The rider with the Kiwi on his helmet was Bruce Anstey who comes from New Zealand. He has been forced to miss a few recent TT's because he had cancer but happily he has managed to beat it and has started to race in selected races again.
One of the finest riders in the sport.
I think it was actually Connor Cummings??..it said so in the commentary I think??
@@thesunreport His name is Conor Cummins and no, they've included a shot of Bruce Anstey. If you look at 06:30 you'll see Conor's helmet, different colours and there's no kiwi.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 fair enough..yeah was just pointing out Conor's presence as the people who were watching are from NZ and I though he was too and thought they might like to know that.
@@thesunreport No worries. Conor is a Manxman though, born and bred on the Isle of Man. I believe he owns and runs one of the finest coffee shops on the island - great pizza too, I'm told.
Hey Guys, Team TT had such a laugh watching your reactions to this TT footage.
The Isle of Man is a small Island located between England and Ireland (Near enough slap bang in the middle), the racing takes place for 2 weeks, the first week being a practice week and the second week being the racing week. During this period the Islands 85k population triples and visitors from all over the world come and watch, including NZ!
Great video and we hope you get to visit the racing for yourselves one day!
Always wanted to ride in the TT but due to health issues I can't drive atm
What city/town do they depart from to get to the isle of man? and are most of the competing visitors privateers?
@@smellyhippi The quickest way to Isle of Man from England is a Ferry crossing from Liverpool. But you can get flights from most major airports in the UK to Isle of Man.
@@Perktube1 Yes yes...
@@jamieeedden777 Always wanted to be cool. But I do hate abbrevs. WTF is atm? How hard is it to write three beep words? Curse!
The guy you thought you recognised early on was Guy Martín, a veteran racer who has finished on the podium 17 times at the TT, breaking his back twice on the circuit. He retired in 2017, and I believe he’s now a TV presenter. One who lived the dream and also lived to tell the tale!
Guy Martin has balls of solid granite.
Stop telling lies lad
He is a legend
he is indeed a TV presenter now. All about mechanical things (Vulcan, land speed record vehicles etc).
@@billybarr7443 whom?
6:15 "I recognize him". That's Guy Martin. He tried for the world land speed record on a motorcycle in 2016, and I believe he is going to attempt it again this year. He holds a number of world records (I saw a television series where he got together a team of engineers to build carbon fiber gravity racers, a racing bicycle etc to break records in. Has absolutely no fear).
Check the video on Guy Martin racing in the TT of Man. There is a whole documentary on that, and Guy Martin is soooooo funny!
he's been broken up to hell and he still pushes on and recovers
Guy Martin is my favorite of them racers, to me he seems the most genuine, just loves racing, the rest of them are typical polished up corporate racers if you will. Guy, stay dirty! All the best to the man.
Guy Martin's a legend. You may need subtitles, though.
The show pony has never won a TT Race...Hutchy is who I most admire, to come back from his injury(foot all but removed),to win 5 races, only one of 4 to manage that feat!
One of the top TT riders, Joey Dunlop, said about riding in the race, "There's a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to keep it on the grey blur." The top speed they attain is over 200mph!
gosh a airplane takes of at 200mph!
Well done for repeating the most overused comment on CZcams 👍
@@lawrenceb8800 I know right its insane the speeds that these bikes get up to. Im absolutely obsessed with the TT i cant get enough of it. The average speed per lap for one of the highest class bikes is 135mph... and thats over a 37.7 mile lap.... absolute pure insanity
@@lawrenceb8800 Airplanes take off at lower speeds than that mate, most modern airliners rotate at roughly 130-140 knots (depending on all up weight) which equates to 150-160 MPH.
Pity he didn't keep it on the grey blur though eh? RIP Joey.
"TT Closer to the Edge" is the definitive documentary on the TT.
Its like having wings and being able to fly 👌
it is the best tt doc i watched that
@@paulmcdonough1093 Yes it isz especially when it ends with Guy Martin blasting off too Kasabian 🤘🤘😍😍
Brilliant documentary 👏
The one for me is: Flying⚡Doctor ~R.I.P.~ Dr.✜John☘Hinds✔ ✅ . The_Fastest Road Racing Doctor,
Gives a different look, not in a bad way
Welcome back world, we missed you. Have a safe and sunny TT 2022, if you're coming.
