Thanks for the insight and it made me think. I used to be mad at myself when I had to quit club racing, 30 years ago, due to being broke, because I never got as far as I wanted. On reflection, I can see that it was a sensible decision as if I'd have carried on, I never would have been able to buy my first house. And here I am now, doing track days again, and having a ball with no expectations.
Great video.. I was lucky enough to get a free ride for a year with a manufacturer. The rider they had at the time was fast but was awful at setting up a bike (2 stroke). I was doing some testing setting up the carbs on mine and some guy I never met asked me to do a few laps on their plain white bike and give an opinion. I did a few laps and it was bad so offered my suggestion and the mechanic they had made the changes and off I went again. It was 95% better then their rider went out and while he was out we had a chat. I helped again a few times that day and was asked to come test for them again. The bike was fast but really fragile so it was always seizing up. Being a factory bike they needed to solve it on the quiet. I spent a year riding and blowing up the bike with a promise that I would get next years bike to use for free to run on my own. Sort of a long term loaner. The year ended the bike was better but not perfect so the team pulled pulled the plug on the class and I ended up without a bike for the following year. But I got so much seat time that it helped with my own racing but like many at that time I lost my job in the mines and racing at a level I wanted or needed to be at was impossible. But I have been lucky that I had that technical knowledge and got to design the Yamaha R7 factory cranks and worked on the Petronas FP1 parts too... Its hard to get to any level above club racing as the level of riders goes up and the quality of the bikes do too.. A championship winning club rider may never be more than making the numbers up at the back of a BSB level race and guys laugh at him yet he could go do a club race again and win easily.. It is a lot of dedication and hard work. But if you lack money then its impossible to progress.
@@tmac77 You get into it knowing its not going to be easy and if you think it is then you are in the wrong sport..lol. You have an advantage if you are a really good rider but even then it's not going to be given to you on a plate as you know all too well..
@@adrianlongmate4509 True but the dream was to be a racer and I got a bit of a run at it... Good while it lasted and now I do make stuff or modify stuff for a number of teams as well as my own stuff. Now its back to finishing the Aprilia RS250 project for a bit of fun next year....lol
Today was the first time I`d come across your videos. It was very enjoyable and clear, you and your Bro are so articulate and the passion you both exude for your racing is a joy to see. Hi to your incredible Mum, I have "Hypothetically" loved her from afar for 30+ yrs .
You’re a top racer and it’s so lovely to see you take the time to reply to peeps comments. I remember your dad backing it in, in front of me at a track day at Donington. Special day that one 😂
Could you do a vlog of a day in the life of a superbike rider. Or maybe just a sit down chat in your other videos talking about what your days consist of, when preparing for a race weekend. Love your videos Taylor!👍🏼
I don't often comment on RUclips videos but just wanted to say keep up the great work Taylor - you have a real talent for video production 👍 Oh, and keep on fighting on track! 👊👊👊
I never realised it was so tough even for team riders.its probably why bike racing is full of good people though.i was at cadwell park last year for bsb and was amazed at how close and friendly it was.you can even buy stuff from privateers to help them along which is great i think.well worth supporting and a great insight with this video!
Well done Taylor. Very informative and interesting. It's not just having the ability to ride a bike well, But reading contacts can be tricky, And presenting you self in a good way. 👏👏👏 Well done.
Only just been recommended this channel, and have subscribed and liked the video. Love watching MOTOGP and Superbike racing on TV, and you're hypothetical story was very interesting.
Thanks for this - it's always interesting to know your journey. I was lucky enough to be taught some lessons from your Dad (I'm a wee bit younger than your Dad). Good luck in all you do Taylor.
Thanks for the video, that was very eye opening to me. I’ve watched and supported motorcycle events for years but had no idea of the complications with contracts etc. Good luck Taylor for the season ahead.
Only just found your channel, I’ve really enjoyed the videos so far. Very interesting and I’d say you’re a natural on camera, please keep the content coming!
Taylor was my instructor at a Silverstone Masterclass day a couple of years ago. A great teacher, lots of patience and clarity in his instruction. I recently messaged him directly on Insta for advice about an upcoming track day at Brands and again he took time to respond with sage advice. Top man. Subbed!
Saw the link on BikesportNews and through Twitter retweets... Finally clicked and subscribed. Well made videos, honest and interesting. Looking forward to following you. I hope it all works and we get to see you back on track 2021. Bike racing is the best thing about weekends, especially this year! The coverage on Eurosport is fantastic. Keep her lit Taylor!
Really enjoying the videos Taylor and not just hypothetically. Good luck for next week's BSB round, hope you can get among the points as you get fitter each week after the leg injury.
