Isle of Man TT , for modern day gladiators , has got to be one of the few racing sports that still retains its true identity for both riders , teams and spectators , without restrictions , corruption , scams and false media taking advantage and turning it into another unwatchable motorsport
Definitely respect things like that, but still can't get rid of the image of a rider flying straight into a wall and laying dead in front of everyone but that was comes with freedom
Northern Ireland might take issue with you on that. Road racing is very much alive and well over there too with at least a dozen events on the yearly calendar.
A motorbiking friend of mine told me that there's a medical practice at the TT race. The doctor is at the top of several flights of stairs. The doctor's attitude is: "If you can get to my surgery, you're *physically* fit, but as for your state of mind, I have no comment to make."
Joey Dunlop won the Isle of Man 26 times and most people have never heard of him. If that isn’t the most impressive, absolute badass record in sport, I don’t know what is.
@Treetoopa Evil Knievel and Eddie Kidd are loads better. And they don't/didn't have silly names. Imagine being named after a pair of cheap trainers or a tyre.
@@hyena131 Many have the name Dunlop, why would he be named after the tyre guy? Besides, tho I don’t understand how cool the other guys are, name wise or achievements whatever, I find a multiple world champ pretty awesome. Did Eddie Kid race, idk his story?
I rode the TT course 20 years ago in July (not during TT). My speed max. was 100 mph (with 34HP). I agree that every rider who does this course during the races is a hero!
Krzysiu Rowerzysta Believe me that car was powerful. That was a great motor that Chevy put in several different models of vehicles. I was just saying that the new F1s don't have that sound that made me wake up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday to watch an F1 race on TV.
@@Mikael_Partti Given the the UK ban on new fuel car sales coming, bikes will be next, 2 strokes wont be coming back. If you can find a couple of good ones and some spares then buy them. oil them, cover them, they will sky-rocket in value.
VGAMERPRO well, for this you need to lose balls in order to regrow another pair, just so you know if you by accident lose them again, you the man to get them back...
@@JMBsurreal76 Correct. He wanted to visit, to pay his dues. He presented the trophies too. Amazing not so long ago that it was part of the World Championship . . . . so wasn't an opt out! 'The Isle of Man TT became part of the FIM Motor-cycle Grand Prix World Championship (now MotoGP) as the British round of the World Motor-Cycling Championship during the period 1949-1976.'
I have watched hundreds of fly by videos from TT but this is one of my all time favourites... sound of birds tweeting in the background when you can hear monsters approaching the shallow village road... Awesome. I could have this set as alarm in my phone to wake me every day. I miss TT... Please let it run this year... !!!
I could think of worse ways to go,I Ride and Ride hard but safe,but if it's my destiny so be it,I would have died doing something I love,I would think that these legends feel the same way!
I traveled from Indianapolis in 2018 for it. My advice to you: forget the rest of your wish list. The TT is absolutely life changing. You will see the craziest riding, meet the nicest people. I think about how I am going to make it it back over there literally every day.
@@apancher - Totally agreed- The racing is thrilling, the whole event is superbly organised, the fan knowledge is brilliant, the people are fabulous and the social side and beer is perfect.
@MadMax Start saving now, it will be well worth it. If you are thinking of taking the ferry, then you have to book a little over a year in advance, some people fly over. I don't think you will be able to make it, next year, those who have missed it since last year have our crossings guaranteed
@@italianrager5831 have you ever been? Obviously not. It is the most insane thing in the world. They come past centimetres away from you, absolutely flat out and the noise cuts through you and turns your legs into jelly. When the first rider goes through, everyone starts shaking and laughing, it's the best spectator sport in the world. As for waiting for hours, I've got no idea where you got that from, it's bullshit. You know what time the race/practice session starts and the roads close about 30 minutes before. So you go to where abouts on the 38 mile course you want to watch, whether thats up on the mountains, in the fields or in one of the towns, and then you set up camp and talk to your mates until the bikes start coming and then there's hundreds of riders so they keep on coming for a while. You turn on the radio, at full volume, and switch to the isle of man tt channel to listen to whose winning the race or setting the fastest lap. It's impossible to explain the feeling, words can't describe it but it's like nothing else on earth. Incredible
I spent a day nearby during my 2018 TT trip. The whole experience was so humbling, and absolutely life changing. Nowhere else in the world will you meet people who are so friendly, but also will to risk their lives for the thrill of it. I am hoping to be back to see my Manx friends in 2022. Pints of OKells will be on me.
I've ridden and raced motorcycles for almost 50 years and I feel extremely confident on two wheels, but I wouldn't do this for any amount of money. I cringe watching these guys wobble as they come over a small rise, or scream past homes and stone walls. They must either be a special breed of man or stark raving mad.
You can’t think “did I pay the gas bill?” I’m no biker, but the concentration needed to do this is off the chart!!! One slip and you’re done! Got to admire these guys!
I've raced fast cars for years but these lads are on another level, in life! You have to be so detached and focused to do this, hats off to them but I prefer being inside a shell.
Superbe course, magnifique tracé, île de Man splendide, des pilotes qui m'impressionnent à garder des trajectoires de folies, magnifiques chronos, machines de courses de plus de 220 ch...! Eh...

