    I'll admit that sometimes I listen to a video rather than watch, but this video is well worth 100% of your attention. A visit to the Isle of Man isn't in the cards for me, but maybe someday I can try.

    When i was a kid in the 70s a kawazaki750-900 went by,not a person cared or even looked,any kind of brit bike went by(typical convict country😀)= whole street,ohhh woowww lookt the isle of the man racing bike....sooo cool(haha,true as god),that is the true legend of the isle,them guys were the idols of every australian kid who loved motorcycles,weather you could afford them or not,harleys wer'nt big in australia back then&basically did'nt exist here,the isle racers impressed me so much as a kid,i bought a 21RE650continental &am in thr process of trying to convert it into an australian themed 60s-early80s isle racer modernretro,ps great video,im going to hopefully ride the isle roads just like this vid oneday ...amazing vid people..amazing place

    Perfect video for this evening. Dinner for one, dogs sleeping, and a lovely guided tour around the Island. Nice detail 👌
    Locals may say this only shows a snippet of the Isle of Man's beauty. Having only been once - years ago - I don't really know better. Completely absorbing journey with you. And a great touch with adding some outtakes at the end 👍

      Thanks Damien, glad you enjoyed. You must book your next trip… ideally on two-wheels.
      Cheers, Michael

    Great video. I used to live there and you've nailed it. I love chugging around on my GS on these types of roads. Can I add the A3 between Ballacraine and Castletown. A blast and quiet, even during the TT.

    It really is a wonderful place. The economy seems to run entirely on coffee and cake. Love it!

    I would say if you're going over for the racing, go for the classic, mostly same riders, older bikes, but the island is quieter, you wont be jammed into pubs or viewing areas, plus the roads are quieter, also try the tram Ramsey to Douglas and the steam train from Douglas to Port Erin. Just a lazy way to see the island.

    As an american, one day i'd love to ride and cruise all those roads and take everything in while taking my time! Beautiful trip for sure!

    The Sloc road is one of my favourites. Personally I prefer riding it from the Port Erin end though to Peel.

    An excellent video but you never mentioned the many green roads on the Island which are well waymarked and accessible to Adventure Bikes Try Laxey to Windy corner.

  • @geoffturton7614
    @geoffturton7614 Рік тому

    And during tt or classic the maximum speed is 50mph! On many of the roads featured

    Take it easy on the Sloc guys. It's a beautiful road but it has killed too many bikers.
