a Kawasaki zx9 . i am now 74 and ride scooters as my legs play up .he is 50 .my wife is 72 this month and ride locally together . that was a neat ride by the way .well done .keep safe .
Riding that mountain is the only time I'm not thinking about anything else , just love doing it. Completely understand why he didn't want you to say be careful. I'm 51 now and have been riding the mountain for 20 years , still learning it 🤣
I went with my son for a week in 2015 and we rode the TT route a few times. Our best lap record was 36 MPH. Mind you, to put that into context, I've only been riding bikes for about fifty years. At one point, we got stuck behind a baling machine and our helmets filled up with straw dust, making it difficult to breathe. Heady days....
Good lines are only good if no one else gets in your way. A quick glance in your mirror before pulling out may not be enough to see another rider is coming up behind you at over 100mph faster than your own speed. I've only ridden the mountain when it's 2 way traffic and the visibility is mostly good for significant distances but you just can't predict the actions of other motorists. At least they don't have Herdwick sheep like the mainland.
Never been to the Isle of Man , it was always a dream of my best mate and myself to take our bikes there and do the Mad ride. Sadly he passed away from cancer, as for me I gave up riding after breaking my pelvis, not from riding motorbikes but being kicked by a horse. This video brings back memories of my riding days with my mates and it was Fast & Furious, you both were smooth riding the bikes and loved the sound👀👍

That's brought back memories of the MGP in 1990 when me and a mate had a bit of a "cat and mouse" run with the Police from Kirk Michael all the way over the mountain to Douglas. Back then much of the course outside the towns was still unrestricted. Obviously we adhered strictly to the limits where posted but were able to get away from the Police car (Sierra Cosworth) in the unlimited sections until they caught us up at the next town. 😂 We did lose them completely over the mountain however. We stopped at the pit wall and thought "oh sh*t" as the Police car approached some minutes later and pulled in behind us. Needless to say we were absolutely gobsmacked when the police came over and complemented us on our "safe and courteous" riding!! We've not been back to the Island since 2000 but I believe only the mountain road is still unrestricted.
The police on iom are ok,over tt you can't be done for speeding on mountain section,BUT can be for reckless/dangerous riding/driving!there are a few roads where national speed limit is(no speed restriction)but obviously two way!!not been since 2000,time to save up for next year!!ride safe!👍
The IOM is so very different to here in the UK. The cops know that the Ducati and the R1 doing the filming are capable of much higher speeds than they were doing and their riding looked fine on what I'm assuming was 'Mad Sunday' . Lovely soundtrack from that R1 Cross Plane engine.
Mad Sunday isn't a thing nowadays. You can ride the course any time when not closed for racing. The Mountain section is one way and still unrestricted. The Sunday is now the home of the Memorial lap for the fallen riders.
I have been traveling to the Isle of Man on and off since 1963. One of first things I noticed right from the ferry terminal was that appeared to be there to help. But especially during the TT fortnight there is a very good chance you will get nicked if you going too quick were there is a speed limit.
But one bad apple spoils the bunch. Mercine is what makes an apple go bad and when you store a rotten apple with good apples, that one rotten apple will turn all bad. But I agree not all cops are bad, but still, the face they all protect each other and their incompetence is frightening.
I dared to open my new to me BMW R1100RS 94' version wide open on a straight and clear section of the interstate yesterday just to see what the top end was, seems to hit a limiter at 130. It seemed to have much more, too bad about the limiter. That's as daring as my 66 year old self will ever get. Your skills are truly impressive.
Let’s be honest, I’m sure it would of been a different story if the old bill actually knew they were doing 170mph the other side of the bend 😆 nice vid 👏🏼 Hope you done 180mph on the way back 😁

At the tt around 15 years ago I was in Douglas got talking to a Manx Bobby on a police bike and he said he was off to Ramsey I asked if I could lead and see if he could pick up any nasty habits on the way to Ramsey he followed me to Ramsey we had a cup off tea he pointed out a few things I had to polish up on really nice guy he then said he was back to Douglas so I asked could I follow him he just smirked and said if you think you can ! He was on a honda pan I was on a fireplace I couldn't get near him he could ride that bike .I really nice man
Manx Police are the Best .. I Go a few times a Year to see my m8 who lives on the Island. I obviously take my Bike over for some Goose Neck to Creg Runs in the week when the TT isnt on. What I've noticed. If your being Reckless and fast. You will get pulled over. If your being Quick and safe you'll be ok.. The Police do notice the difference.. Hats off to the Manx Police, which can be a tough job on the Mountain. They must see allsorts of Horrible stuff. Stay Safe guys ... 👍👍
Just saying the Police on the island have a lot of help from the Liverpool police for the TT and the Manx. One stopped me approaching Kirkmichael as i had wandered over the 40mph limit on my Street triple. I asked if as an old lady if i could have it in writing i'd broken the speed limit on the mountain course for posterity. He replied he could but it would cost me a lot of money so i declined and made do with a mock finger wagging as some big arse big bike riders went past. Very nice bloke made my day .
