    I’ve been dying for these 2 to talk more about they’re TT experiences. What a privilege this has been. Thanks so much guys! This is the best biking channel on the web by far!!

    Can I just show my appreciation and admiration to all you guys who swing a leg over a bike and ride that TT course.
    A real test of nerve and skill on the very edge of possible on a sportsike.
    Terrifying but seductive too.
    Mad shit, and I'm glad you lads are still here to talk about it.

    This is such a fantstic explanation of the course at a sensible speed which is unusual as most are flat out with over dub. Thanks guys! Merry Christmas!

    The thing that strikes me most about this video is the reverence, and love shown for the TT course. None of usual 44 Teeth banter/innuendo, just blokes paying respect to the greatest place on earth to ride a bike.

    Amazing! Done a few laps of the course (at normal, Joe average speed) and it's mind blowing to think of the speeds racers go at. It was the bumps that surprised me most! It could be uncomfortable on a softly sprung bike at 30. To hit them at a 100+ is just unfathomable... Respect to all road racers. Heroes every one of them!

  • @LitleBear
    @LitleBear 2 года назад +5

    Awesome video, still amazed that a race so intense and demanding exists, even crazier that people like Bruce Anstey can just roll up and send it. The skill and bravery involved.....its like big wave surfing or mountain climbing, an entirely different league.

  • @Bigyin600
    @Bigyin600 2 года назад +11

    Love it. Nice one Boothy and Al for taking the time to explain the little ins and outs of the course at race speed while on a bimble round. Bits that look terrifying onboard during races and you pair are "Loved this bend as it was flat out and ballsy" lol. Went there in mid 2000's in November with a mate on a pair of ZX636's and hit 2 days of brilliant sunshine and zero traffic. Hit the dip after Kates on the way down to the Cregg at about 110 mph and the front came up and floated in the air with me laughing and scared at the same time. turned around at the Cregg and went back up and did it again..... and again...... and again as it made me laugh every time. Ambulance crew on stand by in the car park were sat laughing and shaking their heads

    Alot of what you say about more nuance elements of racing the course is stuff many people have all said before, and as much as you believe what you hear it just sounds stupid whenever you hear it, but the way you guys follow on the explanation makes it much more relatable and allows for a better appreciation for those of us who will never manage to race the TT, it's a little thing but I very much appreciate it. Cracking job boys!

    @gixerloon 2 года назад

    Excellent vid guys, first time I and some mates rode over was in 2012, worst weather ever they cancelled the Senior that year, but on the 2 days it didn't rain; we rode round the course one evening and I did shat myself on the mountain went into a left can't remember the name, but at 3 figures and it tightened, a bit more than I was assuming.... I have to say having only ever watched it on tv previously, I was totally shocked at just how bad the road surface was in places at normal speeds, let alone at 170+
    I came away with a new found understanding of what the racers have to do, to manage a 130+ lap, just incredible feet of endurance and a major respect to all the contenders in my book for riding this road circuit. 👍👍👍

    @Plasticjesus504 2 года назад +1

    Basically, one of the things that comes across is the brotherhood. There are people who have done the TT or manx GP, and then the rest of the human race.
    It remains a pinnacle challenge for a rider, and the machine. Anyone who does it should be respected.
    And as for you boys, I bet you spun a few more laps, and I also bet the beers went down well in the evening.
    Nice one boys, nice one.

      side note. Peter Hickman on his page has a helmet cam version from a special demo lap on a BMW. Its a staggering lap - he says 'not at race pace' - but none the less, staggering compared to normal bike cams. And a great film for people wanting to learn the track/speed/lines.

    Been over for a few TTs and a few times just to go ride, best time to ride was early morning, most people still sleeping or nursing hangovers. Obviously during TT weeks the mountain is one way no oncoming traffic, no speed limit awesome fun. There are however lots of other no limit sections and roads all over the island there are some magic roads out Port Erin way and around Ballabeg, Ballasala and many more, can’t wait to go back in 2022. Planning on acquiring a KTM RC8R with a couple of mods to take over next year…….. roll on end of May. Awesome video guys gives everyone a great perspective of how committed and brave you have to be to go at race speeds around there, I tip my hat to you……😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲
