1:18 - They're called tire warmers: they're wrapped all around the tires and have an heating element inside that's powered by an external power supply. They're usually used in colder conditions, to keep the tires at a certain temperature so that the riders don't start with cold tires.
An electric blanket for tires..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Connor, I urge you to take a look at Guy Martin. Not only was he a fine rider but he has also broken many records ( mostly speed based) There is loads of stuff about here on YT. He also has his own channel. He's also a top bloke! 🙂
He is truly a legend, incredibly down to earth and friendly but a demon on the road
couldn't agree more. top bloke. really down to earth. lorry mechanic by trade, amazing motorcycle rider and with a massive passion for anything mechanical. would highly recommend checking out his Rolls Royce Merlin video.
G.M. is a great competitor! Listening and understanding him talk on the other hand requires a translator!..lol..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
You'd love Guy Martin's tv shows. He was/is a mechanic who raced as more of a hobby but as soon as he started to make a name of himself, everyone really gravitated to his brilliant personailty & the TV people realised he'd be a great fit. He's done various record breaking shows, history, travel etc.
yes hes relly good
guy Martin you gotta love him ❤.
Guy Martin -------Legend . He not only rides bikes , he has done documentaries on breaking speed records plus working on Spitfires , a Vulcan bomber ,WW1 tank , 🇬🇧
The worlds fastest tractor.
The wheelies are not for show, it's caused by torque during acceleration and is actually detrimental to aerodynamics and overall speed, but these guys are pushing the bikes to extremes. It's actually pretty scary if it catches you out at 100moh plus. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
Or on the exit of a roundabout
The wheelies are primarily produced by torque under hard acceleration and then some are a combination of torque and a bump or crest that pops the front or gets it up enough for torque to do its thing. Not intentional by the rider.
"You guys have such great grass." A classic quote, great reaction! (And yeah we've got pretty good grass, fields, trees, the works
Guy Martin is an English legend. Many speed records made, also suffered serious accidents too. But he's a truck mechanic, fixes huge Scania lorry engines, but best of all he acquired a Merlin engine, the sort that powered spitfires and Lancaster Bombers in World War 2, fixed it all up, serviced it, and ran it in his house. Big mistake. It took out a wall to his kitchen...ha ha ha. So now he only runs it outdoors. Guy works with a TV company doing all kinds of projects relating to speed (he truly is fearless) and duration. People go out of their way to watch him on British telly. He truly is a one off legend.
As Steddie said. it's time you delved into the legend that is Guy Martin. not just a motorbike racer. totally awesome individual.
Yes that was Guy Martin, you need to google him and watch his documentaries, he is our National treasure as far as I'm concerned.
Lol as an Irishman I'd say he's the new Fred Dibnah
Guy martin is class most down to earth racer ever done loads of records done pikes peak on a home built bike he built himself and still works as a diesel fitter aswell full time
Yes, the first close up, which was of a rider with no helmet was Guy Martin.
Guy Martins most prized possession clip is well worth a watch.
Hi Connor, Guy Martin is the guy you want as a favourite uncle/big brother in your life.
putting the power on tends to lift the front up so it's a delicate balance of putting on the power and keeping in control the lifting actually slows you down so they try not to do it if at all if they can
Guy Martin's channel is called 'Guy Martin Proper'. He has videos on Mechanical, speed and historical stuff.
guy martin is a legend. but also these bikes are rear wheel drive so when the front tyre comes off the ground it actually reduces drag of the bike but also is a result of the speed and weight distribution of the bike
It INCREASES the drag of the bike and slows it down, otherwise they would try to wheelie the complete course.
That last 2 minutes was the Tandrageee 100 , I know it well having driven that course many times and it's only 5 miles from where I live!
The thing that they putting on the tyre was a tyre warmer (an electric heater so the tyres are ready to provide full grip right at the race start). The front wheel lifting is a result of a torque reaction caused by the drive provided from the rear wheel. With really powerful bikes it is a balancing act between how much power they can apply whilst keeping the front down during acceleration. As a consequence an undulation in the road whilst near this limit tends to produce a wheelie. As mentioned in previous videos, we use MPH in the UK (kilometres in the republic of Ireland).
