Classic TT Isle of Man - amazing sounding bikes ridden to the limit! 

thanks for your comment, the sound and sight of the classic bikes on the mountain course is a real joy!

Thank you and great to hear those memories. Murray and Graham Walker were massive ambassadors for the TT and Graham of course was a fine competitor here too!

thanks for your comment, I wish I could have seen hailwood on that Honda!

thank you glad you enjoyed this. a lot of work did go into making it but I enjoyed every minute of it! sorry for delay in replying I have been in hospital and back to good health now 🙂

Thanks for your support, I am passionate about making videos that convey the incredible sounds and sights of racing on the mountain course and we have a new season of action about to unfold. if there are any particular riders, machines or parts of the course you would like to see incorporated in my future videos do let me know and I will see what I can do. Thanks again

I totally agree with you this really is brilliantly filmed and edited.

I've accidentally clicked it when scrolling on other videos but noticed... Maybe they didn't notice

Seen it on a few that have no reason to have dislikes either that or their just assholes

Dislike is RU-vid marketing putting 1000 ads on this great footage!

Thanks. Yes I like the variety of bikes at the Classic TT and that combined with the fact that many of the top TT names are riding those bikes for me makes it a great event!

thanks for those nice words, I will be putting a lot of effort in making more videos of IOM racing throughout this year! I will be doing another 30 minute Classic TT video too

Thanks very much ,so glad you appreciated it. There will be more videos to come so watch this space 😀

Your welcome! I hope you can get back to the island again to watch some more action when racing resumes! Cheers

thank you very much! I will be producing plenty more videos about the TT and Classic TT throughout this year so watch this space! glad you enjoyed it

@@anthonycubbon741 Oh, i am your subscriber and it will be very glad to see more of your stuff ! Thank you again !

Thank you. Yes we all have special memories of the island during TT you can’t beat it for atmosphere!

Thanks very much! I enjoy making these videos and put a lot of time and effort into them and I am glad they strike a chord with some other enthusiasts. Best wishes from Castletown in The Isle of Man

Thanks, I did spend a lot of time on this but enjoyed every minute of it! I hope to have more footage of classic bikes to upload later this year

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time putting it together and I am keen to do a lot more content this year!

Thanks very much, there will be more videos coming this year and plenty of them too!

thank you, more work to come throughout this racing season!

Glad you enjoyed it ,I loved making the video. Thanks for your lovely comment👍

Thanks for you support ,I will be making more videos from this years TT and classic tt so watch this space!

Thank you, I am glad you appreciated this video, best wishes from the isle Of man

Thanks I really appreciate you kind words. Look out for more videos soon!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks , I agree those bikes have such an evocative sound and smell!

@@anthonycubbon741 castrol r, simply the smell of racing.

Thanks, nice comment. The very beginning of the video where there is just bike sounds I put together thinking of it as a kind of music 🙂

thanks very much. the sound of the bikes is amazing and i will be doing more videos soon with lots of great sounds and will try to make them as intersting and informative as possible!

Yes it is great and those star riders enjoy riding these classic bikes and it also gives them extra laps going around the famous mountain course, which helps them with regards to the June TT event. Thanks for your comment

thanks and glad you enjoyed it! i will be doing another long classic bike video soon so watch this space!

Thanks much appreciated. I will have more videos coming from TT and classic tt this year and it is only 6 weeks till TT now!

Thank you. I put a lot of time into putting this video together and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

glad you enjoyed it! thanks for commenting

Thanks, The classic tt is an amazing event and it was really enjoyable putting this video together! I will be doing another classic tt video of the 2019 meeting for sure!

Thanks, Yes Michael rutter is a great character and a very stylish rider. Glad this video brought back some good memories for you. Rutter has had an exceptional career at the TT, north west 200 and Macau as well as good achievements on short circuits, that is rare in any racer. Regards anthony

thank you! I spent a lot of time editing that video and am glad you enjoyed it. I am hopeful the Classic TT will go ahead next year so maybe I will be able to make another video like this one

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

Glad you enjoyed it I love the sound of those bikes and it was a real pleasure making this film

Thanks very much. I hope you do make it over one day. It will be the trip of a lifetime!

