    Guy Martin has more or less packed in road racing after 3 _massive_ crashes that should have been fatal. One was the giant 190mph fireball crash at the TT that he hobbled away from because he jumped off and flew along the road rather than off it, one was a high side when leading the Ulster GP I think - broke his back - and the final one, when he’d been coaxed out of retirement by the factory Honda team, was a false neutral on the way into a corner at the TT that could have chucked him head first into a wall. A lot of the other names mentioned in commentary in this video are dead through racing crashes or retired through injury. Ian Lougher keeps finding bikes to roadrace despite officially having retired, while Michael Dunlop races despite losing his Uncle, Father & Brother in racing crashes, with other members of his extended family also taken by racing…

    The Isle of Man isn't Scotland or Ireland, it's an island in between England, Ireland, and Scotland in the Irish Sea. It is a Crown Dependency of the UK, which means whilst it isnt part of the UK it is represented by the UK in international affairs and rules of good governance, but it has its own parliament and is as far as domestic affairs are concerned a separate country. The Queen does hold the title of Lord of Mann though and hence why there is some confusion. It is in effect though a tax haven.
    As far as this kind of racing goes, and I'm not expert the TT is a race against the clock (in effect a time trial, though this isn't what TT in the title stands for). The Southern 100 is a race, which is part of a series that also includes similar races in Northern Ireland, though I could be wrong about this. When towards the end it mentioned the Ulster GP it confused me a little as I thought this was a race in Northern Ireland.

    The thing with videoing this with a helicopter is that most civilian helicopters have a top speed between 160mph to 180 mph. And these riders can outpace the chopper on the straights. Which is why you dont have a lot of aerial footage of the race.

    TT is Isle of Man, its own place. This is mainly Irish road racing in Ulster / Northern Ireland (the North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix) with some Isle of Man races thrown in too.
    Fun facts: Isle of Man TT is known as the most dangerous road race in the world, with 270 deaths on the course. The NW200, in Northern Ireland, is the fastest motorcycle race in the world, with a top speed of 208mph and an average of 120mph (including all the slow corners!)

    IOM TT is on the Isle of Man ( time trail) . Irish road racing, mass start or groups but it’s the same riders. Peter Hickman was dominating road racing before COVID. Should watch his chin cam lap of the TT👍

    This is from a fair few years ago because richard Britton died at the ballybunion races in 2005 and martin finnegan died at the tandragee 100 in 2008.Part and parcel of road racing but they love it and i love watching it.

    This is the Southern 100, a shortened version of the TT. They go off the track at that tight turn and run across on that bumpy up and down semi-straight stretch of road. Much shorter course.

    I love road racing, unlike track racing the tarmac isn’t specially prepared, it’s what we all drive on, cracks, lumps bump, drain grids, manhole covers and not forgetting house, garden and field walls.
    I when down to Le Mann’s one year on my bike, and you get to drive on part of the track because it’s a road most of the year. To ride on The surface is absolutely joyful it’s like floating through the air, there are absolutely no bumps, creases or differentiation in surface quality at all.
    So this is why all the road racers are absolute legends to the rest of us.

    The TT and the Southern 100 both take place on the IOM. All Irish motorcycle road racing takes place on public road courses. The TT is the only on that doesn't start as a pack race. Oh they run aviation fuel... So that's why big flames happen. Their are a couple of videos on you tube about an Irish road racer/DR who did some course marshalling. He was talking at some medical conference. He showed a pic of a racer, back at his first race to participate after losing one leg below the knee. He's sitting in his leathers with is race leg on, on a plastic container of aviation fuel smoking a self rolled cigarettes... To quote a movie about racing, "It takes a certain lack of imagination to really go fast", ie: I'm immortal and nothing can happen to me, only the others.....

    Good reaction guys.
    The isle of man has the tt and also the southern 100. Tt is a time trial s100 is a mass start. The s100 is the walled circuit on the vids.
    There's 2 walls to watch out for on the southern 100 the one on the left and the one on the right, both go pretty much all the way around the course.
    The rest are Irish road races like the ulster gp and Cookstown.
    You have pikes peak in America which is in a similar ball park in terms of commitment.

    One main difference between the Irish Road Racing and the TT is, that the TT is a time trial and they set off in 10secs intervals racing against the clock. Irish Road racing is where riders all start off like any 'normal' track race. ie all together. Lots of racers do both the Irish races and the TT.

    To race motorcycles, you Must be..Relaxed! If you stiffen up, the bike Will Not Turn, and you will run straight through the corner. Sometimes when you are riding, you get sucked into a corner, faster than you are used to riding, and you need to Counter Steer to get the bike to lay over, and just relax into it and trust your tires. It's All about being Smooooooth!
