These riders really are the true gods on two wheels. They know one mistake and its over. How they concentrate for 6 laps at that speed is beyond most people. Respect for each and everyone one of them
I have watched many TT laps....Joey on V Four Victory was always the Best for me..... but this is so well filmed and thoughtfully set up at the camera angles..... it is Brilliant .... You can see the all important tacho....a clear screen view.....and even his brake hand....AWESOME Footage indeed...Well Done WizNorton.
Love this video,keep coming back to it. I bought V4 victory when it first came out and spilled my tea watching it! One day I hope to afford to shut the garage for 2 weeks and actually go there.
What a great on board lap. Really good to see Josh's hand on the brake lever through various parts of the course. And the sound is just badbass!! Thanks for uploading.
One of the best video on youtube with one of the best bike ever made and one of greatests and favorite racer ! A most ! Thanks guys and keep the passion !
now this is the way these videos should been music and onboard with one view, not a bunch of different views switching back and fourth every 15 seconds, awesome job
Thanks for this video.. a beautiful evil scream from my childhood with the Norton's.. I keep showing this video to non motorcyclist friends to show them how motorbikes are supposed to be ridden.. respect Brooke's and Shields
WOW.. In my youth I did many a lap on open days (Mad Sunday etc) and now I always enjoy seeing the experts do a lap... I'm a Norton fan.... and now I'm a Josh Brookes fan... :)
@@Dewstepper Yes , i have watched a race on isle of man on tv in 1989 and i have recorded it , and there where 2 nortons riding like hell , the sound and how they managed to keep it on the road i shall never forget.
They risk their life for the adrenaline and the sport itself; entertaining us is a byproduct. If they were doing it for us- you'd see a lot more crashes and deaths.
God..dammmm...!!!!! One word for every rider..this is gift..you are born to be this the way you are...in the middle clip I be image like I'm in the warp tunnel...!!!! So horror but excited & impression..
That was a real battle of a lap, where you could see the very different properties of the two machines at work on the different aspects of the TT course.
Something went amiss about a third into the lap, it sounded like a cracked exhaust pipe or expansion chamber and it lost some of the mid range. Not quite sure what the 3 red lights were about either, cooling or battery not sure. One of my favorite on bike videos. Great comment.
GREAT to see Norton coming back so strongly after so little time! The TT is the ultimate road test for any manufacturer. Where's Triumph? Back in the sixties I was the lucky owner of two Matchless 650 G12s. They also did OK in the TT before the Japanese exterminated the British too-complacent mismanaged supremacy. One was always in my workshop receiving TLC and the other in action. One was a 1959 single-tubed frame with 6 volts and a marvellous magneto ignition, and the other a 1962 double-tubed frame with a 12 volt system, coil and contact points. The 1959 model with magneto ignition was always more reliable, but the stiffer double-tubed 1962 frame made for slightly better handling. I once travelled London to Rome in 36 hours, including the Channel crossing, with an average speed of 80 mph on the roads.
Wow, I love this vlog. Riding along with the driver, so nice! Real hero's there. (I know the circuit from a game, with cars.GT2) Of Course it is a little crazy, I love f1 racing, but the last years to safe. I am not waiting for people to die, I have seen that in the 60's, but there must be a risk. Isle of man, without any room to make an error. Fantastic. Thank you very much. I love this!
Top speed is about 180 mph on these classic racers and they are over 130 mph for most of the course. In a few places they go below 50 mph and the sections between Sulby Bridge and Parliament square is negotiated between 70 and 130 mph which brings the average down a bit from the more open sections. The average speeds have risen from around 100 mph in 1960 to 134 mph in 2018. I think Bob McIntyre (1st 100 mpg lap), Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, David Jeffries, John Mcguinness and Bruce Anstey were responsible for some of the biggest jumps in average speeds. More recently, Peter Hickman and Michael Dunlop have been pushing it up along with a couple of others. Perhaps 135+ mph average in 2019? Their top speeds have been occasionally over 200 mph for a number of years and reportedly, Bruce Anstey's Honda reached 205 mph a few years ago on Sulby straight. That could be just slightly exaggerated as I'm not sure it was radar measured. Mostly the top speeds are around 190 to 195 mph so they can get better acceleration out of some of the slower corners.The teams experiment with final drive ratios hence the different top speeds, especially in practice. They are looking for that sweet spot that yields the lowest lap times and the highest average speeds. There are no medals for highest top speeds. To put it in perspective, the average speed of Josh Brooks on this Norton is over 1 minute behind the current lap record. Still a fantastic lap to watch on a great sounding machine.
@@droceretik well said dude. And Carl Fogarty must the be greatest legend on a motorbike🙌🏽. Racing in 92 for the WSBK championship and in between on a 750cc Yamaha putting a laprecord of 18:18 and a average of 123.61mph Also Josh Brookes who had a WSS and WSBK history. Hope he will win this year
Josh Brookes, you have a new follower!Absolutely awesome and fearless riding skills, I just know you’re going to be on the podium many times in the future. The part through Sulby straight (9:22-9:33) is insane, although the whole lap is awe inspiring! To think that the world goes crazy for Formula One?? These TT riders have much bigger balls and much more nerve!! Lewis Hamilton and company are inferior to these extraordinary brave men, and woman. The Isle of Man TT is the greatest motorsport event of the year!
Does anybody else goosebumps watching this, I love motorsports, F1, Rally, moto gp and super bikes but this is in a all together different league. Road racers like these are real BIG balled men with out a doubt it’s just amazing too watch. 👉 👌 👈 Thanks for the upload much appreciated 🤘
Well if you loved WSS and WSBK you would have remember the name that is now racing here lol. All those guy's have the same mindset, to give it all. But you are right that the dangerous lvl of these kind of races are way higher. But i also love to watch those other sports as well

