    I'm not sure if it was just me, but the ambient music that's played as he's racing through the countryside with shots filmed from the air like that all meshed so well; and I can't seem to bring why it fit so well to text, but it almost brought a euphoric amaze kinda feeling over me.

      When so much perfection goes into a project of this magnitude, it really becomes a true piece of art. Another example of a human the absolute edge of life, but in complete control.. it’s absolute madness but for us to watch it be done... it is kind of euphoric feeing. It’s similar to watching Alex Honnold’s free solo..

      Exactly! The feeling cannot be explained so it is simply referred to as 'poetry in motion'. The ambient music enhances that abstract feeling.

I think you got my comment wrong, i'm not comparing speed here, it doesn't matter who gets to the finish line first, what i meant is that the helicopter already requires much more multitasking than the bike does, now imagine piloting the helicopter while you're trying to see where the biker is to follow him for the camerman.

      Yes! - i have read 3 of his books, and I understand how passionate he WAS about Motorcycling, and the T.T. Yet he had other irons in the fire, all vying for his attention.
      He wanted to do the tour divide, an unpaid unsupported, mountain bike endurance between Canada and Mexico. It was on at the same time! Some of his peers felt sure he was being paid, after all why would he miss the T.T.to do it?
      They just couldn't understand why Guy Martin wasn't on the Isle Of Man that year!
      Yes he had a few spills, these take their toll. He went in to work on trucks in a lot of pain. He loves what he does!
      He made a valued judgement plain & simple! He will go from strength to strength and take on the challenges he WANTS to do. Maybe he feels it is old hat, and a tad dangerous, well it is his choice, and fair play to him!
      A lad from where I work died there a few years ago. It was on an evening, it hit his family very hard.
      The late Barry Sheene was once asked what sort of bike he rode on a daily basis. His answer was: 'On the road, you must be mad. The roads are dangerous!', he only entered the TT once in 1971, because he needed the championship points.
      Fair play to you Guy - As they say on Star Trek - Live long & Prosper!

    This brings me some nostalgia. If you’ve ever had this happen to you, you’ll know. You become good enough at something to the point that it’s almost automatic. It becomes less of something you do, and more something you just watch yourself do.
    Riding at this pace, or anywhere near this pace requires zero hesitation. If you misjudge or miscalculate, you will die. The *only* way you can do this kind of thing is to flip that switch in your head. Abandon your sense of self-preservation, and have full faith that your innate strength is greater than your vulnerability.
    There is nothing in this world like that moment. You surrender control to some more basal form of yourself, if that makes any sense at all. And you’re free for that moment.
    I so sorely miss riding.

      I love Guy and he’s caning that thing as hard as it’ll go but the flames are just unspent fuel being ignited by the exhaust. The drag of the engine slows the bike plus it’s mechanically drawing fuel into the manifold meaning the moment you hit the throttle the engine can respond.

    @badgereclipse Před 10 lety +17

    The bike is constantly outrunning the helicopter but the helicopter is short-cutting the roads and catching up. As someone else pointed, the deception is that the camera operator is tight-in on the zoom, so you can't tell that he's pulling away. They have a 33x Zoom on them.
    That is a twin engine Squirrel capable of 180mph, however when they fly with stabilised camera systems attached the helicopter pilot isn't supposed to exceed something like 110 Knots approx 125mph. This restriction is so as not to stress the external component (the camera-ball) since anything breaking off it has a high risk of taking out the tail and then the helicopter.
    As far as the stabilistation of the camera system is concerned it doesn't care at what speed the helicopter flies at. It's more that capable of maintaining the same smooth, picture quality.

I’m looking forward to getting on the bikes as soon as possible. It’s a new bike and I’ve never ridden it before, but we all know its pedigree. TAS are the best team I’ve ever ridden for; they get me and I get them and we meet in the middle, which is why we’ve been successful and this new venture with BMW is just what we need going into next season.”

    I worked on a Police helicopter for 11 years, the fastest pursuit I was ever involved with was a GSXR1000. It outpaced us massively on the straight bits of road (motorway), we only kept up by cutting off the bends in the motorway and straightlining them. He eventually realised he couldn't get away (he had seen us) and rode home. Parked the bike up, took his helmet off and lit a cigarette awaiting his fate.

    • @CurmudgeonExtraordinaire
      @CurmudgeonExtraordinaire Před rokem +4

      I suspect that the way to "out run" a helicopter is to just have a large enough gas tank / good enough fuel economy to exceed the endurance of the helicopter... If the helicopter can only stay in the air for 3 hours, you just need to be able to go for longer than that even if it is much slower than the cruising speed of the helicopter... Then again, if he's only doing 60 mph, are they going to call out a helicopter for the chase? :)

I think you can empty the tank of a 1000cc in half an hour if you want to. But if he's on the chase, he could shortly stop at a gas station, fuel it and drive off as there wouldn't be any cops so fast near him I'm guessing.

The helicopters' camera allows them to zoom. Whenever you see the picture getting oddly larger, that isn't because the helicopter has suddenly gained speed, but rather the fact that the camera is zooming in to make the motorbike viewable. I hope I didn't sound sarcastic or rude at all, as I am just trying to give you information. Everyone makes mistakes, and it takes a real man to correct a person - nicely.

    Motorcycles are the purest form of transportation, a true connection to the road.

    sometimes watching the videos from isle of man TT I know how to cry as a child, when I see their passion, love, desire and courage for what they do, ready to die..it is something, when you live and you are ready to die for what you live

    Guys like that are absolutely amazing. Talent and nerves of steel that I can’t imagine having.
