This is absolute great stuff... this proves one thing... "The Rider, the Bike and the Conditions", three factors to fail or succeed. Just love the ancient races much much more than the modern one's!!! Goodwood shines again ;-)
Epic riding and epic entertainment!!!! I love that this Barry Sheene MT race was kept going by the race controller for as long as possible in the rain. Barry was The Rain Meister and would have approved!
Sometimes better to have a loose bike in the wet. That bike will have many modern components and re-engineered tolerances within it. I owned a 1937 500 Special,wish I`d kept it.
Even while falling he maintains a tight grasp on the handle bar Edit: apparently he was trying to grab the clutch to prevent the engine from stalling. Absolutely brilliant!
You don't know you don't know what your not knowing . Well maybe now you do, but still, probably no smarter for it. At the end of the day, keeping the rubber side down, that's cool.
I have a 1958 racing bicycle, no mods aside from slightly more modern brakes and chain, still give it the beans to a point. No point hanging these machines on walls or sitting in a museum, they were meant to race.
My father handed on the legend of Rudge to me. Telling me stories of his youth with BSA's Norton's and Vincent's. He told me Rudge amalgamated with Whitworth an engineering company and British manufacturer. Whitworth established the standard BSB or British Standard Whitworth. I still have some Whitworth spanners in my tool chest. Reminds me of Rudge when I come across them.
Class act by Goodwood and all the racers involved as usual. I was lucky enough to attend a couple of events there , and let me tell you , between this and any Canadian motorcycle event , there is NO COMPARSON . At Goodwood we saw competitors treating each other with respect and good natured friendship . The races were run in a competent and professional manner . At Canadian events , of which I have attended AND competed in MANY , there exists such a culture of attitude , both arrogant and mean natured , that true enjoyment of the sport is difficult to achieve . As well , Canadian " fans" tend to be the least loyal when it comes to standing by " their " favorite riders when someone has an off day and doesn't make the podium . That in fact suited us fine because if we came in 3 rd or forth place , we didn't have to worry about some " fan " making off with a " souvenir " from our pit area should we win that day. On the weekends we did win , the security ropes came out before the brown nose " fans" would descend on us . My mechanic even had his wallet lifted from his back pocket one day at Shannonville when he was standing too close to our security ropes around our pits. Of coarse being Canada , there were " no " witnesses .
I'm sure their tires are brand new with good tread, warmed to a good temperature, and the track is spotlessly clean and perfectly smooth. If you fall on a race track (like Corser does here), absolutely nothing happens, there's barely any risk. If you have a slide IRL, you get wrapped around a tree, light pole, etc. So don't worry about it, road and track riding are completely different.
OK, I know the Rudge isn’t THAT much older than the other bikes, and WW II did put a damper on the development of motorcycle technology, but how the hell did it not only keep up with all the other bikes, but pass them too?!?! Just incredible- great riders,and a great race!
It looked like McGuinness kinda lost his mojo when he got tapped on the back as he got passed...like he quit racing after that...kind of funny I think.
can ask you guys why motogp bikes need to spin up first before the racing? like i saw some machine where they spin up the tire then go to the race track (im not referring to heating up the tires.)
