Ok so this video is also on my other channel so if you have already seen it, thank you very much, the views are always appreciated. This has come up a time or two in comments and me mentioning it since taking a dive into UK centric videos and thought this as well as some other videos on the other channel would be well appropriate over here.

Thank you everyone for watching. This video was done a while ago on my first channel. With the UK centric dives I've been doing, thought this would be appropriate here as well, actually more appropriate over here since the other channel is mostly EV's and tech.
Thank you for this, we need a reaction to guy martins plane engine if you haven’t already seen it🤝
Guy Martin is a legend you must watch him
This is awesome,
I have a good recommendation, Cheese rolling festival in the UK, it is amazing 😊
@@jessebartlett2325 If I hadn't taken the night off last night because I had stuff I could release today then I would definitely have taken a look at it last night since that is most definitely on the list.
@@TheEclecticBeard I believe there is also a series called "we are the champions" on Netflix and the first episode is also about the Cheese rolling festival, I hope you enjoy it 😊
The pub at the finish line had free beer for the first 10 riders, so..
🤣🤣🤣
Sounds about right haha
God bless Britain
makes up for the small sum of money in the prize pot aye
Been a biker in the U.K for more than 40 years in all weathers and all seasons ( even snow ) and this race still impresses me. Full Respect to those guys. They have lost quite a few brothers over the years !
Hey NASCAR drivers gotta have someone to look up too.
Yeah, it's called F1
This isn't the TT Races, these bikers are just Isle of Man residents late for work. Wait till you see the real TT Races.
Top comment. Made me chuckle.
Priceless. PMS at that comment
Here in Britain, we like some mad shit.
@Steve Ray it might as well be you muppet the fact it’s not is a technicality only
@Steve Ray The Isle of Man isn't apart of Britain? Wow you are dense
@@theblackfox8920 It isnt part of britain, Britain is the island which includes scotland wales and england. Isle of Man is its own island.
sam newman It is part of the British isles though
And here in the Isle of Man we like farming and fast bikes
Over 37 miles the best average speed is 135mph, that's average, which includes slowing down for numerous corners... It's remarkable the skill these guys have.
The biggest reason why the TT is so big, is because it's so fast and the track goes around the whole island for one lap. The speed they get up to whilst going round corners or even getting air is crazy. Sadly though why it is so famous, is because of the amount of accidents and deaths which have happened over the years.
Have a look at Michael Dunlop's win at the N.W.200 Northern Ireland his dad died in a crash on the Thursday practice and Michael went and won the race on the Saturday may be 2008 road racing got to be the most historic win love your Chanel cheers
I was about ten when i first witnessed this race i have been three times now and will never forget the shock at how fast they go down normal country lanes , i'm 53 .
I live about 4 miles from the Ulster grand prix circuit, have been watching road racing for years, the courage and skill of all the riders who take part is above and beyond anything you will ever see in a closed circuit or stadium.
Ive just come across your channel in the last few days and enjoying seeing you react to something that is rooted deep in our culture. The folk at 4:30 are talking about Guy Martin, you should check out what he does, not just motorbikes, but engineering and British history, a national treasure for sure, he has many achievements and is a well rounded guy. Keep up the good content.
LOVE Guy Martin. I find myself on his channel every few days.
Aaaaand I was just going to point our host to Guy. Not least because of his glorious Grimsby accent.
I watched Closer to the Edge at the behest of a buddy of mine that lives over there. Guy Martin's personality is hard not to like. All of the folks that run the TT or even the Irish road races are completely insane in my opinion. Gonads of steel to run the course at the speeds they do.
@@TheEclecticBeard Agreed - as a once fairly quick biker and used to 150mph plus speeds on a track, I simply cannot wrap my head around how they do this so close to the scenery. There is NO room for even the slightest misjudgement.
@@andycoombes Not at all, slightest miscalculation even knowing the track the way they do can do them in which is just insane.
