I even heard a rider doing a lap commentary that said, in some places you aim your bike AT the wall in the apex because it will drift out and put you in exactly the right place, if you don't, you will run wide and wipe out on the exit. Nope, nope and nope.

There is' no other race in the world where you can as close to the track as at the TT and yes you feel the bikes as they go past. Bikes aside, the whole visit is amazing, the Isle of Man is a great place to visit, the ferry ride across is good and then you're basically in bikeworld when you get there, from practices to actual races, the smell and the feel is something you will never forget.

They zoom past you in a blink of an eyelid. I have no idea how these riders do this because it is an absolute challenge of courage and madness. I had the privilege to work with Barry Sheenes spanner man and have worked alongside USA’s Kevin Schwantz. One of America’s greatest motorbike racers during the 1980s . These guys are absolutely legends. You should be very proud of Kevin he absolutely dominated the race tracks in America and Europe and the rest of the world during thirst times. Texas ✊

    You can feel the heat of the engine and smell the race fuel as the bikes go past at certain parts of the track. These were clips from Northern Ireland, the Isle of man and some Moto GP. The Isle of man Circuit is almost 38 miles long and 200 corners. I have a friend who competes in the Sidecar race as a passenger and another who competes on the big bikes. I think they are both stupid for doing it but it's their choice. Mark Higgins (local rally driver and now James bond stunt driver) set a world record in a subaru in 2016. That vid is worth a watch because he explains everything and they monitor his heart rate on screen.

    I used to live on the Isle of Man with my parents until they split up and I've been going to the TT almost every year (missed the 2016, 2018 due to real life commitments) but I will be going over this year to see the racing and to see my father who lives in a quaint little village or town called Laxey. The Isle of Man TT never fails to give you that adrenaline rush and excitement, it's such a small, special place on Earth and one that some people are wanting to put a stop too! The TT started in 1907 with nothing more than some dirt roads and some geezers who owned two-wheeled horses wanting to create a fun, never-before-seen event roughly at the same time each year and like I and many others say, you have to be there to experience the TT and feel the general atmosphere of the place, no other place in the world matches it and I cannot wait to get over there this year! I'm rooting for Peter Hickman, John McGuinness and Dean Harrison this year, all top-tier gents and riders on and off the bikes.
    Cityboys, please react to more of the TT or more specifically react to smallish documentaries from the actual riders of the TT, it will give you a better understanding on how these guys operate out there both physically and mentally.

    Since its inception in 1907, there have been 258 recorded deaths of competitors on the Isle of Man mountain course (Isle of Man TT, Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT combined), with 150 being from the Isle of Man TT.
    But including bystanders and unreported fatalities, it is believe the total number of deaths surpasses 270.
    This has increased since this info was collated in 2019.
    Without doubt the most dangerous racing in the world. I'm amazed these guys can keep the bikes upright with the weight of the huge balls they have to have just to take part. Supremely skilled riders and an amazing spectacle to watch.You guys need to do a reaction to the 'Flying Doctor' Dr John Hinds (RIP). Not only saved many lives of those riders involved but was sadly taken whilst racing himself in an Irish Road Race. He's a legend amongst TT riders and fans and is sorely missed.
    His breakdown videos give a rare insight into the work the paramedics do during these competitions.

    There are 2 races in the clip. The TT is a "time trial" where the bikes set off at intervals and may catch each other. the NW200 takes place in Ireland and is a conventional race with bikes starting together.

    Imagine being around 2-3 feet from something moving between 130-200mph. It's an adrenaline rush and can scare the crap out of you. There is also the sound hitting your chest and a push of hot air

    Think Indy on 2 wheels!!!
    Sometimes in the rain and cold.
    Years ago in CZcams there was an 18+ vid of a spectator that was holding out a DSLR camera for action pics and 1 of the TT bikes cut the corner. The radiator intake faring took the guy's hand clean off half way up to his elbow. His hand and camera went through the radiator and cracked the engine block. The rider crashed and survived. The camera guy survived minus his hand. The following year they met up at the pub that was right near the crash site. It's a crazy world.

    man called Guy Mitchell will take you through his quickest lap, with cam on bike. He talks about not applying break cos it takes away momentum and other technical stuff. But remember also you have to keep in correct gear on each part of the track. His words on how you do it, "well its a green blur and a grey blur, and you try stay on the grey blur.

    What you may not realise is the IoM TT is equivalent to gladiators. 'Those who are about to die salute you'.
    So far 265 riders have been killed since 1911. The worst year is 2005 when 11 people died including a Marshall and a spectator. The only year with no fatalities was 1982.
    When they line up they know some will die. They go up to 200mph.

      And its on normal roads, not perfect ground like a race circuit. Wholes, sand, buckles, paintings, crossings, leafs etc. Sometimes its difficult to ride on a normal bike with normal speed on a normal road, but with that speed? Its 80 meters per second, you crash into something 250 meters away before real notice it.

    I've been in a number of vehicle crashes (not all my own fault), but Years ago I lost control of a small van, slid off the road head on into a tree stump at about 70 mph. The van rolled, probably about the length of a football pitch before finally landing right side up. It was like being in a Washing machine. When I came to my senses I was sitting in the driving seat with my feet on the grass. The impact had Ripped 3/4 of the floor of the van clean off except for the driver and passenger seats. I walk away from it with just a badly sprained ankle. But that was Decades ago and I've never driven a vehicle since and I never will.

    You've got to realise this is on public roads that are just closed off at race event. You hear the bikes, feel the wind as they blast by. Some riders are so close you can see the concentration, smell the hot engine. Then you can ride the circuit on your own machine once it's all over.

    There is a documentary about the 'dunlop' brothers who are TT royalty ..
    One of the sons went past his dad who had crashed and died on the TT circuit..
    And raced on the final day on an inferior bike and won the race in honour of his dad who had died a day earlier..
    But like 2 sets of sons and brothers have races and died at the TT...
    It's one of the most astonishing stories in motorsport history..
    They are beyond legendary.
    And you will all cry your eyes out..
    TT the greatest race in the world..
    One micro second mistake and it's death...
    But to win is the most incredible victory in sports...
