The only bad thing about these series of films is that they will have to end sometime I guess, brilliant Thanks.
True TT fans respect the dedication the riders put into conquering the most dangerous course in the world, that’s what makes being a TT fan a special breed apart…..you will sit on a hedge for hours, even through delays in the schedule, just to witness how damn special these men & women are, the ultimate road warriors…..👍🇮🇲👌
Ive been 43 times ,and still have to go to Keppel Gate,as an old man, like me now ,told me it was the best spot to watch ,when coming over on the boat in 1978.
I've been a Marshal at 4 TT's and I love the look on newbie spectators faces when the first one comes through! The silence broken by the faint buzzing getting louder and louder..... Then the phenomenal noise and the pressure wave.... Love it!
Thanks so much for this series. The TT remains on my bucket list.
Hi Marco, life’s too short, you need to tick this one off your bucket list, you’ll love the whole experience 👍
I'd go every year if I could..
I've been once and am so grateful for that!
As a lifelong fan, this series really moves me, especially this episode as it's about US. Gutted to be missing it this year but I'll get back there very soon. Great stuff, keep it up 👏👏👏
Love TT from India 🇮🇳
loving this series. I just hope the NW200 goes ahead this year.....
I think they’ll sort something for it as that area of Northern Ireland does rely on it for a lot of income.
It's not happening nw 200
@@davejones290 they had the meet the riders show last week for the nw so something is going to happen
@@Team-fabulous cheers for that
Seeing the TT in person is literally spine tingling
spotted myself marshalling on this one! just as the 2 side cars comd through as conor talks about milntown
I’m 62 now, I will be there before I left….at the isle of man, where mens are gladiators….all the words said on this is like Poesie for every bikedriver
Great to hear Tom booth Amos getting a mention brilliant young rider and as far as his interviews go a lovely lad I,m a big fan
I grew up on the Island. I rode bikes there (none racing). I lived through Joey's time, Hislops white charger, the two Honda display. I'll be honest, while its good to catch a real glimpse, and to feel real in terms of seeing it, depending on where you are, and what race, you see the riders once a lap, then its 18 mins or so and you see them again. Usually in crowded spots where its hard to find a great viewing spot. None the less, the three week period has a great flavour, atmosphere, and its well worth a visit.
But, and I really mean this. The TT can only gain so much interest from the die hard's. What the media folks are doing is going to have it explode. The coverage is now next level. And I think its only going to be a bit of time before the interest matches the event, and it will be world reknown, not as it is now, but on a whole new level.
Then will come the corporates and kill it off for the 'real fans' just like many other sports............
T.T. is everything!!!
My first time was back in 2019 my grandfather was from the Isle of Man the name of my family is kinley which is manx I love it and can't wait to see it this year as I live in Morecambe home town to mcpint the Morecambe missile 🏍️🏍️🏍️
It’s a place of real gladiators, legends and heroes. There is nowhere else like it on the planet.
Goosebumps spring to mind! I cant fcukin wait😜👍
The thing I didn’t expect experiencing when I first watched the TT live was the deep ripping sound of bike and leather-clad rider tearing through the air as they pass you, just feet away… the TV doesn’t ever capture that sensation.
What a great series can’t for the tt 😆
The greatest race on the planet. Hope they run it forever.
Pure poetry in motion 💯
I went to St Ninians, I was lucky enough to see these boys barrel down bray hill while at school
Loving this series!!!
pure class , production quality is awesome
True riders true fans
Greatest show on the planet 💪 thank you for uploading!
This series is so emotion-full and interesting and real in such a way..
Outstanding work guys, will tell you that on each and every episode, keep up the awesome work ✌✌❤❤
Espectacular 🇮🇲🇮🇲🔥🔥,la mejor competencia de motocicletas,la Meca del motociclismo,esperando con ansiedad el TT 2023🔥🔥🔥🔥🇮🇲✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Ghoosebumps at 6 minits in mate. FFS this series is amazing
TT needs to be filmed at 120hz or higher.. 4 frames per shot isnt enough 😂 - Loving this series so much.
Incredible, on my list to go over there 1 year and watch......from other events I know being there is so different from TV
Really nice 👍
Exelent
What an awesome series this is. I absolutely love it. But can you please turn the background music down when the riders are talking. Some are softly spoken and have strong accents and the music makes their conversation a bit hard to hear. Thanks 👍
Brilliant 👍
Milkys hair should win an award
I will make this trip one time. Bucket list trip.
No matter where the riders stand at the end of an IOM TT race, no matter what number they sport on front, each and every one of them has cajones bigger than their bikes fuel tank. As a motorcycle rider for more than 30 years, I know, hitting 100MPH on ordinary roads, by itself, is mental, but doing at least 3 laps, with average speeds of 130+ MPH, on a nearly 38 mile long race track? That’s a level of mental I don’t think many riders can stomach, leave alone achieve. Salute to these special brand of racers, because for me, they are committed to the truest form of racing this planet has ever had.