I was there this year and managed a couple of blasts up the mountain, not that fast mind (my Street Triple cant go that fast and i run out of talent much earlier). Much better now they have it one way for the entire 2 weeks of TT, stops the carnage of Mad Sunday. ride safe lads.
My dad told me a story about the iom he’s been loads he went many years ago when Mike hailwood returned he went out on the mad Sunday and ran off the road into a ditch … the police pulled up along side and asked if he was okay fortunately he was fine then asked if he was able to get his bike out the ditch to which he responded he could they then said “alright pal have a nice day” and they went on with their day …
Am I the only one who thinks that they shouldnt hit blind corners at those speeds? Dont get me wrong, this is some truly impressive riding, but especially the few turns at 2:50 make me sceptical of wether you could stop in time if there was traffic. Nonetheless, as I said, great riding. Greetings from Germany.
@Juxze its one way so nothing is coming , doesnt really.show on camera but im looking half a mile ahead at some points so i see other vehicles and how fast they are going , so I have a pretty good idea of where and when they will be when i catch them. Have ridden that section of the course around 750 times in the last 20 years , so I know it pretty well :-) Still has its dangers but thats why I ride
Knew right from the start that it was gonna be a wind-up 😁 Once you hit the National Speed Limit it's game on (as long as you're sensible of course). I was over there in my Sierra Cosworth in the 90s and giving it some over the top of the TT course and I got a thumbs-up from a police officer travelling in the opposite direction 👍😄 Your instinct at first is to back off, but it's good when you know you're legal.
This reminds me of all the times I went to the TT. I would get up in the morning at silly a clock to do a lap of the TT and there would be no one else about. One the benefits of being a teetoaller I guess. However even with nothing about and a lack of your skill sets I settled for just enjoying the view. The only benefit I got for my efforts were that I actually got a complete lap in unlike many others. I managed this because I would drive through the cones at Governors Dip to complete the lap.
Got some talent, probably better if they entered the TT where everyone accepts the risks and has the skills. Passing less skilled road users at that speed could result in a nasty smash. Impressive though. I remember getting a shock when a full on raving sidecar outfit flashed past me - well underneath me-at well over 150mph during a ride around.
Love the camera action , bikes sound great. Last time i was there, i was nailing it out of quarry bends and onto sulby straight, suddenly realised tha its 30mph at the pub. Anchored up fast and a copper pulled me in , all he said was brake a litte earlier, i thought i was going to get locked up. Totally different than ours onbthe main land. Chevked my clocks and it showed 167mph the stupidest grin came across my ugly mug .
I seriously question the 170mph element of the title (road markings and scenery were not going past fast enough), but nice little bimble across the mountain.
187mph never again...well until next time. But it was 25 years ago. My deep pocket friend has a new Kawi H2r that hits 224 in the 1/4 mile and 246 at Road America Elkhart back straight. This boggles my mind that you can get a 300+HP "stock" motorcycle that can be easily tuned to 450HP on methanol. Right off the showroom floor...Pay as you go.
Fantastically smooth, almost no camera shake. Rider No2 took some blind corners when trying to keep up with bike 1. hope his eyeline was higher than the camera & he could actually see.
Thanks we try to be smooth , not really blind corners as it is one way. I always hang back from whoever I'm with as I don't like following people too closely :-)
For TT fortnight, the Mountain might as well be a race track. There can't be a man, woman, or dog on the Island who doesn't know the score. Whilst the riding in this video was fast, it was also smooth, respectful and legal.
