The Isle Of Men: The World's Deadliest Motorcycle Race | TIME (Reaction) 

Hello everyone! Yes we know that it is Isle Of MAN and not MEN. TIME magazine however, posted that in their title. Not sure if they were putting a play on words or not, we decided to keep their title for our own reaction.

"There's a green blur on the left,a grey blur in the middle and a green blur on the right; I try to stay in the grey blur..." Joey Dunlop.

Connor really downplays his injuries in this video. 2 10 inch rods held the various shattered and 5 broken vertebrae in his back and his arm had to be completely rebuilt with 2 plates and 16 screws. After all that he STILL went back! These people are next level humans and, love or hate the sport, you can't have anything but the utmost respect and admiration for what they do!

Try Peter Hickman fastest lap onboard camera for prospective

Connor was born and grew up on the Isle of Man, so not competing would be unthinkable for him. That accident was in 2010, he was racing there in 2011, he missed 2012 due to injuries at a road race just before TT time, 2013 to 2019 he was competing, 2020 & 2021 were cancelled due to covid. 2022 & 2023 he was there, as he will be again this year. The guy who beat him, Michael Dunlop, has won 25 TTs, just one less than his late uncle Joey Dunlop, Joey is considered the greatest TT rider ever Michael has lost his uncle, father & a brother to this sport (TBF, non of them were killed at the TT) The current lap record holder is Peter Hickman, who was the first man to break the 135 mph barrier in 2018, last year he upped it to over 136 mph, you can see a riders eye pov of that lap on RU-vid, if you feel brave enough!

As someone involved in the TT, I ask you to please avoid the TT Crash Compilations. Official videos that may have a few crashes in won't have fatalities. There are awful people who post fatal incidents they've filmed, without considering those left behind. Enjoy our amazing sport

PTSD 😅 they dont have time for that in the Isle of MAN T.T. race

Thanks for your respectful reactions so far. You will obviously be shocked by things you'll see but I can't tell you how cool it is to see a respectful reaction. From the outside the guys (and girls) look mental but they are actually skilled and brave. Although I've lost many friends to the sport over the years, it is an honour to help my friends achieve their dreams. Conor, the guy in the video, is a friend and I couldn't respect him more. This film was nearly a decade ago. You can see how well he's done since this film, in BETWEEN THE HEDGES

Since 1937, only one year (1982) someone didn't die. The average is 2-3 a year. The worst year was 2005 where 11 people died including riders, a marshal, and bystanders

Conor is still racing and will be this year. He was born in the Isle of Man and although he is still to win a TT he has many podiums (12 according to Wikipedia) and normally finishes high up. He opened his own coffee shop up which in Ramsey which he used to also serve in but it closed in 2023. He still has a coffee machine and coffee grinder supplying business called Coffee Mann. His nickname is the 2 metre man as he is over 6 foot, which is very tall for a motorcycle racer and has to have a extra high screen on the bike so he can tuck under it.

tried it in 99 once, never again, wonderful but very scary also! never took the leather and helmet again....

Same weekend same course, they also do side cars and they are even more nuts. Well worth checking out.

Thanks for this reaction, Guys. Average speeds of 130mph as was said but speeds of up to 230mph at some points. 230 Miles Per Houre!

So glad yall checked out the TT 🤟🏻

Never could understand how those motorcycles can carry the weight of their balls

Worth noting that the average speed is 130 + mph, but the bikes reach near 200 mph on the fastest parts!!!

The challenge of moving on after an incident is something everyone handles differently. Anyone at the top of any extreme sport has had many close calls and injuries in getting to that level. Most don't give up their passion after a single mistake, if they did they would never reach the levels they do. Many people I know across a multitude of dangerous sports, all say they would want a "clean death" doing what they love compared to wasting away in a hospital bed. Perspective.

Guy Martin is the man, the brass orbs that lad has. Check out the Northern Ireland north west 200, most of the roads are narrower than the TT

YALL must watch the isle of man tt TOP speed moments to do it justice 🔥👍

Time for the sidecars 😈🏍️💨💨💨💨

Have a look at it from a Rally Drivers POV. Peter Hickman's fastest lap from his onboard Camera, driving a Subaru WRX. It's brilliant.

