- TT Records tumbled in 2002 as road racing's finest blasted round the course in a maelstrom of high speed duels and thunderous racing. All eyes were on David Jefferies. In 2000 he broke the 125mph barrier; in 2002's Duke F1 race he obliterated his own record with an incredible 126.68mph lap - then went even faster in the Senior at an astonishing 127.29mph! Sit back and watch the master at work as he commentates on a lap around the famous Isle of Man TT course.

it's nice to hear David's voice again after such a long time, i used to hear it quite often as i worked for his dad Tony for 3 years, he was a great guy, daft as a brush as we say in yorkshire, i was very sad to hear of his death but as he always told me if he was gonna go it would be at "full hole " doing something he loved. rest in peace my friend.
This was my first year at the TT, went with my dad (rip) I remember first time watching DJ down Bray hill and my dads reaction when I first seen him thunder down the road, I had to take a short intake of breath the speed was frightening, for me he was the most spectacular rider i've seen. I chatted to him in 2003 at scarborough about the forthcoming TT, and was devastated when i heard he'd been killed at crosby, I was there that year but decided to come home after the incident, one of my sporting idols had been killed. I've been back many times since, watching the bravest men on earth, still watch halfway down bray hill remembering the first time I saw Big Dave.
I was fortunate enough to know Dave Jefferies as a result of growing up in the same town, shipley in bradford, west yorkshire.
His dad owned and still owns several motorcycle dealerships in Shipley and Bradford, but hes not the same man he was before Dave left this world. Its heartbreaking to see, but his father, Tony, is a broken man and I dont think he'll ever get over the tragic death of his Son.
God rest Dave's soul, and may god ease Tony jefferies pain.
I knew the family well too. We were practically neighbours. My brother was best friends with David in his early teens and we all went to the same schools. It's so sad to hear that only Louise (David's sister) is left from the immediate family. Pauline (Tony's wife) died some time ago and Tony died last year. I think Nick, Dave's uncle is still with us though, a great racer himself. Such a talented family and a sad loss. I find it hard to watch clips of DJ as I remember him as a teenager.
dont worry tony you will be with big dave again believe me its the truth
@@spenny768I know exactly what you are saying,amen
At about 2mins in he says "this is really scary corner" always sends shivers down my body as that was the corner he died on. RIP DJ
I wonder how scary can be if it took 2 laps to run it flat-out even to a talent like David
@Zarp Sterr According to John Mcguiness a marshall stepped out in from of him and killed em both instantly.
@@WoodyGoodPecker I’ve never heard that before??
@@jacobhendrickson8935 That's not what happened. Practice week, Thursday afternoon, a bike had dropped a oil on the entry to the corner at Crosby, DJ was at full speed lost the front on the oil and hit the stone wall.
The marshall incident was in Kirk Michael with another rider.
@@cocker1177 This was the way I understood Jeffries incident that’s what made me question the Marshall comment. Jeffries was my favorite from back when he was on the R1. Freaking awesome on a motorbike.
Finally Someone Uploaded David Jefferies Isle Of Man TT Lap 😀😈
The most fearless rider I have ever seen. He would be the TT title king if he were alive today.
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots....but there ain`t too many old, bold pilots. He was all over the shop until he got dialed in. Big bloke, easy to fall into slower bends, as we saw at Ballacraine. That bike was a bit of an animal though. I`d say best vid of the great DJ was on open roads on Mad Sunday, threading through traffic at speed, absolutely sublime.
Absolutely 💯 David Jefferies Was The 1 To Beat Joey Dunlops 26 TT Record 😈
One of the finest riders every to race a bike. Read about his death in a newspaper while having breakfast at Harbour Lights Peel, what a shock at the time. He was the one to watch. RIP
Miss you DJ, you’re a legend and you would have won 30 or more TT’s.
R. I. P
Agreed.....
“ try and be as small as you can behind the fairing “ wasn’t easy for big DJ but it wasn’t a problem for him 🏆
So true. DJ was a legend, and a lovely guy. So sadly missed.
I loved to watch DJ great guy , I bought the hayabusa after he test rid it with 3 other bikes , he liked it so I bought it .RIP David
Such a great rider and nice person. I knew him and his family for many years as my brother was friends with him and he lived round the corner from me. I was at his funeral the year after this was filmed. Tragic loss.