I'm from California and I'm confused. Was that a checkpoint? What's the speed limit? Are all police friendly like that from Isle Of Man? Nice riding btw. It looked very smooth and controlled
The TT mountain road is one way and no speed limits in certain points only for the duration of the TT tho, the cones are to say slow down please 😅 and a crash probably happened further up on the mountain when the 2 bikers got stopped, the public crash a lot! Sad! But it happens 😐 they all think they’re racers
Mountain was shut because of an accident, police pulled us over to have a joke about our t-shirts. Isle of man police are the best in the world , firm but fair and up for a laugh. We do try to ride fairly fast but try to be smooth and kind of considerate to other road users 😉
I got caught in a speed trap on way into Kirk Michael back in 97 doing 35 entering a 30 cop hiding behind a bush with a gun. Couldn't believe his attitude, no way to treat fellow bikers and life blood, haven't been back since.
Manx police are awesome. I got pulled over for doing the same thing ,bike was as close to top gear rev limiter as it had ever been and we got flagged to pull over. We pulled over the police stayed sat in their car, after 10 mins the police waved us off without saying anything. They literally just put us at the back of the queue and shock their heads.
Hey you're the guys who always overtake my when I'm out on my bike! lol. It looked like you were riding fast but not dangerously so good luck to you. Have fun and stay safe. :>)
Obey the rules, ride within your limits, don’t be reckless and wear the gear. They’ll have no issue with you & you’ll live to tell your mates what a great time you had in the IOM
The race is already very dangerous when its empty but to do it outside the race days when there could be cars coming from the opposing lane is next level
To all the ideo saying 170kph not mph my rc390 can just do 170kph and i tell you what my 170 is nothing that that 170 that is definitely 170mph NOT KPH
Joe, had a similar thing going to brands once, police motorcyclist came alongside said where you going we said Brands he said come on then three of us chased him up to the next speed limit, waved us off.
Been to the IOM twice now. Every time i come home i feel like the UK Gov and Police need to take onboard the IOMs doings. IOM Police, i feel protected and they are fair, UK however, i feel dangered and targeted.
That's how the relationship with police looks like in civilized world 👏
Part of a community. If they weren't, if they didn't speak the language etc we'd never have seen this vid lols
That's because they don't carry guns , that gun gives you an entirely different level of power in your mind ,

The police on iom are ok,over tt you can't be done for speeding on mountain section,BUT can be for reckless/dangerous riding/driving!there are a few roads where national speed limit is(no speed restriction)but obviously two way!!not been since 2000,time to save up for next year!!ride safe!👍
@@TheWoodzyttiom so true and we only need to put a little work in to find them
The IOM is so very different to here in the UK. The cops know that the Ducati and the R1 doing the filming are capable of much higher speeds than they were doing and their riding looked fine on what I'm assuming was 'Mad Sunday' . Lovely soundtrack from that R1 Cross Plane engine.
Mad Sunday isn't a thing nowadays. You can ride the course any time when not closed for racing. The Mountain section is one way and still unrestricted. The Sunday is now the home of the Memorial lap for the fallen riders.
I have been traveling to the Isle of Man on and off since 1963. One of first things I noticed right from the ferry terminal was that appeared to be there to help. But especially during the TT fortnight there is a very good chance you will get nicked if you going too quick were there is a speed limit.
People with power in their hands to ruin your day easily but they stood real human with great sense of humor.. Those guys are the greatest!
Bike sounds great. Was great to see you both over the mountain a few times 👌🏻
Best place on earth , managed approx 60 runs over this year. Hope you enjoyed the noise 🤣
Met a lot of good cops in my time. Some even saved me from getting stabbed.. 🔪😳
Not all of the boys and girls in blue are bad. ;)
But one bad apple spoils the bunch.
Mercine is what makes an apple go bad and when you store a rotten apple with good apples, that one rotten apple will turn all bad.
But I agree not all cops are bad, but still, the face they all protect each other and their incompetence is frightening.
@@ConfectioneryCorner You've clearly got a problem with the Police. I wonder if your past behaviour might be the reason.
The guy on the red bike can certainly ride, he should do the TT if he hasn't already. Decent cops unlike the muppets here.
You do realise ... you can't just do the TT, just like you can't just do motoGP or formula one
I dared to open my new to me BMW R1100RS 94' version wide open on a straight and clear section of the interstate yesterday just to see what the top end was, seems to hit a limiter at 130. It seemed to have much more, too bad about the limiter. That's as daring as my 66 year old self will ever get. Your skills are truly impressive.
We all ride to our own limits , doesn't mean we don't don't all love it exactly the same. 😀
take up club short circuit racing. You haven't got to be Valentino Rossi! And your not too old.
A proper Police interaction, as it should be.
