Love how James just takes it in his stride, and keeps it in perspective from everyones view, smiles, looks the positive. Sorry you dropped it, does look like something on the track though. Hope the bones mend quickly. Thanks for the entertainment fellas.
You got everything out of that bike that it had to give. I initially thought somebody clipped you when you went down. Absolutely did nothing wrong. You were in the zone.....
Sorry about the shoulder. That said, let's take a second to appreciate the superb game of braking/throttle chicken that took place at that bus stop around 6:57. Pro passing there. Not to mention you podiumed a few races and never broke 0km/h. Speedy recovery to ya Statham. And well done JHS.
I love knowing you can buy an SV650 today as a beginner, learn to ride, become advanced, put more money into it, and basically ride it to the pro levels. What a great platform.
Fagan: Heal up fast. Suzuki: how many times does James have to show you a track package you could offer through your dealers to make up revenue and distinguish yourselves from the other Three?
The camera work felt like I was the one actually racing behind my computer screen. Well done! Those SVs going against those bikes really do show it's about the rider and the know how.
Cracking riding mate. Both you and Bono! Hope you come good soon, I’m sure it won’t detract you from putting out some stellar content anyway. Thanks for the laughs mate.
that made for an uneasy but compulsory viewing knowing of the impending doom. cant help but feel you were pretty unlucky with the injuries sustained from that. best time of the year for a crash ! speedy recovery
Bono rocking the Fagan tramp stamp! Great videos as always lads! Im sure you'll heal up great, get a few cans down you and feet up, be better in no time 🤟
Way to send it! Just started track days this year and I'm addicted. Did a slide like that recently. No injuries but I hope you get well soon! Phenomenal job for an old man!
It was fun seeing you race, good stuff. I watched you go down 10 times, you definitely didn’t do anything wrong... Huge respect for the persistence from an old dog such as yourself. To get back up again, wipe the drift off, and give it another whirl with a smile on your face... A bunch of carnies going round and round until the sun goes down. Hope the wounds heal up nicely.
Glad you're okay Al. Content like this, the budget bike battle's and the relaxed but very high quality reviews is what makes this the best motorcycle channel on youtube and the rest of the internet.
What an awesome little bike, totally agree about a class for these as the stock suspension on the SV and ERs is in the pogo stick category. Hope the arm/shoulder heals soon!
Sorry to see you got hurt Mr Fagan, watched it over and over and couldn’t see why you came off, defo something on track. Hope you have a speedy recovery and glad you don’t need surgery, all the best
Great video Al!! Looks like a whole bunch of fun, except for the crash offcourse. Totally agree that you can have a massive amount of fun without the use of a Pani, R1M etc.. Get well soon mate!!
Just came across your channel, binge watching now. If there was not a count down to the crash I would never have expected it. When I raced motocross I always had the thought that I would not get hurt, the other guy will. On the last moto of the weekend it was my turn to be the other guy. Tib Fib broken in 5 places, shit happens, thats racing.
Bit late to the party on this one and only just caught up over a cup of tea.....but WOWSERS! That was brilliant. Definitely a lot of talking yourself down and then absolutely sending it!!! Bloody awesome effort from you, Bonno and Will. So pissed off I couldn't be there but definitely next year and maybe 🤞be alongside you on our minitwin (alongside in the paddock but MILES back in the race... 😂) As always the chats with James are brilliant and properly informative. Legends the lot of you. Hope you mend up soon dude... 👊😎
Well done, I am gutted for you - going really well, I've been there ! when the bike just goes away without warning or reason - but you showed you still have the pace to run at the front so get yourself fixed and get back next season !!!
Crackin' content guys; and them wee SV's were absolutely flying! Here's hoping you had some good news after that CAT-scan bab & you heal quickly. ps We need some 44T/JHS Racing merch to help you guys with your assault on the championship next season. Get it sorted! 👍
Get well soon Al. Totally seems like it was out of your hands , but the pace you ride it’s always gonna happen here and there!!Proper rapid bit of riding boys, well done..
8.10 OMG the sexiest (and longest) shot I’ve ever seen! You guys are killing it, the on board camera is fantiastic... the blue bird and pace helped make it perfect🔥👌
Great video - SV650 proves racing isnt all about numbers... love it - get well soon mate... keep taking the drugs.... hope you continue the comeback life in the ol dawg that 4sure :)
maybe its because i love this channel so much, but this for me is some of the best onboard footage i have ever seen. i have a ninja 650 and its great to see these torquey "tractors" being raced against other more powerful machines. Thankyou guys this was fantastic My theory for why Al crashed: i don't think it was oil, but one of his GIANT testicles with the density of a black hole popped to the side and gravity took its course
Another testament to the unstoppable force of nature that is: the Suzuki SV650! Wack fuel in it, check the tire pressure, press the button, fucking stomp on it for 10 laps and then do it again the next day. Best bike ever built
@@FortyFourTeeth yeah they say that houseflies and cockroaches are the only thing that'll survive a nuke. Which is bollocks, as you said, because an Sv will survive two! Mine has 88K km on the clock and runs like a swiss watch
Awesome ride Al, regardless of how it ended. Wish I could make my SV perform like you did there, well done mate. In the future when you're on the SV650 stick to the obligatory broken speedo and have that be all that's broken, keep your body out of it.