In a younger life I was a British biker I marshalled the TT for many years an unbelievable feet of skill and bravery a wonderful spectacle
Balls like potatoes
Been the TT twice. Its only an hours drive and a ferry ride for me to get there.
Rode a fireblade at fast pace over the mountain a few years ago, and the skill these guys have to ride at the pace they do is just mind blowing. I personally wasn't comfortable over 130 mph on that road so to see these guys hitting over 200 regularly... Hats off to them. TT racers are a breed of their own.
The side car guys are even more insane!!
I couldn't stop shaking with adrenaline the first time I stood at the bottom of Bray hill watching them do 190mph+. The TT is something else.
Kiwi rider Bruce Anstey on a 1000cc Suzuki back in 2006 was timed at 206 m.p.h. [332 kmh] at the end of Sulby..... which on non race days has a speed limit of 30 m.p.h. ....
I was lucky to attend two IoM TT's, back in my youth.. Would love to return once again.. You have to be there to appreciate the sounds and the sheer speeds of the guys.
So happy you’ve reacted to this, went to the TT with my dad about 8 year ago, there is honestly nothing like it💯 most these fly by’ are 170mph+
Have you guys seen the video about the ambulance motorcyclist that runs at the back. OMFG.
Thats n awesome mini documentary! Seen it too! He sadly passed away if I'm correct?
I'm in the UK and find this Insane I can't bring myself to go and watch.
Same here. I'd love to see it myself, but the fear of seeing a fatal crash (which happens often) seriously puts me off.
These guys are without doubt the bravest of ALL sportsmen.
I can't even imagine what it must be like for a parent of one a these guys, watching them compete.
Ive been was magic and the parties. Very magic.
Check out Guy Martin he’ a truck mechanic who races in the TT and his hobby is breaking world records.
And his prized possession is a Merlin Spitfire engine....he's a quality bloke
@@brad270472 how could i forget about his spitfire engine. I loved it when they filmed him starting it up the joy on his face was like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. He reminds me of my grandad always oily and never happier than when he's tinkering. Then his tinkering turns into something amazing. My grandad used to go in the garage tinkering and come out with a gyrocopter or a petrol go kart he made out of an old motorbike sidecar. He ended up building 5 gyrocopter's i only wish he had kept 1.
Is that not Guy Martin watching at 6:30?
I went “ off season “ speed limit through the village’s must be observed out on the open road no limit. Checked this with a local tea house “ yes there are no speed limits just mind the pub at the bottom of the hill “ we where the only six bikes on the island. God that was fun
2:06 he was goin so fast he almost cut that grass on the side... o,g !
You get it, my friend. When the TT is back on, watch the coverage (the sidecar races are great fun too). I used to be involved in motorcycle road racing (not at this calibre, I hasten to add) and it's the best way to experience life itself. I'm old, fat and don't bounce as well as I used to now so I take it easy but occasionally the horns still grow and I have a mad 5 minutes lol. Thanks for sharing your video and I've just subscribed 😊
Some of these shots are just me on a Monday morning, late for work... again.
Incredibly 260 riders have been killed since the event started in 1907 plus 15 officials and bystanders. (Source - Wiki).
32 have died in the last 10 years
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course_fatalities
Britain has probably been involved in wars that have had fewer casualties!
britain has been involved in wars with 0 casualties so yeah.
Why do you focus on the predictable negative? These guys live to ride on the island, and know the dangers......
@@MichaelSmith-mc8bd Because we live in a society where especially at the moment, we're told to be safe and not to go out. Yet we're happy for others to jump on an engine, fly round a public road at 200mph and letting them selves and innocent by-standers risk their lives. You could also look at other illegal activities deemed "too unsafe" for socieity, like recreational drug use and look at the hypocrisy of sending people to prison for smoking a little weed and yet we revere and exalt racing drivers for risking their lives and others.
Plus, its an astonishing fact in todays age that something still exsists that kills 3-5 people every year in a developed country.