Gotta have the biggest balls on the planet to do this race... Mad respect for these guys...
Each i watch these im still in awe.
And on a crazy rotary bike too
Side car team mate, big ball sack.🥥🥥
Sheep are the problem. Local farmers are required to keep sheep sequestered. It's a blow to sheep rights everywhere.
I am very impressed as well
These riders really are the true gods on two wheels. They know one mistake and its over. How they concentrate for 6 laps at that speed is beyond most people. Respect for each and everyone one of them
A heart-stopping display of power, speed and courage.....
2:58 that sound , that bloody sound gives me eargasms
Why would someone put a dislike on this.
Massive respect to all the riders who challenge this course.
Big balls ✊️💨
Obviously because they haven't got the brainpower, to understand the level of expertise and commitment, they have just witnessed ...
@@staffyforme or they're just dickheads.....
A great video...
not bikers id say
Brilliant riding. Both lads are serious talents.
Krank and Dangerus
What a lap, I was jumping off the sofa watching. The big Norton sounds fantastic... More more more please..
Love those Rotary engines, in memory of Steve Hislop back in 92
And the black and gold JPS Specials- oh dreams , they were so unique .
It's amazing to think he rode within 4 seconds of Steve hislop when he was fighting fogarty for the senior race win! Good job Josh!
The best onboard TT footage i've seen!!! Brilliant riders, fantastic sounding bike...Massive tnx WizNorton Racing for uploading this gem.
I've never been a bike fan but I can appreciate why others are.
I can't stay away from these TT videos 👍
I have watched many TT laps....Joey on V Four Victory was always the Best for me.....
but this is so well filmed and thoughtfully set up at the camera angles..... it is Brilliant ....
You can see the all important tacho....a clear screen view.....and even his brake hand....AWESOME Footage indeed...Well Done WizNorton.
moriwaki1105 thanks for the kind words!

Love this video,keep coming back to it. I bought V4 victory when it first came out and spilled my tea watching it! One day I hope to afford to shut the garage for 2 weeks and actually go there.
Erf! I disliked the angle at first and now I realised I also missed that finger on the brakes. Thanks for pointing this, Moriwaki1105.
このレースに出場する全ての勇気ある選手に敬意と尊敬を送ります。
ハードなバトルを見せて貰い感謝です！
One of the best on board Lap Videos I've seen. Gtreat Job!
This is the most amazing on board TT lap video I've seen. And to see the hand work on the brake is a real treat! Thanks for sharing.
Downloaded!!! Fantastic footage... Josh is one hell of a talent! Thank you.
Well yeah he had some good racing experience in the WSS and WSBK. Think this is proof to the people that say, short-circuit racer's are amateurs😂
Great video,I was there for the 2017 Classic/Manx GP week & I'm looking forward to it again in 2018.Thanks for posting
What a great on board lap. Really good to see Josh's hand on the brake lever through various parts of the course. And the sound is just badbass!! Thanks for uploading.

