- It's Friday at the 2022 Isle of Man TT races, time for the second Supersport and Sidecar races, then the blue ribbon event, the Senior TT.
Will Dave get a grid slot for the biggest race of the year? And how will the weather treat the racers?
Our deepest condolences to the Stockton Family for their loss during the Sidecar TT race.
Apologies for the sound quality, it got very windy!
Due to copyright restrictions we're not allowed to record on bike footage :(
Your TT diary has been really special, Dave. It's not often us real road racing fans get to see such an honest record of the daily highs & lows (and all points in between) of racing at the TT: especially as there must've been many times you felt like switching off your camera to manage your own thoughts and feelings. A big THANK YOU to yourself and the team for providing us with an insight into what it's like to prepare for - and race - at the most incredible ribbon of tarmac in the world. Best wishes to you all; and my sincere condolences to the families, loved ones & friends of those that didn't manage to make it home.
I have much respect for all of your knowledge of motorcycles, getting multiple stock bikes race ready, vlogging throughout the TT event weeks, and ultimately for knowing when to get off the bike under your own power. Your content has been as professional as if it were done by film industry personnel.
I love the TT! The Isle of Man is as beautiful as it has always been from my perspective in front of a television. I've dreamed of coming to the TT for many years. A bucket list item that will probably never get checked off as many bucket list items never do but, if I ever do get that chance, I will look for you in the paddock!
Stay safe and thanx for allowing the world to get insight of all that is involved with the most thrilling event on the globe!
Cheers mate, from a fan in Rockwall, TX!
Well said Russell. And thanks Dave from a fan in upstate New York.
Dave, Russell Jones said everything I wanted to say. Great job man. Thanks from Long Island N.Y.
The English residents of the island have been pushing to cancel the TT. Now that it was conveniently a disaster this year the push to cancel it has increased.
There aren’t enough Manx people left to save themselves let alone the TT.
Watch this space for simian boils outbreak here being blamed on TT.
@@ThePinkBinks Load of crap! If they ban the TT ( as many Manx have shown an interest) the island won’t be able to sustain itself and the British Government would take charge as is stated “that the island is aloud to be self governing as long as it can be financially self sufficient! This year wasn’t a disaster as you state, it was the most profitable ever! Everyone accepts the deaths on the mainland. Won’t happen in the next ten years!
That whole series was awesome. So much respect.
This is the true spirit of the IOM TT, I admire all the competitors and have great respect for you Dave for ending the race when you did because as you say you live too fight another day. As you said regroup and return next year, all the best to you and your team keep on racing and the videos coming.
Great videos over the the last few weeks at the TT Dave, you gave a real insight into the highs and Lows of the worlds greatest motorcycle event. Pleased your back in one piece.
Dave, your video diary has been an absolute joy to watch these last few days. You have managed to give a real taste of what it's like to race on the island. Your tributes to those who passed have been very moving. while still making it plain, that to race here is something 'other'.
Thanks for everything and stay young :-)
This series of videos is the missing ingredient needed to present an all-round picture of the TT. For every high-profile rider there are ten dedicated competitors, who don't expect to feature in the headlines but who really embody the spirit of the racing. It's clear that camaraderie, fun, and safety are in the end more important than trophies.
I agree I really think the tt+ package would have been way better with a look at the privateers and their set ups compared to the big guys
100%
Spot on 100%
Fantastic stuff Dave and many thanks for taking us all with you for the ride! 👍
Heart goes out to the family’s of the riders who didn’t make the ferry home. It’s the tragic & hard to reconcile part of the sport we love so much. ❤️
Dave H, I’ve absolutely loved your blogs throughout TT fortnight. So glad you made the Superbike race on the Saturday. Your enthusiasm and down to earth approach is infectious. Keep up the great work and look forward to all your future updates.
I'm really glad you got it in the senior. Thanks for these videos, you've shown a different and complementary side of the TT from what we see in the official coverage and I've really enjoyed seeing that. It's been a great (if not quite perfectly organised) TT, but also a tragic TT, and you've communicated both sides to us.