Thanks very much! I like to entertain and also provide lots of information in commentaries on videos. I have a few more videos to upload this year that I hope you will enjoy too!

fine memories! nice to hear them

Thanks, I hope to have a few more videos out by the end of the year. Sorry I have not replied sooner I have been ill. Best wishes from the isle Of man

thanks, i really enjoyed making and can't get enough of those classic bike sounds!

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your comment and I agree that TT riders are down to earth humble people who do not seek attention. They get sponsored and receive respect and acclaim if they pull off a big result but the financial rewards are small and the risk to life and limb high. They are modern day gladiators

Thanks glad you liked it. I am itching to film more like this!

Thanks for your support, sorry I have not replied sooner but I have been very ill. I hope to have a few more videos posted by the end of the year

That is good to hear. I could listen to 2 strokes all day

i used to ride 2 strokes in my early younger days But four stroke sound is more pretty.

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks I hope to make more soon!

Amen !!!

yes and it is great they are still being raced in anger around the mountain course! long may it continue

and WD

.....and Chris Swallow............high prices to pay for just a mistake.

Thanks I'm hoping to make another long video of classic tt this year too. Glad you enjoyed

thanks for that. those multi-cylinder honda and MVs sound great and are a particular favourite of mine! I will be filming them again at the Classic TT this year too

@@anthonycubbon741 They'll be back this year with Dominic Herbertson & Lee Johnson on board, making plenty of noise for you to record :-)

That's great, thanks for letting me know. I may try filming them screaming through Glen Helen this year as that will surely make the hairs on the back of the neck stand up!

@@anthonycubbon741 actually, thinking about it, Lee will be on the 500/4 and Dom on the Yamaha Twin, all being well. There are a good number of the Honda 4s out there now.

That all sounds good I look forward to it!

This year is written off but next year will be bigger and better than ever I think!

Thanks I put a lot of work into making that video, glad you appreciated it!

Thank you, I put a lot of time and effort into this video. Glad you enjoyed the filming!

It’s a lovely sound, one of my favorites!

@@anthonycubbon741 Yeah, it is a very unique sound too.

Thanks for your kind comments. I thought long and hard about the best way to put a long video together about the Classic TT and concluded there should be information but not in a way that detracted from the sound of the bikes! So I I used some text information rather than a voice over commentary. I am going to make another classic tt video this year so watch this space and thanks again! Good to hear from you. Keep enjoying your triumphs,my late father had one and it always put a smile on his face when he was on that machine

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the footage us guys on the Isle of Man are thinking of all other road race fans like yourself at this difficult time and we look forward to next year when can all meet up for TT 2021 and share anecdotes. Best wishes from castletown Isle of Man

Thank you, I hope you can indeed get over next year to enjoy great sounds and sights of these bikes. In the meantime I will posting a few more videos!

Yes I really like that sound too, I am hoping there will be plenty of those bikes at the Classic TT this year!

Yes I really like that too. I can't wait to hear what bikes will be on the grid this year, and I will be out there recording as much of it as I can. Cheers

Thanks for your message and support my brother was a top kart racer I know how fast them karts can go and they have amazing acceleration that would put most cars to shame😀 a 250 engine in a kart or bike sounds and smells fantastic

@@anthonycubbon741 Finally someone who knows about real karts. If it ever comes up in conversation, most will reply saying they've also raced "go karts" meaning at an indoor track. "go karts" was a term never used by us. I give up at that point.My time was the Martin Hines era. Derek Rogers was my team mate so to speak at PDS racing. Anyway that's ancient history now. Thanks again for your vids and my new ambition is to go and watch the TT. I live in Lancashire so it's not a million miles away. What's your advice for booking a B+B or camping? I imagine they'd be booked up if it's not planned well in advance.

Glad you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoyed making it!

thanks its all going in a good direction right now!

Hope you manage to get to the classic TT next year, you will have a great time

@Mike W yep true enough.....but today's patron is hardly a classic unless they're riding a 1950's bike....

