Superhuman reflexes and vision, with no fear. This has a deadly history.
There is fear. Fear is what holds them down from crossing a line that would mean death
@@_thecrimsonreaper_4972 and still on average over 2 people dies every race.
@@RAimotion I know
The fear is there all the time. Without the fear you would not last long, it keeps things real
@@RAimotion Only 2, which is a testament to how safe bikes are, when there are no pesky cagers and pedestrians ^^
There is a fine line between genius and insanity and these guys are right on it
They use it as a skipping rope 😂
then they put their helmet on
No, they are not right on it, they are far on the insane side
@@wolf310ii can u imagine the rush tho. I went round the course on the back of a 600 years ago. Not really pushing hard my mate not a pro rider just a guy that had a bike. That was enough for me! Rip mate
@@AndyCaley rip mate
I’m an old fart raced there back in the late 60s and early seventies obviously the speeds are so much faster now. When you’re actually racing you don’t notice the speed due to concentrating so hard. It’s a time trial as such not a race you set off at 10s intervals The Senior TT, a single event in the Isle of Man TT calendar, runs six laps of the Mountain Course for a total race length over 226 miles. There are other classes but the senior is the premier event
Jedi class bucket list item. 🍻
Stayed at the Ginger Hall and managed the grand distance of a few hundred yards on the back of one of them bikes before I made him stop, crazy bastards the lot of you ha ha :)
Have you tried the Isle of Man 3 TT game... You can race the old bikes it's probably amazing for you.. it's amazing for me and I'm just a 62-year-old who rode a lot of dirt bikes
@@apexshaver7301 I’ll have a look. Started on a 500 Manx then moved on to 250 & 350 Yamahas as they were faster than the Norton I could see back then that the Japanese would eventually finish off the British bikes
I don’t know why but in earlier races in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018 the racers were riding very fast as compared to 2019 or 2020 and afterwards. I don’t know but that’s what it looked like to me after watching this video. Is it because of the passion of racing bikes declining or courage factor nowadays in new riders ?
A top MotoGP rider once took part of a demonstration lap and he stated that he was not insane enough to take part competively in the Isle of Man TT Race.
THE Top
What's ironic is that the TT was once part of world championship.
@@jeffreynoetzel6328a lot of road circuits were, the original Assen GP used to go through the town & over a railway crossing.
that was Rossi wasn't it? he was mad anyway, but not that mad
@@zenmollusc6128 - I believe it was Mick Doohan.
Love the reaction. Check out an onboard lap with Peter Hickman...that'll blow your minds !
Oh yeah
Yes just make sure it's his fastest lap ever he just did recently there's some other ones where he's "cruising" around
@@apexshaver7301 well the in he was riding bmw hp4 was not cruising
@@jadeprinces yeah I was being sarcastic relative to the world record ride
The Guy Martin lap was awesome to watch also !
The man who has won more races at the Isle of Man Joey Dunlop was once quoted as saying "There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one." about how to drive the TT.
Yes, and he's dead. Died in 2000 racing in the wet in Estonia. Piled into some trees in a 125cc race. Killed instantly. Ironic given the risks he took at the IOM.
hes dead
@@sarahbutler363 surprisingly a lot of famous quotes come from famous people who have passed. Since he didn't die in the TT, I think his quote still is perfect advice for those racing it. If you disagree with his wisdom just because he has passed, I would say that doesn't give me confidence in your mental acuity.
@@privateer0561are you saying that because he has passed away, that the best driver in TT history's advice for riding it is invalid? If you look at the history of high performance racing a whole lot of the top level performers died performing their craft. They were still the best at it and their advice and quotes are still valid. Much more valid than you point will ever be.
Ride. You ride bikes.
The Isle of Mann is a self-governing British island off the coast of England. They practice for a week before the races.
The Isle of Man is an island situated in the Irish Sea between Ireland and Britain. It has its own local parliament and government though it exists under the governance of the UK as a Crown colony. The TT races are a hugely popular annual event bringing thousands upon thousands of competitors and spectators to the island every year. The TT races are notorious for the danger involved, with more than 100 people, riders and spectators, being killed over the last century. Roads are closed especially for the TT races, and they draw the greatest bike riders from all across the globe, who compete for the highest honour of being TT champion. Sadly, the races have claimed the lives of some of the greatest champions who ever competed for the TT.
