I think someone once asked Michael Rutter what was it like doing 200mph in the rain,and he said,it was like riding in the dark with all the lights off !!!
You and me both, I have never understood why NASCAR is so popular. I mean I love all racing, but to me Formula 1 and MotoGP are much better and require so much skill that an oval track racer doesn't get.
Ive always preferred F1, Grand Prix, and endurance/ cross country style racing to nascar. Those poor GPS units: left turn ahead, turn left in 1000 feet, turn left, left turn ahead, turn left in - - - - lol.
This is the kind of sport which whether you use drug enhancements or not, whether your bike is more modified than the expected standards or not, everyone who finishes the race alive is a winner....
0:14 they don't see sh..t, I always said, 500 cc back on 87/88/89 was insane, like driving a formula 1 with only 2 wheels, Road Racers are beyond that, absolutely crazy, you deserve all the respect you got, jeez..
Have you ever seem Guy Martin coming into a corner at 170 mph. he braked but there was nothing there, his gearbox had broken up,all he could do was leap off the bike,or hit a stone wall head on. He leapt off ,its spectacular. Luckiest man on Earth to be alive, and lucky for him there were no viewers sitting on tbe bank. View it on U tube. Its the only time I saw Guy Martin looking shook up. and who could blame him. The mystery is how did he ever race again, it would always be on your mind,if me brakes fail again there is nothing I can do
@@laurielovett8849 I'm a huge fan of the TT and Guy, he's as good, fast as he is humble, ua-cam.com/video/Naz5gz_zyRc/v-deo.html watch until the end, 'he said once, if I don't pay attention, I can die, that's why TT is spécial and why I still race here
I used to ride a Honda 350 road bike when I was in college. Going 70 mph up the I5 from Portland to Seattle in the rain used to scare the living sh*t out of me; especially with the 18 wheelers passing me on the left and right sides almost pulling my bike into the trailer's side draft. These guys simply blow my mind. The gene for fear is definitely missing from these guys DNA. Simply amazing!
So much for proof reading on my last post, but I would rather race on an open track then a closed circuit, adrenaline junkie, on my bike vest, I have a patch that says Suzuki rider til the day I die, I was forced to give up riding or risk my career, then I ended up quitting the force, now at 51, wondering if I should get me a Suzuki Hyabusa or a Suzuki M109 Boulevard.
A motorcyclist is a different breed... There are people on motorbikes and motorcyclists, you need to be born this way... For one like me riding is not something to do... IT'S A NEED! I was 10 when I first told to my mother that I wanted a motorbike. I've even gone to work into another country to have the money to finally buy one; you will never understand fully if you aren't born this way... It's extremely hard to explain to whom are not born like this what is riding for me... Sometimes I cry when I ride, it's the only moment I feel to be where I belong to. Love you all!
Thanks again Lockk9 - a lot of people (myself included) often rate the TT above all other road racing BUT you cannot deny that the fairing-to-fairing nature of the Ulster circuits brings a whole new level of bravery and expertise to the sport. These guys are totally and utterly awesome.
These guys are nutters. I wonder what that potent mix of equal parts adrenaline and fear feels like, just hugging the bike for dear life while knowing it may ironically be what kills you. Very well put together. just... exhilarating... and crazy.
Good to see William dunlop there. I hope he's racing on the other side with that same grin on his face. Rest in peace man,you and your racing family will be remembered in road racing till the end of time itself.
I thought i knew the TT pretty well. The crazy speeds the riders achieve. The balance and controlled drifts through corners. But never before did i see them race in the wet. Or at least not with a speedometer. Man, this is insane. My respect has grown even further.
A message to all of our fellow Americano bike racer boys. Get your asses over to Ireland and Isle of Man . See what what its really all about. Great racing , Great people. THE BEST!!
First of all rest in peace, Simon Andrews. He was so young and had so much life ahead of him. And second of all, respect to all of these brave racers. The world of motorsport and really the world at large would be a lesser place without them. It's these people that represent humans the best. The people who keep pushing the limit, not content with sitting still. And as always Lockk9 your videos are amazing.
I road sportbikes for 3 years on the roads in Va.wide open on the edge,I have the utmost respect for these riders,its a adrenaline rush most will never know,may God be with you all
In the mid to late 1970s raced a Yamaha mono shock TZ 250 ordered from Japan. It came in a crate race ready except for a fairing and Kenny Roberts was King. I Raced this wonderful machine and a super twitchy old TA125 all up and down the east cost with the WERA. I weighted under 130 lbs. then. But Now I am 73 years old and slowly disappearing. But watching this man video my heart cried to go to that fifth dimension once again and likely not return alive to the drudgery of safe.
I admire these riders you have to have balls of steel and a heart like a Lion. I have been riding for 38 years and rode some crazy roads but that is nothing compared to that plus the speed is out of this world. Way out of my league man I will stay on my side of the fence. Love to go there and see a race someday great scenes.
I thought I was brave until I discovered motorbike road racing vids. These guys are just amazing. Most entertaining sport of all. MotoGP is rather dull in comparison
I'm speechless, almost, overcome with emotion, no other way to describe it, the genius, the bravery, the sheer raw talent of these riders display here is truly amazing. To think, the ability to race at those speeds and in some appalling wet conditions, takes a very special individual. Unbelievable, simply unbelievable..... And as someone who films and edits four wheeled motorsport, I appreciate the time and effort that was put in to making this masterpiece, whoever is responsible, I take my hat off, magnificent indeed. Thank you.
Anil G, I disagree that they are “stupid”. They are taking great risk. Stupidity would indicate their risk returns no benefit. If no one ever took any risk, we would all still be traveling on foot. The only way the boundaries that dictate what is possible are broken are when men and women of conviction choose to push those boundaries. Sometimes at great personal cost. I’m grateful for them all and I pray for their safety.
Freaking legendary , no other feat matches this sporting event . 190 in rain . Unreal . Be safe riders and thank you for this truly entertaining event . Wwooowww
No matter how much I watch this, i can never forget the atmosphere (If its great on video, you can guess how it would be when youre actually there!). May our departed brethren rest in peace.

