It is called " road racing " . Putting it on a track would be sacrilige and would totally destroy the character and excitement of the competetion. It is a sad reality of modren times that everything needs to be wrapped in cotton wool and every element of risk and danger obliterated till nothing is left to enjoy. And it is the Isle of MAN not men. The title refers to the riders and not the location.

Gave ya a thumbs up , a rare thing, for owning the "mom" dig. I'm a Bluewater/open ocean, solo sailor. Think America's cup , but in a 50 year old ,30 ft, Allied Chance 30-30, iOR , fin keeled , masthead sloop, sailboat. Designed by Denise Conner , who won the America's Cup , 4 times and lost twice. Built by Allied Boat in Hudson NY. Hull 27 of 45 known. I've spent years rebuilding her while i worked building mega yachts for 30 years. Speed is relative but I get it. It's having an indescribable desire, obsession really, to push your equipment, and skills , to the limit. Having grown up on a cutting horse farm, building custom western saddles in my family's shop, it was a ball of fire in my gut hearing people saying follow your dream , while I had a family, a job , a house ,but was miserable. My mate calls em anchors. 17 years now and it's time to put the cowboy hat back on. Pop's 88. Be 89 in December and thought I'd lost my mind. He's a cowboy and hates the ocean, boats, or even fishing. My adventures are at an end. I'm 64 now ,and I've seen the critter. Did what I said I was gonna for years. Wasn't particularly lucrative but I built a cabin on the farm so I feel fulfilled ,and will reclaim my place with my parents who still have a couple horses,and are building our last run of saddles. I get what these young men do and why. Should they survive ? Like me. It'll be pictures on a wall ,and stories for the grand kids. If they choose to listen. Fair winds... New subscriber.

There is a 37 mile road that goes around the island. That whole road is the "track". The race began there because of racing bans and speed limits on mainland GB. It is a small quiet town on an island in the Irish Sea that enjoys a week of craziness and major revenue, besides the history. The racers have that one major race to be FREE, to test themselves, not just the limits of their bikes, with a timed, no holes barred Major. There are smaller races that are done on the public roads as well (see Irish Road Racing); but to compete against the worlds top teams, top bikes, & best riders? They only gather at one race all together, and that's The Isle Of Mann TT!

The guy being interviewed was the fiancée of my little sister's mate. She broke up with him because the first thing he did after months in hospital was go straight back to racing bikes. She couldn't take the stress of being with someone who could die at any moment but also knew she would never ask him to stop racing.

Possibly apocryphal anecdote: A rider retired after years racing the TT. At one particular fast corner there was a hedge on the inside of the corner which he used to gauge his line: if his helmet brushed the hedge he was on the right line. He went to walk the course the next year and found out that the "hedge" was an ivy-covered stone wall. His head had been 2-3 inches from a stone wall at over 100mph. Otherworldly. Edit: Regarding the motivation discussion. The prize money for this is intentionally kept low. It is the glory only. If you are motivated only by a big money prize it could be something somebody would try in desperation (I need the money). You won't be able to retire after a TT win but the Mountain Course will retire you if your headspace isn't spot on.

@lordomacron3719 10 месяцев назад

Aye the TT is about man and machine vs the course. The prize money is nice but it’s not the reason they race. They race for the love of racing and the TT is the purest form of bike racing.

@johnschofield6675 11 месяцев назад

For most of the year the Isle of Man is a sleepy quiet place the people 85 thousand strong are happy and live their lives like everyone else. Then the TT happens and an extra 43 thousand spectators turn up! The roads are closed each day for practice qualifying and then the races. The organisation is superb with mainly volunteers marshalling the 37.7 mile long 219 corner course. Riders average over 130mph with the record lap being held by Peter Hickman at 136.358 mph. Top speed reached is over 200 mph and this is on an ordinary road with lamp posts, trees, stone walls, barbed wire fences and farm gates. Straw bales are used as a safety measure on some corners. It is crazy, if you love motorbikes you must make the pilgrimage once in your life.

Before every race, before every qualifying even, the lads on the machines have made their peace with the world, you know, dotted the i's etc just in case they don't come through it.

