“There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one…” - Joey Dunlop
He's brother also died in this race.
And they're son's are also rocking champion of isle of man TT.
Racing in their blood man 😵💫
@@liljaeger2k
Sadly William Dunlop lost his life at a race event in Ireland (The Skerries) in 2018.
Only Michael Dunlop, his brother, is still competing.
@@YautjaPrime-gw1on hope to see him retire from this game alive.
God takes care of him and rip those souls.
Lol every reaction video there always someone that has to bring this quote
This is great, listening to heroes with balls big enough to compete in the race. Americans can't even play rugby without body armour. Much respect to the UK grit and determination.
Never saw the TT races of the Isle of Man myself. This reaction is in honor of 2 of the nicest Manx people I ever met. Marjorie and Jack Ward from Lower Foxdale. They were marshalls during the races for the most years of their life. Marjorie once got badly hurt at an older age being a marshall. Took her a long time to recover. The love for the race remained. I met them on a cruise along the Norwegian coast and we became Friends. When I went to their beautiful Isle to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with them, instead of a present for themselves they favoured a money gift, because they were trying to raise as much money as possible to support the Helicopter Rescueteam of the TT races with 🥰⭐⭐🇮🇲 They are dead now, still love and miss them 💕.
Total respect, and thank you for sharing. Although I was a biker I never got to the TT but have so much respect for the volunteers ( and paid ) that helped to keep it safe and support the injured ( and worse ).
@@trikky2.2 My pleasure, thanks
when people clim everest they are hero,s , and the men who parisht you never heard of they are stil there .. hero or zero ..it is what it is and do it in a free world..that is my kind of people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How lovely to hear, all the best.
The worst death toll was in 2005 when 11 people died. The toll now is about 286 that's not including spectators watching the race. Loved your reaction.
Guy Martin had a crash the same year, his bike went up in flames. He talks about it in the documentary Closer to the edge.
You have to love Guy 😎
Guy and Pete live near me Peter work shop is like 400 meters away from my house
The Riders in the TT don't do it for the prize, they do it to test themselves against the track.
One racer said there's a green blur and a grey blur, you try to stay on the grey blur.
I've also seen one comment that the commenter stated that they thought the TT was the closest to Star Wars Pod Racing you can get to on Earth.
I chuckled at one reactor who commented that they thought that the Star Wars Pod Racing was based on the TT Race.
Edit: The TT price is a pittance compared to the other races. Heh try having a shufty at the Sidecar races, whilst not as fast they are even more insane.
Quote from the great Joey Dunlop RIP
Yes I totally get it,
Have property at the 11th milestone of the TT (currently run by my brother). Connor is a true local hero and the TT fortnight is a magical place for anybody who likes their bikes! It is a beautiful island with plenty more going on than just the bikes, and we have good business for the summer season. Guy Martin was glimpsed earlier on - and someone well worth looking more into - his speed attempt series, the Lancaster and the battle of Britain Spitfire pilot ones in particular.
I'm pleased to see a like minded biker. I've been riding for over 35 years and never had an accident. People make the mistake of treating a bike like it's a toy, they are to the ones who end up in a wheelchair or worse. I took my Kawasaki 750 around Brands Hatch and my butt was chewing the seat the whole time. My sense of self preservation outweighs my need for adrenaline rushes. Keep safe my friend ✌️♥️🇬🇧
all my serious accidents were not my fault they were caused by car drivers....but I've got to nearly 74 in one piece (had numerous broken bones)wouldn't change it at all...and sadly did loose some mates on the way....but that's life ....when your time is up.....your time is up...
Amen bro
Safe riding
These bikers use a wheelbarrow to yransport there balls 🥰🥰🥰👿👿👿
Guy Martin is a legend on the TT circuit. His crashes were legendary. Fortunately he's not racing anymore, but he does do the most brilliant tv programmes about engineering. And best of all, he owns a Roll Royce Merlin engine, the sort that were used on Lancaster Bombers and Spitfires. Check out anything by Guy Martin. He's photo'd at 7' 13".
Guy still doing Irish road races....on and off ...
In 2017 a Dutch racer died. He was a member of the team the son of my neighbour is also a member of. I remember when it happened because my neighbour was very upset. She knew him well.
