      Don't worry about showing the crashes as nearly if not all TT videos will have at least one crash in it and it is all part of the sport. Obviously if it is a fatal crash that is different but ordinary crashes are just part of the course in racing. One video about the IOM TT you might enjoy is the onboard Peter Hickman Chin Cam video.

      My husband raced solos before we started racing sidecars. He found the comments about sidecar racers being mad strange as if you hit an oil slick etc on a solo you usually end up hitting the tarmac whereas on a sidecar you often only do a slide or a spin & continue racing.

    My husband used to race solo motorcycles & I used to act as his pit crew. I decided I wanted to start racing so my husband built a sidecar outfit so we could race together. We have been racing sidecars for over 30 years & have only had a couple of minor incidents where we flipped the bike. We have raced both historic (pre 1962) & modern outfits. You need to have full confidence in each other as sidecar racing is a team sport. My husband & other riders have told me female passengers are smoother in their movements when changing position. There are quite a few female passengers & a couple of all female teams. Our racing club holds "Come & Try Days" where those interested can turn up & have a go as a passenger, starting out slowly at first & gradually building up speed if the newcomer wants a bit more exictment. Unfortunately we have lost 2 friends in 2 separate incidents; one at the IOM TT.

    I know the Birchall brothers and the work they put into racing is beyond next level. They live in my home town which is almost 250 miles away from the Isle of man (including the ferry crossing) so its not a quick place to visit and do a few laps to learn the course and takes a lot of time and dedication to go there to know every bump, crest, corner, kerbstone and wall. They not only race but they build their sidecar outfits too and racing is their whole life. The whole family are the nicest guys you could ever meet.

    I come from a family of Bikers - in all forms . My younger and older brothers were always better than me on a solo ,but I found I had some talent on sidecars from an early age . Went to the isle of Man in the "Golden Years " 50s & 60s usually with my oldest Brother who was a complete nutcase on a big bike ,he could have really done well on the circuits and on the island ,but he was too busy chasing a musical career and girls ? . I dabbled on sidecar grasstrack racing ,but mostly clubman racing ,had a couple of big accidents ,then had a go at Speedway ,to no avail ! . I met my Mrs. while I was D.J. ing as she was a professional dancer and ice skater ,and she was mad on motorcycles ,in fact anything to do with speed .The joke was she had her nerves removed at birth ,so was never effected by anything and afraid of nothing and this was at 17 ?. But to cut a long story short she was my passenger for 47 years ,but we never got a chance or the money to race at the Isle of Man .She died at 64 from Covid . My younger Brother [62] y.o. and me are the last in the family to ride bikes ,my oldest son has just come out of the Army after many years and also stopped riding . We have lost my Father on a bike ,my Grandfather and a first cousin ,in Australia , but your both correct about Brits. complete nutters and you cannot describe what it"s like to ride or drive at speed unless you have done it .Just had the last steel pins taken out of my right leg ,but at 74 I have just bought a new Harley and still have a [now ,small] collection of Bikes . Like watching your Vids and love the American re- actions watching them , Love from the U.K. - Mark .

    You were talking about fatalities this year and it was a good year as there was 'only' 1 fatality. Raul Torras Martinez sadly lost his life in the first Supertwin race, he was honoured by his brother starting the 2nd Supertwin race. RIP Raul. But on a lighter note, sidecars are at full throttle for about 70% of the Mountain Course and the Birchall brothers became the first Sidecar team to do a 120mph average lap this year. With Founds/Walmsley also doing a 120mph lap in the Second Sidecar Race.