Mucho love and respect to "the flying kiwi", I hope he's getting better.
That was wonderful. I could see the apprehension of the lady at the start. She was drawn in as she experienced more of the excitement of the race. As they say themselves, it's totally voluntary, no-one makes them compete. It's incredible. Just ordinary down-to-earth guys, the nicest people you could meet. Take a look at their interviews, they don't claim to be super-stars
The rider with the kiwi on his lid, is your fellow countryman Bruce Anstey. A true TT legend.
I live on the Isle of Man! Can I just say that the island is so worth a visit even out of TT and MGP times because it’s such a beautiful place
Do they ever say on the local news how much beer gets drunk over the TT??...my guess is 50 million billion trillion pints.......per day.
It certainly is a beautiful island been there many times as our daughter and family live there just love it
That's a bucket list destination for sure. I would love to watch those guys riding on the razors edge around that course.
I `m wanting to go there now for about 10 years. Moved to the UK 3 years. This year, if it is going, i`m definitely coming.
someday I want to go to your island on my suzuki chopper... not to race... not even on raceweeks... just to see the place without too many people...
There are a load of Guy Martin documentaries attempting and in some cases gaining world speed records in all manner of transport types -: Vans, bicycle, man powered planes, salt-flat custom motorbike, electric cars and others. Guy is also a good mechanic and has helped restore some special things. Look him up if you saw the spitfire thing you will know him and realise he is a working class guy. A hero to a lot of people.
What a fabulous reaction video! How lovely to see a family experiencing together, and all contributing in such an enthusiastic way. And what a lovely family too! So nice to see respectful and loving people sharing time together as a family! Bless you all, I will certainly check out your other videos now. Best wishes from a British grandfather!
I did 170 mph on a R1 back when I was younger and I've never felt the need to ever go that fast again lol these people are indeed a different breed.
I track ride and 150 is fast enough for me
I clocked 150 in the 80s on a gpz 1100 for those times that was quick enough, taking my zzr1400 this year so should be interesting on the mountain... 👍
@@bollixful I went on a well sorted 350LC in the 80's. While going flat out over the mountain a fella came past me on a GPZ1100 like I was going backwards , wasn't you was it ?
It stuck with me so hard my next bike was a GPZ. Take care on that ZZR mate.
176 on a ZX-12R when I was much younger and dumber.
171 gsxr 1000 k6 , enough for me 💩
When they pass you it’s not just the sound, it’s the wake,the heat from the engine, the smell
And that is why bikers love biking. Riding yourself, even touring, gives you exactly that.
Bikers are a different breed. I mean, who would straddle and machine with a red hot engine and 20litres of highly flammable liquid between their legs and ride at break neck speeds.
I love it 😀
@@voornaam3191 can confirm^^ nothing better than the sound and smell of a 2 stroke singing and railing a turn wide open
Can imagine it's the same on these road bikes but my family won't let me get one as they think I will race it haha
I like how both the parents look at their son accusingly every now and then like "don't get any idea boy".😂
Lovely family.
But they forget that their daughter could easily be a better racer than her brother. Why not? Why are people so bloody oldfashioned?!
@@voornaam3191 You again?!
And again, about the daughter? You will never do that again.
That crash Guy Martin had really showcases how amazing the airbag kit is, probably the only reason he's alive and able to carry on. So many cases from this race that showcase it too, it's saved more lives then the course has taken since it's inception.
When I was stationed in Germany I went to the IoMTT in 2005, an experience that I'll never forget.
I have a package I'm mailing out tomorrow for Denzel. I know he is fascinated with the US Military. I won't say anymore, I don't want to ruin the surprise. I hope it reaches you without troubles. Be looking for it.
Denzel is due for a package after Atlanta got the baking love. Good on you friend!
I have been gathering up stuff aswell. In waiting tell April to send. My friends bday is coming up and we’re all gonna be getting togeather. Gonna get stuff from all around. I don’t want to have him miss out on anything
@@Cubs-Fan.10 that was the whole reason for sending it. I felt bad for the little guy.