The UK has loads of racing circuits, but this is different. It's a road circuit. No commentary box can see the whole circuit, they watch the monitors and timing screens to know what's happening. Also, this circuit is 37 miles long. 130mph is only the average speed. There are sections where they reach over 200mph.

@nicksykes4575 11 месяцев назад

@@RealFansSports They did call it the isle of men, but that's also misleading in another way, women compete here too. Jenny Tinmouth is the fastest woman, Maria Costello is not far behind her, this year there were two all woman sidecar crews, plus several woman sidecar passengers The guy with the microphone is sat in the commentary box, the start/finish straight is directly below him, between him and the cemetery. That cemetery was there several hundred years before the TT began. Technically it's a timr trial rather than a race, as they start at ten second intervals. Until 1975 it was a round of what is now classed as Moto GP, several of the top riders refused to race there, and the British round of the world championdhip was moved to Silverstone in England. The TT is now a part of the road racing series, with rounds in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Islw of Man, and England, all held on public roads, some of them narrower than the TT course. Have a look at "The Road Warriors, Irish road racing" by Lockk 9.

They come here just because it is the most dangerous road race. They ALL know the risks and have seen other competitors die. Crazy I know but millions come to see the race for themselves also putting themselves at risk being so close to the road- there are no safety barriers. The cemetery is not for competitors, its just the local one that happens to be along side the road.

The TT races started in 1907 and was a progression from the car racing that happened the island as qualifiest for UK drivers for what is now known as Formula 1. The reason it was held on the Isle of Man was that it didn't have the same restrictive road laws the UK had way back then. The bike races started in 1907 and were held around the St Johns course. It didn't move to the Mountain course until 1911. The course is 37.72 miles long (timed distance) and has at it highest point of 1385ft. At the very start they used an acid water mix to keep the dusty conditions down as they were basically dirt roads. Riders used to get burnt as the acid went through their clothes so the wearing of protective coats, trousers, boots and gloves were worn. These were the precursers of the full leathers we see today. There has been one successful American mark at the IOM TT, Indian. These bikes were ridden in the solo class and one of the riders went on to be the very first winner of the sidecar race, which happened in 1923 - Freddie Dixon and Walter Denny. The fastest lap is 136mph and the 37.72 miles took Peter Hickman 16 mins 36.1 secomds to complete. The lap record for the very first mountain course senior race was over 44mins at a speed of 53mph. The first bike win went to Oliver Godfrey on an Indian motorcycle, but the lap record went to Frank Phipp on a Scott. Since the old days the course hasn't changed much. The odd normal road improvements here and there but it has essencially remained the same. I think that has made the races a rare thing in this world now. Its a beacon of those who love racing, who love the sport for what it is. Its the purest form.of motorsport you can find that reflects the origins of all racing. The challenge, the test of man and machine and the team as a whole. It takes years to develope the skills needed to race here, its not for the faint of heart. By the way, the games are nothing like the real thing. Please please if you can ever make it here to witness it for yourselves, you won't be dissapointed, it will seap into your soul and call you back year after year. It will be part of you, the thrill, the noise, the people around you, and the smells of burning fuel as the blurr goes past will give you memories and new friendships that will last a life time.

The talk of not Racing or Riding motorbikes again after a smash seems really strange to me! The last accident on my road bike, I have had 4 accidents, 2 as a "Mad For It" teenager, one where I barely touched the back brake on a white arrow, covered in mud, trying to avoid a dumper truck pulling off a grass school field onto the road, and the last was when a passenger threw open his door exactly as I got beside him, wait..hold on... it was a two lane road, left turn lane and a right turn lane and his lane was stationary due to a traffic jam going right. Anyway, I smashed into his door throwing me down the road, bike on top of my leg, petrol pouring out of the tank. All of a sudden a work colleague was standing over me, I got him to hit the kill switch and lift the bike off my leg. I hurt my arm and really banged up my right leg but no breaks, the worst injury was a big hole in my leg, somehow the change in my pocket had tumbled, over and over again, creating a 2", 50mm, wide hole about a 1/4", 6mm deep! Here's the strange thing, no damage to my trouser leg (Levis) or the pocket but made a hole in my leg! The work colleague said to me "I suppose you'll give up bikes now and get s car!", this is the bloke who had broke his leg, TWICE, in the same year, playing Football (real English Football), but here he is in the presumption that I should quit! As a "Mad For It" teenager, hitting the back right had corner of a double decker, firing me across two lanes of fast moving traffic at the Elephant and Castle Roundabout, and ending up in the Foyer of one of the two local cinemas, not hitting anyone or thing, was about as lucky as I could get!