Excellent! Great editing. The bikes, the faces of the riders, the on board views, and aerial shots. Especially the faces of the riders. This is the Isle of MEN!
Can't wait for this years TT! Someone just did a wheelie at 0.03. Godamn! At that speed and weather condition, plus the normal tarmac road. Crazy! This is like the extreme circus for motorbikes.
I can't get over the current (pre 2015 IOMTT) Mountain Course record holder (Bruce Anstey) not being able to negotiate that turn. Even the best make mistakes. God Himself must be riding with these guys! Balls to the wall! I love 'em!
Excellent yet again lock99....best sport on this planet, total & complete respect for the skill & bravery for each & every rider who races on the roads. There's many more road races besides the TT, NW200 & UGP & most of these races are held in Ireland, long may it continue!!
Great video. This is the NW200 roadrace on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Great seeing Joey and Robert side by side on the magic roundabout again.
My sport is F1 but you cant help looking at these guys in Awe absolute legends the amount of deaths is horrible but you can see why they do it going to the TT next year can't wait
Vaya manera de jugarse la vida. Aquí no hay protecciones como en los circuitos. Cuando hay accidentes y mueren los motoristas, todo el mundo se echa las manos a la cabeza lamentándolo, pero todos los aficionados que lo siguen desean que corran esos riesgos y se la jueguen a mas de 300 km.h. en cada curva. No desean sus muertes, pero desean que se la jueguen.

Can't agree with you more on that one!!! The TT has taken to many but they all past doing what they love.
Utterly awesome 🙏
Winner: defined as one who finishes. yes.
McQueen said it best and it's true for any motor racing. "...it's a professional blood sport and it can happen to you, and then it can happen again."

I rode a GSXR 1100 for 9 years, and seeing these guy's ride this fast still leaves me in awe!!
By far the most dangerous racing on the planet.
Agree.
Phenomenal skill !

And the best!!! 👍😎

These roads are in a lot better shape by video then here in Vegas

There's a very fine line between skill and suicide. These guys walk it.
They ride it and live it like it's the last day on Earth. For some, that may be true unfortunately.
I looove that line -, This is Racing

It's a ruthless blend of skill, dedication and titanium balls 🫐
Look at these bikes closely...bet u can see two little dents on the back of the fuel tank from steel balls

Mad respect for these guys. They are awesome and so is road racing.

I have raced motocross and flat track for many years . This type of racing is border line insanity!
Fantástico show adrenalina pura uns dos meus sonhos correr
I just can't get enough of your videos. Excellent!

1:09 perfect countersteering example.
What a beautiful video.
Music
Most dangerous motor racing but still love to watch
Modern day GLADIATORS,💯
200 mph on a island on two wheels sometimes one. And at 41 seconds those two wanted the same section of road. My gawd these guys have big balls
On wet road- 270 -300kmph. No words to describe them. Living on the edge. Long live TT
Its NOT the TT ffs
I think this is "Ulster GP". 🤔
One of those best videos ever watched.#1
"Its a mans sport this!" :P
Nice music, nice video, keep it up!! I feel invincible now. Can't wait for the rain to go away!!
1:08 = serious skill!!
Respect the real hero God blessed🙏