One of the best video on youtube with one of the best bike ever made and one of greatests and favorite racer ! A most ! Thanks guys and keep the passion !
Superb video
Massive respect to everyone who takes part in the TT

It's called music video..
This ranks amongst the all time greatest on bike footage!
Thanks lot! What a beautiful experience, to see those amazing guys on amazing machines!!!!❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great riding Josh. What a fantastic sounding motor. Also, Derek Sheils looking mighty impressive on the Kawasaki.
It s crazy! Bravo! Super heroes!!!And thanks !!!!!
00212608302392
That Kawasaki is fantastic. Norton sounding exquisite 👌
One of the best onboard laps I’ve seen - dicing with Derek for an entire lap, beautiful sound and no bugs!
Wow, that was a hell of a video! Those bikes were really singing! Madness!! 👍👍 Just brilliant! ✊💪👌
absolutly no words for this skill !
I can watch this over and over, I just love the sound of that engine, and Josh riding like a King!
Never had the chance to see these on the road, but I love the unmistakable sound of that rotary engine.
Thanks for this video.. a beautiful evil scream from my childhood with the Norton's.. I keep showing this video to non motorcyclist friends to show them how motorbikes are supposed to be ridden.. respect Brooke's and Shields
love the sound incredible view thanks
jesus! your reactions really need to be spot on ! Amazing riders! great respect!
WOW.. In my youth I did many a lap on open days (Mad Sunday etc) and now I always enjoy seeing the experts do a lap... I'm a Norton fan.... and now I'm a Josh Brookes fan... :)
Norton continues , i am hoping also in the races.
@@Holydiver7019Lets hope so :)

@@Holydiver7019 Search on here for Steve Hislop vs Carl Fogarty Senior TT 1992... Amazing riding by both riders..
Beutiful, beautiful sound....marevellous...
Fantastic riding by both!
Never heard so beautiful sound!
This is so impressive especially having the balls to go flat out through mountain in fog big respect
Superb riding, great concentration and commitment to keep that up at those speeds.👍
What a sound!!!!!! Thanks for the video!!
I live on the IOM and this is the best onboard footage I’ve ever seen, believe me,that’s as close as it gets!
Amazing shit, pure Amazing. I'm 35 Years old an buyed my first Bike this year, a KTM RC390 R and im addicted to the TT. Great Drive!
They risk thier life to entertain us.. hats off to the bike racer. Full respect.. world number one sports ..
They risk their life for the adrenaline and the sport itself; entertaining us is a byproduct. If they were doing it for us- you'd see a lot more crashes and deaths.
They risk their life because they love what they do thats motorsport racing
@Kalash You can't say they don't want to entertain us, but the adrenaline is definetly the main reason.
@Kalash haha do you still know what i mean?😂
they ride because the like. this is not about others
wow josh!wow norton rotary!!thanx 4 the lap with you!!!
In the old movies they used to speed the film up, they don't have to any more! Great bike, great rider. Thank you.
God..dammmm...!!!!! One word for every rider..this is gift..you are born to be this the way you are...in the middle clip I be image like I'm in the warp tunnel...!!!! So horror but excited & impression..
Love the snarling engine sound!
Whew...I didn’t know I could hold my breath for 20 minutes.
Absolutely amazing video
Rotary engine+motorcycles+TT Laps=F-ing amazing!!
Awesome stuff Josh, Isle of man TT is pure magic on two wheels.
The best video I have ever watched.
If cracking and popping eases your frustrations, this wee engine has it all! Fantastic!!
That was a real battle of a lap, where you could see the very different properties of the two machines at work on the different aspects of the TT course.
Something went amiss about a third into the lap, it sounded like a cracked exhaust pipe or expansion chamber and it lost some of the mid range.
Not quite sure what the 3 red lights were about either, cooling or battery not sure.
One of my favorite on bike videos.
Great comment.
The backshifts are mechanical homicide! Sounds just like my Rover 400 when the gearbox destroyed itself.
Phenomenal video.
no words for this
sheer guts - no room for error either in man or machine. amazing.
Love the way this bike sounds. So nice.
congratulations for the video and the race, the best I've seen on youtube
It was a practice lap.
GREAT to see Norton coming back so strongly after so little time! The TT is the ultimate road test for any manufacturer. Where's Triumph? Back in the sixties I was the lucky owner of two Matchless 650 G12s. They also did OK in the TT before the Japanese exterminated the British too-complacent mismanaged supremacy.