There's also a slight bump in the road and a steel manhole cover beyond it, on the exit of a corner... Now I don't mind the idea of my own mortality, but I've always felt it was rude to expect a funeral director to organise a dignified ceremony when what's left of you is seeping through the cracks in the casket like a smoothie in a shoe box.

@@stevenlafferty2732 As an ex amateur (i.e. unpaid self financing) Isle of Man competitor I am afraid you could not be more wrong. Real motor cycle road racing (Isle of Man, Irish road races Macau Grand Prix, etc.) is a true sport whereas F1 is a business. Road racers would love an F1 paycheck (who wouldn't) but hate having to grind around an anodyne, sanitised, computer designed, bloated, kart track sitting in an armoured safety cell in accordance with computer calculated instructions from the pit box to earn it. Not a special breed or mad men (and women don't forget), just people who have an unbelievable passion for their chosen sport. I am not denigrating F1, in fact I follow events on and off the track with great interest but there is no comparison with Real road Racing the only thing they have in common is the principal of the internal combustion engine.

A mate of mine almost lost his i-pad at Gorse Lea one year while filming one of the Supersport races. When we watched the footage it looked like one of the bikes is going to come out of the screen!
I'm not sure really, most roads outside of towns & villages are unrestricted here on the Isle of Man. I occasionally do 110 in some places when the roads are quiet!
Andrew Emery Why is 80mph slow? That is much faster than the average motorist can react to. Also the difference between driving at 80mph or say 65mph is likely to be the difference of a few minutes unless you're driving over 50 miles.
+Andrew Emery Seeing how many deaths there are on the Isle of Man each year I'm not sure it would be the best example. As others have mentioned as well, these are not the speed limits
Used to live in that village. Walked up round the corner to Primary school. And shopped in the store over the road. Bikes weren't as fast then, but we all stood nearer the road to watch.
You what's funny about this. When you watvh F1 racing you always secretly want to see a crash, with this it's the complete opposite. It's like unadulterated respect that wants you to see these guys nail it each time. Because god damn that's fucking mental that is...
Good they are flying!!!! Imagine the face of the person sat in their front room, reading paper and that flys by your window. Awesome. Every person that enters this race has some skill, hats off.
This is absolutely insane, as to GP racing on a track coming off, maybe few broken bones bursing, come off in this race 80% who have are forever in heaven. The greatest race on the planet.
I can just imagine the old lady who lives in the house opposite trying to pour her cup of tea as the bikes pass and all her fine bone china teaset rattling each time.