The TT is the last real bastion for men to live on the edge. I admire all men who dare to take on a TT race!
As the saying goes, the TT exists, cause even Astronauts need heroes. And RIP Doc!
And women.
I love listening to your reactions to extreme sports. As a motorcyclist myself since I was 20 years old (66 years young now) we reach a point where we know our limitations, and, as Connor Cummings said, the point when it stops being fun.
I used to be reckless, and have raced on 4 wheels and navigated in a rally car. I fell off my motorcycles often enough to know that racing would probably kill me.
I'm of an age where I'm more or less done with extreme thrills, and comfort is more important to me.
I'm with you now, my friend, happy to let others have the fun, and prepared to be a spectator.
On her 60th birthday, my partner went free fall skydiving for the first time. I would have probably done that, but had gained weight over the years and would have been over the insurance weight limit, so I wasn't allowed.
I'm dieting now, because there's a 2 mile zip wire about 30 miles from my house, and I reckon that could be a fun ride to do. Not as risky as high speed motorcycling, but you're strapped on for the ride. What could possibly go wrong?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Just to say, thank you, today I hit 55. And love the comment. Even we are starting to get old ( social media old ), we can still burn it up with the kids :) I don't mean it as disresct. I think that zip wire soundsa fun, but I would probably break it these days :)
2 mile though sounds a bit long, 1km is the most I could imagine. could you give a link to it ?
Get a Royal Enfield.
Wet knickers? Your breakfast swiftly exiting your mouth and nose? Birdstrike? Sounds fun. Go for it. lol.
@@priscillaroberts7945 I already have, and am planning to go again.
It was great fun, and nothing for you to wet your knickers about, or vomit up your breakfast.
Birdstrikes? Never saw any birds - there's nothing for them up the mountains. It's just rock.
I'm sure you'll be OK on the wire.
I'm looking forward to my next wire run. Perhaps we can coordinate our visits so that I can make sure you'll be fine
@@coltsfoot9926 no thanks i prefer both feet and or wheels on the ground.
The guy with orange hair was the late Keith flint from Prodigy at 6:29
I went to the IoM TT in 1985: that's a long time ago now but I have never forgotten it. I did the overnight ferry from Heysham to Douglas with a thousand or three others, decks awash with piss and vomit and salt water and diesel. Riders and pillions came from all four corners of the planet, mostly British (like me ) and German and French and Dutch and Spanish and Russian, and I heard American and Australian and all kinds of accents and languages. I did "Mad Sunday", a sort of free-for-all for anyone who had a bike (I gather it's much less silly nowadays). All in all, if you love riding bikes and you've been to MotoGP events and want something a bit less tame, save up and GO. You will never, ever, forget the experience.
Been a few times and it’s a lot scarier when you see it live absolutely unbelievable courage these guys have
Isle of Men is a play on words - you need titanium balls to race the mountain course.
these guys are a different breed and mindset...once it's in you blood you are hooked....as a spectator only in the flesh can you appreciate their dedication and talent...
Loved your take on this Crazy race. Went there as a 9 year old and it scared me to death. 1st watched it coming down to Creg na bar. 180mph bikes. Less than a few feet away from the side of the road! Breath taking. Much respect to those guys going for it. We actually went to IOM for a stag do and had a pint (or two)in all 15 pubs on the circuit! Gorgeous place, Scary racing!
Jealous 😉😘🇬🇧
IOM TT legend Joey Dunlop once said.." There's a green blur and a grey blur, I just try and keep it on the grey one!"
New subscriber purely from your facial reaction to something I have taken for granted as fun and very dangerous. You had me spit out my coffee at one point but shall watch again and again. There was a split second of one of my absolute hero's Guy Martin....amazing what this guy does. New fan of yours 🥰🇬🇧
Thanks for the sub!
Hey brother eddie from thurles co Tipperary in Ireland I have just watched your reaction again and I just wanted to say from what I've watched yours was the most honest and thoughtfully response to a s sport we hold dear in our hearts over here in the isles, man you have to over and see it live it will blow your balls off again!! love#peace#and#goodwillbtoafellowhuman....