Their Parliament is named after the ancient meeting place Tynwald. The old court system was called a THING, consisting of local elders and a public assembly.
The death toll is actually over 280, the vast majority 269 are riders taking part but some spectators, marshals and people riding the course during the competition add to that total.
Crown Dependency - even more independent.
@@RushfanUK the death toll is actually 160 at the TT
Nice copying and pasting.
This is my sport. I wait all year for it and the Irish road-race season.
Yup can't wait for. Cookstown to kick it all off.
Isle of Man is 37.7 miles per lap. 60.7 kilometers. Yes they practice the heck out of it and it's the deadliest race and/or sport on the planet.
2 or 3 people die every year, The deadliest year was 2005 when 11 people died.
There's many epic Isle of Man crash videos but I recommend looking up Guy Martin if you to see some crazy stuff. He looks like Wolverine's little brother.
🤣
& a race is six laps
And guy Martin wall of death that was madness
A week of official practice and then a week of races in 6 classes. It's a Time Trial race (TT) so it's against the clock with riders starting at 10 second intervals.
@@richdiddens4059 True, it's a TT race so you're technically only against yourself but the shoulder to shoulder and passing/being passed aspect makes it almost like any other race.
The Greatest show on earth..a next must please..for the TT
The Isle Of Man TT just has so many OMG moments that no matter how many I watch (have been 6 times in past 20 years ) or have seen clips of it , my jaw still regularly hits the floor and my admiration for the riders never ever diminshes
I live on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 not a motorbike fan but the Island comes alive for TT fortnight if you would like to see more you should watch Closer to The Edge a documentary film about the TT & the riders the roads are closed which are used for the course you can still get around though ❤ x
I love watching the isle of man. These guys hands down are the best of the best at what they do.
The onboards of this race are insane. I had one from a while back that had all the engine performance, inertia, etc. information listed and it is still one of the wildest videos I have seen.
Cameron Donald's Superstock race onboard POV is well worth watching - Honda CBR600 , 600cc 18,000rpm & 180+ mph!
You should see the onboard gopro footage of the record lap. The sense of speed is insane.
Best race, best island, best people!
You will never regret nor forget your visit to the Isle of man.
The first time I went there was the biggest event in my life...the second time I went was the second best time in my life...the third...wel...you know how things go XD.
Seriously, GO!
Senior TT is the best event but if you get the chance, try to see the sidecars as well!
Absolute insanity.
Also, make sure you visit the paddock, you'll be surprised at what you will see.
Isle of ....DAMN!
there is a YT onboard video of Guy Martin when he rode at the Isle of Man setting the lap record, even as a biker myself i get sweaty palms watching it
The pictures of his big crash where his bike hit the wall and burst into flames are epic, and he ended up a mile down the road with broken bones and serious friction burns but unlike six other riders that year he survived.
In other words you got a hard on ;o))))
I was there in 81 and mick grant had the lap record at 114.33 mph Peter Hickman blew it away this year at an average speed of 135.6 mph absolutely awsome on a 6 lap race in the senior race they do 226 miles in approx 18 mins per lap got to go there and soak up the atmosphere incredible👍
The Isle of Man is THE road racing of history. It is a destination and back in the late 80's, early 90's several Northern CA racers made the trek to race. Some with sidecars, but most on their race bikes. 130 turns on 37 miles of closed road. The road opens each day to traffic after the racing is complete. This and the Goodwood Festival of Speed are two destination events on the bucket list.
These men are heroes,make a mistake and there badly injured or dead.So much courage and determination.
On average, 2 people die every year at this race. Sometimes as many as 5 or 6, if the weather is bad. There is a certain pub (The Raven?) along the track with a stout stone wall a couple of hundred years old which alone has claimed several lives.
What makes the Isle of Man TT so wild is that there’s no sand traps and few hay bales, just a stone cottage in you path.
Or the edge of a very steep hill! 😣
I’ve been to this and not only the racing but the numbers of bikers there is incredible
37.7 miles around the island in 16 minutes or less.😮
I was taken around the course in a vehicle once. The most frightening experience I have ever had. The competitors are mental.
Actually, the opening clip although stil on the Isle of Man is from the Southern 100 races at Church Bends. Not racing the clock but mass starts all jockying for position. 4 and a half mile circuit on roads sometimes not as wide as those used at the TT/MGP. Races held in July, the TT in June.