Krzysiu Rowerzysta I agree. The new F1 cars sound like the 1991 3.1 liter Chevy Corsica I had in high school. It's a shame
that feel when 3.1 liter car in US is considered shamefull while in Europe it's considered as car with powerfull engine

Damnnn!! I posted this video almost 8 years ago on my Facebook page and it kind a reminds me the response I received on that post!! Amazing stuff 🔥
Great video Liam! We are glad you enjoyed the TT
1:18 to 1:36 is a wee bit epic :)
Like those pillows on the pole would do anything at 140mph 🥴
It's the thought that counts.
The pillows are actually there to protect drunks coming out of the pub after the days racing is over.
They're absorbant pads for the liquification of the riders...🤮
The pillows protect the poles from being dented.
They're there to lay them to rest.
Very easy to understand the the relief of the drivers once you cross the finish line and you've made it through.
That’s an awesome view spot. Superb footage.
Heaven forbid we raise the speed limit in the United States though...
The speed limit is only 30mph where I'm stood. The road is closed so all of the speed limits are voided!
Liam Collister I am saying that 80 mph is a little slow for the highway don't you think?
I'm not sure really, most roads outside of towns & villages are unrestricted here on the Isle of Man. I occasionally do 110 in some places when the roads are quiet!
Andrew Emery Why is 80mph slow? That is much faster than the average motorist can react to. Also the difference between driving at 80mph or say 65mph is likely to be the difference of a few minutes unless you're driving over 50 miles.
+Andrew Emery Seeing how many deaths there are on the Isle of Man each year I'm not sure it would be the best example. As others have mentioned as well, these are not the speed limits
This sound is same when a mosquito flies near microphone😂
Used to live in that village. Walked up round the corner to Primary school. And shopped in the store over the road. Bikes weren't as fast then, but we all stood nearer the road to watch.
Fantastic job of capturing the video. It must have been a challenge to decide on the location considering the speed of the bikes. Great job Well done
Thank god for that orange rope to keep the spectators safe.
You what's funny about this. When you watvh F1 racing you always secretly want to see a crash, with this it's the complete opposite. It's like unadulterated respect that wants you to see these guys nail it each time. Because god damn that's fucking mental that is...
Music to my ears. At 53 still loving it
Good they are flying!!!! Imagine the face of the person sat in their front room, reading paper and that flys by your window. Awesome. Every person that enters this race has some skill, hats off.
now that is what F1 used to sound like
Isle of man on my bucket list
+Craig Tarzia Sound is only a little auxiliary in TT. :)
Holy shit I get nervous riding my Heelies 1 mph these guys are nuts!
These riders never crash. We are perfectly safe standing here.
What a fantastic sound from my ears . . Luv it 😁😁😊🤤
Goosebumps
love the sound
Dachte erst: Ach guck, Montags Morgen in Triptis kurz vor der Autobahnzufahrt.
This is absolutely insane, as to GP racing on a track coming off, maybe few broken bones bursing, come off in this race 80% who have are forever in heaven. The greatest race on the planet.
the most badass sport ever!
Just makes me smile. Speed gives this great feeling of pure freedom, unhinged from restrictions and rules.
This is the most bad ass video I’ve ever watched on youtube … or anywhere else for that matter … I’m fucking floored
Imagine being so use to just walking out your front door and not even looking to cross that country town street😜🏍
I can just imagine the old lady who lives in the house opposite trying to pour her cup of tea as the bikes pass and all her fine bone china teaset rattling each time.
She probably makes tea for the riders.
Imagine living In one of those houses and hearing a engine having the scream of a 3 year old every six seconds
They're not doing it every day you know. It's an event
BRING IN ON!
@@user-mb4xy2cz3t that's why I said every six seconds 😂😂
I like the padding around the bottom of the pedestrian crossing sign as if that would do anything.
"Doing a good ton-40 there..."
Love this guy's speed definition! 🤣🤣