    Sidecars are also used for Moto-X racing, with huge ground clearance, and a passenger that has to stand up while climbing side to side on an off-road out which is either getting air over the bumps at high speed, or gets dug deep into thick mud trenches if the weather has been wet - equally awesome to watch, but generally the moto-x outfits will only manage 70 or 80mph flat out around a much smaller dirt track

  • @richardcreaser308

    Back in the 1960’s, as a UK schoolboy, I used to really enjoy going to watch motorcycle grass track racing. Circuits had rounded ends and long straights joining them. Like a rectangle but the two short sides were rounded. Solo machines raced anticlockwise but sidecar outfits raced clockwise. The sidecar being on the left side of the bike allowed higher cornering speeds. We had our favourites. In the pits near Strensall, York, we were looking at Mick Webster’s outfit. Mick said to me “Do you want to help me to win the championship?” I replied “Yeah,” thinking he wanted a passenger! He said “Well look after him for me so I can go out and win this race.” He pointed at a young child in a pushchair, “his name is Steve.” He went and won his race and I kept my eye on his son for him.
    Steve Webster won ten motorcycle sidecar world championships on road circuits. He was awarded the MBE by our late Queen Elizabeth.

A couple of marshals ran out and pulled the, fortunately not too-badly hurt, rider off the road, his leathers smoking. Before anyone else could react, another spectator ran up and pushed a notebook and pen under the dazed rider's nose, with the immortal line "Quick, write six numbers down for the lottery, 'cos you're the luckiest *&@£ alive!"

    What makes the Isle of Man so dangerous, exciting and addictive? The course!
    Motor racing tracks are specially designed
    Some of the corners are slightly banked. There are gravel run off areas where someone can come off their bike at 150 mph slide over the gravel get up and walk away.
    Spectators are placed in strategic areas behind safety barriers.
    On the Island they race on publiic roads that are only closed for racing and practice sessions. The roads are subject to wear and tear of everyday use, leaves on the road in the rain create a hazzard. There are no fun off areas ssfety barriers may be hay bales brick or stone walls. If a rider comes off he's likely to hit a wall , a tree, a sheep or cow!
    The road over the mountain has no speed limit and I've ridden bikes round the island (not in races) on the mountain I've hit 120 mph in races the riders reach almost 200mph!
    Riders in the TT have suffered serious injuries one year and are back on bikes competing the following year!
    Bikers are a unique breed.
    Motorcycle funerals are popular here in the UK.
    A 'hearse' sidecar carries the deceased.
    The "Grand Daddy of motorcycle funerals here was a lovely man PAUL SINCLAIR a lifelong biker and also a church minister. He set up a funeral home in Leicestershire called "Motorcycle Funerls Ltd" and had a selection of bikes with adapted sidecars.
    Paul died from cancer a couple of years ago (the company still exists).
    Pride of the "fleet" is a 1300cc Suzuki Hayabusa with a hearse sidecar. It was this that took Paul on his final journey. They had his service in the church he worked and on his way to the cemetery they took a detour to Castle Donnington Race Track where his body completed a 100 mph lap of the track! Hundreds of bikers joined the funeral procession.
    He had the nickname "The Faster Pastor."

    I was a passenger in Grass Track racing years ago. A lot of fun. It is strange that at speed everything slows down and you feel you have time to move about. When another outfit is right behind you trying to tap your outfit it could get scary.
    It was also a little bumpy on grass...
    With lots of clods of earth hitting your face when behind another outfit.
    Great fun.

    My mate when i was a kid was from IoM. when 17 we visited his family and bicycled around the TT course. Going down Snaefell road we both had bike speedos and both hit 20mph. I missed a corner and hit a hedge but just bounced away. The speeds these guys go.......................................phew!

    I had a boatyard on the Tamar river in Devon. One of my berth hiolder was Nigel Rollason. He was the only living person to have won a TT on two and three wheels and was only the second person to have achieved this.
    He gave me an audio cassette of the commentary of one of his races. It consisted of long periods of silence with the occasional roar of a passing racer, lasting about 2/3 of a second with, "there goes Rollason, still leading"

    Sidecar racing is crazy in the "safe" context of a race track (It's a standard part of bike racing) but the TT version is a whole different level of insanity. Talking of races that are another level of crazy, have you ever looked at the Monaco Grand Prix? Formula 1 cars racing around the streets of Monte Carlo.