Let’s be honest, I’m sure it would of been a different story if the old bill actually knew they were doing 170mph the other side of the bend 😆 nice vid 👏🏼 Hope you done 180mph on the way back 😁
Looked pretty damn rapid to me! Wow guys stay safe that’s definitely got my blood pumping love the sound of the Big Bang R1’s 😎
Bloody great bit of riding,, Ducatis getting a great day out,, really enjoyed watching this video 😊☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
Derek's Ducati is very fast!!! Need to raise my game to keep up 😀 now you Northern Ireland boys know all there is to know about road riding!
Guys, Here is our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
That’s what I call a good ride. No undue risk taking, plenty of room given to others and always in control
At the tt around 15 years ago I was in Douglas got talking to a Manx Bobby on a police bike and he said he was off to Ramsey I asked if I could lead and see if he could pick up any nasty habits on the way to Ramsey he followed me to Ramsey we had a cup off tea he pointed out a few things I had to polish up on really nice guy he then said he was back to Douglas so I asked could I follow him he just smirked and said if you think you can ! He was on a honda pan I was on a fireplace I couldn't get near him he could ride that bike .I really nice man
Confirmation of the belief that pretty much everyone on the Island is an enthusiast and has more than a few hot laps under their belts!
Can be hard getting an old fireplace around the island 😂😂😂😂😂
God bless them for keeping us all in check and safe.
To be fair, he looked like he knew what he was doing. Lift is at it's best until your right on the edge.
Manx Police are the Best ..
I Go a few times a Year to see my m8 who lives on the Island. I obviously take my Bike over for some Goose Neck to Creg Runs in the week when the TT isnt on.
What I've noticed. If your being Reckless and fast. You will get pulled over. If your being Quick and safe you'll be ok.. The Police do notice the difference.. Hats off to the Manx Police, which can be a tough job on the Mountain. They must see allsorts of Horrible stuff.
Stay Safe guys ... 👍👍
Just saying the Police on the island have a lot of help from the Liverpool police for the TT and the Manx. One stopped me approaching Kirkmichael as i had wandered over the 40mph limit on my Street triple. I asked if as an old lady if i could have it in writing i'd broken the speed limit on the mountain course for posterity. He replied he could but it would cost me a lot of money so i declined and made do with a mock finger wagging as some big arse big bike riders went past. Very nice bloke made my day .
You weren’t ‘pulled over’ you hit a closed section of the Mountain at the Bugalow!.
Nice lines!
nice to see the cops with sence of humour .
I was there this year and managed a couple of blasts up the mountain, not that fast mind (my Street Triple cant go that fast and i run out of talent much earlier). Much better now they have it one way for the entire 2 weeks of TT, stops the carnage of Mad Sunday. ride safe lads.
Camera guy is on either an R1 or an MT10, I'd recognise that growl anywhere.
R1 :-)
@@TTFluffers I've got the mt10. So this is the soundtrack of my life, the engine is the best bit of the bike.
My dad told me a story about the iom he’s been loads he went many years ago when Mike hailwood returned he went out on the mad Sunday and ran off the road into a ditch … the police pulled up along side and asked if he was okay fortunately he was fine then asked if he was able to get his bike out the ditch to which he responded he could they then said “alright pal have a nice day” and they went on with their day …
There's no speed limit on the island during the TT, so you can go whatever speed you want when there's no race
Am I the only one who thinks that they shouldnt hit blind corners at those speeds? Dont get me wrong, this is some truly impressive riding, but especially the few turns at 2:50 make me sceptical of wether you could stop in time if there was traffic. Nonetheless, as I said, great riding. Greetings from Germany.
@Juxze its one way so nothing is coming , doesnt really.show on camera but im looking half a mile ahead at some points so i see other vehicles and how fast they are going , so I have a pretty good idea of where and when they will be when i catch them.
Have ridden that section of the course around 750 times in the last 20 years , so I know it pretty well :-)
Still has its dangers but thats why I ride
@@TTFluffers ok the one way thing is good to know. In that case I have nothing to complain about, nice riding :)
This was nice to see the Police having a laugh with public! 🙂👍
Great attitude from the police , actually human beings .
Knew right from the start that it was gonna be a wind-up 😁 Once you hit the National Speed Limit it's game on (as long as you're sensible of course). I was over there in my Sierra Cosworth in the 90s and giving it some over the top of the TT course and I got a thumbs-up from a police officer travelling in the opposite direction 👍😄 Your instinct at first is to back off, but it's good when you know you're legal.