I've never raced like these guys but I understand it. I have a similar mindset. I've done things and been through things that scared me but as soon as it didn't kill me, it was behind me. If I can do something, I can do it and will continue to do it. One freak accident in the past doesn't control what I do in the future. My brother hates it. We were almost in a deadly car crash one time. We would have been killed but somehow squeaked through unharmed. While the tire and brake smoke still filled the car, I was talking about where we were headed and what we were going to be doing. My brother was a wreck and couldn't even talk. We were also in a terrible head on collision one time. We hit each other in a dust cloud on ATVs. We both had some terrible injuries. It haunted him for decades and I'd stopped thinking about it on the very night that it happened. We survived. I don't see any reason to dwell on it. Maybe there's something wrong with me. lol

In another video it says he broke his back in multiple places, among other things. They show him hobbling on crutches, etc. as he recovered.

Right now lads watching this will die or be seriously injured in " The Man." They choose to do so.

Reaction was awesome! I’d love to see some Rally car reactions too, I’m sure you’d be blown away !

As someone who got rear ended in a stop sign, I do get ptsd when someone stop at the last second, it was a week of pain but the 3rd day of the accident I went for a walk, gotta thank the chiropractor and the assistants that help me.

TT = Titanium Testicles. These guys that do this race are a different breed.

Great react you two, there is a vid on the history of this race, sorry can't name it, that is worth a look. Keep well, stay happy, greetings from Down Under.

the kind of men who race in this are the kind of men that dont get PTSD lol no disrespect to people suffering PTSD

I would suggest watching some of the onboard camera stuff that will show you the full lap from the riders perspective. Scary! Peter Hickmans record lap is good but there are others. It will open your eyes to the skill these riders have

These aren’t as mad as the sidecar racing which is all part of the IOM TT

If you look back at the footage you were talk about the rider in front raises his right leg telling the other rider on which side to pass.

It's a race on the Isle of Man, not the Isle of Men!

“I refuse to tiptoe through life, only to arrive safely at death.”

that intro sent me back to my black tongue days

I raced dirt track in the early 60's on Harley Davidsons. I rode the bike and sometimes it rode me. It was great fun.

Why do I keep seeing both mom's shoulder to shoulder arms crossed glaring and saying NO BIKES FOR YOU TWO WHILE WE LIVE!~

Connor has a cafe bar in Ramsey his home town, the cafe is called "Con rods" on Parliament street.

It wasn't Connors bike that caused the accident, it was a small cateye reflector on the centreline. It was shown in another video.

It's six laps for the senior race. I believe 4 for supersport class 3 for sidecars. The rl360 superstock this year is 3 lapsI live about a mile away from the start finish line and have seen the TT since I was a kid. Am 43 now. If u have any questions I'll do my best to answer them..😮

First time I saw the TT was in Tele, live. I nearly s...t myself, felt ill, really sick, but couldn't and haven't stopped watching. Still scars the s...t out of me and makes me ill

He's still racing the TT every year Connor Cummings

Connor is still racing

I think theyre teasing us cos it was supposed to be dbza finale yesterday or today 🥲

5:30 he just missed the wall..If he had hit the wall he would be dead now

Jeez, Riding the T T course is the most insane, crazy, wild, thing that its possible to do. Unless you have testicles the size of an elephant, & they are made of steel, then dont even think about riding the I. O. M. T T, i mean its just the craziest, most insane thing that a human being can do.

If you grew up watching roundy roundy NASCAR, you need to try some European Rallying, (also Time trials like the TT) or the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship from the Group B era, with factory teams and unlimited budgets. Or even F1, but my favourite is the 1980's/90's Super Tourers. Here's a clip to give you a taste of REAL racing... The music and I think the footage is from the PS1 game Toca Touring Cars intro showing actual races.... at 1:25. Yes, that is a Volvo "Station Wagon", or an "Estate" as we call them over here, so quick even the UK traffic cops had them for a while. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6JcYLeW1K0.htmlsi=T_efyjuHzCmrrS8a

You should check out the bikes that have sidecars and another rider do this course.

Now try the Dunlop family dynasty, a motorbike racing family, and there's a number of Videos out there, one you have to be over 18 to watch, and at your own discretion, showing accidents, some not so bad and one deadly, the rider was retiring from racing, but he didn't make it, there is the legend Guy Martin who has raced for many years, Michael Dunlop another legend on the Isle of man, and many more, I have no interest in seeing cars going in circles around a track, even F1 racing and Indycar racing are boring, motorbike racing is the best, so ENJOY yourself watching motoGP, and the Superbike World Championship, not forgetting the TT. 😊

You need to watch the on board lap with Peter Hickman. That's the best way to appreciate it.