@@3allz has this event taken place since the Covid-19 outbreak? I think not! Everyone who attends this amazing motorcycling event knows the dangers. Riders, spectators and officials. . Yes it’s amazing, it makes the blood course through everyone’s veins, that’s known as living......
This is my favourite channel to watch Reactions. Your accent just makes it worth the watch
You didn't show them going through the villages and jumping over humps in the road while on a bend, thats really freaky.
As well as all the TT riders, there's also a paramedic or two on bikes flying round the circuit as well, as it's the fastest way to get medical care to the riders when they crash
Most accidents are covered by Helicopters in the TT, not a paramedic on a bike. Also have marshals and medics set up on almost every corner.
It's worth mentioning that they are racing the clock not each other as they start individualy at 10 second intervals, so the rider at the front may be in 20th place :)
When you paused around the 7:00 mark, thats Guy Martin with the beard. Top racer himself.
No it's not. Very similar looking though...
Yes it is, he even mentions about his relationship with the rider that passed.
That is not Guy Martin, he's called Robbie and he was joking about knowing the racer personally.
My Uncle was the king of the Isle of Man the Legendary Joey Dunlop sadly gone now but never forgotten
Prove it .... pos joey is a legend you are a nobody if true stop hanging off coattails
@@vasili1207 not nice I mention a family member and you call me a pos and a nobody real nice My Grandfather is in the Irish Sporting Hall of fame as well so that makes me a double POS
@@hutchison82 don't worry it is only a tools opinion 😉
Have a look at a full lap with an on board camera mate, now that's scary shit! These guys are fearless! 👽
Guy Martin who’s a TT racer, on and off these days, might be of interest - he’s done a few good series like Speed where he tries to beat various speed records like human powered flight and Pike’s Peak. He’s attempted the biggest Wall of Death record too (no spoilers). Then he’s done some really good historical engineering stuff like How Britain Worked about the Industrial Revolution where he restores stuff like steam engines and boats, and the Boat the Guy Built where he restored a narrowboat with his mate that’s a joiner I believe.
Edit: just seen your other comment where you say you’ve been on his channel a fair bit, don’t know if there’s any of his stuff that you’ve not seen but love pretty much everything he’s made. He’s fairly local to me as well. My girlfriend is from Indiana and is probably a bigger fan than me now 😂
He's got an awesome personality. His How Britain Works is good. I've seen his video on breaking the world land speed record. He's just a different breed.
@@TheEclecticBeard definitely, he does remind me of a few people around here, there must be something in the water (or watter as some say) but there’s no one quite like him. If you’re into EVs have you seen the TT Zero stuff
@@vaudevillian7 Yes. I took a look at the Mugen Shinden TT Zero
@@TheEclecticBeard fantastic, I’ll have to check that out
What people dont realise watching these types of clips is, is you can literally feel the heat off the engine, the smell of the exhaust and the draught from the bikes
John McGuiness on fans standing close = "you wouldn't feel much if it hit you" 😂
The Ear pieces they have in have a commentator in them giving info so the people watching can tell who is coming and to give warnings about crashes.
There's a video of a Subaru WRX sti going around the Isle of Man TT course on a closed race day where he hits 178mph....well worth a watch. 🇬🇧
In the middle of the racing weeks, the racers have a day off. The race circuit is then open to the public on that is called 'Mad Sunday'. It certainly is!
Nothing better than the sound of bikes on the edge trying to navigate around the Isle of Mann course. Always been a fan thanks to my dad, had the cash and holidays banked to go this year. Oh well, maybe next year hopefully
Just started watching your channel, great reactions, you seem like a nice bloke. Salford uk
when you feel the atmosphere of a motorcycle race and like motorcycles, you will understand why these people are close to the road
You get a like and subscribe for the beard alone - Gandalf-level awesomeness.
No 1 bike race in the world, proud to say I'm a quarter Manx!
It makes me smile when watching Salty Cracker videos, based in Florida, where he’s talking about travelling out of State to experience a corner. 🙂
Watch cheese rolling mate you will crack up at how crazy some British are!!