Brilliant video Taylor. I was only wondering the other day how sponsorships and contracts worked. I know some teams can be ruthless at times but I cant see any scotsman paying a €50,000 fine anytime soon. Good luck next season
It's really interesting to see what's going on at this level in racing.Just won my first podium in a novice class and all paid by myself has to be said it hurts my pocket but money can't buy that feeling when you're on the podium😁.Keep up the great work👍👍
Awesome. Great to see you've made the big time. I raced against you on your 125 and I had a CB500. It was at Mallory park. Banged in the same lap time 1.05.
Nice one, that was really informative for us non racers. Its interesting to hear how racers get to these different levels and what they have to do to get or keep a ride. Here is a question (you are gonna be bombarded with questions now): When a bike is really badly trashed in a crash, what normally ends up as the most usable parts and what do the teams actually do with the non salvageable parts? I mean are they just actually skipped or is there a process they have to go through? Cheers Taylor, great vid, gets a like from me.
Great video mate! The racing rabbit warren goes a lot deeper than people think. There’s a fair few pressures on the pilots off the track that go unseen, great work n effort you have put in. Getting away from the pasta bowl certainly wasn’t a bad thing! Good luck for Stone 👍🏻🤘🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Really interesting post (as usual). I remember starting to race a RD400 in production series and not realising how often pistons etc needed to be replaced and not understanding where other racers obtained spares....
As someone that has started track days in Australia and wants to be able to do some club racing, i totally know how expensive it gets even for a weekend warrior. Thanks for the video, it's really good to know what goes on from the perspective of a rider. Too many people think that because a rider is on tv and wins, he will be swimming in gold. The sad reality is that it's not as glamorous as it seems and often the rider has to do PR and a bit of financials in order to survive until he can break even, at least.
Loved this one.....that aforementioned rider and his Dad were very lucky to get away from that shit team weren't they!...lmao Mad mark take notice when you and Mushroom get to that level!
@@tmac77 we're not missing a race mate! BSB tops Motogp in terms of action so we're all very excited to watch a race. You'd be surprised how popular BSB is in the middle east..
Thanks Taylor. It was fascinating to learn about the way the finances work (or don't!) for riders trying to claw their way up the greasy pole of racing. BTW, Do contracts/sponsors stipulate that riders must have their lids on their hand(s) in front of the camera - when being interviewed after a podium finish? It really grinds my gears!!
Glad you enjoyed it! They do yes, annoying as it is unfortunately it's the only way that teams and riders can keep going with the money from those companies.
This was genuinely an awesome vid! I’ve been around bikes and racing for a very long time, but honestly had no idea of the different stages/levels regarding teams/rider financial setups etc. It was really interesting and the hypothetical story was proper funny too! Subbed and liked mate.. Keep it up Taylor! You’re a hell of a racer and I hope your RUclips venture continues to grow too! 👌
Another great vid, Taylor....and you've surpassed your aim of getting 250 likes - as you've just hit 271......BOOM! That'll show that awful Italian team who treated that rider, and all round nice bloke, terribly....whoever it was.
Mine field out there to make it not only got to have talent and people to help but always on it in regards to contracts. Shame bike racing not cheeper so you lads can have more fun
Just found your channel,glad I did. I have been a two wheel fanatic sense I saw Roger Decoster race. Hope you know who he is , if not ask your dad. Any way thanks for explaining how it works because I would have never thought that it worked that way. I guess an old dog can learn new tricks. Also I'm glad it worked out for the hypothetical rider . Things happen for a reason. Stay safe and GET AFTER IT. P.S. My 12 th birthday present was a down payment on a new 1972 Yamaha JT-1 yellow / black stripe MX. New subscriber.
You come across as really intelligent and well spoken i love listening to your insights into racing, if you don't succeed in racing I think you could have a excellent career in front of the camera. All the best 👍
One of my early motorbike racing memories was when your dad was a wildcard in a WSB round, i think at donnington. He qualified really well, and when asked how he was feeling during the grid walk, his iconic response was 'scared shitless' 😂😂
Here’s an interesting topic that blows peoples minds..... Cost of one round of Stock1000 (one competitor): >Consumables (tyres, brake pads, fuel etc) £2500 >Travelling costs for team (fuel for say 3 vehicles incl truck) £500 >Wages (weekend wages for crew/ techs etc) £700 >Entry fee (one event) £400 >Team feeding/ drinks etc £400 [Total of above £4500] nb. This excludes crash damage, insurance, bike & spares parts costs, repairs, servicing, hospitality for guests, team clothing, tools, support vehicles, awning, other logistic costs etc etc.... (cost £100k+) Assuming you already have all of the above and spend the £4500 to turn up and compete at one round (double header weekend). Let’s say you P1 every session, qualify pole and win both races. What do you win? 🤓🥁🤷🏻♂️.......