The prize money is a pittance, this race is run for the legendary staus of being the fattest. I've been a spectator for several years. My great grandparents were born and bred in port St Mary on the southern coast. Another good one to watch is the world's deadliest motorcycle race- the TT.
That crash was a bad one and he was back on the bike the very next year racing again hahaha legend
I've been able to ride bikes for over 40 years without fortunately causing too much damage to the old body, but the riders in the TT are totally in a class of their own. If I was ever able to meet a rider who hammered their rear end around the TT Race circuit I wouldn't be ashamed to kneel at their feet and kiss their boots. One of riders said ' On the track there's a wide green blur on the right a narrower gray blur in the center and another wide green on the left the idea is to stay on the narrow gray bit".
I’ve seen that Connor Cummings crash a few times. But this I noticed he actually bounced over that dry stone wall and in doing so that saved his life.
a word of advice , watch guy , proper, a unique human
The crash compilation from the TT is pretty wicked.
Close to the edge full documentary well worth a watch
There are loads of IOM TT videos on CZcams. Each and every one is worth a watch.
If you notice, anytime you see a shot from the chopper on a straight, the bikes are pulling away. They can outrun the damn helicopter by about 50 mph. On some longer straights the bikes can top 200 mph. The 130 figure they give is the average. There are curves they slow down to 30 or 40 mph. You should check out the "Sidecar TT". NOT ME!!!!
That was the most honest reaction, thanks bruv.
I have seen the race multiple times,and the whole festival is an experience
Yea motorcycle racers are just... A different breed. I mean i am lightyears away from the skill and bravery these guys put on the plate but i broke a few bones during my "career" of hobbyracing and i still do it. It's just an addiction.
What makes thew races more dangerous, the races are "Time Trials" The riders don't race each other, they set off at 10 seconds intervals, and it's the fastest time that wins. So the riders are flat out out, on the edge all the way around.
Great review. When I watch these events where friction is your friend I ask myself how much surface area of the tire is in contact with the road and at that speed going around some curves do you really want to drive on the painted road line?
TT riders..... so astronautss have someone to look up to! Been there four times to watch. Much respect!
There is footage on CZcams of these TT races with a soundtrack of Faster by Within Temptation. Awesome!
the anthem of the tt is from WHITIH TEMPTATION,FASTER AND FASTER 😎
great song for the isle of man TT
I go to the Isle of man TT races every single year missed two only and that was because of the pandemic. It is beyond anything you will ever see. The ultimate ride
MAN ROAD BIKE there's nothing like it. Until you get to the sidecar races and if you think the single riders are nuts you haven't seen this
The smells it has been going for a very long time and sadly we had deaths this year.
The Isle of Man TT, the deadliest race on Earth it started way back in 1907, the Isle of Man TT (originally Tourist Trophy - a test for “touring” motorcycles) runs on a unique 37.73 mile Mountain Course. The course consists of public roads specially closed for the event. The TT is always held in the last week of May and the first week of June. It takes balls to do this but WOMEN do it also. Joey Dunlop is my all time favourite rider he had 26 wins until his death in 2000. There is nothing like this. People want it banned but they don't understand because no one forces them they do this willingly and the spectators that hand on the verges over the garden walls it is a one of a kind and that's it they know they could die both the rider and the spectators yet we all still go.
P.S THERE IS A BETTER CLIP THAN THIS IT SHOWS THE RIDE FROM THE SPECTATORS VIEW check it out
could you pls. put the link in here...... who knows whats next....... grts from a dutch cheesehead, living in Allemania, and moderator of Highlys Dicord Server....
@@ronnyseffinga7950 This one gives an impression. czcams.com/video/D3Ck0R1Ha_8/video.html
Hey, Biker girl Suzanne! Where's the link to this better clip you mention? 💓
Riding all those years, and never heard of TT.
There is real world out there.
These guys are savages! So amazing and ballsy!
He needs to watch the Joey Dunlop lap on the bike that's scary
Theres an in car video of a suburu impreza doing the course before the bike racing where he's hitting 175 mph in places....amazing driving and a must watch.