React to Guy Martin's passion for life. I think you will be surprised at how cool this man is.
You should check out some of the world records that Guy Martin has set. 👍 its not all bikes.
Yes, we use Mph in Britain, the distance is always in miles too.
The wheelies aren't intentional. A quick dab of rear brake brings it back.
In the UK, we use a mix of metric and imperial. All road signs are in miles, vehicle speeds are measured in mph, but petrol is sold by the litre. We measure our height in feet and inches, our weight in stones and pounds, but a rugby pitch is 100m in length. Beer comes in imperial pints (20 fl oz, not 16), wine in 750 ml bottles. Like most people around my age (42) and younger, I can work in both for some things, but not for others. I would have to Google my height and weight if I wanted the metric version, but if I'm following a recipe, switching between oz and grams is no problem. Only metric is taught in schools, but our everyday experience is in imperial.
Small distances are in metres, floors are in square metres, wood boards are also in metres, food is in kilograms and temperature is in Celsius.
@@module79l28 '...temperature is in Celsius.' Well, almost. In casual conversation many UK people will insist on using the most appropriate measure to add drama.
Hot weather is rarely described as, say, 30, using Celsius. Instead it will be the far more impressive-sounding 86, using Fahrenheit. By the same measure, cold weather is never 30 F, but will instead be the far colder sounding -1 C.
People are very strange.
@@PortilloMoment - I don't dispute that in casual conversation many will use ºF but officially, it's ºC: weather reports = Celsius; vehicular instrument panel temperature indicator = Celsius; washing machines' water temperature = Celsius; engine coolant specs = Celsius.
The person you were asking if it was Guy, it was and he does all sort of TV stuff some world record challenges like fast cycle and other stuff, I think what your talking about where the handlebars slap from side to side is called a tank slapper (I could be wrong but that's what I know it as) and the wheelies probably mostly are unintentional, sometimes they will pull them on purpose but because they are racing and the throttle is held open as much as poss the front end will keep going light, even more so with a little lump or bit of a drop.
Hey McJibbins always a pleasure to see you react to these insane videos. I love them also. By the way you have really grown and matured since I watched your first video on IOM. But to comment on the wheelies, my guess is their going so fast that the littlest bump would bring that front end off the ground. But I would say it's a bit of both. Can't help it coming up and riding it for fun too. 👍
Yes we do have great grass.❤
I think that footage of guy up against the wall was when he stopped on a practice lap to get a cup of tea at a cafe 😂
Usually when the front wheel lifts off the ground its because that they have opened up the throttle. Just to add i am 67 and i still love riding my bike as it relaxes me. Got to say you are moving your body as though you are riding a bike instead of watching.
Watch Guy Martin shows he’s so funny and a speed legend
You should watch some of Guy Martin's non-biking stuff - he was initially famous for it, but his career outside of it massively took off, he's basically like a younger and more adrenaline junky version of James May; he actually lives pretty close to me; his content would be well up your street. He has a youtube channel named "Guy Martin Proper".
Hello Connor, great reaction video.
I have watched many by you (mostly comedy) and they are always very good.
Have you ever looked at "Calcio Storico" (historic football) which is an ancient Italian (originally Roman Legions) sport that is very violent but impossible to stop watching once you start?
The strips around the tyres is to warm them up before racing, so they are more sticky on the road (better traction before they naturally warm up due to friction).
They are not doing wheelies for fun, it is just a result of the speed they are going and the fact that this is a normal road rather than a race track (so lots of bumps and so on). It is not an ideal thing as it hinders steering, but they (the riders) are really on the extreme limit in terms of speed and power.
Looking forward to more reactions from you.
All the best from a biker in the UK.
I can see you are really into it because you were leaning left and right with the onboard video 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
That's mostly here in Northern Ireland, the Ulster Grand Prix, 5 mins from my house.It used to be the fastest road race in the world, until being surpassed by a rider in the the Isle of man,2018 I believe.Those guys are in a different class,brilliant to watch it live,you take care ...