This reminds me of all the times I went to the TT. I would get up in the morning at silly a clock to do a lap of the TT and there would be no one else about. One the benefits of being a teetoaller I guess. However even with nothing about and a lack of your skill sets I settled for just enjoying the view. The only benefit I got for my efforts were that I actually got a complete lap in unlike many others. I managed this because I would drive through the cones at Governors Dip to complete the lap.
Got some talent, probably better if they entered the TT where everyone accepts the risks and has the skills. Passing less skilled road users at that speed could result in a nasty smash. Impressive though. I remember getting a shock when a full on raving sidecar outfit flashed past me - well underneath me-at well over 150mph during a ride around.
Love the camera action , bikes sound great. Last time i was there, i was nailing it out of quarry bends and onto sulby straight, suddenly realised tha its 30mph at the pub. Anchored up fast and a copper pulled me in , all he said was brake a litte earlier, i thought i was going to get locked up. Totally different than ours onbthe main land. Chevked my clocks and it showed 167mph the stupidest grin came across my ugly mug .
Pretty good when you get pulled over and the cops critique your lines...
I seriously question the 170mph element of the title (road markings and scenery were not going past fast enough), but nice little bimble across the mountain.
See other videos for proof of speed
@@TTFluffers Yeah, but the title of this video is 170mph ride, not "see my other videos for a 170mph ride".
YEP THESE BOYS ARE TW@S. TRYING TO SAY 'OOOH LOOK AT ME AND MY SHINY BIKE!'
I couldn't understand what was being said. The sound wasn't clear enough.
proper copper, reckon he was not hoodwinked to yer lifting it, live n let live, good safe yet fast ride,
187mph never again...well until next time. But it was 25 years ago. My deep pocket friend has a new Kawi H2r that hits 224 in the 1/4 mile and 246 at Road America Elkhart back straight. This boggles my mind that you can get a 300+HP "stock" motorcycle that can be easily tuned to 450HP on methanol. Right off the showroom floor...Pay as you go.
Nice smooth fast safe run boys. 😎👌
I'm just back. I've got the post TT blues 😢
Proper example of decent police officers…
Fantastically smooth, almost no camera shake. Rider No2 took some blind corners when trying to keep up with bike 1. hope his eyeline was higher than the camera & he could actually see.
Thanks we try to be smooth , not really blind corners as it is one way.
I always hang back from whoever I'm with as I don't like following people too closely :-)
@@TTFluffers One way, of course, I take it back. Stay fast, stay safe!
If you come off and go through that wire fence ,you will be half the man you used to be ,,😮
Life would be boring without a little bit of risk :-)
@@TTFluffersjust do it on a race track not public roads
For TT fortnight, the Mountain might as well be a race track. There can't be a man, woman, or dog on the Island who doesn't know the score.
Whilst the riding in this video was fast, it was also smooth, respectful and legal.
Hello chaps, you do realize this road is a 40mph limit today? 🤪😂🤣👍
Subbed , thats some very good riding 🔥
I'm from California and I'm confused. Was that a checkpoint? What's the speed limit? Are all police friendly like that from Isle Of Man? Nice riding btw. It looked very smooth and controlled
The isle has no speed limits technically
I believe they don't have speed limits on certain roads.
The TT mountain road is one way and no speed limits in certain points only for the duration of the TT tho, the cones are to say slow down please 😅 and a crash probably happened further up on the mountain when the 2 bikers got stopped, the public crash a lot! Sad! But it happens 😐 they all think they’re racers
Mountain was shut because of an accident, police pulled us over to have a joke about our t-shirts.
Isle of man police are the best in the world , firm but fair and up for a laugh.
We do try to ride fairly fast but try to be smooth and kind of considerate to other road users 😉
The police are friendly and support you like friends in everyday life too.
Get a racing licence, do it properly and a lot faster on a correctly prepared machine on the track. Qualify, come back and give it another go.
Would love to but far too old and not a good enough rider :-)
IOM Police are a different breed.
Much respect.
I was there in 1981 on a CX 500, round the outside peeling an orange!
Awesome, best camera view to. Wouldn't it be nice if police were like that in the uk.
I got caught in a speed trap on way into Kirk Michael back in 97 doing 35 entering a 30 cop hiding behind a bush with a gun. Couldn't believe his attitude, no way to treat fellow bikers and life blood, haven't been back since.
