1" Axle Trailer Bearings Replacement
Both bearings were noisy on the old trailer and one wheelwas stuck solid when I last came to use it. Got it going by using some brut force and WD40 but definitely time to change the bearings before going any distance. In the end, replacing the entire hubs was quicker & virtually as cheap as just the bearings.

eBay Spark Plug Cleaner
มุมมอง 56วันที่ผ่านมา
Saw this on eBay & thought it worth a try. I used to have an ultra cheap version that had crocodile clips to attach to a 12V battery. It used a small motor & impeller to throw grit at the spark plug. It worked surprisingly well but gave up eventually. This should be a more robust replacement.
'Naked' Daimler V8 Runs

The cute 2.5L Daimler V8 running on the floor. This engine is from the saloon (same body shell as the Jaguar Mk2). For example, the thermostat housing is on top, rather than to the front. NB: This clip is from a publicly accessible eBay advert.

Daimler SP250 Starter Solenoid Glitch
มุมมอง 8821 วันที่ผ่านมา
Out and about in the Daimler SP250 when it decided that it wouldn't start. The ignition turned on but the starter was completely dead. Fortunately I was able to use the manual button on the starter motor solenoid to start the engine. I had to lift the bonnet and start the engine this way everytime I stopped on the way home. I finally found time to investigate. . . . 01:30 Volts reaching the sol...

KeeGone Ice Machine Fixed
มุมมอง 156หลายเดือนก่อน
We purchased this ice machine 7 months ago & it's had light occasional use since then, before it stopped working. It became clear that the 'ice bucket full' sensor had failed. I contacted the supplier via Amazon and they eventually agreed to supply a replacement machine, which is great. I didn't want to play with the failed machine until resolving things with the supplier but once a new machine...

Tannus airless tyres. I thought I had a video of fitting the red Tannus tyres to this bike but apparently not. I did make a video of Tannus products on my TERN eBike. They were only 50% successful in this case - the weight on the rear wheel was too much for the airless tube. The front wheel's fine though - th-cam.com/video/4zFlv06Wnj4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e0QHi28AlYcPOyQR I've had the red Tannus tyres...