Fantastic
I am from Douglas this is a really good show ❤ thanks
Love this series of videos
Much Love to The Island of Mann TT Motorcycle Racing and all the People who live there and work so hard . Thank you All.
it’s weird being from the isle of man growing up with the races and im 18 not many of my mates are interested in the races witch boggles my mind there’s nothing i look forward to more especially now i live and work in england just pray i’ll be able to book atleast a week off to get home and witness this magical race again
Have been to many, many MotoGP and WSBK races also F1,, INDYCAR and sooooo many Supercars, but No1 on my bucket list is IOM TT…!!!
One day…
Great series , thanks a lot !
good vid keep up the good vid the tt is a buzzs to be there thanks lee
100% motorcycling is really living life.
What a fantastic serie! Absolutely awesome! So well done. Pure emotions for the greatest race in the world
Cant wait for the season to start , the first race im going to see is the road races in the Netherlands in Hengelo Gelderland .
One of the Isle man TT riders ( Ilja caljouw) is always there and the team he rides for has his roots in Hengelo
Didn't know there was a road race in the Netherlands. Gonna have to check that out.
@@jalapinya its on youtube if you look up " Varsselring 2021 " you get enough footage nothing like the Isle of man or nw200 but still awesome
@@denniz1990 Cool, thanks man!
I like it this channel TT..
please keep making these
Amazing series I would love to go
Another great vid, whats going to happen with the TT this year now that the Irish road racing calendar seems to be off due to insurance costs.. where do the riders get the signatures/practice?!
Simplesmente místico. 🇧🇷
Great to not only see the intensity of this legendary race, but insight into the legends partaking. So incredible!!
Motorbikes are a healthy addiction, and is for life.
All of these have been brilliant.
The bikes go past so fast I could feel the air being sucked out of my lungs - TT 2014...
This has to be the most amazing bike race I've ever seen!
tt❤
these episodes have been amazing to watch.. thank you
Bit rich making a video about "sitting in the hedges" when you make more and more spots prohibited every year. Very few good spots left any more. Milkys, the run through Glen Helen, Rhencullen, Quarry Bends, Signpost... all closed down by the same people who have made this video!
A shadow of what it used to be!
To be fair alot of its safety. If a spectator dies or get injured its alot worse than a rider in terms of running the event again next year. Main reason alot of road racing in nz got stopped
You haven't seen fast until you've seen this for real
Love this series, wish I could go watch the TT one day!
When Valentino stands at bray Hill and says this is crazy says it all if you have never witnessed it go it's fukin incredible.
John mackintosh can't let go
As someone else said, background music is too loud and competing with the dialogue, other than that, great footage and series 👍
I think that the TT is currently the greatest race on the planet but I have to remind people that it may be unique today but there have been road races in the past. The most fantastic was the Mille Miglia in Italy and in 1955 Stirling Moss, driving a Mercedes, completed it in virtually the same average speed as Geoff Duke had in the same year at the TT. The only difference was the Moss did it over a 1000 mile road course. Think about that for a moment.
Is that Shakey narrating? Great job whom ever it is.
“Gladiatorial” This
Macpint
Wonder what the cost of going to the TT would cost? Leaving from the USA.
In Texas stacking BTC in bear market. Next Halving, TT in sight
Just wish film makers would stop putting music over people talking. So annoying. But loving this short series. Wishing I was back on the island
Anyone from the States that can recommend a travel agency or someplace that can handle all of the details from transpo to lodging? I’m looking to plan for next year
Can someone please tell me what John said?
1:30 it's because the world is more sanitized than ever that you, your wife and your kids are all still alive and feel safe to move around, sir.
These days you'll never get the likes of Mick Grant brushing your knees with his elbow as he goes by ..........things have been sanitised over the years - however if you've never been before worth it for the spectacle..... then come back for the Classic - a much better experience...
Can't hear a poxy thing that they say because the music is so loud
Nah, addiction is please no more but you do it anyway.
🏜️🌵
I bet you can't ride as I do
The real riders know meca is on the isle of Mann. the greatest name of the land of WTF lets race. that is how it started over 100 years ago when the Brits said no speeding motorcycles on the streets. so lets go to Ireland. where you have the dare devil gene built into our DNA . Ishorinso Honda build Honda by understanding how important racing is to Honda. " If we did not race we would not be Honda. " the boss said that in the early 60"s Honda is still there. and taking the podium as well. MY youtube channel is reclaiming basket cases .. my daily has a HRC crest on her track suit. fireblade. say no more.
Turn that music off
turn your music down i would rather hear the bike and the talk without it.
some of these guys act as if they're some sort of historical heroes slash philosophers. or maybe it's just the editing...
ps: rotten teeth are disgusting, i'm sry but wtf
Shallow, superficial, thick as fuck, Yank are we?
Turn the annoying music off and lets hear what they’re saying FFS !
I liked the video but didn't watch entirely because i hate these stupid "emotional" musics. It could do without.
Great video again, thanks! Can‘t wait to be back! 😎 Legends, all of them riding there! 🤘
That reminds me: Still haven‘t finalized the 2022 video of our TT trip… 🫣
I’d been dreading this moment but it was nice too be the tt fan 😂😂😂
yes tt is nuts but guys saying you dont get it anywhere else........Ireland folks,north and south plenty of fast racing and exciting in their own ways..just saying,even though cancelled again!!
