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.
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 😄👍
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.
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.
Heros just born , you can't create them ... they are still in their own real what they live for . Dont try to understand . They still Love what they're doing . Respect them , or dont watch . All of my Respect to their loved Family . I dont need it , But I respect it , Love never Die
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 .😎🏍️
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.
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.
Also check out Road warriors Irish Road Racing . They are mass starts not a time trial. So a lot more close racing . They also run in the rain ,unlike the TT .
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.
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 🤯
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.
This is a slow lap for the fans, waving to them and popping wheelies here and there. Here is Peters record lap ruclips.net/video/31RZ5wU-Fg0/видео.html
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
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.
Races start on a Saturday after a weeks practice. Main classes - superbike (tricked 1000cc) , superstock (less tricked) supersport (600cc) and sidecars. 37.73 miles through streets and roads. Been a dozen times - it’s amazing. ❤❤
this is his for the fans P.R lap not full throttle yet that was his next on board lap that is the record lap he is only playing around just imagine what he does to the record lap its stunning to see the lap he recorded onboard i lost count how many times he had the front wheel off the road
Jenny Tinmouth is the first and only female to have raced in the British Superbike Championship, she is the female lap record holder at the Isle of Man TT at 119.945mph and is proud to hold two Guinness World Records for these achievements.
Didn't you watch Peter Hickman explain about this lap at the beginning,?, as this isn't his record lap, this was a demonstration lap, he wasn't even trying on this lap, most of the time he was pulling wheelies on purpose just for the fans.
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...
This was not his record breaking lap it was a demonstration lap done one evening. Since this video has been made there is a video of his record breaking lap in 2023, average speed, yes average speed of 136plus mph.
There is a grey blur and a green blur I try stay on the grey blur ! The one and only Joey Dunlop #3 .Uncle of Micheal Dunlop who this year beat his uncles long standing record of 25 wins this year to 29 wins ! 🏍️😎
was a demo lap not a record lap .... sill fecking insane though lol for instance @2:40 he slows way early no point risking anything on sharp bends for a demo may as well let it eat on the windy corners
I can’t believe you haven’t picked up on the power of the BMW and the raw power he has to push the front end down and at times it’s all on the back wheel 💥💥💥.. and fighting that at such speed and to be the senior TT time record holder.. Need I say more !!!
My first experience of the IOM TT was in a simulator with a slippy bench seat. We got tossed about like a pea in a can lmao😂 Been hooked on it ever since Im hoping the likes of Redbull will make a full VR video
people travel to this island to watch the race for 2 weeks, don't you think they would wanna watch any lap they can, the race goes through 4 towns and most of the island
you are dead right ! the bikes do wheelie a lot but it is mostly down to the bumps on the road and the fact that they are only geared for a 230 mile per hour top speed !!!!
Why didn't you watch his intro to his video? Explanation from The Man himself. Baffling. Edit - Footslip part shows you did, why talk the other nonsense then. Takes away from your video somewhat in my opinion.
@AmericanMotorsportsFan Just that when you introduced it as his record lap and such, he clearly explained it was a demo. To some it might give a negative impression, or make those watching for the first time think that. Just an opinion lad. No apologies needed at all. Be well, cheers from Scotland 🍻
Yeah muscle memory they don't need to see They know exactly where they are on track and where they need to be 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 Their like all sport people at the peak of their game unbelievable skilled Cheers mat3 🦘🇦🇺👍

He looked at his foot to see if he could see any oil on the boot.

This was just a demonstration lap, you want to watch the on board lap record.
That "piss cup" is most likely a brake fluid reservoir.
It is indeed the front brake fluid reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir for the rear brake is down near his ankle.
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.
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
Races start on a Saturday after a weeks practice. Main classes - superbike (tricked 1000cc) , superstock (less tricked) supersport (600cc) and sidecars. 37.73 miles through streets and roads. Been a dozen times - it’s amazing. ❤❤