the Rudge is not just an ancient bike ... it's more of a legendary bike , 4 Valve head in the 30' ... it was ahead of its time ... they are of course super rare , thanks to the Jerry's who bombed the Rudge factory ( located in Coventry ) during WWII ... an old friend of mine owns one .... and he races it ... whenever he gets the bike out of his van , there is some wealthy guy asking him : "how much ? " ... and he goes every time : NOT FOR SALE ! NOT SORRY !
Of course the engines are running but they are not in gear .. Why the Hell would they try to pass a running bike from one man to another in gear .. Oh it takes 1/10 second to put it in gear ….
I ❤ watching these races and Troy on the old Beemer, & Scott Smart with the cheeky wave😂 going for the Harvey Smith cup! Great fun. Charlie Williams on the girder link Rudge. I get more invested in the old stuff than motoGP these days. 🇦🇺🦘
Stupid commentary..... Manxs and G50s competed year after year in the island and yet someone always won..... it's because they weren't all identical. It depended on how quick you were and who did the engine and how good your setup was.
The only thing that would make this event better is the riders wearing proper motorcycling gear of ancient times - flat cap. goggles, flannel jacket, shirt, tie and brogues.
ignore my ignorance pls, this is the first time I've watched this type of racing.. I don't use the word often but i'm willing to make an exception here: i fckn LOVE this on so many levels! ;}
Hosey on a charge ,would've love to see it finish to see results .Nice guy who races all different from enduro to race circuits an as good as the best .I first met him when I was 9 and he was bike shop mechanic havin lunch, he heard me asking for a carb and shop would only sell me new one , he said hang on I got a box in the back , routed the right carb out and said go pay a couple a quid .i always think of him highly to bother to help out younger kid to keep them riding
I absolutely am enjoying this race!!!! Classic bike with Iconic riders! It doesn't get any better and the worry of someone getting killed is not so great. That's the best part.👍👍
Crikey that’s a fantastic race. I honestly cannot watch any road racing now, I still enjoy speedway but any other motorcycle racing I can’t get into. This, though, is awesome! All of the Goodwood racing is just brilliant, no matter the category.
Troy puts it on John at the start ? Then John takes back the lead again from Troy before both riders can make the first lap of racing handle bar to handle in the rain on ventage thunder bikes ? Priceless literally , priceless footage! And for Troy 15 sec. of fame and braging rights running with the big dogs !
Wow, what a great race! As a long time corner worker, watching these guys throwing it about in the wet is so exciting. And wet racing really shows who's comfortable on the bike.
The best thing that could have happened to me, was taking my first training during two days of insane, cold, April showers. They said "rain or shine" - We didn't see any "shine." By regulations they had to give us the choice to refuse taking the final graduation test, it was raining that hard on the last afternoon. F' that was the collective response.
djyul isn't that what you guys call a nice summer day in Britain? They are using summer tires. Lol. I wouldn't even have pulled those fossils out of the trailer.
Um espectáculo extraordinário! Estas motos são obras de arte e os pilotos eram aventureiros destemidos! Desde criança que adoro estas máquinas e respectivos pilotos! Obrigado!
Go the Aussies! Troy Corser grew up not all too far from me, and even when he was busy he’d always stop to say hi to someone who wound recognise him Top bloke
That was some of the most entertaining racing I've watched in long while
Could not turn it off.