React to Micheal Rutter onboard the ducati Panagale V4 part 1. He's not going full race speed but does show the speedo in mph, untill 190ish mph then he goes off the dial.

Its Connor's Birthday today! 27of May!

If ye react to Guy Martin's crash at the 2010 TT. They stopped the race to assist Guy and clear the road. When the race restarted Conor had that crash !

as a racedriver, u have to get back to it asap, this feelings come overtime, when u run it a month or 2 later, u fine! Also the moment u fear crashing is the moment u need to stop, i allways respected lauda for giving up 1 F1 title for not risking his life in a monsoon rain race

Isle Of MAN not Men - autonamous island in the Irish Sea between Ireland and England. Good reaction tho guys - there are a lot of better videos on this out there though - keep doing what your doing though i love your videos !!!

The TT began in 1907 and was 15 miles long. One lap is 37 ¾ miles long. The Superbike class consists of 6 laps or 226 ½ miles. The first 100mph lap was in 1957 by Bob McIntyre. well worth experiencing as spectator its as much as rush as the old Group B rallies There is a green blur and a grey Stay on the grey Blur = Asphalt

I THINK IT'S EVEN MORE DANGEROUS SINCE THEY REMOVED THE TRAFFIC LiGHTS.

TT racers are cut from a different cloth

This life? Es la vida? Lo que siento

Bienvenido a la vida

only the weak get PTSD that's the strength he was talking about. ride for life

Reaction ful lap please

prize money is peanuts compared to f1

in memory of those who are no longer here but still ride with us😔

*Isle of Man

Do you make reaction videos for money or for free too? I have already written a lot of songs to you in the comments that are really worth your attention and some of them are not popular and that’s why you still haven’t noticed them, but perhaps you have noticed them. Some of the coolest compositions: 1️⃣Chelsea Grin - Orc March; 2️⃣Our Demise - Flesh Vessel; 3️⃣Filth - Social.

its the isle of man not the isle of men like in your title

React to Ken Block Gymkhana next please you'll be introduced to a whole new things 😎🤙🙏

Check out Guy Martin

👏👏👍👍

Man. Not Men 😂

Would you please react to *before and after fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov*

OH MY FACKIN….. 😳😳😳

“The Isle of MEn”, Really? Where would that be?

Maunnnnnnzzz

Club motorsport can be just if not more dangerous - how did this driver survive ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Jj6SA2n8Ng.html

It's not isle of men it's the illegal of man.

Why do people call it the Isle Of Men TT. when it is really called, The Isle if MAN TT. raced every year on the Isle Of Man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Isle of man😶‍🌫️

The name is Isle of Man (nothing to do with gender) it's justa name.

Noooo, the video "world's most dangerous motorcycle race" is way better than this one 😕

Stupid auto correct. Not illegal. Ilse

If you fall out of an aicraft at 5000 ft you will reach terminal velocity which depends. Its between 120mph and 130mph. If you fall off a back on the man on a fast stretch, you are doing 180mph to 200mph. It all depends on what you hit.

Another wild fact, the Winner of the race Michael Dunlop is from a family of TT racers, many of whom have died taking part in the TT.

I see it's not your fault in this case, but the video you are reacting to. It's the Isle of Man, not Men. The name does not mean "dudes", but comes from the Celtic god "Manannán".

No 3 laps

These are the results from making people stronger. Unlike the situations now. Where they are making people mentally weaker

Man, not Men. The Isle of Man.🙄

I'm from Northern Ireland and wish it was banned so no more people will grieve anymore. It has destroyed families and friends lives.

nascar is for children

"Isle of Man", not "men"... just saying

What is it with these RU-vidrs. Do a little Due Diligence/fact checking before posting your videos. It's The Isle of Man not Men. I thank you.

When you get to that spot you push it and then you know wot you know I have lived and that's why he tells it❤

Please let me know if you saw the comment where I recommended TT3D, BETWEEN THE HEDGES and a couple of others as it has disappeared. I think it's because I put the name of my account on another platform (beginning with 'I'...it is my name with .tt. in the middle)

Hi m & c.check out anything by guy martin.he did well in the tt? But wasn't even a professional biker.grew up helping his dad fix lorrys(trucks in usa😀)but became a national hero because he was so humble,down to earth.been on various tv programs about speed & sheer mentalist!then went into programmes about England's industrial age,trains etc,which might sound boring but not from him & he was only in his 30's

are you aware that he is in a wheelchair? in 5:51 ?

Isle of MAN not men

Why do you think that the riders are crazy just because you can’t do it