What a bloke DJ was unbelievably fast ✊
DJ, quite simply the best TT rider in his time.
I couldnt believe when he said aim for the wall .....amazing
Cracking lad and you could tell by his great commentary he loved what he did. RIP big fella
Watched him through Kate's Cottage that year, he was flying.
had the pleasure of watching this man race at the TT ..DJ you were the best
Back when riders had raw power DJ was the master of the 4XV R1 and he preferred the k1 Gsxr1000 it was his weapon of choice raw power and mad as a hatter he could ride a bike i have ridden a k1 gsxr engine prepared by Slick! Performance and they were the top dog still my favourite bike to this day owned my a good pal of mine who sadly no longer here just like Dj talented naturally and flat out on the road unfortunately it happens the best live by the sword die by the sword rip david and my pal fitzy 2 wheelie lunatics
Funniest big man on the TT, that was one record Steve set to be unbeaten for 11 years ,shows more so now as the records beaten nearly every year , he beat it on flying lap and next day on standing start ,Suzie commented to him on flying lap the day before , so he said jump on for a seater jokingly( she said fat chance getting on that ) and then beat it from standing start , sadly missed as a hugely admired for being a great guy, you wanna look at his footage off the bike, funny funny guy
Fantastic to see this again I certainly miss David Jeffries .. 💯%🏁🏁🏆
Let's go for a Pie & Pint👍
Cheers 🍻
Such a shame, great loss, phenomenal rider and huge character, RIP Dave Jefferies
The gentle giant of road racing.
I've been a racing fan all of my life. Mostly cars and bikes. This certainly is not the first time that I have watched racing at the Isle of Man but it is the first time that I have caught a video of a full lap with commentary. This was really fantastic! This is one of only two races (that I know of) that can be counted down in minutes rather than seconds. The other one that comes to mind is the Nurburgring Nord Sclife.
Maguiness michael dunlop and hutchy woukd all be unheard of if this man was alive!
What a great video this is for sure legend David Jefferies with commentary outstanding if God made race circuit he did its on the isle of man David is now doing laps in heaven RIP
My only regret when I traveled over the pond back in 1981- I didn't see the TT.
I don't know about you, gentlemen, but I think that they should rename the ninth milestone of the TT Course after David Jefferies. Rest in peace, Big Dave!
Thrilling Ride Thank You.
What a rider, imagine him now on the latest bikes,
The greatest race in the world!!!
Big David he was a great talent
It would have been nice to see back then a duel: DJ vs Hizzy !
Perhaps a duel similar to that of Foggy on 1992 !? ;)
@@alanjones3514 I think Hislop would have won... I saw them both in those periods.
Hizzy in 1994 and DJ in 1999, both phenomena, but Hislop was able to ride any type of motorcycle.
The limit of DJ it was his size. But both born for road racing with intelligence at the limit of risk unique. Legens.
God bless DJ
the only racer i bought a replica helmet of and raced it myself
18.03 and in 02 on a gix look at todays lap record lol this boy was quick.
RIP Big Dave
Thanks for this.
When are we going to get the on-board from last year?
He was some racer!
Awesome
@1:52 'Ballagarey' ... that was a slow corner comparing to the speeds they reach today.
Bloody 'ell.
🔥
Impressionante
Ur a bloody HERO🤔
I just died, and went to TT onboard heaven😎💜🏁
Dj is the best Raider ever ✊👍
he was so special he really was
he was so special he rally was
😮😮✌✌✌

Sono un appassionato di moto e le ho sempre avute mi piace la velocità facciamo delle cose stupide in strade normali ma vale la pena morire e non godersi tante cose che offre la vita questi sono piloti ma il prezzo è molto alto non so se conviene
This looks really slow compared to hickmans 135 lap
You cant really compare Dj's lap to hickman. Years of difference in terms of bike technology and other factors you have to remember this was 2002
Ahh whole nother league
There is no way to tell the difference between a 125 and 135 mph lap. If you can see the difference, it's because of the camera placement/focus. Hislop's '94 lap and Donald's 2013 lap look faster, and both were on smaller bikes.