Some parallels here mate. Multiple dislocations over the years on my left shoulder from the first low-side 25 years ago. Then Dec last year taken out by another rider, down on my right side...Fek! Still minor problems today. But I'm sure you'll be good to go soon enough!
As a spectator, I have never been to Castle combe and not had a great time. Proper people doing proper things , it's just the atmosphere the track , the racing...even just a proper cup of coffee and a bacon butty love the place.
Love this! Great footage from a track I know, awesome to see you riding competitively and what a great bit of kit that ultra twin is - makes you appreciate what a smaller capacity bike can do! Nice one 👌🏻
Excellent vid , great weather and racing , I did laugh though when you said how safe it was when talking about the ultra twins with a a sling on ha ha .
Great stuff mate, sorry about the arm. You did well. I remember the first video I watched you in was the California superbike school and it showed you race and how you got the journo job, oh and you had hair. Big shout to James and keep the shiny side up.
Thanks for all the love. Date with the surgeon went well; no need for surgery and the shoulder is stable, so be good to go in a few weeks 💪🏼
You'll be healthy again in no time. Good opportunity to scheme up some more adventures :-)
Go on Al 👍
Al did I see you in an episode of 'Doc martin?'
Its you're power wank arm aswell
Ohhh nooooo
Did the airbag go off in the suit? Seems like a lot of damage for you if it did. Especially for what looked like a relatively slow low side.
"Got a bit slower" - proceeds to fully send it with awesome pace. What a race!
In that pack, totally slow bike fast, watching the others pull away on the straight to be caught on the very next corner.
More James, Always more James. Dont ever stop putting James on screen
Best motorcycle channel!
I took my like away so it stayed on 69
Says who
Love how James just takes it in his stride, and keeps it in perspective from everyones view, smiles, looks the positive. Sorry you dropped it, does look like something on the track though. Hope the bones mend quickly. Thanks for the entertainment fellas.
Layed it down like the 'Uncrashable'... it wasn't a binned bike.
James looks like an awesome dude to hang out with
You got everything out of that bike that it had to give. I initially thought somebody clipped you when you went down. Absolutely did nothing wrong. You were in the zone.....
James is an awesome dude. Great perspective on life, motorcycle racing.
Good Job Fagan and JHS Racing, great result apart from the off, get well soon bud.
Thanks Ron 💪🏼

Sue Perkins will need to step up for the content now ...
thought he'd left
As a guy with a fractured left calcaneum after a Magny-Cours GP tumble I can feel your pain. Keep your head up ! Thank you for the good content.
I love knowing you can buy an SV650 today as a beginner, learn to ride, become advanced, put more money into it, and basically ride it to the pro levels. What a great platform.
You’re both still laughing, that’s always good 👍🏻 Hope you heal up soon Al
Cheers Chris
Get well soon Statham! that was a hell of a ride. And mad props to James for taking care of the bikes
Fagan: Heal up fast.
Suzuki: how many times does James have to show you a track package you could offer through your dealers to make up revenue and distinguish yourselves from the other Three?
The camera work felt like I was the one actually racing behind my computer screen. Well done! Those SVs going against those bikes really do show it's about the rider and the know how.
Cracking riding mate. Both you and Bono! Hope you come good soon, I’m sure it won’t detract you from putting out some stellar content anyway. Thanks for the laughs mate.
The production quality of these videos just keep on getting better. Jizztastic.
that made for an uneasy but compulsory viewing knowing of the impending doom. cant help but feel you were pretty unlucky with the injuries sustained from that. best time of the year for a crash ! speedy recovery
The way that SV engine was singing 🤤 Perfection. Thank you for another excellent video. Have a speedy recovery, Jason!
Bono rocking the Fagan tramp stamp!
Great videos as always lads! Im sure you'll heal up great, get a few cans down you and feet up, be better in no time 🤟
AND STILL...theee best motorcycle channel out there. Get well soon Fagan
Good luck, Racing St Bernard!
Poo comment caught me off guard 😂
Did he say it's an addiction?? What a weird fetish!