Top speed in excess of 320 kilometres per hour. Average speed 218 kilometres per hour. Deaths at my last count was 269 riders in the history of the race meeting. Plus spectators and officials. It’s the oldest motorcycle race in the world. During the two weeks of the meet, when there is no race use of the road any road licensed rider can run it without speed restrictions. So I as a visitor could do 260 kph here. A true peace of living history.
im a huge fan of Isle of Mann, as well as MotoGP.. thanks for reacting to this.
Hi. To watch this on youtube is nothing compared to have been there. Riding there and is a good experience. I was there i 2015 and 2019. Want to do it again. You shall travel to Isle Of Man and make a reactions of each other from the real thing. :-) Riding motorbike on Isle Of Man is somthing you shall do in your life. :-) Mad Sunday people!
On my bucket list of motor sport events
Riding a bike like that takes years of experience and I had fun all these years on them. Sportbikes will definitely get your adrenaline flowing. Riding bikes aren't as fun as they use to be with everyone on their cell phone nowadays. It got so scary to be sitting in a turn lane at a busy intersection with cars whizzing by you at 50 and 60 mph that I just couldn't take it anymore. I felt like a bowling pin waiting to get mowed down. Better to be wise than dead so I got off my sportbike about 5 years ago. I sure do miss them.😞
Yeah, too many people texting and driving, not worth the risk. 😞
It's cooler in the country, and there are less speed cameras ;)
As an off road racer for 36 years these guys (and girls) have my complete respect!!!! I was there in 2019 and you will see nothing like this anywhere else on the planet. Plus the island is BEAUTIFUL. The course is open to the public when not being raced on. I was on a Honda CBR600F I hired in London and the mountain has no speed limit ever. All I could get my little Honda up to was around 120MPH, but what a hoot!!! If you go I suggest you witness the Southern 100 down in Castletown. It's the best race of the week as far as I'm concerned. The Manx people are wonderful! AMAZING!!!
WOW!!! Just WOW!!! 😳
go baby go ,shout out from Ireland
“Faster” is the unofficial anthem of the TT ;)
No, it's not. "King if the mountain" is. 9 years on itv4 and on all the videos.
Years ago, before we met, my wife lived on the Isle of Man for 3 years. It's what I would describe as the 'high rent district' in that it's inhabited by a lot of upper-middle class and upper-class types. A nice place to live if you can afford it.
There's also Mcy & Sidecar races the one on the Sidecar moving & balancing at these speeds It's Awesome !!
The side car races are nuts too. Bike side car you sound react to that one too
Seeing these guys for real is a indescribable experience - its is like TOP-GUN; there is the elite, and then there thease guys with balls made of pure steel.
One of my bucket list races to see live.... I used to ride the same type bike, but not as powerful as these. Miss it. Too many people not paying attention while driving their cars...
You guys should really check out the first person go pro view on the bike. Wild!!!
I raced in the Isle of Man TT 39 years ago. My fastest lap was 194MPH so I exceeded speeds of 200 MPH I really miss those days but I'm 65 now so too now hahaha
194mph? So you’re doing faster lap times than Peter Hickman who holds the lap record at 136mph?
194mph will be his top speed 136mph is the average.
@@gildo101rossiPeter Hickman holds the fastest lap of the TT at an average of 136.358 mph
65? In that case No you didn't - Misinformation
@@broken12367 yes my mistake
I remember being at the ulster grand prix in late 80s, I was stood on the grass about 100 metres from the start of the superbike race and the wind or whatever its called as about 20 bikes fly past in top gear ,I thought I was being pulled on to the road.proper change your pants day.lol
Great reaction!
Weird with those MotoGP clips in the video but the isle of man is crazy
motogp is superior
You've got to check out a Peter Hickman onboard POV full lap, it looks like something from Star Trek in places.
There's two races at the isle each year (spring & fall). The Manx Grand Pre (smaller bikes) & then the open class race in the TT.
Going to the Isle of Man would be a great video and I am sure I would be a fun vacation. You could go around the UK afterwards just for your own leisure.