Third guy not contributing
Bro. They never heard of "picking up he bike"? Not PULLING ON THE FUCKING ROAD
The rider is okay ....the bike can be fixed or replaced. Well done Marshalls .
Wheel the fbokn thing
Not feasible
One man with gloves and no lifting straps. Not prepared at all 😮
Bet they ruined his fork legs dragging that bike very painfully, didn't they see it has wheels 😂
The front end was wrecked anyway. Rim broken & wheel pushed back against the fairing. Looked like the frame around the headstock was distorted too. A few extra scratches on one, already damaged, bike are not worth red flagging the qualifying session for, provided the marshals can safely clear the road - as they did.
Give the guys some gloves please.
They have gloves available but chose not to use them this time
Pick it up.numb af these stewards theyve prob caused more damage than the wrap.up 😢🙈🙈🙈
There are good reasons not to pick it up - see previous comments. Also, the components they scratched were scrap anyway.
Its got wheels guys😢
Did they find these guys at the local geriatric ward for the criminally dim?
Hundreds of marshals are needed to cover the 37 mile course are volunteers. No volunteers, no TT. If you’re not a criminal geriatric maybe you’d consider volunteering?
Oh please pick it up properly! 🤦♂️
Not a great idea. It would mean turning their back on the bikes still circulating at speed (albeit on yellows). Also, the front wheel was pushed against the fairing & wouldn’t turn fully. It’ll be in gear & may take some fiddling to free the back wheel. Better just drag it off and get the precious qualifying session back up to speed ASAP
The bloke in the orange cap about as much use as a chocolate T pot !
What the fuck are those morons doing?
If this was F1 it would have been a RED FLAG!!
Le pilote va bien 😅🙌🇮🇲
NEVER HEARD OF ROPES?
WHAT WOULD THEY DO WITH ROPES THAT’D BE SAFER & QUICKER THAN WHAT THEY DID?
@@Greeves Just look how unprofesial it is pulled off, after dropping it often3 men can't do the job
If you’re able to, volunteer as a marshal yourself. You can help improve standards. 👍 www.iomttmarshals.com/
@@Greeves I'm an engineer so I see things different
Great, I’m an engineer too. All the more reason to bring your expertise to the Island, if you’re able 🙂
Umm it's still got wheels!! Ffs what is the matter with them?
They had good reason not to lift the bike
3rd man was as useful as a chocolate teapot! 😂
Thankfully the marshalls don't have to clear bikes off the track too often... their job is crowd control, and they do a good job.
That's horrendous to watch... Stand it up and push it ffs
There are good reasons that they didn’t; not least the front wheel wouldn’t turn fully
Stupid marshall
Awful bolloxing around on the track.
Brain deads don't know how to wheel a bike?
Shocking
Es tut mir Leid, Egal- du lebst. Alles GUTE !
So real question when they crash are the bikes usually totaled out? Or do they fix them or does it vary on how bad it is?
I’d say “depends” but in this case, new front wheel, forks, clip-ons, levers, mirrors. The headstock looked bent back too; so could be new frame - crack tested at the very least. Then all the damaged plastic + a major rebuild to check for any other damage.
These kind of people mess with my head. I keep waiting for something that makes some logical sense in the stream of words and nothing ever materializes. It's unsettling on a very basic human level. This man is crazy and needs help, not debunking.
Would be better to get strong marshals not OAPs
You sound like a potential voluteer. The TT needs hundreds of marshals to cover the unique 37 mile circuit & they're all volunteers www.iomttmarshals.com/
Wie dumm kann man sich anstellen 😢
They know it has wheel yeah ?
Yeah but the front one's pushed back againt the fairing. . .
Maybe marshals should be trained on how to right a bike?
I don't think they need training in "how to right a bike". There were good reasons for their choice to drag the bike off the road.
So glad the rider is OK!!
Marshall should bike straps
They have straps available but, I guess, judged that it would take too long to mess with them. Every second they're on the road, they're in danger of getting hit by bikes passing on yellow flags. They also want to keep the qualifying session running; the public roads are only closed for racing for a specific times during the TT fortnight
🙌 must be on fire picking up that by the tyres
BETWEEN THE THREE OF THEM THEY STILL COULDN'T PICK THE DAMN BIKE UP 😒 🙄...ITS ALOT EASIER WHEN ITS ON ITS WHEELS
Not when the front wheel won't turn full circle and the bike's likely stuck in gear. Difficult to drag on warm, sticky race tyres
Glad he's ok. Why Marshals are '100' years old, each? They should be 20yo lads who can lift bike with 1 hand
The marshals are all volunteers, so they get who they get. Don't underestimate the expertise the 'old hands' bring to the party though. Volunteers from 16y are welcome; see you there in 2025 www.iomttmarshals.com/
@@Greeves I don't underestimate them, respect for them, just surprised there is no 16 or 20 yo volunteers
Does anybody k ow of there was any fatal crashes in the 2024 isle of man tt? I hope not is why im asking
Best to check the news sites rather than ask the question here. E.g. www.iomtoday.co.im/tt
@@Greeves ty much appreciated
Great to see rider OK..😮.. BUT THE WORKERS WITH NO GLOVES😬
The "workers" are all volunteers, giving up their time for the love of the sport. They do have gloves available at the marshal posts but evidently chose not to use them in this case 🙂
The Marshalls did more damage than the crash. Id be pissed and by looks of rider he was a bit 😂 glad to see him up straight away tho
They didn’t do more damage. The bike hit a curb & the barrier at 60mph. The rim & forks were damaged, headstock bent back & the handle bar snapped off. They cleared the road safely & quickly without having to interrupt the all important qualifying session. The rider wasn’t angry with the marshals.
Oh les cons..ils trainent la moto!

Hi 999greeves May I use this on my channel, full credited of course? Where did this happen ? Thanks
OK to use. Can't remember where, though it was near Birmingham. Exact coordinates are on the video, bottom left.
as a 53 year old biker, i will let all those idiots have a go at the marshals, the bikes handle bars where handing off, no one in the world could have lifted that upright and moved it, open your eyes next time, marshal risk their lives daily we these guys can race
If the bike didn't suffer from any damage before - finally the marshalls managed to damage it. 🤷🏼♂️
The front end was wrecked, including the frame headstock area (before the marshals safely cleared it from the road)
Uf el sonido de las motos que pasan
Oh, dear....
Maybe time to get some more reactive young fellas on the job gentlemen. Grow old gracefully and move the hell out the way while you still can 😂
Volunteers are always welcome but, right now, the TT couldn’t run without these guys. It takes hundreds of volunteers to cover 37 miles. www.iomttmarshals.com/
Hay
I think it has wheels. 😂
The front end was too damaged to be wheeled. There're also other reasons they don't lift a bike in a situation like this
Wie kann man das Motorrad nur so über den Asfald schleifen.
Thanks one again to all track marshals, particularly those venture onto a live track to rescue men and machines.