What a way to start a bike show...XD
Way to send it! Just started track days this year and I'm addicted. Did a slide like that recently. No injuries but I hope you get well soon! Phenomenal job for an old man!

Get well soon Statham! Hope to see you guys doin some more racing on these banger bikes!
Thanks. This little blips only fuel the fire!
What an awesome little bike, totally agree about a class for these as the stock suspension on the SV and ERs is in the pogo stick category. Hope the arm/shoulder heals soon!
Discovered you guys a few months back. My new favorite channel!
Get well soon mate, James is an absolute legend of a bloke!
Thank you for making great videos.
Sorry to see you got hurt Mr Fagan, watched it over and over and couldn’t see why you came off, defo something on track. Hope you have a speedy recovery and glad you don’t need surgery, all the best
Ahh Fagans bad luck sir!. 44t/JHS lock outs, lovley guys, you all had a fun weekend thats what it all about lads👍👊
Not too shabby for an Old Fella 😀 Congrats to the team. 👍
SV650 is actually one of my favourite bikes out there. Nice sound...enough power for a giggle and decent handling.
@old man strength Yeah for sure, they are cheap to maintain and fun to ride.
FANTASTIC and the way you talk about it easy to understand ........loved it .
Excellent content as usual, thanks to you and JHS racing for brightening my day and get well soon. Chin up fella.
Great video Al!! Looks like a whole bunch of fun, except for the crash offcourse. Totally agree that you can have a massive amount of fun without the use of a Pani, R1M etc.. Get well soon mate!!

Twat or not....tremendous racing and onboard footage....your Donkey Dangles are Mahoosive.....Heal well mate.
Love that one. Racing does not always demand a ridiculous budget. Hope you get well soon!
Nice to see those bad boys back out on track! Fantastic bikes, had an amazing couple of years with them.
So much fun. The R6 can’t be bad though!
44Teeth true! More to handle for sure, but couldn’t think of a better stepping stone in racing than the SV650!
Awwwww mate that blows! I gotta say that I do admire Al's braking. The boy can ride for sure.
This vid sums up why I love racing in beautiful quality. Get well soon mate!
Bit late to the party on this one and only just caught up over a cup of tea.....but WOWSERS! That was brilliant. Definitely a lot of talking yourself down and then absolutely sending it!!!

That was a brilliant vid guys . Get well soon dude , and that's exactly why its fun not mega bucks tied up in the bikes. James is the man
My day just gets better every time 44Teeth release a video.
Well done, I am gutted for you - going really well, I've been there ! when the bike just goes away without warning or reason - but you showed you still have the pace to run at the front so get yourself fixed and get back next season !!!
Great riding on a sweet, simple ride. Awesome work and thanks for highlighting how good the little SV is. Take note sound of thunder big spenders.
Thanks for keeping up the quality content Al, I hope the Baron appreciates you putting in all these shifts.
Great race and glad you guys had a good time. I hope you heal up quickly Al! Best wishes!
Awesome video ! Really inspires me to go racing. Get well soon Al, I dislocated my left shoulder coming off my bike so i know how it feels.
Get well soon Fagan ! ! ! can't wait to see you back on the bike
Get well soon Al, loved the video, cracking racing well done to the whole team👍
Crackin' content guys; and them wee SV's were absolutely flying! Here's hoping you had some good news after that CAT-scan bab & you heal quickly. ps We need some 44T/JHS Racing merch to help you guys with your assault on the championship next season. Get it sorted! 👍
Testament to JHS too, they can make some nice little bikes - on a budget too.
Good idea I would buy the merchandise to support the racing,it would be like a crowd funded racing set up👍
Get well soon Al. Totally seems like it was out of your hands , but the pace you ride it’s always gonna happen here and there!!Proper rapid bit of riding boys, well done..
Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery Al, take care
Awesome job guys! JHS(James) is top notch. Got me wanting to build an SV tracker now. Here's to a speedy recovery brother. :)
Sad to see you go down... Hope you’ll be back at it again soon. Let your shoulder heal, get well!
Loved the spot on countdown by the way👌
Mend well soon fella.
BBB in winter sounds fun 😁
At least the bikes are light.
8.10 OMG the sexiest (and longest) shot I’ve ever seen!
You guys are killing it, the on board camera is fantiastic... the blue bird and pace helped make it perfect🔥👌
I know its been said before but i feel it needs to be said again, this is the greatest motorcycle content anywhere!!!!
Thanks Michael!
I was so enjoying the vid, I forgot you were going to crash (!)...until the countdown came up...glad the scan was ok. Get well and good skills by all.