What first and last name of the family? When I tryd to send a package toe post office said I need it in order to ship ?
@@billyhawk2845 You shouldn't need a name just the PO box number. I do know you have to have a return address. I don't understand why they would say that.
Your correct the hump that's integrated into their suits was initially designed for aerodynamics and it does increase top speed. Later designs incorporate water blatter's like a Camel Back, team communications systems and cooling systems. I did a little racing when I was younger but obviously never this good and before racing leathers were this advanced. 😊
if I remember correctly, the hump on the back of their suit isnt for aerodynamics, its to keep them from breaking their neck in a crash.
glad to see that Our Guy is recognised even in New Zealand, he is something of a worldwide fan favourite xD he has so many achievements and a couple of world records to his name but Guy is still the most down to earth person you will ever meet, true salt of the earth.
Yep. It's to stop over extension of the neck if they land face first.
@@ianmarsden1130 or padding to stop their head snapping back if they land backwards?
@@AnikaJarlsdottr That may be the case too but it was definitely designed to stop the back of the helmet breaking the neck when the jaw hits the ground.
@@ianmarsden1130 either way, its a useful and important piece of the protective gear that these bikers wear. the Isle of Mann TT is a truely taxing combination of timetrial and endurance and based just on the damage our Guy recieved from the races, its vital.
@@AnikaJarlsdottr True words mate.
I think Denzel was completely hypnotized by these motorcycles. Now that’s a great reaction!😵💫😁
As was I, as a youngling. Led to a lifetime riding and racing them.
I actually was going to do the Isle of Man in one of the vintage classes a few years ago, but blew my shoulder and back out at work.
Not everything on your bucket list can be achieved, unfortunately.
🇮🇲 👈🏾 Isle of Man (flag)
Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
That's how u involve kids into the sport
Denzel? He just got 5 times paler. The girls face was far more funny. Like, what, are they sitting THAT close to the road? ON the road?! "Can he still WALK?!"
@@voornaam3191 Im sure you were not watching just girls "face",isent that so, Voor Naam?
Youre already done.
"The Road" is an amazing documentary about this race and the Dunlop family. I highly recommend it.
An earlier movie about IoMTT was called "V4 Victory," and it included a camera mounted on Joey Dunlop's Senior bike for a lap around the course, with Joey narrating it later on. It was a truly inspiring (and sometime's frightening) experience. Of course, many times it was nearly impossible to make out what he was saying, due to his brogue!
i found that in a store a few weeks ago, £1.25 for a dvd, possibly the best £1.25 ive ever spent.
I've watched this dozens of times and it still blows my mind how the riders even stay on their bikes.
A pleasure watching you all react to it.
You're a lovely little family, and I wish you rainbows, from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The hump on the back of their leathers is for aerodynamics, and it also holds things like a water bladder and electronics for data collection (everything on GP motorcycles are tied to computers,) as well as the electronics to trigger air-bladders for protection after crashes. The IoMTT used to be an annual part of the FIM Motorcycle Grand Prix (predecessor to MotpGP,) but in 1976, due to safety concerns and boycotts by factory riders, it was removed from the Grand Prix circuit.
I thought the hump on the back was the air bag
Oh the memories... My Dad held the land speed record for a 600cc for 2 mins 43 seconds... Then he got passed and lost it haha... But it was pretty exciting for those 2 mins
Omg stop telling lies lad
@@billybarr7443 a lie would be my dad held it for years... No he barely got it... Like by 0.5 mph and then a couple mins later the dude who purpose built a bike for that crushed my dad by like 60-70mph. But for two short mins he unofficially held it... But when other dude crushed him it became a moot point
They have a sidecar version of this race as well. Check IT out.
If you thought that Senior TT riders were crazy then the sidecar passengers will open your eyes. :)
From New Zealand and noticed guy Martin, good memory! He's had some offs and been lucky but a legend! Think he settled down and his now wife isn't comfortable with him racing. Beautiful family...reminds me of my past. Much love the UK!
The documentary is called "Closer to the edge" and filmed during the 2010 TT when Conner and Guy crashed.
