    This wasn't race speed he's just having fun on a relaxed practice lap. Course has a lot of crests and bumps that will easily assist torque wheelies even in the higher gear. Edit "piss cup" is front brake fluid container.

    @deansigman6099 6 месяцев назад +4

    This was his demo lap. He was doing wheelies for fun and having a good time. Think somewhere he stated that his overall time on this was about 80% of his actual time. Agree you need to check out his onboard lap record and Irish Road Racing. Both are great to watch.

    This was just a demo lap as other people have said . He’s averaging about 120 mph on this lap last year he averaged 136+ mph . A new lap record . It’s on You tube mind blowing stuff . Peter is just having fun you can see him look to his left at 20.08 at his shadow as he’s wheeling going over the mountain .😎🏍️

  • @meanlean3095
    @meanlean3095 6 месяцев назад +3

    The average speed of this lap was approximately 118mph but peters record is approximately 136mph on the full lap, this was just child’s play to Peter…
    Great reaction yet again 😄👍

    The little pee cup on the right is the brake fluid reservoir, Hickman was clocked at doing 218 mph, as the top speed ever recorded at the TT. It's an amazing spectacle, I have family at Port Erin on the island, I've seen the race several years.

  • @greygreen5610
    @greygreen5610 6 месяцев назад +5

    this isn't his record lap, it's a demo lap, he wasn't even going full speed, his record lap was the 3rd lap in the race he took part in

  • @aidancrowley9452

    That "piss cup" is most likely a brake fluid reservoir.

    • @EliDowns114
      @EliDowns114 6 месяцев назад +1

      It is indeed the front brake fluid reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir for the rear brake is down near his ankle.

  • @chrisparti
    @chrisparti 6 месяцев назад +2

    The 'piss cup' is the front brake fluid reservoir 😂 This lap was 2 minutes slower than the lap record, I can't imagine what the lap record lap looked like! I don't think he's wheelieing as much as you think. Because he's wearing a chin camera, when he scoots back on the seat and dips his head down for better aerodynamics, it looks like the handlebars are coming up as if wheelieing. He is wheelieing more than he want to because of the power and the bumps on the road, but that is all part of the TT course. A lot of riders use a thumb rear brake to use to help stop the bike wheelieing. They can keep the throttle pinned and just dab it bring the front wheel down without losing too much speed. That last little 'hairpin' section of the lap that you liked, is the only section of road that is closed to the public and only used for the races, hence it is really slippery in there, so riders go through there very cautiously.

    I used to have a KTM superbike, the RC8R, and even just out on the road with regular tires, regular engine mapping, it was mind-bending how much power she put out. Then out on the track, road bits removed, slicks on, mapping and tuning....... not something I can put into words 🤯

  • @eddiec1961
    @eddiec1961 6 месяцев назад +2

    Good reaction thanks, this demo lap would be even better if viewed through a VR headset, he was looking at his foot because he thought he had an oil leak, this was the latest he had been out for a lap hence the sun problems. Take care.

  • @Mouse2222
    @Mouse2222 6 месяцев назад +3

    Hi, wheelies do slow you down but as others have stated this was not the fastest lap this was a demo/show lap and the holder on the handlebars is for the front brake fluid, his fastest lap is another video

  • @nicksykes4575
    @nicksykes4575 6 месяцев назад +2

    This demo lap took place in the evening after one of the sidecar races, and the yellow flag was being waved cause there was a broken-down sidecar outfit on the left-hand side, waiting to be recovered.

  • @1998TDM

    The bit where he stays up against the rev limiter is Sulby Straight. You would have to go to a salt flat to hear a superbike WFO, in top, for longer.

  • @Cashcrop54
    @Cashcrop54 5 месяцев назад +1

    In the description he describes everything about the lap. The majority of wheelies was him having fun. They were on purpose. This is the second of of 2 demo laps. When the pros are not on the track practicing or racing the public is allowed to go onto the circuit and ride with no speed limits.

  • @crabbit101
    @crabbit101 6 месяцев назад +1

    The track is well maintained and sections are resurfaced when required. There are some (e.g. Ginger Hall) that are in good condition but still bumpy. They won’t be changing that anytime soon because it’ll become a different track.

  • @LS-uv9gg
    @LS-uv9gg 6 месяцев назад +1

    An interesting thing that virtually all car guys (and even quite a few bike guys) don't know, is these liter bikes all do well over 100mph in first gear, right off the showroom floor. When it looks like he is going slower and the gear indicator is showing any number over 1, it kinda sends a shiver up my spine to think about that. We've all pulled into a small town after being on the highway for a while, and you think you are about to fall over you're going so slow, only to look down at your speedo to see you are still doing like 60, lol. I can't even image how slow 100 feels after doing over 200...

    To make the next corner as their got markers they use could be a certain tree a line on the road
    Many things so they know have to break or lean the bike they way they need to go
    Also your eye's filter the light better as well
    With camera you can't pick out objects but you eye's can even in blinding light
    But definitely not easy these guys are season riders been around the course hundreds of times
    Thats why they race later in the day