Charlie Williams and Mike Farrell beat the lot on a 1933 TT Rudge, heroic, splendid, superb!

True badassery
Not just Brilliant gust out of this world too
Normal
You might think you look cool on your motorcycle, but you're not Dragging knee, in the rain, while riding a museum piece cool, that's for sure.
You don't know you don't know what your not knowing .
Well maybe now you do, but still, probably no smarter for it. At the end of the day, keeping the rubber side down, that's cool.
Most of the field knew this!
You think that you look cool posting bullshit on YT but you're not. Because you don't know about modern wet-weather tires.
Far from 'dragging knee' sir.
Ni!
It's fascinating seeing these old bikes ridden with modern techniques.
This is why us old guys like nostalgia.
Charlie Williams, balls of solid brass on that Rudge.
Respect to bike owners for telling 'em to race it hard - balls out!
I have a 1958 racing bicycle, no mods aside from slightly more modern brakes and chain, still give it the beans to a point. No point hanging these machines on walls or sitting in a museum, they were meant to race.
@@ynotnilknarf39 kudos to you man ! may i know what kind of bikes you own ?
The Rudge was loving the wet conditions, I feel these old bikes have a soul and where re living old memories of days gone by : ) great fun to watch.

I love these memorial races!
Surprisingly I knew so many names in this race..

these guys lean on water, riding ancient bikes, more than i do on a modern bike on dry roads.. brb, setting myself on fire.
bike or rider limitation?
Rider, absolutely certain.
I'm sure their tires are brand new with good tread, warmed to a good temperature, and the track is spotlessly clean and perfectly smooth.
If you fall on a race track (like Corser does here), absolutely nothing happens, there's barely any risk. If you have a slide IRL, you get wrapped around a tree, light pole, etc.
So don't worry about it, road and track riding are completely different.
The Small Tires are also quite good in the Wet, where larger ones tend to Float .
Shame that the BMW fell so early though.
@@MyFabian94 So early? It fell into a lake lol
This incredible to watch! Great bikes, great skill!
OK, I know the Rudge isn’t THAT much older than the other bikes, and WW II did put a damper on the development of motorcycle technology, but how the hell did it not only keep up with all the other bikes, but pass them too?!?! Just incredible- great riders,and a great race!
Methanol probably helped... but what a ride! What a pair of riders!! Excellent stuff. Les in UK
This race is too much fun! Love it.
This is fascinating. In terms of entertainment this blows NASCAR away.
absolutely amazing
It's such a shame it ended that way with so many great riders involved,they must have been really pissed off,all the same,so entertaining by these men
Corser needed a jetski
4:02
In the rain, killing it! Great riding! Especially on those old slow ass English bikes, well done!
Just watching this and it reminds me why i got into bikes,fun!,so much better than todays overpaid GP stars.
I concur completely!
lol very ignorance
That was awesome.
Watching this made me realize how much F1 sucks.
Everything about modern day F1 sucks .
Watch it on dirt, absolutely braindead.
LOL, and how shit a rider i am
How many times have you made that comment and in how many video's?
Check out motorcycle ice racing
Wonderful Race !!!
A LOVE YOU BARRY TU ME MANQUE COURSE SPECTACULAIRE
You’d think there would be more crashing. I like that they don’t crash these beautiful old bikes.
I'd be so afraid of hurting the bike more than I would worry about getting hurt myself. I'm sure those guys probably felt the same way.
SuperNice that UA-cam suggests this video! I love it!
Could somebody tell me the difference between the white and yellow numbers? Pre and Post WW2?
We've NEVER heard of the "
Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy" in Hull,UK in Corona virus lockdown period in 2020!!..... :)
It looked like McGuinness kinda lost his mojo when he got tapped on the back as he got passed...like he quit racing after that...kind of funny I think.
That's just racing, always vying for the top spot and leaving other's in their dust.
79 years young.
Må montere bakratt på sykkelen?
is this the bike that captain america used during the war?
can ask you guys why motogp bikes need to spin up first before the racing? like i saw some machine where they spin up the tire then go to the race track
(im not referring to heating up the tires.)
They don't. Maybe your refer to the external starter that's used to spin the rear wheel to start the bike.
crash at 3:50...
Great race, fun to watch, shame about the red flag.
the Rudge is not just an ancient bike ... it's more of a legendary bike , 4 Valve head in the 30' ... it was ahead of its time ... they are of course super rare , thanks to the Jerry's who bombed the Rudge factory ( located in Coventry ) during WWII ... an old friend of mine owns one .... and he races it ... whenever he gets the bike out of his van , there is some wealthy guy asking him : "how much ?

Brits are hilarious! Awsome riding
Super Cool
Barry Sheena died so young
Clicked off after Corser went out.
Corser looks good even falling off.
Faster bikes and cars dont make racing any better necessarily
is this Caferacer???
These are not Café Racers, but these bikes are the Inspiration of them.
Of course the engines are running but they are not in gear .. Why the Hell would they try to pass a running bike from one man to another in gear .. Oh it takes 1/10 second to put it in gear ….

