    As a slower rider,I love this lap at slightly more regular speeds. I was over for the Manx Grand Prix in August, on my KTM Duke 390, and had a whale of a time riding the course, and marshalling some of the great riders on the best course in the world. I’m back for the Manx in 2023, I can’t wait!

  • @albertol1529
    @albertol1529 Год назад +13

    The combination of legal speed limits, Innov K5 and your calm commentary makes this the best TT lap I have ever seen. The wide angle shows the beauty of the island and treacherousness of the course. All other laps I’ve seen are someone on ITV going full throttle all the way round……and as we know, when you hit 160mph plus tunnel vision and motion blur come in, not to mention 100% concentration. So this has probably done a lot for the IoM tourism outside of the TT. I know you’ve convinced me to go off peak with the missus. I can’t be arsed with the suicidal Dunlopesque maniacs or VR wannabes who, knowing my luck will cause a mishap for me.
    I should’ve gone a long time ago since my mum, dad and 3 older brothers went there before I was born, probably 1960/61. Would yiu believe my dad took them to watch the T.T. yet he was paralysed down his left side from age 19, and never rode a bike. Somewhere in my mum’s is a ViewMaster 3D photo reel of Douglas (if you’re “of an age” you’ll know what I mean) which i used to look at when I was little. My dad told me about the Tourist Trophy, so I knew from a young age what “T.T.” stood for! Yet, Mr Teapot, it was you who will take the credit for getting me over there, probably just after Easter 2023 when I gave a lull in my work before the onslaught! Thank you for the inspiration.

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  Год назад +1

      Alberto that is a fantastic message to read, and I’m chuffed that you’re going to make the trip over and see for yourself. It’s a lovely wee island that lives and breathes bikes.
      What more could you want! 😉👍

    • @albertol1529
      @albertol1529 Год назад +2

      @@teapotone Thanks Bruce, your lap was inspirational, and it did show what the riders risk. A couple of crash pads at 140mph won’t do anything for the lamp post or a rider! I don’t do camping, but i will do hotels and I’ve decided I will send luggage on to the hotel so the missus’ belongings don’t have us wheelieing round the circuit.
      Keep up the good work!

    @chegson2wheels686 Год назад +1

    Way back when I was a child, I used to go up to St Bees lighthouse as on some days I could hear the racers screaming over the TT course. Fast forwards to the late 90's & I took the family across on the historic cruise ship Balmoral(it used to do day-trips from Whitehaven)& the first thing I did on arrival was grab a taxi to travel the course. I now want to go to the TT on my bike, & have a ride about the island but finances lately mean it'll probably never happen(that & my health will also mean I won't get there) If I ever win the lottery without buying a ticket, that's my first mission....fill the bike, book a ferry ticket & away I'll go.

    I expect you'll have fun over here on the 125s. Outside of TT there's much less traffic and the temporary speed restrictions have been lifted. There's lots of nice scenic back roads that are really enjoyable on a little 125.

    I'm glad got to experience the TT when it wasn't as sanitised. Loved being able to ride cronk y voddy and quarry bends at more than 50mph. You would really have loved it back then Bruce. But even with all the changes, it wouldnt ever stop me from going. Just love the place. It's brilliant heading over for bike holidays outside of racing. Loved seeing your videos from this year. ❤️

    @alanbstard4 Год назад

    Christ I'd love to do that IoM. Wonderful stuff. There is a video on RUclips about a proposed ban on the race way back when. Phil Read, the MV Agusta rider who died in October , made public claims asserting his doubts about the safety of the race. He was parked at a service staion in his private car, and a copper approached him and said, " you better get out of here, Mr Read, I can't guarantee your safety.🤣
    Thankfully, the race continues. As one racer said, the throttle goes both ways

    Great video Bruce! That takes me back. Not been to the island for way too long.
    Re the Nürburgring comments and 'boy racers' etc. I went with 4 mates (4 bikes, 1 car) to the Ring and in the two days we were there, it was closed 6 times for accidents!
    One Honda Blackbird came back on a truck in two halves! (and a Volvo 240 Wagon that had rolled) I did 4 laps and that was enough for me!
    I first went to the IOM on a family holiday in the 70's but it was in August-ish.
    👍🏍

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  Год назад

      Aye me too, I’ve been to the ring once and done 2 laps - it was closed just as I did he’d the first lap, and 4hrs later we got another lap in before it was closed again😬🤦‍♂️
      Still worth doing it though in my book 👍

    Bruce, I don't know if you have but Ramsey is a great place to stay. The Football Stadium turns into a camping ground and it's fantastic. There is a bar that's open all night (so if your tent fails you can kip in there and it's heated) and you're a 2 minute walk from Ramsey Square to watch all the action. The bar even does breakfast in the morning like a cafe, although there are loads of cafes and bars about the place and you're also not locked to one place when the racing starts. It's where we go when we go over and it's always been brilliant.