Also, that was the right choice at the end! Bring on next year!
Dave and team, I've enjoyed watching your videoed experience far more than all the rest of the coverage put together. I've loved the banter in the pits, the deep reflection of what it means to be a road racer. I can only imagine what it must be like to set off down Bray Hill, but have huge respect for those who do! I'll be watching in the future for sure.
much respect man great content during the tt. no sugar coating anything you're as genuine as they come.
again thank you for taking us along with you mate. cheers!
This has been an excellent series to watch, your openness, honesty and enthusiasm have been inspiring. Congratulations 👍🏼
Absolutely brilliant. Glad you got a run in the senior, very well deserved! Thank you for letting us inside your world during the most intense time. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole TT, raising a glass to you all. Cheers
If you do not enjoy your ride, it is wise not to push your luck. Better next time Dave, you are one of the TT heroes, whatever the result you achieve.
It’s an achievement in itself, making it to the TT. It’s an achievement getting on the grid. Your doing what only most people can dream of.
There is more road racing to be done this year. There is always next year 🙂👍🏻
No matter what the result and lap times say Dave you did your best and came away in one piece, look at this year as getting back into the TT and regroup for next year, I'm sure you learnt alot about the course and thing to be improved on the bikes.
Well done to yourself and the lads and sponsors who all helped you out.
I'm really glad you got to run the Senior. I can't imagine how hard of a decision it was to have to end your run early. You went with your instincts and no one but you knows how that should work. Your videos about the TT and the prep you and the guys did were great. Very informative. Don't beat yourself up too much. You are one of the few to actually get to ride in the TT races. A rare breed you are. Best of luck.
Well done for actually getting to ride in the Senior. Correct decision to come in early if it wasn’t happening. Well done to the team for their efforts. It has been really good to see some behind the scenes action that involves the rank & file riders & not just the top riders. The down side is as always the sad news of fatalities. Best wishes to all their family & friends.
I've really enjoyed these TT vlogs, thanks for doing them and providing a real insight into the highs and lows of the two weeks. Totally the right call to come in on the Senior race, I'm sure racing round there is not something to be done 'for the sake of it' and if you're not enjoying it then pulling in is the sensible decision. Look forward to the next videos as always!
Dave and Crew. A brilliant end to one of the most emotional TTs in living memory. Your passion and emotion really come through. Cant start to imagine what its like to be in that pressure cooker environment. But its safe to say you really are a TT Hero. And the insight that you have given us fans has been amazing. Thank you so much. Stay safe. Regroup and hopefully go again at the Manx or TT 23. 🤛💥👍
Definitely the right choice to pull up, and your content this week has been great, really well done on the whole effort to you and your team.
Anybody who can do one lap at race speed deserves respect. So big respect, plus more for knowing your limit and making the hard decision. Hope you get another go and do better next year. In the mean time, ride your bike and have fun.
Great that you managed to produce content and race , I think it’s a lot to do . Respect 👍🙂
Absolute best decision Dave
Bloody superb series of videos
You seem to be beating yourself up, but in reality you have become a hero to us watching from home giving us a real insight into the real world of the TT
Bravo to all of you 👍
Respect for calling it a day! I enjoyed your reports!
Well Dave I’m glad I found your channel. I am obsessed with your racing now. Your insight and behind the scenes look is the best. You’ve accomplished what the rest of us can only dream about. YOUR THE MAN.
Yes most people just dream of being able to compete at the TT, keep living your best life and thanks for sharing your journey in life.
Brilliant series of videos and a great set of fellas. Was moved by your heartfelt words for the riders not going home Dave and the reasoning for carrying on. Well said.
Great videos throughout, absolutely loved them. Thanks
Glad your back in one piece , livr to race another day 🙏
Thanks Dave and the team for portraying the Real TT. Just Brilliant. Good to get you back in Lincolnshire. Cheers Rich
Dave ! Realness level is off the chart. So authentic. Thank you. ❤️ motorcycles. 🥃 to those who stayed. So honest. Love it.