Crazy - no, adventurous, definitely
Iam Irish and always thought we were mad, that cheese rolling takes it to another level, it is also halarious, hats to all those big balls who take part, men and women.
@@belfastsoul8863 well, being a Yorkshireman, I can't comment on whether the Irish are mad or not - they're certainly stereotyped as such...the ones I've met throughout my life seem sane enough
@@leestockton9367 Lee I appreciate not wanting to accept sterotypes etc lol but take it from me I've seen people charge heavily armed soldiers with nothing but fists and boots, MAD!! know what I mean mate? But still pails in comparison to charging down a near vertical hill chasing a large rounded cheese at break next speed, my hats still off to that!!!
@@belfastsoul8863 You are Grand people. All the Irish folk I've met are A)Gam as fuck and B)Grand as fuck.
The Irish are fookin' ace people! Be it from the North or South.
(I'm an Englishman. Part of my family tree is from the Republic though my Step-Sons are half N.Irish).
I went to the Isle of Man TT races in 1983 - if I remember correctly, there was one racer died that year during a race, along with 3 members of the public during regular day to day riding, including one who died on Mad Sunday... 😞
I would still love to go there again though!
Our American cousins are soooo welcome to come over to Isle of Man any time . Love to see you now.
Some of this video footage is from the amazing Southern100 road circuit races at Castletown, south of the island. Also known as the Friendly Races.
I’m from the uk wife’s brother lives in the Isle of Man they pass his house we go every year it’s awesome
That would be incredible! I hope I can make it to see them race at some point. Its on the bucket list for sure.
I’ve just come across you’re channel, loving your reactions so far!
Would be great to see your reactions to some uk rap battles, especially the comedy ones. Battlers like lunar c, shuffle t, marlo, Oshea & definition
Love Lunar C. Will take a look at the others.
The also hold a thing called mad Sunday when the whole island is open to the public to ride there bikes around just like these lads and they do lol
Iv been three times to the TT and it’s insane. Lots of American folk their as well having a fantastic time. Dude you should come.
Stevie Hislop one of the TT's greatest riders used to deliver my milk.
Absolutely, many people forget these guys all have regular jobs ... this is weekend passion
What while doing the circuit
@@pauldavison7105 Ha ha yes 🤣 Nah on an Electric Milk FLoat, about as opposite as you could get. 😁
I've seen the way some of these milk men fling their little carts around like lunatics so it really doesn't surprise me that is his actually job 😂 guy is a nutter who delivers near me
@@lukeshaw3375 They don't deliver anymore unfortunately, back in the day we had milk in glass bottles, delivered, picked up, washed and re-used, on electric milk floats. there was also someone that came and took away newspapers to be recycled. Now it's plastic cartons brought home in plastic bags.
Some of the earlier footage is of other road races, not the TT. In the Northwest and the Ulster Gp for example they race wheel to wheel like you see in those clips.
The TT is a time trial, they set off far apart and they're racing the clock more than each other.
Unbelievable they can ride at these incredible speeds while having to carry around those titanium balls..
Boring boring boring. Come up with something original
@@bid84 here;s a classic original for you: piss off.
This is a really historic motorcycle race. The first one was in 1907. Plenty of deaths over the years (hitting stone walls at 150 m.p.h. tends to hurt quite a lot !! People from allover Europe travel to the island for this.
4:18 crazy beauty man- i think theres loads of the current F1 Drivers want to give it ago NOT it seems they are demanding massive rubber barriers all around the Course and the bikes restricted to 70mph
New sub.
This is like motorcycle mecca. Has to be seen at least once. My Dad went and he is a tough guy however he had a squeaky bottom moments watching it.
Middle Sunday, they open the "track" for visitors to ride round but not at these speeds.
Its the smell of that fuel and the pure deafening sounds of the bikes that gets the blood pumping.