The prize money for IOM wouldn't cover your tyres, they do it for the prestige.. The guy that went off the cliff was Connor Cummins.., he was lucky to survive.....He lives on the Island too, so knows the course really well.
Their top speeds are a bit over 200mph... now I have done about 145mph on a bike, but that was on a straight road..... no comparison....
They have a sidecar race too, the dude in the sidecar has even bigger balls he isn't even in control of the bike.
I don't know if you notice it but in Moto GP competitions they have various things to reduce the chances of serious injuries for example sand pit tire walls and inflatable walls🤔
But in a TT race there are only soft walls to close of the race track 😵💫the whole track is covered in roadsides curbs, rough stone walls, concrete walls, fences and light poles🤯
Went there in 84 when Joey Dunlop won. To be honest you need to find a spot were you can have at least a couple of hundred yards view of the riders coming, I stood in a spot on a bend, you seen them come around the bend but they were gone in the blink of an eye, so fast and the noise is deafening. Search for Isle of Man TT race crashes.
This is an old video, there have now been over 260 riders killed, 5 were killed this year. The riders hug their loved ones each time before they go out, as they know it maybe be the last time.
No One Like Irish Road Racing.......🧐We Love it🍀!!!!🏁
All the luv from the uk ,,,,your reaction was priceless man 👍,,just had to subscribe to your amazing channel, nice one,,,peace,,kc,,uk
From now on when people ask I’m gonna say I didn’t crash, I was just “adding to my research” 🤣🤣
The riders say they can see a grey blur and a green blur and try to stay on the grey blur .Speeds in excess of 200mph on two wheels.
Haven't been yet, my mates have been and say the turn on is incredible! If you're not a true bike if you haven't been (I'm not a true biker!) and witnessed the sheer speed of these nutters!
If you want to see just how crazy it can be research michael dunlop and the dunlop family gives you a tiny insight into how these guys tick and how the love of the sport can and does have tragic results...absolutely incredible men and bravery.
It's not crazy. It's calculated risk. It's daring, it's fortitude. Most people lack it
Have a look at irish road worriers, those guys are nuts with big nuts
When you don't fear any more, sell the bike.
You don't have to be mad to take part in the TT races, but for sure it helps.
I'd like to counter argue 😆
@@weeeeee374 OK Go ahead
@@MENSA.lady2 *cough cough*
You do need to be mad.
Conor was back racing the year after his crash, at the next TT.
Please avoid the TT Crash compilations. There are fatalities in many of them. Unfortunately CZcams don't take them down. Thanks
I haven't been on a bike for a couple of years. But absolutely miss it.
Check out the NW200 too... Ulster and the other NI races...
Gladiators, each and every one (and gotta give their mechanic teams their dues too!)
At 7:13 I think I'm recognising Guy Martin. He's done some amazing things outside of the racetrack. Should give his channel a check: Guy Martin Proper
It's apparent all the competitors are as mad as hatters to compete in this race. They also have balls of kryptonite. I feel my heart racing just watching. Could we make the race safer by having a top speed of 50mph? Great reaction.
Dude, Ernest Heminway said it best: the only sports are auto/motorcycle racing, mountain climbing and bull fighting ... all the rest are pastimes.
These dudes are gladiators for real mate ✌️🇬🇧
Not sure if anyone else may have commented about this, but here it goes.
An interesting fact is that people that are competing in the TT race don't get paid a lot, the winner gets very little money (maybe even none but not sure).
So the TT race is all about bragging rights :)
Grew up rural South. The Fathers all bought us dirt bikes because we lived so far apart. There were 8 of us and we knew exactly where the "do not cross" line was 'cause we crossed it...a lot!! We would get cops to chase us for fun. Played Cops & Robbers and to get a "tag" you had to make them wreck (no disputes). We built ramps and were jumping 2 car lengths at 12 y.o. Took farm tractors and built motocross tracks in the fields as soon as crops were in. I bought an XR 650 and had no problems until this woman coming toward me decided to make a left. I did the Superman impression across her hood. Been 4 years and I still "wish her ill". 🏍🚓😉
8:38 commentator commenting the race at a graweyard...fitting
He is a real deal, you know the TT stands for Titanium Testicle and that man is the reflection of TT
I wouldn't want to be the camera .....🤣🤣🤣Damn near lost my toke.🤣🤣You'd enjoy the Irsh Grand Prix. Cheers.