''At the straight you know the engine
At the curve you know the pilot''
Went 3 times in the 70sand 80s, a mind blowing fabulous week! Rossi said it’theyre crazy’
I always loved the sound of Ducatis. You definitly know when one is passing - three octaves deeper then all the rest
Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the skiffle/rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia, later to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart successes in Australia as the Bee Gees, they returned to the UK in January 1967, when producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
I've been riding for 36 years, and I'd throw a leg over a 1500hp, 230+MPH nitro burning top fuel motorcycle before you'd get me doing this. They say motorcyclists are a special breed, and these guys are the special breed of that special breed.
I am still trying to figure out how they walk with balls that BIG !
Greatest Motor Cycle race on the planet, period.
Between 1907 and 2023, there have been 156 fatalities during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course, and 269 total fatalities/ The deadliest year was 2005, when 11 people died; three riders and one marshal died during the June race, and six riders and one course bystander died during the Manx Grand Prix in August/September 2005. Since 1937, the only year in which races were held but no fatalities occurred was 1982.
A throwback to the long street races of the pre 1970's. Like the Millie Milga and Targo Florio. It's the last of it's kind.
A few years ago a friend of mine was working hospitality at the Singapore Grand Prix ( Formula 1 ) and was located just beyond the start / finish straight . She videoed the start of the race and I timed all 20 cars went past in just THREE seconds . The first few hundered meters is the only point in the race where all 20 cars will be together as they obviously spread out as the race progresses .
These dudes are the men. I would go fast but i doubt id go balls to the wall like these guys.
Not just 'the men', Jeff… there have been women riders too.
"Faster" is used as a soundtrack for the Utube video "Irish Road Warriors" one of their races happen on the IOM. Also on Utube U can find videos of of the same racers running a race in the middle of the Macau China. Both great videos, The prize money for the feature race. The Senior TT in 2024 was only like $24 000 US. The IOM track, 1 lap covers 34.7 miles and 6 laps long and 207 miles in length and 280 corners per lap.. The 1st race was in 1907. Since then, something like 280 racers, riders and spectators have died during the 2 weeks of the TT.
You may like to see the Connor Cummings crash. He survived and after recovering resumed racing.
The IOM race is a time trial. Riders start at ten second intervals.
Two weeks of practice and two weeks of racing in IOM.
IOM circuit is 26 miles and they do 6 laps.
No. One week of practice, one week of racing. 2 weeks total. TT is in May/June, ManxGP on the same track is in August, but is more for semi-pro riders, including classic bikes etc.
TT week on the Island is over 2 weeks the first week is practice week where the roads are closed in the middle of the working day so people can get to and from work then the 2nd week is the actual races, as I'm in the building trade i take it as a holiday because driving that week is a task! with all the extra bikes on the road and the detours just to get from A to B as the race coarse is mostly the main roads
Love the way you say that you " think" they do some practise to get a feel for it!😂🤣
6:04 - It sounds like a jet because it's supercharged. The Kawasaki H2R is a one of a kind motorcycle that's not street legal, it can only be used on tracks or for things like the demo lap shown in the various clips during the video.
Men that are fearless!
This is all part of the 'Irish Roadracing'. I attended the Ulster Grand Prix in Belfast a few years ago. The pole sitter for the super bike class hit 204mph in the speed trap. It's seriously dangerous and mind-blowing.
One of my former neighbours died doing this. To be honest I dont know whether to admire his bravery or just consider it as total madness!
The onboard footage really shows you how on a knife edge they really are.
The race is terrific. But it’s also known for having hosted some epic rock concerts over the decades.
Incredible
Worlds greatest road race it's mind blowing how fast it is it's fantastic.
Lost a relative here ( Ian Bell of Bedlington Northumberland) he loved this place RIP Ian , you should react to the sidecars, ( Combinations.
I lived there for 10 years it shocked me every single year how fast they went i never got used to it.
In the past, the World Championships were held here. A street course full of stone walls with no safety zone. If it crashes, it means death. There is no prize money for the Isle of Man TT race. It's a deadly race where only status and honor are at stake. I respect all the riders who take part in this race.
3 competitors died in 2023. 2022 equalled the highest ever figure with 6 deaths that fateful year. Not a sport to be taken lightly.
It is. As a long time rider these folks have my deepest awe and respect. MotoGP is awesome as well. Forza Vale`!
A lot of the clips are from the Southern 100, North West 200 and the Ulster GP.
There are two big race meetings on the IOM the TT and the Manx Grand Prix. Both use the same mountain circuit which uses normal roads and is 37.72 miles long. It has well over 200 corners and takes about 3 years to learn it. It has practice week which closes the roads in the evening.