You should see the speed the scooter robbers go in London when they snatched your phone lol
This is how we rode home from the pub in the 80s. some called it mad we called it a good friday night out 😆♥️🇬🇧.
Same as back in the late 50's, I had a friend that did that ...once.
The roads are closed during the day and open back up again in the evening. So what your saying about things on the road that bikes have to take in to account is very true. Over the mountain section has no speed limits all the time, just through the towns there are limits usually 😉👍
MASSIVE LOVE & RESPECT Ian Hutchinson .
I think some of the clips in this might be from road racing in Ireland - not Isle of Man. Not sure though.
100%
Any clip where theres 5+ bikes all racing on the road at the same time is Ireland. Its staggered starts at the IoM because its obviously super dangerous to all be starting at the same time. You occasionally get a build up of back markers and front runners in the TT, all meeting on the road after multiple laps, but max you will see is like 3 bikes really close to each other.
@@3allz Yeah, most of the clips in the first 2 minutes seem to be Ireland - up in the wee north.
looked like the IOM to me, didn't see any of the roads that i recognise at the North West and others races etc
Never been more proud of This island 🇮🇲🙌🙌 I hope that one day I can be in the Manx National Rally... so SUBARU if u wanna sponsor me that would be kinda cool :)
You should take a look at the Nurburgring Nordschleife footage. When they allow private vehicles to take on the track
One TT rider said that he knew he'd got the line on a particular corner right when his helmet touched the stone wall.... at 120mph! There's *NO* margin of error on the TT course, it's all public roads (closed for the race) with all the usual street objects protected by hay bales etc. God only knows what would happen if someone's dog got in the way. Sadly, there have been rider fatalities, some famous names are no longer with us.
Motorcycle road racing is the ultimate form of motorsport, and for sure the IOM is the pinnacle event. The WRC is the closest the four wheelers come to it...But they've got huge roll cages built around them.
I was born on the island and I have seen women as the passenger on the side cars. The passenger has to react to the upcoming corner. If the driver makes a right turn the passenger jumps to the opposite side to keep that side from lifting off the road. If you think the video is nuts you have to be there to fully appreciate the sight and sound. While I lived there I worked at a hotel and an American asked me if I would take him to some good spots and he would pay me. Naturally I agreed. I owned one of the original Mini Cooper s and had it modified . I drove it fast and he was yelling at me to take it easy. When he got to experiences a bike going past him on a public road through a village with stone walls at speeds approaching 190 mph. He decided that everybody on this island had lost their mind and that included me. He was shaking when he got out. I told him that most of the riders do It because they enjoy it. To this day I cannot understand how a human beings mind can react to the changing road conditions at those insane speed. When the rider gets off I imagine the rest of the world is going in slow motion after making decisions that fast for 37 and three quarters of a mile and not just once round the course. I now live in the USA. Thanks John.
Love the channel mate!
Fastest EVER Lap of the Isle of Man TT | Peter Hickman - 136.358mph!!!! Wow. Must see.
There is an IOM TT video game. My first attempt at racing the full course took me 25 mins and around 15 crashes.
we have a chap over here you just must watch, he is an isle of man winner and has set many Guinness world speed records in all manor of equipment.
l suggest you start with his wold record speed on the wall of dearth. his name is Guy Martin and the man is just unbelievable.
TT is basically the equivalent of Hold My Beer to ever sport. The noise is boss music.
Watched the first 2 minutes, the footage is from the Ulster Grand Prix road race, on the Dundrod course, Northern Ireland. Not the time trial IOM TT.
The bloke in the blue shirt near the end of the video, is Guy Martin, himself a speed freak
Your reaction to watching TT races is golden, it is the most dangerous race in the world so imagine being there, you will have got to go one day in future and see it for yourself, its incredible 👍
I don't know if you've seen any decent "on bike" footage, but you can't get much better than Guy Martin. Here's some footage of him with his own commentary. I hope you enjoy it. By the way, Four Candles is a British institution , I loved your reaction to it! ruclips.net/video/5uwp2atrSgw/видео.html
I have been to tt many times and riden the course alot. I can tell you that at 5.09 that is the bottom of begarrow bend and to approach it at 60m p h is frightening enough,let alone the 140 plus these guys are going. Good video.