    1970s 'Bangers' racing was very entertaining. Contestants usually had a car that wasn't fit for road use anymore so they ended up a on track were the last car running won.

    I'm a retired police officer.
    Many years ago, I attended a road accident. A motor cyclist had fallen over, all on his own.
    When I got to him, he was sitting up, a few bruises thankfully.
    He was laughing out loud.
    He told me that he had just detached his sidecar from the bike, leaving him with a 2 wheeled solo motor bike.
    He took it for a test ride, but when he came to a red light and stopped, he forgot to put one foot on the ground to steady himself, and over he went.
    We both sat down and laughed until we cried. Stay safe all boxers.

    Back in the early '70s I went to Laguna Seca to watch the motorcycle races. They had side car or "side hack" racing as an exhibition between heats on Saturday. At the time women could only compete against men in 2 types of AMA sanctioned races, drag bikes and side hack racing. And even there they were limited to being the monkey on the side car. A woman in baby blue leathers was hanging out so far and so low she wore a hole in the seat of her leathers and had some road rash showing. In Sunday's exhibition she started with several layers of duct tape on her butt and had a roll on the bike to replace what wore off. Oh, and they have similar sidecar races in motocross. Not as fast but really wild.

    I used to race motorcycles and at the TT at a circuit in the uk a good friend who raced sidecars asked me would I act as a passenger as his was taken I’ll. So like a fool I said yes never again you definitely have to leave your brain in the paddock very scary but fun

    I remember when I was about 7 or 8, at Primary school in the early 1980s, there were 2 sisters whose dad was thrown off a sidecar in the TT racing and was killed. Every time I hear about the TT that's what I think of.

    8:29 At the start, sidecar races used regular sidecar outfits. As both technology and regulations progresses, they became more like one unit, with the front steering wheel gradually moved to the middle, until they essentially became motor tricycles. That defeated the whole idea of the sidecar outfit, so the rules changed again to make the front wheel more in front of the driving wheel to make them what they are meant to be again.

    After the side-cars try a little light relief, take a look at the British lawn mower racing scene. It's been going for more than forty years now, it started at Wisborough Green, Sussex, there are various classes which go up to the ride on lawn tractors. The modifications are restricted to keep the sport cheap for everyone, but cutting gear must be removed.

    All motorcycle race suits have multiple layers of thick leather covering hips, knees, elbows & shoulders - they will also have carbon fibre or kevlar armour pads, including spine protectors, forearm splints as well as armoured gloves, boots and top quality helmets.
    The passenger knocked off on that was probably bruised a lot, but I think he was relatively uninjured
    I can tell you that when the sidecar lifts off the ground in a corner, if the monkey can't lean out further, the drivers only way of bring the wheel back to the ground is to straighten the front wheel a little - provided he has room to ride wider in the corner - if he touches the brakes he risks forcing the chair even higher ! A delicate touch is needed to get it back on three wheels in a high speed corner - but great fun though

    They are doing 150 mph plus past the end of my road. They are all nuts for doing it but hats off to them all, insane bravery. A lap is 37 3/4 miles long and the sidecars do 3 laps per race. There are over 200 corners per lap to master. The Superbikes do 6 laps and reach over 130 mph average, they reach 200 mph on the fast bits (just up the road from my house).

    One of the bigger boys down the road where I grew up was into bikes. When I was 14/15 I would go with him, his mates and a couple of the other kids my age to watch them practising sidecars. I was impressed by how close the passenger got to the ground. Nothing bad ever happened so I never thought how dangerous it might be.

    in 1984 the call went out for a sidecar driver needing a passenger because the regular guy had forgotten his licence...my bike had holed a piston so I thought "why not". Six laps of practice with the leader of the classic sidecar series; he very politely told me that it would better not that we raced...

Not only is this a fantastic event but the Island itself is a beautiful place with a rich history. Please if you get a chance cover Mark Higgins 2016 lap in the Subaru I think you will find it very enjoyable. Keep up the good work ladies 😀👍👊🇬🇧
