Better late than never, here's our post-race round-up from the 2016 Isle of Man TT, glamorously shot in an industrial estate near Farnham... More details and pics of the event here - 44teeth.com/isl...
Sad to see this series end. I was really enjoying the videos. Please go back again Al! On board footage would be cool but the behind the scenes stuff is awesome. Sign me the hell up for some raffle tickets! Just make them available online so I can buy some please.
Wow - thanks for sharing what goes through the noggin before a race like the TT. I could tell you were going over it in your mind at that moment. That some real shit there..Also I want to work with your mechanic, he has more bike knowledge in his pinky than I have in my whole body..great piece..now get your toss on..
Sorry mate, I wasn't aware of the engine issues you had when we were chatting about this over the weekend at Wilton Mill. Looking forward to seeing you take care of that 'unfinished business' next summer.
I’ve always never been afraid to try anything in life and would never back down from anyone……..went to the TT and after seeing the first bike go down bray hill ………….fuck that, it’s FU##IN MENTAL! Truly mental!
Its the same for the Gumball Rally in the US. There are some companies that own the rights to distribute the footage. im guessing its the same thing here. The folks behind the TT will have it available to download or to buy on their website a few weeks after the event is done.
Fantastic! If you need a whip-round for funding I'm sure a lot of us would chip in. Need to get my 899 back to jhs, susp setup was awesome but want more :)
Hang on... so if you're talented enough to get to ride the TT, have balls big enough to actually do it, film your own ride from your own bike, someone ELSE has the rights to that footage? What effin marketing moron made that deal, and how much of a kick-back did they get, I wonder? Shocked by that :(
Stuff like that is hardly shocking. It's the same for MotoGP, F1, FIFA/UEFA-tournaments etc. North One Television has the contract for the production, sales and distribution of the Isle of Man TT Races. They basically own all race-footage. Duke Marketing is managing programme distribution outside the UK, American and Australian markets. I guess 44Teeth could buy the rights for the on-board-footage for a couple of grands - or maybe North One TV would allow them to post it on RU-vid for free for marketing purposes.
Im afraid that the way it is now with TT, most rights now owned by film companies etc. Going to be worst next year when its run by a corporate company, who will want to make as much money out of it as they can :(
I have the words "You feel most alive when only inches from death" tattooed on my arm. That is why we ride motorcycles. now everything in the modern, developed world is so safe we have to give ourselves a reason to risk it all, just for the sheer thrill of it
Good morning Alastair and Baron. Question. Is there a onboard lap of Alastair on the TT? I wait for weeks of one of this videos. Would be extreme cool.
***** I watch nearly all videos but sadly im not english and sometimes i dont get all waht you say. But to the rights again. If you film with your own camera and make your own footage they can forbid to upload on your own channel?
North One Television (television production company) owns the rights for ALL TT-footage. 44Teeth can't use their own on-board-footage unless they make a deal with North One or Duke Marketing (not sure who is in charge).
if the ports are too big on an engine all you really need to do is choke down the size of the exhaust pipe flange or intake flange respectively... NASCAR style restrictor plate just right on the port.
Missy Dee you aren't adding metal to the ports, the flanges are just not cut right :P you aren't changing the cc of the port or intake/exhaust from factory.. how can that be adding metal to it? Rules you read and rules you read between
OtisENGINEuity I get you, but through restricting the flow to &/or from the port would probably be deemed as being outside the rules when it comes to roadracing. It does seem like a daft bit of legislation that you can take away metal and not add it. I can understand that porting was initially allowed in order to increase gas flow (especially if many standard road engines were restricted by the diameter, shape and rough finish) - but I really don't see why these days they can't be optimised via employing a means of restriction. I'm as interested as you in finding out thw why's & wherefores though! ;-)
Missy Dee yeah well.. I'm seeing it as it specifially says you can't add metal to the ports, not the flanges or by making the hole through the gasket smaller... There's no actual rule against that so they can't yell at you about it... Sort of like trying to have a fish tank with local fish in California.. You have to learn how to read between the laws here because they're so garbled.
@@Mowgli546 that’s not true, during practice laps the road is closed to the public! The public can only go flat out on a very small part of the course!
Re-watching this after a long old time... What's the chances of you guys releasing the on board footage now? 4 years down the line. Or is it a political minefield still...?
MegaShanes1 they don’t race them anymore because they fall apart before they finish. Foggy was the last person to race a Ducati and in his words it was in bits when I finished ( his words)