They don't really compete against each other directly they compete against the clock and the fasted time wins. They start at 10 second intervals. The longest race is 6 laps which is 226 miles has 2 pit stops to refuel and change tyres.
The fastest lap is 16 mins 36.1 seconds which is an AVERAGE speed of 136 mph (219 kph). The top speed these guys hit is just over 200 mph. The race record for 6 laps (226 miles) is 1 hour 43 mins 8 seconds.
Its a must for any bike race fan
No margin for error at all. I have done track days on a Honda 1000 twin, but I can’t imagine doing these speeds on normal highways and towns. Tracks are much safer, as all the solid objects that you can hit have been eliminated. Hats off to the competitors.
This race and WRC, preferable Rally in snow is my favourites to watch. F1 will do as long as a Fellow Dane is in the race. Same with Le Mans.
Those are parallel 4 cylinders bro… crazy flyby sounds crazy fast and yes crazy light after those exhausts being installed
I’ll be there in june 2024 to watch it live , going to be an awesome party 🍻🍺🍻🇬🇧🇮🇲👌
I believe it was Steve Hislop had an excellent on board camera of the full race track.
I'd highly recommend going to watch a car or bike race as it's a massive buzz, where I live has a lot of stages used in the world and British rally so I always pop along to watch when they're racing, I stumbled across a rally stage trail running once and stopped to wait and see some cars pass, and well I stopped in the wrong spot as when the first car appeared it was going flat out and passed me by a foot, scared the crap out of me! 🤣
A total of 157 riders have lost their lives racing and practicing for the tt since 1907 and something around 260 in total including Manx races and other events . You have to be a special breed to race the TT
Interesting that the Isle of Man was new to you. Good old USA education at its best
You got to be a certain type of crazy to do this but massive respect to those crazy riders :)
There is a doctor running with them. A world-class rider himself, he has to keep up in case of an accident. A few years ago 1 of those doctors was killed in a 180mph accident.
Was that John Hinds? If so, there are a few videos here on UA-cam of presentations of his; very interesting and funny! 👍🏻😊
Fun to watch you to watch this video. If you haven't already, check out the stats. There has been way more than 200 people died since this began in 1907. Riders and spectators both. The course is almost 38 miles around the Island with 219 turns. That is just one lap of the TT.
It's a two week event at the last week of may and the first week of june. The first week is "practice week" and the second is "race week", also there is a sister event that has smaller engined bikes that are normally more "old school" called the Manx Grand Prix at the end of August.
Excellent reaction you two, you should watch 'Peter Hickman lap with a head camera', it's brilliant, three cheers to you two ooo, thanks
Last week of May is practice, first week of June is race week. To convert from miles per hour to kilometres per hour, divide by five and then multiply by eight.
You should look at the whole lap of Isle of Man TT with official camera. That is spectacular
There’s POV video from top riders running the course. Those are well worth a look.
They know every cm of the entire 37 miles track…there are many series of videos about the TT Race that are worth viewing…still I dig your video guys 👍🏼
I'm English.
You need to visit the Manx Time Trial at least once in person.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed blows away all other car shows / events too globally.
If you are interested in this video then go and watch Between the Hedges… it’s a mini docu-series with interviews of the riders themselves and information about the Isle of Man event!
Oh and here’s a fun fact… the riders front tyre after the race has two miles less wear on it due to it being off the ground so often throughout the race.
i thought that i can handle everything on a bike....but............i was there once and i scared the sh.....out of myself when i tried it full! these racers are the best of the BEST
in 1970 my wife and I entered the 2 1/4 mile IOM hillclimb event .. Jane Wallinger took ladies FTD and new ladies record and I took outright FTD with a record time of 7o something seconds for the 2 1/4 mile standing start event . My top speed approaching Creg Ny Baa pub the opposite way / direction the Bikes race on .was limited to 143mph on the engine rev limiter . With higher gearing My car would have easily exceeded 200mph .Leaving the Creg ny Baa pub corner My car was airborne over the humps in the road .And that was uphill at 143 mph
Good Reaction though I assume you use Kilometres because when you said the speeds were 200mph Jodi didn't respond too much but when, later, you said 300+ Kilometres then Jofu went WOW ! even though there was little difference after conversion:)
207 miles per Nour. Genius!
Bolt.....
