Ive never seen so many clean shiny bikes. It seems like they've all been cleaned immaculately, mine is never that clean lol. Enjoy bruv it looks peaceful there. Hope to catch up real soon.
Most of them arrived nice and shiny Ray but by the time they left it was a very different story 🙂 Yeah catch you soon buddy 🙂
4:22 Bring on the noise! - along with a bucket of jets & a wobble-pump on a barrel of 100LL . . . Glad your stay wasn't entirely ruined by the conditions; though they did have a good go at it, eh! Maybe printing off some authentic 'Soggy Butt Rally '24' t-shirts could salve the losses a bit : )
You know when you've been Tangoed! 🙂
@@DukeDyson 'Mangoed'? : )
Nice video Sir. Great mix of bikes. I'm over there next week for a bit of sight seeing, hoping for a bit better weather.
You should hopefully be ok with the weather then, it's a beautiful place regardless eh 🙂
Had my SV1000N for over a decade and just haven't found anything I've liked or wanted more. A keeper.
@@tonionparsa I agree completely, I've now owned mine for 14 years 😃
I was very disappointed this year, first the ferry trouble with no interest of the Steam Paket Company. The very, very short races, so we ride läßt time south round incl. Calf. Costrs us a lot money for nearly nothing. Ah the terrible weather, noone could do something against that, of course. Sorry to say, after a lot of wonderful Manxes, never again.
It's a sentiment often repeated Peter, there's no way of hiding what a disappointment it was, partly the weather, partly the revised format! It has not improved since it used to be the "Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling" when the Manx, the Classic and Jurby were three different events under one banner over a two week period, but that's a whole subject on its own eh
Good review. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, it's much appreciated :-)
Thanks for uploading, I wasn't able to get over this year, a very challenging week!
Yes it was a very challenging week for sure!
4:30 - If he'd stayed at periscope depth, no one would've seen him! Burst water-main at Union Mills eh? - "Trouble at mill, t'flay rod's flown off tressle" . . Rotten luck! : )
Impressive stuff, fair play to the operator! Wet belt failure is my guess 🤔
Not sure of the cause buddy, but watching big boy's toys is always impressive eh 🙂
Looks precarious 😮. Not sure I'd be happy with that method of recovery. Looks like something they'd use to remove illegally parked vehicles. Hope you enjoyed the IOM despite the weather. 😊
I've done a bit of lifting and slinging over the years (not vehicles admittedly) and it often looks more precarious than it actually is. IoM was fab, but not the weather eh 😞
Pawn to Queen-four, black resigns . . . 'Good game, good game'! : )
Lmao. Unlucky son. Or has ot broke down. Or has Guy Martin broke down is his superman.
🙂 Poor bugger had broken down Ray. Swift recovery though eh 🙂
I've never seen a recovery like that, here we have a tilt tray truck and just winch the car on. interesting. thx
Quite cool to watch eh Kev 🙂
Haha memories. Used use that exact same setup but on an iveco wagon. Then went onto heavy recovery, dragging artics around on an old twin steer 8 leg Scammell . Hydraulic under lift and two of the most powerful winches ever. Days were so simple then. Nice video, many memories. Hope you’re well brother.
Happy days eh Stan. All good here, I hope all is good with you too brother 🙂
@@DukeDyson All good thanks buddy. Suns out, money in my pocket and the bike off the road!😢😢. Absolutely wounded.😂
Good review, im thinking of getting one of these, currently have a fazer600, although a great bike my knees are not what they used to be and are objecting to the angle to the footpegs. Whats the riding position like on the tdm? I know the answer is to try one, but would like an idea, thanks
I find there's plenty of leg room, but I have a very modest inside leg. As you say; it's best to try one. They're a fantastic all rounder, I've just completed 1000 miles on mine in five days on a trip to the Isle of Man. It happily sat at motorway speeds on the way to the ferry, ragged around the Mountain Course, kept the worst of the weather off, carried all my luggage and still returned good fuel economy, and I have no aches and pains at all 🙂
I have had my TDM 900 for some years now .. I jumped on it for a whizz around the leafy lanes of North Cheshire last Sunday .. it was very easy to ride and one of the most comfortable motorcycles I have ever rode I have no issues with the 3000 rpm engine levels and it runs very smooth on E10 or E5 petrol or a mixture of .. thanx
They're great aren't they 🙂 Cheers for watching

Great video, Mr Dyson. Some really nice scooters there. Although I also ride motorcycles, scooters have won me over. Cooler than people give them credit, faster than they look, confortable and practical. My 6 year old car has 12000 km on the clock (8000 miles) , that's how much I use it after I started riding scooters. Out to dinner, cinema, theater, visiting friends and relatives, it doesn't stop! Nice weather all year round helps. And you can wear whatever you want, it always looks cool. Lola even wears dresses!
Rode one once, IIRC an Li150 (?). Terrifying - knees desperately trying to find something other than each other to cling on to, it soon became a rock & roll lurch-fest of kangaroo like intensity. Gear changes hampered by sloppy cables & rider ineptitude, I played God save the Queen on it's poor gearbox left handed, with it's clutch lever flapping up & down like a manic seal trying semaphore. Thankfully handing it back to it's rather relieved owner, I quietly muttered a most solemn vow : )
I've rode both, i found the 900's more refined, the 850's a lot more raw, nothing wrong with the 900, but i just love my old mk1 850.