Triumph is in the paddock getting a new lung,
Had a number of mad Sundays doing lap after lap, one way street across the mountains. Stunning
Just awesome what a rush gets your pulse racing brilliant onboard camera footage really switched on pilots
Lovely sound.full credit to these guys.
Those Norton rotaries sound awesome. A bit between a 2 stroke and 4 stroke. I remember watching them at Isle of Man in 1990. Never forget it.
Wankel engines are 4-stroke... they also couldn't compete against reciprocating engines
One of the best videos on internet 👍
Crazy but a pleasure, Thanks Dirk
good shifting good brake. perfect to hear that this thing can sing. i can sleep now.
Much love... Hard respect
I have to check my blood presure after this.....unf***real. What a ride this was. Thanks Josh.
Amazing!
Thanks for sharing ❤
That rotary sounds awesome....Great ride Josh
while watching this with sound, I feel adrenaline and slight fear. Huge respect for these crazy people.
Wow, I love this vlog. Riding along with the driver, so nice! Real hero's there.

thats a practise lap! the most intense IOM video ive seen. awesome
best TT video
a classic brand.
Love this and used to own a Norton rotary, it was a special bike.
Absolutely Amazing !
I have a hard time believing this was just 119mph like the title states. Thanks for sharing this :)
That speed is the average for the entire circuit, top speed attained would be a lot faster.

This by far some most exciting footage I've ever seen ...must take massive concentration focus
Sounds awesome!
I could almost kill for that sweet sounding norton!:)
Phew. Absolutely amazing.
amazing....the sound....and so fast...👍
Es impresionante la capacidad de procesamiento de información de estos pilotos.
Das ist mal eine super Runde auf der TT. Danke das ich visuell mitfahren dürfte. Ich wünsche euch auch noch viel Spaß und Glück.
I like the unstabilised footage, it shows well this is real roads and not a smooth track. The more I progress, the more I respect those brave riders.

I tend to agree, but you can only try to be the very best at what you do and Lewis is the best F! driver there has ever been.
Well done Mate, keeping the Norton name going.
Best TT video! Thanks
أول 10 دقائق من المشاهدة شعرت بالدوار.
بحق الجحيم كيف يستطيع هؤلاء الصمود أمام هذه السرعة في الواقع !!

Wow!!!!!! thanks for posting this
รู้สึกดีที่ได้ดูวีดีโอนี้นะ ความฝันของผมเลยนะครับ ที่อยากจะไปแข่งที่สนามนี้ซักครั้ง ผมอาจจะตาย แต่ผมไม่เสียใจ อย่างน้อยก็ได้ทำตามความฝันแล้ว เป็นกำลังใจให้คนที่มีความฝันนะครับ สู้ๆๆ ซักวันต้องเป็นวันของคุณ ท้อได้แต่อย่าถอยนะครับ
Powerful bike and the engine sounded like howling especially in sulby straight
I used helmet when watching this to get safety
That's funny. I found myself leaning on corners.
Me consuela no ser el único... jajaja
Enjoyed the view, it looks ride on paradise, so calm and warm of sound bike 🐆🐆🐆
Stone the crows! Beautiful riding good sir. Bravo!
Fantastic ride!...
Love the sound of the downshifts
me,too
Superb video,thanks
That motorcycle SOUNDS AMAZING!!!