Was super interesting to hear your guys opinions and intulectual thoughts on this race. So many dumb people doing reactions on things, you guys were very insightful and interesting to listen to. Thanks:) Should come over to watch it in person, incredible two weeks! Just book early if so cos it gets full, fast!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

No he wasn't "Listening to his breaks and gears"! He was mentally visualising the course. His bike wasn't even running!! He was preparing mentally.. Jeepers, you guys 😮😮😮

Out of all the American bike racers past and present only one has ever won the TT. Dave Roper is currently the only American to win a TT Race using conventional internal combustion engine power; the Historic TT of 1984. Riding a G50 Matchless he headed home the field in the only time this class of race has been run. Dave has also finished runner-up twice in the Senior Classic Manx Grand Prix, in 1988 and 1990. As for the circuit, it is 37.730 miles, and the really quick guys can do it in under 18 minutes, and they do 6 laps for their time. As for fuel, the TT racers use VP Racing fuel, it is an American company founded in Texas. Oh, the top speed on the fastest part of the circuit for the 1,000 cc bikes is usually around 220 mph.

The Dunlop family from Northern Ireland has dominated the TT

It's the biggest event that happens in the Isle of Man, which brings global attention to the semi-independent island country. Man is subject to the British Crown, but free from British taxes, with an autonomous parliament. Sitting in the Irish Sea between England, Ireland and Scotland, it kept its independence by strict neutrality, and making a big deal of its Manx separate ethnicity, which was a blend of Celtic and Viking, never strictly English, Irish or Scottish. So it's worth a lot of tourist pounds, as well as the money the motorbike companies bring in for sponsorship. The other thing the Manx get out of it is the most perfect roads in the British Isles, because they resurface the route every year to reduce the risks.

This can't be compared to regular motorcycle racing. Many of these riders ONLY race here this one time of year. Nothing else will do and tracks are boring to them. Most are private entries with low paying sponsors and the prize money isn't much either. They have regular jobs the rest of year and spend all their money building next years bike. This is their life. As a side note I take issue with the phrase "Died doing what he/she loved". I promise you none of the people who died racing, ever, loved crashing. Racing yes, but they died crashing. The race was over the second things went out of hand.

@neilwayte517 10 месяцев назад

I don,t know if anyone has suggested that you check the sidecar racing at the isle of man but if you can check out the pov footage from a sidecar racing on the island.That is frigging scary. The actual event raises millions of pounds for the local community over the two weeks of the racing. It is so popular with the fans that you have to book a ferry crossing to the island a whole year in advance or you will not get over there.

@RealFansSports 10 месяцев назад

Yes they have! Video will be out within the next week! It had us baffled! Those people are insane

@NmpK24 9 месяцев назад

Just some context. The Isle of Man is a separate island from the UK, with its own parliament and laws which allows street racing. Its also a tax haven so building a circuit there there isnt really viable. The UK mainland has several motorcycle racing circuits but this is a different competition racing against other riders not a time trial like the TT. And bikers are just a crazy breed. I known a few who've been involved in everyday traffic accidents, broken bones etc but this didnt stop them getting back on one.

There basically is no reward for this race, the cash prize for first is (I believe) only like 25,000 euros

@FrankCastlesConscience 10 месяцев назад

The chap with the “A” cap is slightly missing the point. The whole cache and uniqueness of this street race, the danger, difficulty, “what ifs” are exactly what makes this race so desirable. You’d lose all that by creating a sanitised track. Yes less deaths, but far less interest, less kudos, less greatness. You have to adopt the mindset of the riders, they don’t do this for the money.

Joey Dunlop once described road racing as trying to see a grey blur, inbetween the two green blurs, you try to stay on the grey blur.

The very fine line between life and death is a place very few know about, but it must be pretty exciting as it's where these guy's ply there trade.

@chrisstewart8259 9 месяцев назад

What makes it really special is, it's 37 mile circuit with no real safety run off, bends,corners, brick walls, stone barriers and you need to know each one intimately. Ive ridden around it a few times but never raced on it. How the hell they do it is not human. I just dunno!