@Mike W .....quote "The bike is a replica of Paton's 1968 racer and is still built by the same firm - Moto Paton - that built the original, so all the original drawings are still used and, in some cases, even the same moulds. But the bike has been updated with modern materials and the firm labels it a 're-edition' rather than claiming it is an exact replica". ......still a shit hot bike though👍 Like many of the bikes raced in the Classic TT, you can actually buy a Paton 500. A re-edition of the 1968 racer will set you back around £61,000.

@@lordbelvoir2543 Do some research, contact Paton and contact the TT race committee for regulations and qualifying rules.

@@droceretik At the Classic TT - one of the biggest classic events in the diary - the regulations are a minefield. So, to clarify things, BikeSocial caught up with Chief Eligibility Officer, Mark George. He said: “At the Classic TT our overall aim to have racing that’s as close as possible with as many bikes as possible crossing the finish line. We design the regulations in such a manner as to encourage bikes of a similar performance so that everyone, in theory, has a chance of doing well.” But of course, the demands of the 37 and three quarter mile Mountain course puts strains on classic machinery. So many teams build modern machines in accordance to the regulations that bear as closer resemblance to the period motorcycle they represent as possible...... As it says "teams build modern machines".... Paton can build reliability into their engine where as you can never build that into say a TZ750

Thanks, I am glad you appreciated it

wankers i believe is the word

If you look at almost any RU-vid video there will be dislikes no matter how good the content. It could indicate lots of things about the nature of the viewer including jealousy, stupidity, anger and any number of personality defects. it doesn't really matter as these comments are anonymous and have very little weight one way or the other. The critical stat is the views which was over 176,00 views, 1,300 likes and 45 dislikes but for enthusiasts of the TT, as long as we enjoy.

Thanks. plenty of new content coming soon from tt19 which is just 40 days off now!

Thank you. I enjoyed making this video and I'm glad you liked it, I will be uploading many more videos to my channel this year!

Thanks, I wish I could add the smell too so that viewers can get more of the trackside experience! as the smells are an important part of the experience!

@@anthonycubbon741 you can buy two stroke candles. i found myself following some mods yesterday for the smell. the kids loved it, the wife ,not so much.

Thanks - I spent ages on the editing! But really enjoyed putting it all together. This is 2017 classic tt. I will be at TT and classic tt this year doing lots more filming! Was a real shame about William Dunlop last year he was a class act

Yes it is a great sound, I hope there will be some bikes like that at the classic tt this year

Doesn't compare to a multicylinder 4-stroke. I used to hate the wall to wall 2-strokes in the 1970s, so I might be biased!

Thanks, I am glad you picked up on that point. I really like the sound of the bikes once they have gone past, the sound of machines changing up gears accelerating out of corners can sound really good!

Yeh and no poxy music.....only the sound of racing bikes having the bollock squeezed out of them👍

Yeah I should be able to get some footage of bsa and triumph to upload next year 😀

What about Maria Costello on the Paton?

In the pits @ Goodwood, a father commentated to his son ' must be his wife sitting on while he's starting his Manx' I let him know who she is & her achievementshe was lost for words !. Funny as hell.

Thanks, I enjoy making these longer videos and have more in the pipeline for later this year!

Hi Derek. I am afraid I have been ill and not able to film the TT. Am getting better now though slowly and will be filming Southern 100 and classic tt. I have a few other ideas too. Thanks for your support,I missed not being able to get out to the tt

@@anthonycubbon741 Hi mate, so sorry to hear you're unwell, i do hope its not too serious just take extra care of yourself, the human body is not as tough as we'd like it to be is it . Will look forward to contacting you in the near future, just don't put any unnecessary pressure on yourself, hope things get back to normal for you soon, wishing you all the best mate.

Thanks. I appreciate those thoughts. I am over the worst of the illness now so am just resting and looking forward to the future. all the best

That is a good question and I am not entirely sure of what the regulations are. I do know though that many of the bikes are modern replicas of classic bikes and they are modified versions of the originals they were based on. Maybe someone with more technical knowledge can answer this question for you

Thank you. The music of the sound of the bikes is the best sound😀

Thanks for your message, I liked the colour scheme guy martin had on those bikes and that retro look was clearly inspired by some of the 1960s race machines. A nice mark of respect to a previous era I think. Glad you found the video interesting