    Always envious watching your adventures Bruce, I've just joined the GSA family, I have a lot of questions to ask relating to mostly travel but also some about the bike, where would the best place be to put a fairly lengthy message to you, there is a good possibility of a subject for a video to help other bikers out in relation to embarking on a very first time travelling to Europe or another country, what are ALL the things you need to have so you don't get caught out and have obstacles in your way, some countries like Spain have rules like if you wear specs you must have 2 pairs, some insist on your bike having winter tyres at all times, always best to know what papers and any other considerations before you decide to go to any place outside of the UK rules.

      Cheers John,
      Well I’ve not crashed (yet) so can’t tell you how it performs for ‘real’, but as a day to day piece of kit there are no issues.
      A full charge can last as much as 4 days riding, I’ve worn it in hours of torrential rain with no issues to the electrics, and it is pretty much of no concern to wear.
      Negatives would be it restricts a fair amount of airflow to your upper body so in hot weather it is warm to wear.
      I always wear a rucksack when riding so have to wear that over the top of the vest, BUT this doesn’t effect the performance of the vest providing you wear the rucksack loose.
      My view is that I’d rather have the vest than not. I’ve had enough messages from people whose life has either been saved by the vest, or they’ve been prevented serious spinal injuries 🤷‍♂️👍

    I note you seem to be sporting an air vest of some flavor. I couldn't find anything about it in your video list. What sort is it and what do you have to say about it (or them in general)?

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  Год назад +1

      Hi Ray, yeah it’s a Helite Air Vest, one of their ‘E’ series - so you’re not tethered to the bike, it works off G-sensors to detect sudden movement.
      I’ve not done a vid on it yet as I like to properly use a product before I review it. Been wearing this since around Spring so will look at early next year for a vid.
      It’s a wee bit of extra faff - in terms of remembering to charge it every 3-4 days of use, and another bit of kit to put on, BUT I know from friends who’ve been wearing one when they’ve had an accident that it’s saved at least one of their lives and prevented probable paralysis in another.
      I feel very ‘on offer’ now if I ever don’t wear it for some reason.
      They’re expensive - but I’d certainly recommend them👍

    pro tip from a tt marshal if you go to sure the phone shop and buy a pay and go sim card , also some mobile companies charge international for calls back to the uk.
    they do a basic phone and sim deal for like £20 with data included also helps keep an eye on costs for phoning home or data roaming.
    the phone is also works with uk sims so i keep my basic tt phone either in my jacket or in one of the cubby holes on bike or top box incase of emergencies and my smart phone is dead or something

      If you come off on a Track, you might slide along on your Kevlar-plated arse, and USE those expensive Loonie Leathers, (ready designed for crashing !), before hitting a Hay Bale.
      If you come off at the TT, you are likely to have your HEAD fly through some Woman's front room window, (after her Garden Wall !!), and your leathers will be a handy liquid blood-containing bag for the REST of you.

      In the immortal words of Greta - How Dare You!
      How dare you dictate what anyone else does with their own body.
      How dare you dictate whether people can make their own choice to do something or not.
      How dare you dictate whether someone can make the choice to go and watch this racing.
      Everyone who races knows the risks, and they make the decision to do it.
      Everyone who goes to watch the racing accepts there is a risk that these bikes and riders may come into contact with them if they are located anywhere around the track.
      Everyone who buys a house on the TT circuit is aware of the TT and the risks to their property from it.
      I bet you are one of these people who would buy a house near a circuit, then complain about the noise!
      Life is about living, life is about being alive.
      Some people choose to minimise any risk to themselves as much as possible, and others needs to take ultimate risk in order to feel alive.
      Each to their own, nobody should force their own beliefs on anyone else, whatever they are.