@francishughes542 10 месяцев назад

Jeez, It takes a particular kind of "CRAZY", to do this, but you also need giant testicles, & they have to be made of steel, if you do not posess all three of these qualities, then just forget it.

If you bought a house on the Course after 1911, you can't really complain about the roads closing

@lounolastname4477 4 месяца назад

You can when you consider that previously there were days when they could not close the roads, and were set non-race days, so that you could plan to. Be out and know roads weren’t going to close, whereas now they can close them any day. Previously they did not close them on a Sunday but last year they did

@davidbirchall832 Месяц назад

@lounolastname4477 fair comment and good point about road closure changes but when buying a house on the Course (especially the inside of it) you know you are going to be living on a race track and that changes are always going to be made, eg. for safety etc and that you are going to be inconvenienced. My point stands that those who lived on the Course before 1911 bought houses on a normal, run of the mill road whereas those who bought after that had to take the Event into account as the were buying a house on a Race Course. I sympathise with those who live off the Course but are still affected (cul-de-sacs etc). Do you live on the Island? If so, come and call in to the awning during the Manx. As soon as I have the location of our pitch, I'll add it to this thread. I arrive next Sunday but anytime from Monday to Monday would be good 👍

@robinreiley1828 10 месяцев назад

If you stiffen up on a motorcycle, it Will Not Turn, you need to be Relaxed! The faster you enter a corner the more you need to relax into it and allow the bike fall to the inside of the turn. You initiate that "Fall" by "Counter Steering", turning the handlebars, in the opposite direction, or more precisely, Pushing the the handlebar on the side you want to turn to. The bike wants to stand up and go straight, you are trying to counter act the effect of what are essentially 2 spinning Gyroscopes, and balance it at a point that the bike tracks an Arc through the corner. As you reach the limit of traction with your tires in a turn, by leaning your body all the way over , you relieve the side load on the tire, gaining a little cornering speed. The last racer to hit his brakes going into a corner carries the most speed, so this is where you see riders pass each other, and again if you Tense Up, the bike won't turn and you will go straight through the corner and Lose Control

@timbonfield3589 3 месяца назад

The TT is the most amazing race in the world, between races parts of the track are open to ride on, the mountain part has no speed limit to all and is 1 way, means you do get fans pushing on and crashing between races also, its not safe and road racing is not for all bike racers, many moto GP riders wont go near it due to the dangers, put simply the racers know the risk they are taking, they have seen friends and family killed in front of them but they come back every year, they are a special breed of human.

@garinphillips5578 7 месяцев назад

If you find this insane you should react to the winner, Peter Hickman, doing a “chill” lap of the circuit. He did the fastest lap of the circuit

@46ChickRock 10 месяцев назад

Where they race is rural and communal, building a track would be disregarded by the people who live there and the race wouldn't be the same, its historical. The racers/riders are fully aware of the dangers and are willing to do it purely out of love for the TT I don't know for sure but i think they are commentating from monitors via air footage from an over view of the race. Not sure why they do it in a cemetery.

@barriemoorcroft534 2 месяца назад

Seriously all these reaction videos just talk and talk and talk over the video or pause and then talk and talk and talk. Just watch the dawn thing, let us see your reaction when u realise there are proper sports outside of the US, then talk at the end if it if u like. No disrespect meant, but daaaamn

There are purpose built race tracks in UK, but then it wouldn't be the TT would it. These guys do it because it's more than what they do, it's who they are.

@feralgrandad4429 10 месяцев назад

They couldn't just "build a track. They have plenty of room" It's a small island. The clue is in the name. And though they do race past people's homes, the people turn out and enjoy the racing.

@trampertravels 7 месяцев назад

Let me see now you are talking about control and safety - hmmm - this is about being a warrior, about pushing the edge, about riding to the limits, about going to the edge and looking death in the eye, about riding to the limits of one's skill.

@Peter-or8oc 5 месяцев назад

Obviously the guy who crashed on that mountain road was really lucky to survive it but can you imagine it if he crashed art that speed of faster on a part of the course where there are brick walls ,trees ,barbed wire fences literally a couple of feet away from you at any given time it pure carnage