I rather agree Michael; the 900 is an excellent machine but my 4TX 850 had something that the 900 doesn't 🙂
Beautiful, evey bike is the miracle. Also the "ordinary" one,'s ! Don't walk to fast. Very much appreciated 👍👍👍
You're quite right Martin, every single one is a marvel and a thing of beauty 🙂
Again some really nice bikes, thx for showing.
There seems to routinely be some interesting stuff at this bike night Kev, some of it quite rare too :-)
Nothing like a goat in the thumbnail to drag me in. Some lovely bikes have shown up. Couldn't help but notice the Ford Capri parked there. I had a JPS 3.0L back in the 80s. I wonder if anyone comes to grief on that gravel car park? Difficult to beat warm summer evenings in England Thanks for showing us around
There certainly is some lovely stuff there, but yes that gravel is quite deep! A great way to spend a summer evening for sure :-)
Beautiful event, bikes, people and accompanied by very nice and subtle guitar sounds🙏✨👌 This goat is very pleased with it.😀
It's a very nice chilled environment for sure. A great way to spend a Monday evening 🙂
0:33 - Oh for that magnificent front end on a bright red Post Office B-B-Bantam-tam-tam-tam'. Complete with 'GPO' leg-shields & some custom leather saddlebags = "Telegram Slam"! : )
Couple of great Nortons there. love the older bikes too.Thanks for showing some cool bikes.
Just sharing what I see Kev, and yes there's some nice stuff there 🙂
Another great video DD, now I know why your trip to the loo took so long!!
So many distractions eh 🙂 It was a great day with great company for sure 🙂
Fantastic event. All this beauty and love for the miracle, that a motorbike is. Thanks for sharing this 👌✨👌✨👌
It's all too good not to share eh Martin 🙂 Cheers for watching
@@DukeDyson I fully agree, and besides that it needs a person with an eye and passion to share it. This is much appreciated too !! 👌✨👌
Diversity eh? - The average Klingon 'dropping by', may well feel that all Earthlings do look the same to them. Then they see the jam-ups of almost identical motorised metal boxes we use for daily transport & wonder. Then they notice the bikes, & smile knowingly, realising that individuals ARE alive & well . . . even down here! : ) Smiling Klingons - a thought for bedtime.
A veritable fantasia of fit, form and function, definitely enough to unfurrow a Klingon's brow 🙂
Excellent 👍
Certainly was an excellent do 🙂
a really cool bike i miss mine it was a black 2004 standard looking except for puig belly pan ... gonna get another soon ...
They're much better than people expect eh. I missed my 850 which is why I bought a 900 🙂
Even a Capri thrown in, bonus! Happy days Dave. 👍✌️❤️
Takes ya back eh 🙂
Nice to see a Zündapp, a rare sight. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Yes rare indeed Trevor, seldom spot one except the occasional WW2 sidecar outfit
Nice to see such an eclectic mix of styles - the XS650 on knobblies certainly looks fun. Can't really understand why pubs change names - unless the original has become offensive in some way, why bother? Renaming to honour famous events or people has always been the norm - 'Wat's drinking hole' becomes 'The Trafalgar' etc. - but to randomly change after centuries of common usage, only goes to screwing up the directions to anywhere when trying to help a stranger. "In two miles turn left at 'The Plough', & once you pass 'The Red Lion, take the next right, left again at 'The Goat', but as no one knows where on Earth that is, just ask for The Malt Shovel." Pub-nav works . . . no batteries required . . . please leave it unmolested - or go get lost! : )
I agree completely; the changing of pub names is a pet peeve of mine. The change is usually instigated by someone completely ignorant of the (sometimes ancient) origins, however on this occasion the change is to revert back to its previous name 🙂
Ah, as I rarely let facts or logic stand in the way of a good rant, I can only apologise to the owners for my confabulatory 'inn'accuracies & congratulate them on their good sense . . . Original name AND a bike night - 'Greatest of all tenants'? : )
@@loddude5706 😃😃
I didn't know about this bike night. That's a good little run out for me, might pop along. 🙂
@@trevorphillips3055 It's very new; well worth a look eh 🙂
I like the so many different bikes.
Me too Kev, for me the variety is one of the best aspects :-)
Zut alors! C'est tres magnifique. ✌️❤️
Mon Dieu! - les 'Veuves Noire's? . . . . . . "Tourne a' droite, Clyde . . ." : )
One of those bikes looked like a Raleigh runabout which was my first ever bike, christ that's going back, I still have a picture of me looking happy with it back in 1973.
Thanks for the enjoyable watch, looks like you found the only sunny day! 🙌🏻
Cheers buddy, when it's sunny it's sunny eh 🙂 but when it's not.....
it is a shame Suzuki doesn't have this kind bike available as new anymore. Great video mate. I enjoyed. Cheers.
I agree completely, particularly given the current interest in unfaired roadsters. It was dropped due to emission struggles but they've managed to make it work in the VStrom; a new SV would be great eh 🙂 Cheers for watching
@@DukeDyson You are welcome bro. I agree about the new SV. I had the 3rd gen and it was a great bike. Can check my videos... have plenty of the SV stuff among others. :) Cheers.
The tdm was my first "big boy bike" after passing my test. Ive had others alongside it as weekend bikes and toys but the tdm is still my go to every day as a workhorse. I just cant seem to kill the thing.
They're great aren't they 🙂