American here. I've been to the Isle of Man but missed the TT. My GG grandparents were Manx and I took the trek over here to the land of some of my ancestors. Beautiful place.
Reminds me of the morning commute in Boston. Thanks family. You always make my day.
The homemade spectator reactions were brilliant. The enjoyment these heroes bring to others makes me fill with joy
The daughter 😂😂😂😂 100% pure shock in her eyes!!! The son with the little smirk. 😂😂😂
You can actually say that Isle of Man TT is Earth's version of Star Wars' Pod Racing because like Pod Racers, cyclists maneuvering curves and turns at high rate of speeds.
Pod Racing? Never actually thought of it that way! Such a brilliant description. I’ll be borrowing that one. 👍
@@simonatkinson1107 You are not as bright as Rowan, are you? Of course this is similar to those Pod Racers. Even I think of it this way. There are bikes with a helicopter engine, already. Twice the power of these piston engines. Wish the rules allowed these.
What perplexes me is the amount of trust these riders put into: Their machine, their mechanics, the engineers of all the bolts and rubber compounds and brake discs...so many things have to not break or go wonky...it's literally your life on the line for pretty much every second of this event. And that's before even considering the road conditions.
It does happen that parts break. Robert Dunlop had a bad crash some years back when the hub of his rear wheel collapsed. The result of that crash was that they started x-raying the wheels to make sure there isn't any bubbles or other flaws in the metal before they go out and are sold in the shops.
You’re wife and daughters faces are priceless but then your son has a look of ambition 😂
An ambition of getting himself killed on a road bike one day...
So great that the whole family is involved in this. Can you imagine actually being there up close? To smell, feel and see it.
I rode motorcycles for 50+ years and seeing the Isle of Man race has always been a dream of mine.
Stop telling lies lad
Loved watching the kids heads tilt the direction of the motorcycle in the first person cam view!
That's funny. I missed that the first time around because I was too busy watching the bikes and had to go back to watch those parts a 2nd time.
@LikesBikes77 Howe I often watch a lot twice through, I get engrossed jn the video, and forget to watch reactions
The rider with the kiwi on his helmet was not Conor Cummins, but a New Zealand rider called Bruce Anstey. Bruce is not only a T.T legend, he is also one of the nicest guys in the paddock.
I got to go see the TT races once it was once in a life time experience that i want to go again. If you think the bikers are mad, you should see the sidecars going round that track!
We sat on a hair pin turn of the track just so we could get a slower clear view of the riders. Got some amazing photos that way.
Oh that was great loved the expressions on the kids faces thanks new Zealand family .
I lived on IOM in the 60s , witnessed 3 deaths. The race is absolutely mental beyond belief.
That New Zealand mom is so symphatetic. She seems so kind.
John Britton had 2 of his bikes on the isle of Mann. Sadly one of his riders died. If you don’t know John Britton is on my list of coolest kiwis along with Burt Munro.
Also in the shots where you see 3 riders jockeying for position. The Isle of Mann is a tinned race so the back rides is between 1 and 2 minutes ahead.
I really recommend watching the documentary on John Britton. He is such an amazing guy. The house he built is amazing. Sadly we lost him to cancer.
Hello my New Zealand family
Just watched your video on the Isle of Man TT road race.
My husband and I watch this every year on TV the Isle of Man is an island of the west coast of the Uk in the Irish Sea. I remember seeing Connor Cummings crash live on Tv even on Tv it’s scary to watch the whole week of racing
And yes Sam Guy Martin was in a spitfire documentary he also races at my local track in Scarborough called Oliver’s mount race track
The most famous racer was Joey Dunlop who had 26 TT wins look for a video on him his nephew still rides the TT now ( Micheal Dunlop) nice to see you react to other things than the USA
I have to say, Nadine, your skin looks flawless. It’s actually glowing.
Hello from Missouri USA. The guy at the end of the video looked like he was questioning his choice of sitting there when the bike flew by. You are a beautiful family have a blessed day
This is excellent. Your reaction is priceless.
It's not just something you see. You feel the bike go by. It's like a shock to the senses.
Just thinking about it gets my heart moving a little faster.