Many a day spent sitting on the fence at Leathemstown corner, you know the craic and how talented those men and women who race are.
What they were doing to the tyres, was putting heat covers on them to bring them up up quicker from the start to better grip efficiency.
These bikes are producing about 200 bhp and only weigh a few hundred pounds. They don't want the front tire coming off the ground, but under acceleration it's sometimes impossible to keep the nose down. So much power to the asphalt.
I say this with every video about the TT and Irish road racing. You need to check out videos about Dr John Hinds, the flying doctor, a motorcycle response doctor who was part of the emergency setup for this racing, the guy is a legend, very funny, and no longer with us. The videos may not be good to react to, but worth checking out just for yourself.
Try looking at the Purple Helmets. I think they finally disbanded this year. Every tt, they looned about. Great fun.
pre-heating tires for more grip. You see this in Formula one races until last second before start
Connor mate.... nice vid fella
Not sure where you got the video but that’s not the Isle of Man TTS it’s the Ulster GP. Road race.
"Wheelies" ( using acceleration of the back wheel to raise the front one when on bykes ) are regularly performed by `show offs` in town and city centres, and normally from standing still positions. They are rarely done from an initial speed of about 120 mph in order to reach 200 mph.
Oh, I`ve heard that the grass is California is pretty neat.
Ps, aye - that`s Guy Martin ( have a good look `cos` you won`t see him often at that speed ). I grew up hardly 20 miles from him so ( perhaps alas ) talk the same way he does.
This is mostly Irish road racing, the easiest way to tell is in Irish road racing riders leave as a pack in head to head racing whereas in TT riders set off at ten second intervals racing against the clock. Although mainly the same riders and the wheel lifting is torque trying to flip the bike so they’re constantly fighting.
That is a wrap for rain or cold weather to keep the tires warm while they are on break. The wheelies are not intentional could be because of Horse power or road conditions!
Its just pure acceleration bud in this race no show boating , doing wheelies it’s just pure power
Always fighting the front wheel doing these speeds
those bikes have so much horsepower they wheelie in every gear when they dump it coming out of corner traction control dont always keep front end down also small bumps lift wheel as whell
Most, of these clips, I'd say over 99% are road racing, which isn't the TT. They probably put TT in the title to get views. But this is a lot of the same riders, and there is a manx gp race which uses the island as well.
Fitting tyre warmers to get the tryes up to operating temp to ensure maximum grip from the start. When the front wheel rises at high speed the rider will dab his rear brake to get the front down as if the air gets under the bike its possible for the bike to flip over backwards. Unfortunatly under hard acceleration over a rise the front will tend to lift this reduces the ability to accelerate so is not desirable. You really need to check out some of Guy Martins world record attempts he is a fecking legend. First half of the last 2min clip is the road I drive to work everyday on between Hamiltsonsbawn and Tandragee.
we have always used mph in britain
If you want to see a different type of motorsport you should try British Truck Racing where they race tractor units usually used to haul 40 ton loads.
Respect.
People who know better may correct me, but I think some of this is on the Isle of Man and some of this is in Northern Ireland, the similar Ulster Grand Prix.
If the front wheel is in the air you are losing speed so no, they aren't doing it for fun. It's the bumps and dips of the course that causes it.
Pulling a wheelie is the result of extreme torque and a short wheelbase. Sometimes it's for fun ...
lifting the front wheel is deliberately not done, because it slows down the motorcycle, mainly due to the unevenness of the road. As fast as they can put it down...
I'm always in awe of these fellas,how do they sit comfortably on the bike with those huge titanium balls between their legs?
The front wheel comes up when power Is turned up
You were getting into that, loved the way you were leaning for the the corners whilst sitting in your chair, thanks for highlighing one of our amazing sports here in Northern Ireland.