‘It’s a lot safer’ says Al with his arm in a sling 🤔🤕🤦♂️😂👍
Swift recovery Al! I’m glad you had fun and are still in good form.
Very well ridden races, too bad it ended in a bit of a downer but still great job and there's always the next race. Wishing you a good recovery!
You had a nice move every lap coming out of the last right onto the start straight. Great vid lads
What a brilliant video! Thanks to all for making it.
Thanks for the great video! Just want to say that I really prefer this camera setup (camera behind dash) feels way better than your usual chin cam
Great video - SV650 proves racing isnt all about numbers... love it - get well soon mate... keep taking the drugs.... hope you continue the comeback life in the ol dawg that 4sure :)
maybe its because i love this channel so much, but this for me is some of the best onboard footage i have ever seen.
i have a ninja 650 and its great to see these torquey "tractors" being raced against other more powerful machines.
Thankyou guys this was fantastic
My theory for why Al crashed: i don't think it was oil, but one of his GIANT testicles with the density of a black hole popped to the side and gravity took its course
Another testament to the unstoppable force of nature that is: the Suzuki SV650!
Wack fuel in it, check the tire pressure, press the button, fucking stomp on it for 10 laps and then do it again the next day.
Best bike ever built
The only bike that’ll survive a nuclear attack
@@FortyFourTeeth yeah they say that houseflies and cockroaches are the only thing that'll survive a nuke. Which is bollocks, as you said, because an Sv will survive two! Mine has 88K km on the clock and runs like a swiss watch
I shattered my left clavicle (pinned and plated) highsiding out of Lodge at Oulton park back in 2009 - get well soon Al and keep up with the physio!
I race a 2009 sv650. I love the class so much fun. I'm still jealous of your bikes. Great vid guys. Get well soon mate
Awesome ride Al, regardless of how it ended. Wish I could make my SV perform like you did there, well done mate. In the future when you're on the SV650 stick to the obligatory broken speedo and have that be all that's broken, keep your body out of it.
Glad to hear you are ok overall Fagan!!!, Hope you get back on the tracks soon!!! Godspeed!!
Quality footage, had me leaning 😂
Hope you make a speedy recovery and get back on the bikes again soon ❤️
Enjoyed that Fagan, hope you feel better soon, take it easy. You still got the speed, so keep racing once you're up to it.
Some parallels here mate. Multiple dislocations over the years on my left shoulder from the first low-side 25 years ago. Then Dec last year taken out by another rider, down on my right side...Fek! Still minor problems today. But I'm sure you'll be good to go soon enough!
This project makes me proud to be a current gen SV650 owner. One might expect this to be an MT-07 race bike because it’s the more popular model.
Man for such a underwhelming looking off you took a beating. Hope it all mends up for you dude and you get back out there again.
As a spectator, I have never been to Castle combe and not had a great time. Proper people doing proper things , it's just the atmosphere the track , the racing...even just a proper cup of coffee and a bacon butty love the place.
Massive bojangles Fagan, love the SV , have one as a daily ride these days and its a blast
Love this! Great footage from a track I know, awesome to see you riding competitively and what a great bit of kit that ultra twin is - makes you appreciate what a smaller capacity bike can do! Nice one 👌🏻
Excellent vid , great weather and racing , I did laugh though when you said how safe it was when talking about the ultra twins with a a sling on ha ha .
That countdown scared the living shit out of me!! Glad you're ok and bud you're still fast as all hell!!!! :D
This is awesome. I’ve wanted to race the sv 650 for years and seeing you do it is inspiring. Good on ya!
That manager is the best. Such a positive legend
you've been producing excellent content recently, Al. great stuff!
Thanks Danny!
Great stuff mate, sorry about the arm. You did well. I remember the first video I watched you in was the California superbike school and it showed you race and how you got the journo job, oh and you had hair. Big shout to James and keep the shiny side up.
Hope you have a speedy recovery Al. Look forward to seeing you back on one wheel 👍
Heal up soon Fagan! Outstanding riding!
As always, magic video! Get well soon mate!! Loved every second!!!
Convinced me to check out the bike meets at Combe, great video (up to the start of race 3 obviously) Hope all is good in the recovery.
edge of the seat. exciting vid guys! All you guys are genuine great lads to watch and listen to. cheers! jan
Cracking video as usual. I was there on the Sunday it was bloody cold 🥶
Get well soon Al! And congrats to the fantastic results anyway :)
Thanks!
My fav video this year, keep it up mate and get back stretching the throttle cables soon
Thanks 🙏🏻
Good on you Fagan. Great racing, sorry for the bad luck.
Nevermind youtube, best content anywhere! Look forward to every video, Top draw. Well done. 👍