Yes ...I'm in South Carolina in the U.S. and I'm going to plan a trip just to see those guys. I wrote you all about this a couple of weeks ago. You have to look up Guy Martin and Michael Dunlop. They race almost a hole 35 mile lap side by side. I'm a rider and a Rossi fan. But Moto gp as very different from the Irish road racing and the isle of man. Sorry so long I'm just excited you did the video about it.
Look up race up pikes peak lots of videos it's insane
czcams.com/video/LU-ynRoqDEs/video.html
My local circuit 👍
@@ofark2764 Wow that's so awesome. I wish we had organized road racing .
@@dancing_on_glass46 many circuits here, very close to home.
The Northwest 200.
Cookstown 100.
Ulster Gran Prix.
and some smaller aswell..
Enjoy if you come across them.
Many great irish rallying vids also.
❤️
@@dancing_on_glass46 37.73 mile lap, and the race distance can be anywhere from one lap (TT Zero) up to 6 laps (Senior and Superbike TT's)
This race is a bucket list item for me. When you go to spectate, you spend the whole time camping in tents, the hotels are all taken for years ahead of time. Yes, that was Guy Martin. Hailee Deegan is enjoyable Nascar and Nascar Truck CZcams content.
Same, bucket list for me as well buddy, one day for sure.
I ride a motorcycle year round and have for years. I crashed once and broke multiple ribs, my hip, cracked my pelvis and had a collapsed lung. After I healed up I got back on my bike and started riding again. I’m not a racer. Just a run of the mill motorcycle rider. The racers you saw are indeed cut from different cloth than us normal people. The amount of concentration and focus these guys need to complete this race is super human. I know what it’s like to crash a bike and then get back on one after you heal up. If you don’t love it, you can’t do it.
I remember my eldest brother, who was in the RAF was a big motor GP fan. He once on leave, took me with him, while on holiday to the Isle of Man TT races. it was the most surreal experience ive ever see. The speeds were absolutely incredible . So much memories.. Thanks for sharing.
This race and spending a day at the Mach Loop in Wales are two things that have been on my bucket list for a long time. Pure speed and insanity. Nothing makes a grown man giggle like a little kid like the sound of ridiculously fast machines zipping by faster than you can turn your head.
Stuck at home during this ice storm in Texas, but enjoying watching your videos! Keep Doing You!!!
The little boy's face is like " My family may be shocked...but I WANT TO DO THAT !! "
The man you recognized was Guy Martin.
And you were both correct. The hump is hardened to help support your back and help when you slide. It's a bigger aerodynamics device, as going those speeds you can get ripped off the bike, if wind caught the interior of the riding suit.
Top fuel dragsters, if you can see them in person in New Zealand they're truly bucketlist. Their true power can only be felt firsthand, causing you to blackout for a split-second at take-off....
Adding my reply mainly to attract attention to your post. I agree 100% and have driven a BB/FC many times and I still get a rush watching others do it. Would love to see a couple of Top Fuel guys show up on one of those street racers TV shows.
the guy with a kiwi on the helmet is bruce anstey. he is a legend in the game from new zealand.
Conner Cummins just scored 2 x podiums 2022...great bloke,much admired!(2010 crash guy).
I love the look of concern on your little lad's face all the way through that, ha haaa.
As crazy as this sounds, I would love to do this one day! Lol. I love me some dangerous speed but, let’s all be honest, these boys are insane!
I went there out of season, the place is magnificent, I took my motorcycle round the circuit once, never got close to those guys, they have testicles made of solid brass at least a foot in diameter,
it's all about.. FREEDOM!!¡!!!!!!!!!
Its a beautiful place, I was there in its heyday as a holiday resort in 1936, I was almost 4 but remember it. The donkey rides on the strand,amusements,my big brother brought me on the" mountain slide" remember seeing groups of rabbits or were they hares sitting around in the fields at sunset,a magical place, or was it cos I was so young. Not so popular as a resort now since foreign trips became so popular, mores the pity, would love to go visit again, love motor bikes, but I'm now an 90 year old little girl,with balance problems, damn it I will go next year,I can only fall,and the grounds not far away since I broke my back I'm only 4 ft10 inches tall. wider than I'm tall
I've never heard of this motorcycle race! Thank you so much for showing it. Got my heart pumping that's for sure. Scary....but absolutely thrilling!