"Be seeing you" 👌 class act lads 😅😂🤣
Where do they store all those cones the rest of the year? Seriously though, nice riding there. Would love to be there.
They keep them on the M6 in England
Hello! Would it be okay to use it in compilations and maybe on some of ours Social Networks? You will get full credit for it. Thanks
No problem
@@TTFluffers Thanks a lot :)
.....and very soon on the mainland we'll get pulled for 23 in a 20.
Hey TT! Great video! Possible to use it in future compilation? Credited as always!
No problem
Manx police are awesome. I got pulled over for doing the same thing ,bike was as close to top gear rev limiter as it had ever been and we got flagged to pull over. We pulled over the police stayed sat in their car, after 10 mins the police waved us off without saying anything. They literally just put us at the back of the queue and shock their heads.
British cops are so classy. Every country has to take an example of how the police should be.
London police needs to learn from this
Those coppers don't have knifes pulled out on them like in London
@@andrewhubbard4044 That's got nothing to do with a bit of fun on 2 wheels..crime and violence is everywhere, not just in London.
Hey you're the guys who always overtake my when I'm out on my bike! lol. It looked like you were riding fast but not dangerously so good luck to you. Have fun and stay safe. :>)
Try as hard as I can to be respectful to other riders.....as long as we are all.having fun :-)
The Isle of Man Police are legends. There is a video of a guy overtaking IOM police at 140mph and they waved at them as they went past..!
Hello! May I use it in one of my compilations? Full Credited of course. Thanks
@@Motorcycle-Moments no problem
I'm from Australia and our traffic police are used as revenue collectors. More like highway men... "Stand and deliver!".
That’s wild enough even when the course is closed and there are no cars.
That’s what I was thinking.
No mention of the reason the road ahead was closed. Usually means an accident.
They told us I wasn't too serious and was open 30 mins later
very safe well done lads the veranda line was perfect
Just as I was thinking. …. Imagine doing it on a real bike….. your mates flies past. 😂😂😂😂
Coolest cop in the world ❤
Those t shirts, definately not straight lines Sir! 😂 Nice riding too, skillful, fast, smooth and respectful 👍😎🏍️
‘The laughing policeman’ - always a hit!
I have run this footage through my inertia speed algorithm and it has calculated the fastest speed you were doing was 146mph...
The behaviour of the police may be a reflection of the type of people they have to deal with ?
I got pulled over near there.The police man was very nice.
Obey the rules, ride within your limits, don’t be reckless and wear the gear. They’ll have no issue with you & you’ll live to tell your mates what a great time you had in the IOM
I thought there was no speed limit once you get out of DOUGLAS?
There in 2014 .Don't speed through villages. When the no restriction sign appears go as fast as your courage allows....
Unfortunately everywhere on the rest of the 37 miles circuit is now a 50mph limit (ish)
Mountain is the only place you can proper open her up
The reason they're nice chaps, much like the New Zealand police. No gun on the belt.
The race is already very dangerous when its empty but to do it outside the race days when there could be cars coming from the opposing lane is next level
It's one way , no cars coming the other way :-)
Also…always check your insurance is up to date and you’re fully covered. 30days in Jurby if you take the piss
Have you boys ever timed yourself over that section and compared it to MGP times? I’m sure you boys could race.
I bottle it at 100mph.
Nowhere near as fast as the racers , they are proper fast and have much bigger balls 😂
Are cops in the Isle of Man actual cops, unlike the British ones? Do they actually not harass people and go on power trips while ignoring real crimes?
never had a bad interaction with them, long as you don't take the piss you'll just get told whatever you've done wrong and sent on your way
@@flowcc Totally different from UK cops who are just power-tripping corrupt scum
What did he mean by “where or who was no 2”?
Who came in second place 😂
hey man can I use this on my social platforms, ill be sure to fully credit you let me know thanks
No worries
To all the ideo saying 170kph not mph my rc390 can just do 170kph and i tell you what my 170 is nothing that that 170 that is definitely 170mph NOT KPH
Nad english
Bad
Joe, had a similar thing going to brands once, police motorcyclist came alongside said where you going we said Brands he said come on then three of us chased him up to the next speed limit, waved us off.
Been to the IOM twice now. Every time i come home i feel like the UK Gov and Police need to take onboard the IOMs doings. IOM Police, i feel protected and they are fair, UK however, i feel dangered and targeted.
Wish Aussie cops were like this
Wish the British cops were like this on mainland Britain as well
Thought he was up for a "bit of blindin sir" be seeing you!