The wheelies are not intentional. Its a result of the bike literally trying to flip over due to insane acceleration. Its basically a missile on wheels
The torque is constantly trying to flip the bike that's why cars are faster off the line in a drag race, my sv650 would lift the wheel when I fed the power in to exit a corner, you'll see bike's actually turning on the back wheel occasionally
Whilst humankind remains bound to speeds < c, GM will have to put up with being Sub Lightyear. But the high speed, to be serious for a moment, must contribute as a gyrospcope -given the weight of the machine. Ie, the mass of the machine + the high speed must add to the inertia of the entire object ( man and machine ).This is why its tendency will be to remain upright.
The front wheel coming off the ground during the race is not from showing off. That is how much acceleration the rear wheel is delivering. So much that it kicks the front of the bike up and why racers have to lay down over the front of the bike as well as for aerodynamics. Sometimes it is from undulations in the pavement but usually it's from insane acceleration.
You would get arrested for driving on the pavement in the British Isles.
this is not the tt this is road racing
They where tyre warmers they keep the heat in the tyres and keep them dry
Wheelies ultimately generally make you slower....so avoid if possible.
The wheelies are from rear wheel tourqe and bumps
We maybe Metric but we still measure distance and speed in Miles
Think those were tyre warmers they were fitting to the tyres so they maintain their grip
I'm surprised you guy's in the US don't do something like this. Imagine going around the IOM at 200mph on a Harley.
You mean the tractor that's pretending it's motorcycle - I don't think so.
You Americans were the bold and the brave. You conquered a continent, you won the space race and then became the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world.
Now you're watching us Brits race on motorbikes and saying its too dangerous? What happened to you?
temporary citizens of planet earth
You need to watch , closer to the edge film about the nw200 / tt , guy Martin
React to (TT on bike experience Kawasaki H2R demo lap.
"..never gets old". Yes but I'm maybe getting too old to watch it. I imagine my blood pressure is on the up when I do. Still not a bad epitaph: 'He karked-it watching TT'.
This cover is nice , who dat?
Tyre warmers
Power Vs undulating Road conditions
MPH that's where you got MPH - ENGLAND
look at northwest 200 and ulster gp
@5:50 this is castle rushen, in castletown isle of man 🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲
Since youre a history buff here is a video of the history of the castle - it used to have a moat! ua-cam.com/video/SdFlXbF2kos/v-deo.html
Bear in mind this story is clearly told by the english, and not the Manx 😂
But the channel has A LOT of Manx history and makes a big effort to keep the culture alive
in britain we use, mph
We use MPH in the UK, we don't use KMH
You really need to read the title of the video Connor.
Tyre warmers.
why has my comment made only a few minutes after this was posted disappeared?
Connor had to delete from his main youtube channel in case of copyright issues.
He has reuploaded it here. So unfortunately your original comment would have been deleted with original video he uploaded.
Ulster Ireland.
Those bikes literally produce 210+ HP so the engine is on high pick an the power is too much ,the but trust me this is nothing to the H2R which is capable of producing 300HP in its low mod an 330+ HP in full power mode.
Is this Connors channel?
Yes, it's his second channel 👍
Conner, you're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you.
Have a look at Michael Dunlop
Yes that wolverine lookin fella is guy Martin... ig his facial hair tells that he has a massive amount of testosterone lol ig thats what u need
When they do a wheelie they basically can put all the weight on the back wheel (the one that puts the horses on the road) to gain more traction so they can accelerate faster since they have no spoiler xD
When he was in the wobble he was able to save it because he was focused on the race …
Tire warmer
Tyre warmer ,
The little bit at the end was from N. Ireland. The rest was from the Isle of Mann
Incorrect. The Isle of Man footage, for the Southern 100 race, starts at 05:46. Before that you're watching the Ulster Grand Prix at Dundrod.
Not irish. the Isle of Man hasw a unique constitutional status......It is not part of the UK or part of the EU. It is a self governing Crown Dependency...........
Of course, nothing has any validity til an American comments on it. They are so well known for their broad global experience and global wisdom.
Do you have a passport. Have you been out of your state?
@@becca8225 I just get tired of the implicit arrogance in this style of video, particularly when it is labelled with a fatuous qualification like being American.
Come on, the only reason to watch the yanks react is to see the product their version of exceptionalism on full display.