There's a CZcams video called 'The Greatest Show on Earth' very much worth watching though the original creator lost the copyright.
It's actually an extremely old race, the first race was in 1907, and up until 1976, it was an official round on the FIM Motorcycle World Champion Grand Prix circuit. However, due to safety concerns and a boycott by many factory riders in 1976, the race became a stand alone event, not a part of the Grand Prix.
Watch Closer To The Edge if you get chance. Even if John McGuiness called it "The Guy Martin Show" it's still worth a look 🤣
Its a common misconception that breaking your back means you won't be able to walk again when in fact its severing or partially severing your spinal column that causes paralysis. You can in fact break your back or neck without damaging the spinal column
Actress and singer Samantha Barks is from the Isle of Man. She was in the movie Les Miserable.
My late wife fractured her spine in four places in a car accident and gratefully she was not paralyzed, though she died 4 years later due to complications. I stated that in response to Atlantas query.
The thing on his back is body armor. I ride motorcycles. My jacket has body armor on my back, chest, shoulders, and arms just in case something happens
Nope, the hump is to improve the aerodynamic profile.
Such a beautiful family...keep the video's coming!
Your daughters face sums this race up. Crazy , fearless , emotional on wrapped up in one blank look.
You Kiwi's are very,very similar in your ways to us,the way you all look and live as a family.Apart from the accent,I could have just as easy been watching a video from one of my neighbours over here in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.This is definitely the positive side of social media,the fact that all this is possible,and it's made so relatively easy for us.
Really great to see you all reacting to the TT races! All the best to you and your family,you've just got my subscription!
Edit:Also,if you like Formula One,check out New Zealander Bruce McLaren, who originally became a Grand Prix Racing Champ with Cooper's team(UK)but then went on to setting up his own Team McLaren in the 60's which is still a mega successful formula 1 Team to this day.
Bruce McLaren,apart from being a gifted driver,was also an excellent engineer.
Both your kids were enthralled in one way, or another. Atlanta had the same reaction as some of those kids in the video. Bet if y'all went and saw this in person, as a vacation point, it would impress both of them even more.
Never clicked one of your videos so fast. My dream is to race this course .
I live in Kent England, my nextdoor nieghbour used to race around the isle of man with a Manx Norton bike I could hear him coming home 3 miles away from home the Norton's were so loud I've never been there myself. Good luck thank you. 🇬🇧 🏴
This was wild. I loved seeing it from the rider’s perspective. Also all of the peoples reactions. And the countryside is gorgeous.
🥰 Thank you for sharing
For a true race on the same streets may I suggest , Southern 100, Isle of Man. Greetings from the Salish Sea.
Not the same streets at all - the Snaefell Mountain Course and Billown Circuit do not share any common tarmac. Billown Circuit is based from Castletown in the south of the island, the Snaefell Mountain Course doesn't go further south than Douglas. There's over 5 miles between the closest parts of the two courses...
@@Penguin_of_Death Cut and paste it chuckles. Looks like the same course to me.
A mates mate rides the TT Cameron Donald.NZ is represented well by Bruce Anstey. These guys are on another level. I know many pro riders who'd never do this race.
So much that's mind boggling about it. Memorising a track that long. The variability even once you've memorised it, sunlight, shadows, different weather from lap to lap. Then, if you've mastered all that, to do well you have to race the competition, slip streaming and out braking when you're already right on the edge.
Hey, the pack on the back is a combination, yes like you explained it connects up to the helmet quite well helping them be more aerodynamic, but its main purpose is to store the suit electronics that for example trigger the airbags in the suit, and keep track of other things. temperature etc.
Great reaction video! The broken back must have taken quite a bit of reconstruction to be that successful. ✝
Beautiful family.
Fun fact: in the UK we have a Speed Limit sign which is a grey circle with a diagonal white stripe from the top to the bottom corner. This means the National Speed Limit Applies.
Back many years ago the UK as a whole changed the National Speed Limit from derestricted to; 60mph for single lane Roads and 70mph for dual carriageways.
