    First-rate! Thank you, Mr. Warr. I hope this film finds its way to the attention of other classic motorcycle racers and fans everywhere just as it found its way to me.

    Great work John. Really appreciate the effort, without people like you, all of these great bikes and characters are too easily forgotten. Why road racing never drew the fame it deserves I'll never know.

      Thank you Sir! I have thoroughly enjoyed 20 years of Isle of Man racing activity having returned in 1998, after a break of some 34 years!
      Filming is a new dimension for me and I have learned along the way with the constant forbearance of all the competitors and their support teams who make the two annual events such a pleasure.
      The pandemic break has changed things so much, and we are all that much older, so I shall not be there this year. However, never say never! I shall hopefully be back again in 2023.
      Thank you again for your comments and I share your opinion on the uniqueness of the sport.
      Sincerely,
      Martin Warr

    Some nice pics here. Great bikes, the classics always bring mixed feelings for me, never scoff at them, never wanted one really, but I appreciate the legacy of those bikes....my dad used to ride a 60's (I think) 500cc twin exhaust BSA...that's all I can remember about it except it was black, red, and was extremely loud.
    So they have a place in my heart....he raced it at Cadwell Park a few times.

    The 80s green/blue/white Kawasaki ZX7 with the pool hoses over the tank an the dual round headlights, the GSXR 750/1100s with the dual headlights, and the Yamaha FZRs with the dual headlights are the ultimate classic crotch rockets.

    Sir, thank you for sharing this "jewellery" exhibition and inttroducing each of them one by one.
    I haven't finished watching the whole video, yet as I will, in a more suitable time without interruption but I can say in advance it is a very good job. (And I liked the the barely heard tick-tacks in the backgroung of your calm voice, which I consider from a "classic" watch)

    Excellent excellent video.. I am now of an age where the classic races are more relevant as they are bikes I had in the late 80s and 1990s.. Stunning bikes so beautifully restored and maintained.. Thank you. 👍🏼
    Good also to see Mark Parrett, I lived in the same village, South Harting, Sussex.. his dad (Jeff) was my Cubs Arkala in the early 1980s 😄

      Thanks for your kind words David. I often consider those who wrestled with celluloid film in cutting rooms to produce their end-product and now we have readily available digital data and the associated software which allows us to concentrate soley on the subject matter. Although still photography has always interested me, I never realised the enjoyment that could be obtained from a creative task such as film-making. Maybe I shouldn't have chosen accountancy all those many years ago. Still, better as a retirement hobby I think because one has funded the other! Thanks again. JMW.

      We also must not forget the Isle of Man public who have to live as normally as possible during the two weeks of the event.
