    Never saw the TT races of the Isle of Man myself. This reaction is in honor of 2 of the nicest Manx people I ever met. Marjorie and Jack Ward from Lower Foxdale. They were marshalls during the races for the most years of their life. Marjorie once got badly hurt at an older age being a marshall. Took her a long time to recover. The love for the race remained. I met them on a cruise along the Norwegian coast and we became Friends. When I went to their beautiful Isle to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with them, instead of a present for themselves they favoured a money gift, because they were trying to raise as much money as possible to support the Helicopter Rescueteam of the TT races with 🥰⭐⭐🇮🇲 They are dead now, still love and miss them 💕.

    The Riders in the TT don't do it for the prize, they do it to test themselves against the track.
    One racer said there's a green blur and a grey blur, you try to stay on the grey blur.
    I've also seen one comment that the commenter stated that they thought the TT was the closest to Star Wars Pod Racing you can get to on Earth.
    I chuckled at one reactor who commented that they thought that the Star Wars Pod Racing was based on the TT Race.
    Edit: The TT price is a pittance compared to the other races. Heh try having a shufty at the Sidecar races, whilst not as fast they are even more insane.

    Have property at the 11th milestone of the TT (currently run by my brother). Connor is a true local hero and the TT fortnight is a magical place for anybody who likes their bikes! It is a beautiful island with plenty more going on than just the bikes, and we have good business for the summer season. Guy Martin was glimpsed earlier on - and someone well worth looking more into - his speed attempt series, the Lancaster and the battle of Britain Spitfire pilot ones in particular.

    I'm pleased to see a like minded biker. I've been riding for over 35 years and never had an accident. People make the mistake of treating a bike like it's a toy, they are to the ones who end up in a wheelchair or worse. I took my Kawasaki 750 around Brands Hatch and my butt was chewing the seat the whole time. My sense of self preservation outweighs my need for adrenaline rushes. Keep safe my friend ✌️♥️🇬🇧

And best of all, he owns a Roll Royce Merlin engine, the sort that were used on Lancaster Bombers and Spitfires. Check out anything by Guy Martin. He's photo'd at 7' 13".

    I love listening to your reactions to extreme sports. As a motorcyclist myself since I was 20 years old (66 years young now) we reach a point where we know our limitations, and, as Connor Cummings said, the point when it stops being fun.
    I used to be reckless, and have raced on 4 wheels and navigated in a rally car. I fell off my motorcycles often enough to know that racing would probably kill me.
    I'm of an age where I'm more or less done with extreme thrills, and comfort is more important to me.
    I'm with you now, my friend, happy to let others have the fun, and prepared to be a spectator.
    On her 60th birthday, my partner went free fall skydiving for the first time. I would have probably done that, but had gained weight over the years and would have been over the insurance weight limit, so I wasn't allowed.
    I'm dieting now, because there's a 2 mile zip wire about 30 miles from my house, and I reckon that could be a fun ride to do. Not as risky as high speed motorcycling, but you're strapped on for the ride. What could possibly go wrong?

    I went to the IoM TT in 1985: that's a long time ago now but I have never forgotten it. I did the overnight ferry from Heysham to Douglas with a thousand or three others, decks awash with piss and vomit and salt water and diesel. Riders and pillions came from all four corners of the planet, mostly British (like me ) and German and French and Dutch and Spanish and Russian, and I heard American and Australian and all kinds of accents and languages. I did "Mad Sunday", a sort of free-for-all for anyone who had a bike (I gather it's much less silly nowadays). All in all, if you love riding bikes and you've been to MotoGP events and want something a bit less tame, save up and GO. You will never, ever, forget the experience.

    I've been able to ride bikes for over 40 years without fortunately causing too much damage to the old body, but the riders in the TT are totally in a class of their own. If I was ever able to meet a rider who hammered their rear end around the TT Race circuit I wouldn't be ashamed to kneel at their feet and kiss their boots. One of riders said ' On the track there's a wide green blur on the right a narrower gray blur in the center and another wide green on the left the idea is to stay on the narrow gray bit".

    I go to the Isle of man TT races every single year missed two only and that was because of the pandemic. It is beyond anything you will ever see. The ultimate ride
    MAN ROAD BIKE there's nothing like it. Until you get to the sidecar races and if you think the single riders are nuts you haven't seen this
    The smells it has been going for a very long time and sadly we had deaths this year.
    The Isle of Man TT, the deadliest race on Earth it started way back in 1907, the Isle of Man TT (originally Tourist Trophy - a test for “touring” motorcycles) runs on a unique 37.73 mile Mountain Course. The course consists of public roads specially closed for the event. The TT is always held in the last week of May and the first week of June. It takes balls to do this but WOMEN do it also. Joey Dunlop is my all time favourite rider he had 26 wins until his death in 2000. There is nothing like this. People want it banned but they don't understand because no one forces them they do this willingly and the spectators that hand on the verges over the garden walls it is a one of a kind and that's it they know they could die both the rider and the spectators yet we all still go.

    Dude, Ernest Heminway said it best: the only sports are auto/motorcycle racing, mountain climbing and bull fighting ... all the rest are pastimes.

    What they don't mention is Conner is a Manxman. And the prize money isn't enough to cover the teams bar bill.

    I saw Guy Martin for a moment in this video, I really love that dude🤪
    He has a awesome show (also on youtube I believe) about doing world records of speed in many different ways.
    His channel if you're interested:

    Grew up rural South. The Fathers all bought us dirt bikes because we lived so far apart. There were 8 of us and we knew exactly where the "do not cross" line was 'cause we crossed it...a lot!! We would get cops to chase us for fun. Played Cops & Robbers and to get a "tag" you had to make them wreck (no disputes). We built ramps and were jumping 2 car lengths at 12 y.o. Took farm tractors and built motocross tracks in the fields as soon as crops were in. I bought an XR 650 and had no problems until this woman coming toward me decided to make a left. I did the Superman impression across her hood. Been 4 years and I still "wish her ill". 🏍🚓😉

    I myself have had a Honda MB5 with a 70/11 and a 20 mm. good for 120 km/h. And a Honda MT5 70/6 with a 20mm . 105 km/h. And now a Honda MB8 with a 125. I don't know how fast it will run yet. But you might hear that somewhere?

    You need to watch Peter Hickmans onboard lap record. It's mind boggling , and leaves you exhausted just watching it. I've been to the TT a few times now and still can't explain how special and different it is. You just have to go , then you'll know.

    These are normal roads on the iom.
    As joey said keep it on the grey not on the green.
    Flying down Kate’s cottage at 100+ even as a pillion on open roads is fantastic.
    But the danger is huge.
    The race boys and girls are a different breed and then there’s sidecars.

    Not sure if anyone else may have commented about this, but here it goes.
    An interesting fact is that people that are competing in the TT race don't get paid a lot, the winner gets very little money (maybe even none but not sure).
    So the TT race is all about bragging rights :)

    Just found this channel. Great reaction 👍 I especially like the nice touch with the scrolling message at the bottom. Hope you're doing well, bro 😊
    I think you're the kinda fella that would like Fred Dibnah the Steeple Jack. Very interesting old-school grafter with balls that could knock a chimney down!! 😄

    As someone coming up to 55 this sunday, don't worry about how long you have ridden bikes .. 8,9,10 whatever :)
    If you want something else to react to for the same danger look at free climbing.

      @@alandavies55 I love watching, I don't think I'd have the coordination to be a passenger. I have sidecar racing here in New Zealand, just not as big as in the UK or Europe, I hope some day to go to the Isle of Man, for the TT.