The Isle of Man didn't want to do this so their National Speed Limit has remained derestricted for all drivers until this day.
This applies to most out of town areas on the Isle of Man, especially as there are no motorways on the Island. I believe this change came about when the UK motorway speed limit also changed from derestricted to 70mph.
that bump you saw on his back is a safety precaution that fills up with air around his ribs and spine to try to protect their torso when they crash
Nope, The hump is to improve the aerodynamic profile.
I remember hearing around 1964 that somebody left their house in the village during the race & didn't get their gate latched. It swung open & one of the riders hit it at speed & I believe he was killed.
The look on Atlanta's face after they showed the crash was priceless. I don't think she was able to process the action the first time.
You are the second sicko here thats watching something else, than the majority here,isent that right,Horace?
Dont you think this sentence is a little bit too much?And with a double meaning?
To say :"I don't think she was able to process the action the first time",is normal for a old man like you,thats watching little girl,instead of the road? Hm,Horace?
I will show you what "for the first time" actually means...Dont make me angry and dont you ever again say something like that.We are watching you...
Youre already done.
@@z.1628 You sir need to get some serious help. If you got that impression from what i said about the look on someone's face tells me that you are the one thinking about double meanings. Please get some help.
10:29 Narration was perfect cuz thats exactly how he was lookin 😂😂😂
As a person from the Isle Of Man the title is very fitting because lots of motorcycle riders (and car drivers) have lost their lives on our roads
Suggestion: Triple Crown races. Secretariat in particular. He was an AMAZING horse.
I can definitely second this. There are shorter videos of his Triple Crown that would fit nicely for a reaction video.
Had a Harley soft tail chopper about 16 years ago. Loved it, but would never get into the bike racing, but found it intriguing. But actually doing it was too extreme for me lol. Anyway, awesome video. Looking forward to the next. 😊👍🏽❤️
Poor Denzel 😂I got you buddy.
This is exactly what my father did to me when I was 6 or 7..There was no Internet so I could watch,there was only one way to see this. Since that day my life has changed forever. I am 36 now and riding even during the snow. I had the same expression as Denzel 😂
My brother checked off a bucket list item this year when he attended the Isle of Man races. He had a blast and had real good luck with the weather. It’s often rainy there. He told me there was no way you can get the speeds unless you are there. He has raced motorcycles since we were kids, so he knows what speed is.
This was a GREAT video guys :) Keep up the fine work :)
They "average" 135 MPh over the 35 mile course. They actually hit over 200 Mph.... 330 Kph.
What a great reaction from you guys. Definitely a bucket list thing. I’ve been to New Zealand and it’s the most beautiful place in the world. You are a lovely family by the way. Thanks for a great video.
It is the best feeling ever to race round the TT course
Such a sweet Family! 💞
Bro 141k subscriber’s already I remember when you barley had 40k
Ive been riding 2 wheels for almost 45 years, in that time my injury list is like this: Broken left tib/fib requiring titanium rod to fix. Broken left arm, broken right hand and elbow and 3 broken ribs!!!! Ahh!!! Good times indeed!!!!!
There is also The Isle of Man Manx Grand Prix. Very similar to the T.T. but leans more
towards up and coming amateur riders. It is quieter than the T.T. with less visitors, but
very enjoyable.
Years ago it used to take place in September, if my memory serves me correctly.
It may have moved to a different time of the year now.
Not a NASCAR fan myself, but the history behind how it got started in the first place is pretty cool. You should check out "How Outlaw Moonshiners Started NASCAR" by Donut Media.
That is a good video. I feel the sport gets a bad rap in some ways. Most races are 250 miles to 500 miles. It's pretty much a straight line drag race with 30+ cars. But people don't look at it that way. They would if it was a street race like this..
The drivers who delivered the moonshine would challenge each other to race. Without the weight of the moonshine or illegal alcohol th cars would fast.
I respect these riders. I just respect my life... I have children. I wouldn't want to try
The speed hump on the back of the leathers also incorporates a drink for the rider while he's racing via a tube into the front of the helmet
I love seeing them going around a corner on one wheel, so insane. You guys should do a reaction video to the Goodwood hill climb.