If you ever venture to Northern Ireland, which I highly recommend and welcome you to do so, you will witness this in person and be blown away even more. Northern Ireland is the home of road racing with over 6 road races in various locations to entertain you. Also, it’s a very beautiful country to explore and should you hire a motorcycle you’ll be gobsmacked at the awesome road trips that you can explore. If you do come give me a shout and I’ll happily greet you and show you around. Love your vids. Look after each other and love yourself ♥️
I can't remember exactly but think it was mid to late 80s,I went to both the TT and the North West in N Ireland, seen little joey Dunlop, all I can say is that when I seen him in person in around the pits area,when I looked into his eyes there was nothing there,it was weird as fuck.
The camera frame rates can;t capture full images they’re going that fast
Between 1907 and 2019 there have been 151 fatalities during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course, and
fatalities (this number includes the riders killed during the Manx
Grand Prix, and Clubman TT race series of the late 1940s/1950s).
To give you an Idea on the Death rate of this race.
The Manx GP & Clubman races were for amateur riders, not the real hard guys like these.
Iam not a motor sport lover . But when it comes to the Isle of man TT bike races then this gets my whole hearted attention. These guys have balls of steel and big ones at that. If your coming from the states try and see it . You wont be disappointed. Book early when all this covid crap is over .
You can get an app on your phone that gives you live timing data so you have a better idea of what's actually going on during the race. The crowd gets a bit quiet when one of the riders stops updating.
I was in the Isle on Man for TT practice week twice in the 1980's
Went to see this with my dad once when I was 9 and seen a guy hit a house. Never went back !
The film ‘closer to the edge’ is a great look at these racers. Average speed is now well over 130 mph over a full 37 mile lap.
You need to watch an onboard lap to semi grasp how mad these blokes are, love the tt ❤️
My dream is to race this track. I’ve ridden it a few times but never competitively.
Upmost respect to all riders who started the tt in the early 1920’s-50’s before roads were good
4:42 - if hes not watching, i wish he couldve sat back so the lady suddenly got a clear view straight down the road when the bikes were coming.
This is similar to the old footage of the motor racing at Brooklands from the 1930s. In that case it was fast cars close crowds and no safety barriers.
Crazy place.
Hard to believe Giacomo Agostini won GP and TT races, imagine a GP rider competing there now!
6.32 Guy Martin in front of screen.Famous British Biker and now also TV personality.
The TT is the most amazing race on earth and the Isle Of Man is the most amazing place to visit ;)
All the racers are warriors, the ultimate riders...
The old WRC was the best where people would stand on the track and just get out of the way in time, ambition of mine to go to the IoM TT
Yeah, Group B rally was insane
Group B was stupid and rightfully band after just a couple of seasons. It was amazing though
Perfect technique for getting information out of someone without physically harming them.. Tie them to the front of one of these dudes bike and give them a birds eye view of the Isle man course for a minute or so.., then stop and ask them the same question.. Still no luck then tell them that it's 2 or 3 full laps next time.. I'd say that the majority would speak b4 rnd 2..!! ?.. Lol
Riding a motorcycle is totally additive, once you have the bug that's it.
True story...
just have to hope you can build up ur skill meter before your luck meter runs out
I remember when I was about 8 and went out on the back of my dads Honda for the first time (can't remember the model, long time ago now). It felt like we were going a hell of a lot faster than we were. I loved it although he wasn't impressed by my leaning out of the corners!
I know you in other uploads were talking about British accents, check out a road racer by tge name of Guy Martin and see if you can understand him 😅
On another note, Isle of man TT is a time trial, racers set off 10 seconds apart. When you see more than 2 or three close together it's probably one of the other Irish road races NW200 for example, or possibly one of the European ones. No biggy but worth mentioning 👍