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.
Talking about wheelies, according team analytics the front wheel is in the air for about 2 miles every circuit
He saved the front Wheel so much , ;) Just Hickman , no one could ride This bike like He did .
I’m sure Micheal Dunlop would beg to differ ! Or McGuinness !
Jenny Tinmouth is the first and only female to have raced in the British Superbike Championship, she is the female lap record holder at the Isle of Man TT at 119.945mph and is proud to hold two Guinness World Records for these achievements.
a race lap would be faster and more comitted you should visit next year have a look at peoples reaction from trackside
Agreed. Laxey AFC is a great place to stay.
Didn't you watch Peter Hickman explain about this lap at the beginning,?, as this isn't his record lap, this was a demonstration lap, he wasn't even trying on this lap, most of the time he was pulling wheelies on purpose just for the fans.
I did not since there wasn't a lot to react to in that. So I skipped ahead. Sorry.
The road is maintained every year,,,as you can imagine 🏴🤟
Yellow flag was for a sidecar. that's why it's so late into the evening.
The mental focus that you MUST have with no room at all for error must be exhausting.
One lap,and I’d be done.
Balls AND brains of steel.
Have ridden the tt course , most laps I did was 2 , I was mentally and physically shattered !
How about a lap in a car?
Mark Higgins Full record breaking POV TT lap

there's green on one side, green on the other and grey in the middle, I try to stay on the grey
There is a grey blur and a green blur I try stay on the grey blur ! The one and only Joey Dunlop #3 .Uncle of Micheal Dunlop who this year beat his uncles long standing record of 25 wins this year to 29 wins ! 🏍️😎
26 wins !no glasses 😆
This is not his in race lap record.
This is a slow evening practice lap. No where near race speed
was a demo lap not a record lap .... sill fecking insane though lol
for instance @2:40 he slows way early no point risking anything on sharp bends for a demo may as well let it eat on the windy corners
That’s the front brake fluid pot
I guess in the end of this demo lap he still have a good front tire because the front wheel was 90% of the ground the entire lap😅
I can’t believe you haven’t picked up on the power of the BMW and the raw power he has to push the front end down and at times it’s all on the back wheel 💥💥💥.. and fighting that at such speed and to be the senior TT time record holder..
Need I say more !!!
Its all on trottle control lmao
Subbed
Thank you so much for the support!!!
This is a practice lap where he averaged 118mph. His quickest time averaged 136mph.
My first experience of the IOM TT was in a simulator with a slippy bench seat. We got tossed about like a pea in a can lmao😂 Been hooked on it ever since Im hoping the likes of Redbull will make a full VR video
Was that in Douglas, I remember going in that, back in 2002! Steve Parrish's lap if I remember right.
@@mattmid7012 Longleat safari park Ive no idea who the rider was it was a long time ago
@@Ghillie__DhuAh ok. Probably the same machine.
You need to watch the fastest ever lap of the isle of man tt that's an onboard pov it's insane
For safety reasond riders start at 10 second intervals. He's not really alone.
On this lap he was, this was a BMW H4 RACE demo lap. Outside of the race and practice schedule
You don't have to be insane to take part but it helps.
people travel to this island to watch the race for 2 weeks, don't you think they would wanna watch any lap they can, the race goes through 4 towns and most of the island
Hilberry wall is a great place to watch, and many many more.
Looks like the front wheel only made contact with the road 25% of the time.
Brake fluid reservoir is the little piss pot near his hand.
Ahhh that makes so much more sense now. Thank you.
@@AmericanF1FanYour welcome. Have a good day mate 👍🏻
That cup is brake fluid resivor
Watch Hicky at Macau GP
Trust me this would be alot faster on his prepaid bike.
What you show is a slow practice lap.
This is his record lap in race ruclips.net/video/31RZ5wU-Fg0/видео.htmlsi=wY5llpl6FWVyoEev
that is a practice lap not the race
t!he piss cup is the brake reservoir for the front brakes
When he looks at his foot he just checks that there is no oil coming out the bike
front brake fluid tank
you are dead right ! the bikes do wheelie a lot but it is mostly down to the bumps on the road and the fact that they are only geared for a 230 mile per hour top speed !!!!
This was only a demo lap
No pot holes
Manhole covers, though
Why didn't you watch his intro to his video? Explanation from The Man himself.
Baffling.
Edit - Footslip part shows you did, why talk the other nonsense then. Takes away from your video somewhat in my opinion.
I did but, I talked too much during it. So I cut it out. Sorry
@AmericanMotorsportsFan Just that when you introduced it as his record lap and such, he clearly explained it was a demo.
To some it might give a negative impression, or make those watching for the first time think that.
Just an opinion lad. No apologies needed at all.
Be well, cheers from Scotland 🍻
And the race is 10 laps.
Senior TT is 6 laps
@@michaeloates5804 and the others are 4 (superstock supersport suptwins and side by sides)
No TT race is 10 laps. The longest is the Senior, which is 6.
Isn't is fastest lap average of 133 mph around the tt ? Average !!
136.358 mph. Hickman last year.
Yeah muscle memory they don't need to see
They know exactly where they are on track and where they need to be
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
Their like all sport people at the peak of their game unbelievable skilled
Cheers mat3 🦘🇦🇺👍