Insane and graphical pictures. LOL

Stupid commentary..... Manxs and G50s competed year after year in the island and yet someone always won..... it's because they weren't all identical. It depended on how quick you were and who did the engine and how good your setup was.
Miserable as this English weather Bob.
Who in their right mind gives an Australian a classic bike to race ? They have no respect for anything.
Yes that was great : )
The only thing that would make this event better is the riders wearing proper motorcycling gear of ancient times - flat cap. goggles, flannel jacket, shirt, tie and brogues.
As Kenny Roberts said about racing in the rain...It's still a race, it's just raining.
ignore my ignorance pls, this is the first time I've watched this type of racing.. I don't use the word often but i'm willing to make an exception here: i fckn LOVE this on so many levels! ;}
Check out dirt track, and ice racing if you haven’t seen them.
All the stuff in this channel is amazing
Could watch this over modern gp anyday real competition of skill
These bikes are museum pieces but they’re still going for it, proper racing, great to watch. Awesome riding.
gotto love watch these old girls getting used the way they were intended
I'll never forget seeing this live. It was frightening and excitement at the same time!
Wow
These guys are nuts! This is so awesome!! 😂😂.
A 1933 Rudge going that well. Absolutely unreal. Good wood always has amazing racing.
Imagine the race this would have been if Troy had stayed on! All kudos to the Rudge though, absolutely amazing!!
Spoke to the Rudge owner today at Oulton Park (where it went well against much more modern tackle),he told us to watch this race...brilliant win :)
My '70 BSA Royal star was the best transport year-round for eight years in sun and rain driving to work in Vancouver. Love these old dears.
Brilliant pilots on brilliant bikes!!!
Hosey on a charge ,would've love to see it finish to see results .Nice guy who races all different from enduro to race circuits an as good as the best .I first met him when I was 9 and he was bike shop mechanic havin lunch, he heard me asking for a carb and shop would only sell me new one , he said hang on I got a box in the back , routed the right carb out and said go pay a couple a quid .i always think of him highly to bother to help out younger kid to keep them riding
yet more culture we dont have according to some
Wow. I can smell the castor oil from 55 years ago.
How could anyone give this a dislike?
I absolutely am enjoying this race!!!! Classic bike with Iconic riders! It doesn't get any better and the worry of someone getting killed is not so great. That's the best part.👍👍
This is just brilliant! I love how these guys go to the limit on their vintage bikes.
The youngest ladies there are about 60 yrs old and they're going full beans. How not to love Goodwood.
Watching this with my father in law talking about his days hounding corners of a 500cc triumph... this racing is special
Crikey that’s a fantastic race. I honestly cannot watch any road racing now, I still enjoy speedway but any other motorcycle racing I can’t get into. This, though, is awesome! All of the Goodwood racing is just brilliant, no matter the category.

Came for Corser! That's too bad.

British Riders ! British bikes ! Wet weather riding specialists at their best!!!
Brilliant!
And some German bikes too.
Except Troy Corser who is an Australian.
well this is probably the most embarrassing thing i will read today
There are more than British there you troglodyte.
djyul isn't that what you guys call a nice summer day in Britain? They are using summer tires. Lol. I wouldn't even have pulled those fossils out of the trailer.
3:03 right side you can see oil leaking from valve covers. That's Gunna cost alot to repair.
Xbox needs help
Nah, it’s BMW. They got like 90 years of spare parts lying on the shelves with spare numbers to match.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 yh but not that model and year. The guys at Goodwood try and keep it 100%
Easily fixed.
They just have to call up Ural, they will have the parts.
Epic race :-)

Cal Crutchlow's dad is out there?! Awesome.
This is how all Motorsports racing should be,rain,shine ,snow,18to80,blind dumb crippled or crazy!
Wow ... look at that Rudge. It's a winner
That was brilliant racing!
ohh no troy!!
Go the Aussies! Troy Corser grew up not all too far from me, and even when he was busy he’d always stop to say hi to someone who wound recognise him

Those magnificent men and their "flying" machines !! Now wasn't that fun...
Sorry, but at 11.30 that’s not a Vincent Grey Flash, more like a Norton twin.
That beemer got some punch against 25 years newer bikes. wow. btw gotta love the Norton