There is very little prize money. They do it for the joy of it.
What a way to go ,doing something you love,
This was a very tame video of this race.
Hay dude eddie here from Ireland, yours is perhaps the fucking best reaction video to the TT I've seen on the net!! keep up the good work my nan😎🙋♂️👍
From the standpoint of another adrenaline junky, I can't get enough of this.
What they don't mention is Conner is a Manxman. And the prize money isn't enough to cover the teams bar bill.
These aren't motorcycles, they're souped up rocketships they've stuck couple of wheels n tyres on underneath! 🤣🤣👍
These are normal roads on the iom.
As joey said keep it on the grey not on the green.
Flying down Kate’s cottage at 100+ even as a pillion on open roads is fantastic.
But the danger is huge.
The race boys and girls are a different breed and then there’s sidecars.
I saw Guy Martin for a moment in this video, I really love that dude🤪
He has a awesome show (also on youtube I believe) about doing world records of speed in many different ways.
His channel if you're interested:
czcams.com/channels/LFnnASROVfCBftavD68OKg.html
Still the best respectful reaction vid of these extraordinary riders period. ❤
Just someone else who had not heard of the TT passing comment.
The whole thing about it is it is probably one of the few events left not done just for the money which gives it a nobility and dignity lost everywhere else.
You need to watch Peter Hickmans onboard lap record. It's mind boggling , and leaves you exhausted just watching it. I've been to the TT a few times now and still can't explain how special and different it is. You just have to go , then you'll know.
That’s not him in the corner account. That guy lost his life there 😢❣️
Your right the riders are unique one of the most dangerous sporting events in modern times
I love your reactions man😂 defo subbed up we need some reaction of guy Martin and his spitfire engine👌👌
You should also watch the Isle of Man TT, sidecars, that really is insane, no disrespect to the riders.
I never realised what a pounding the passengers got until I had a go. Great fun but you get a great selection of bruises.
@@alandavies55 I love watching, I don't think I'd have the coordination to be a passenger. I have sidecar racing here in New Zealand, just not as big as in the UK or Europe, I hope some day to go to the Isle of Man, for the TT.
You should check out videos about Dr John Hinds, the flying Doctor, an absolute legend heavily involved in the emergency response side of the TT and Irish road racing. Alas no longer with us.
I'm a biker and did realy stupid things in my 41 yrs riding, but this... a total differet level. You have to respect those "idiots" for shure!
Try Milky Quayle's onboard commentary of one lap, it's the nearest thing to riding it. For those of us, without an extra bag!
u should 100% watch the rally and side car racing on the TT track...
i started riding bikes when i was 14yrs old and still riding bikes at 66 yrs old
As someone coming up to 55 this sunday, don't worry about how long you have ridden bikes .. 8,9,10 whatever :)
If you want something else to react to for the same danger look at free climbing.
You will love some of the onboard, check out peter hickman onboard
I myself have had a Honda MB5 with a 70/11 and a 20 mm. good for 120 km/h. And a Honda MT5 70/6 with a 20mm . 105 km/h. And now a Honda MB8 with a 125. I don't know how fast it will run yet. But you might hear that somewhere?
Riders spend three years learning the course, before they're allowed to race, these guys and girls know the track like they know their own street.
It truly is the most dangerous race in the world
Speeds reach over 200mph, so if you want to see some super fast footage, I'd recommend reacting to 'Isle of Man Top Speed Moments'.
Faater by Within Temptation, unofficial anthem;-)
This ain't no Harley's with Ape Hanger bars! This is some serious SHIT!
"I just cruise. I don't need a helmet."
Yea. I can believe it. I bet you sit down to pee too.
37.5 miles per lap! Over 130 mph average speed!
On public roads! Top speeds over 200 mph!
Walls and trees whizzing by their heads! Getting air over jumps! Every lap!
The Seniors do 4 laps with a tire change and refuling during the race! These Dudes are straight up MEN!
REAL MEN!
I don’t about other fella’s when I came off I thought I was in bed dreaming it until the bike hit the curb and then it was my turn
