    great video, I love to see a passengers view and narration of the TT Lap, I raced sidecars back in the 70s as a passenger and a driver, never raced in the IOM, I'm now almost 80 years old and I still miss it

    Probably the best narration of motor racing lap I have ever seen, bike or car. Very informative.

      All I need to know is how do we begin a career being a sidecar copilot? Is there a course? Who do I have to kill? I'll do it for 1 meal a day and a cot under a truck.

    Best sidecar narration ever,. Now I've gotta jump on me 36hp tractor and go flat out @ 11mph to the shops before closing time (I'm out of beer). Dammit, I love sidecars.

    Incredible video, well done John ! It gives you the stomach churning thrill of side car racing at it's best. I would be scared to even blink if I was the rider! Passing is definitely a big challenge .

    John Holden is such a legend...he makes it sound like a walk in the park. nvm that if you dont know every inch of this course you could end up being a statistic in a split second. must be the ultimate adrenaline rush.

    I play on TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge on sidecar, and it's nice to see how to drive correctly. :)

    Balls made of Unobtainium. These guys (and gals) are either the bravest or insanest people on the planet! And they’re not doing it for the money. Most barely make minimum wage, so to speak. Formula one drivers are paid millions to race safety-focussed cars round slow tracks with huge run-off areas. These lads skim drystone walls at insane speeds, risking life and limb (literally) for the sheer thrill of winning.

    if anybody wants to be a sidecar passinger, the que is normally short

    • @theant9821
      @theant9821 Před 7 lety +2

      f preston they are normally insane i reckon. the solo riders and sidecar riders are a bit different to the norm but passengers are the true nutters.
