Would it be possible to maybe have a history lesson on the TM's? When and how they started, what bikes they've had etc? Top videos. Really interesting 👍
I was with Jim at first , RC45, but to get your racing blood going, an RS 250 Honda, flat sticking the early morning practice heading through Kirk Michael….amazing 👍🇮🇲👌
Hi, I came across for the Southern and Manx this year and despite the weather I really enjoyed it, I just love being on the island with like minded people who love bikes and road racing. I always end up making new friends and great memories, and I lost time the number of times last week I said one of the highlights is watching the TM's go past 😂 always on the pipe 👍👍 Sincerely thankyou to all of you and everyone involved for everything you do ,the Manx is an amazing event and God willing I will be back next year as the saying goes " The show must go on " , thankyou again and please keep the vid's coming, really enjoyable😊😊.
Great insight and common sense. Thanks for giving us a better understanding of what went on behind the scenes as we suffered delay after delay due to conditions, and thank you to all the marshalls without who the event couldn't have run. Fingers crossed for a return to a two week MGP before long!
What a great set of programs, I came across it whilst over for the Southern 100. Please do more over the winter! You mentioned in this video that Richard lives off the Island. I thought that it was a condition for all TMs to live on the island. Also, I would love to see Tony on one of the videos, I was on the grid (some way) behind him for both his MGP wins.
The best bit is Bray Hill to Governors Bridge :-) Could do a whole video on which parts I particularly like and don't like & why, but I think it may be a bit boring
I live in Northern Ireland and it has basically rained for the last 14 months so no matter what outdoor event you want to organise it all comes down to the weather barbecue birthday party days away anything outdoor depends on the weather as the Americans said when they were based here during the second world war it’s a great wee country if it had a roof on it. I presume the Isle of Man has much the same climate
Please don’t go radio silent of season try and keep up content maybe speak to some racers and their experience with Marshall’s and stories related to TT/racing or not maybe just stories and memories anything that paints the TT/MGP in a good picture eg. Dean’s family video of him moving to the isle and Lee Johnston and his family(Lee’s channel is absolute quality)good luck pal. Keep it up🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲👍👍👍👍🏍
Hi mate, enjoyed your videos, I'm a regular TT visitor I'm there every year also been to the Manx quite a few times, I feel a bit sorry for the Manx GP lads and lasses as you never get a lot of fans watching them, then the top boys turn up and I feel like the newcomers are just over shadowed, this year's TT and GP obviously not been great but it is what it is, you can't do anything about the weather but I find, please don't take this the wrong way but there's not a great deal to do on the island when it's wet and pretty miserable sorry about that, I'm not having a dig, I love the island it's a beautiful place, anyhow I reckon you should try and interview milky quayle that would be mint, soz to waffle on and cheers for the vids ride safe bud. 👍👍👍
No problem with that at all. I was in that convoy. I was the tail end TM. All vehicles on the course have GPS systems now so every vehicle is visibly on the race control map. Even with that said, we also stuck to the left hand carriageway for extra safety, and as always the LTM who went right direction at the end of the session, was also told to stay on the left hand side. All vehicles after the red flag travelled in the left hand lane only with no exceptions until the new road closure the following day.
I came over for the mgp, fri, sa,t ,sun and monday. I saw 1.5 laps, ferry left at 16.00 on monday, rained every day. Total waste of money and time, never again ,what a shower of s.
Please if you can keep us posted with the tms and any other information about the TT. IE what if any roadworks needed on the course, funny story you guys may have. And thanks for all your videos this year. Keep up the great work. Enjoy the rest over winter. 👍🤓
I think everyone wants to see full races but as regulars to the racing at the Isle of Man we know there are many factors to come together to make that happen. People just get disappointed who have come a long way. The good years have always outweighed the bad by far. What a great event. Thanks for these vlogs. I look forward to everyone of them. Great true information and facts, real interesting. All the best to you and all the Marshals. Thanks. 🏍️❤️
You are right about the 2 weeks. The thing I don't understand is why the manx isn't promoted more for 1st time visitors, it's cheaper. I challenge anyone to not be stunned by a bike doing 100+ mph average laps, compared to 136 if they've never had that proximity before
If you're going to run it as a one-week event, you don't want to be holding it on the Isle of Man, and if you want to hold it on the Isle of Man, it needs two weeks to give the flexibility needed to cope with the weather. And the MGP is 100% necessary for the TT to survive. Marshal '86-'98 at both, although some missed.