Well you definitely got your 250 likes but I'll add mine anyway, plus because you sound like a nice well brought up Englishman I will hit subscribe (hehe)
I'm sure you are aware that a RUclips search just a few days after a BSB round will get you the 1hour plus highlight show, its how I get to see it in the USA now that MotorTrend don't show it.
Cheers Taylor. A great and informative lesson. Particularly like the hypothetical scenario (which anybody with a bit of hypothetical knowledge can hypothetically work out the hypothesis). Nice job. Look forward to the next one.
Wow I love to here these behind these stories you don't usually hear.But you kept smiling while telling the last story.Would love to know who that rider was.
Brilliant great vids big shout from your newist subscriber in Scotland. How many times do you need to crash the bike before they say right your on a shakey peg?
Thanks Iain. That depends on the team and their budget normally. If your names Marc Marquez you can crash as much as you want, but it wouldn't work that way in BSB 🤣
Nothing as Machiavellian as an Italian GP team eh? (Hypothetically of course) Just found your channel today, subbed! All the best for the rest of the year Taylor!
Hey Taylor shout out from the USA. Love seeing your on board footage on BSB highlights. Wish there were a way to watch motorbike racing here. Our moto America is a joke nobody cares about racing here. You should come over here to make some money at the Daytona 200 you would easily win the race the money and the Rolex. Unless it’s in your contract that you can’t compete at this event but would be great to see blowing all us yankes away and show them really how to ride. Great vid liked and subbed that’s a fact not hypothetically 😉

The only way to be sure of making a small fortune from racing is to start with a large fortune...
You've hit the nail on the head there!
Behind every great rider are great parents.
CCTV has really spoiled bank robbing.
That’s a quote from the late Sir Frank Williams, I believe.
Ain’t that the truth
Thanks for being so open and honest, hypothetically. 👍

Here’s an interesting topic that blows peoples minds.....
Cost of one round of Stock1000 (one competitor):
>Consumables (tyres, brake pads, fuel etc) £2500
>Travelling costs for team (fuel for say 3 vehicles incl truck) £500
>Wages (weekend wages for crew/ techs etc) £700
>Entry fee (one event) £400
>Team feeding/ drinks etc £400
[Total of above £4500]
nb. This excludes crash damage, insurance, bike & spares parts costs, repairs, servicing, hospitality for guests, team clothing, tools, support vehicles, awning, other logistic costs etc etc.... (cost £100k+)
Assuming you already have all of the above and spend the £4500 to turn up and compete at one round (double header weekend).
Let’s say you P1 every session, qualify pole and win both races.
What do you win?
🤓🥁🤷🏻♂️.......
I can feel another video coming on 😁🤓

Wow I love to here these behind these stories you don't usually hear.But you kept smiling while telling the last story.Would love to know who that rider was.
nice one really interesting well done
Thanks Julian 😁
Cracking content, well done :)
Thanks very much 👍
Brilliant great vids big shout from your newist subscriber in Scotland. How many times do you need to crash the bike before they say right your on a shakey peg?
Thanks Iain. That depends on the team and their budget normally. If your names Marc Marquez you can crash as much as you want, but it wouldn't work that way in BSB 🤣
Great video! Rossi in the peak of his career? Didn't know it was 2008 😂
Badly worded 😂 I meant financially more so than riding wise.
@@tmac77 Yeah I thought you meant that. Made me laugh
Great video, interesting to get insight into aspects not normally covered, personally I would be interested to hear more about the business side
I’m sure I can think of something along those lines. Thanks Simon 😁
Nice insight, and an funny hyperthetical story too haha
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nothing as Machiavellian as an Italian GP team eh? (Hypothetically of course) Just found your channel today, subbed! All the best for the rest of the year Taylor!
They are just the best! 😂😂 Thanks very much!
Was that hypothetical story a couple of years old? Best of luck for the rest of the season. 👍
Hypothetically it was actually quite a few years ago now!
You're worldwide here. Hi from America.
That's awesome Bob!
Hey Taylor shout out from the USA. Love seeing your on board footage on BSB highlights. Wish there were a way to watch motorbike racing here. Our moto America is a joke nobody cares about racing here. You should come over here to make some money at the Daytona 200 you would easily win the race the money and the Rolex. Unless it’s in your contract that you can’t compete at this event but would be great to see blowing all us yankes away and show them really how to ride. Great vid liked and subbed that’s a fact not hypothetically 😉
Thanks so much! I would love to come race in the states it looks like fun. And thanks for subscribing!