Hi Dave this is john and Linda Bellamy UK. We love your video's, your so honest well done you did it .next year will come soon enough. Looking forward to seeing your videos. Proud of you .and your team .Linda and John Bellamy.UK
Deepest Respect and Thanks to you Dave ( Bob, Gaz ) for the TT gems you shared with us! Your insight of what a TT rider experiences made me want to have a Kibosh ( one needs balls of steel to have one ), and the banter with the many TT riders is just ace with a close up look at John's bike! I knew Gaz would be able to handle his fame.... What a great team, you guys rock, all the best, until next year! It's been a fantastic TT with all the joys and sorrows of the biker world we love. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for giving us mere mortals an insight into what it takes, to compete, at the best motorcycle meeting on the planet. Sorry it didn't go you're way this time, but there's always next year. Thank you.
Well done and congratulations to you all. You're all bloody hero's. Thank you for the fascinating insight of your TT 2022. 👍
Thank you for allowing us to be along for the ride. Thank you for being so candid w/respect to the emotions, it cannot be easy to be so openly transparent under such a difficult and contradictory dynamic that the IOM presents. Kudos for retaining one's sanity. You're a f*cking legend mate!
The videos of your fortnight tell us fans more than we could ever expect.
Thanks Dave and team Obsession Engineering.
Thank you Dave and team,really enjoyed watching a different aspect of the TT. Wishing you well for your future racing endeavours 👍
Good call Dave, you have done outstanding in both your riding and bringing another very raw aspect of the TT to life for many of us that haven’t experienced it.
Huge respect to you and the boys, i admire the honest way you have narrated these videos and enjoyed the look at how a privateer does it. Thanks for taking us on the journey
You are truly a great guy respect to you all , was over there myself back again you take care ,I'm addicted 😀
Brave to go out in difficult conditions, wise to call it a day glad to see you safe
Well done Dave respect for competing in the worlds best motorcycle racing circuit, was watching from the startline 👍
Great watch Dave, not really sure what to say to you as I’ve never raced the TT but I can see you’re plainly nervous, all I can say is really well done, I’d love to have the chance to race in it so I’m incredibly envious of you doing it. You’re all absolute hero’s to me and it’s been a real pleasure watching you race and well done to all the boys with you as well, you all should be proud of yourselves. ❤️👏
Congratulations Dave you have done another fantastic IOMTT 2022 👍 with videos included
I want to thank you for your videos, I thoroughly enjoyed them. I am a motorcyclist and racer on the dirt at 56 years still doing it, painful sometimes 😂 I have a limited budget like your three man team, and I appreciate the candid videos, and love the footage of the Isle of Man. I’m from the U.S. and LORD willing would love to see the races in person
I never comment on videos, but this is honest & inspirational, I wish you all the best in the future. Thank you 💪🏻
What an excellent series. Essence of the TT captured perfectly. Well done Dave and team 👏. I have subbed of course 👍
Thanks Dave and the team. It has been mega following you guys this TT. Incredibly honest and emotional story, told with tact and humour. Looking forward to seeing you next year. Big respect!
Reall enjoyed you TT adventure and fair play to you for pulling out of the senior . Raced there back in the very late 60s. If your not enjoying it your more likely to make a mistake and that is definitely not the place to do. Obviously it so much more professional than when I did it
Can I just say I've throughily enjoyed these videos and you've gained a new fan in me. It's fantastic to have such an insight into behind the scenes, with the added bonus of No Swearing, means I get to watch in front of the kids and hopefully get them hooked into it aswell. Will certainly be following you from now on. Top job
Well done Dave for what you managed to achieve and also for making my TT that bit more enjoyable.
Fantastic work, I have thoroughly enjoyed every bit of your coverage. Well done on a great effort and very wise to stop when you don't feel it. I am a great believer in that attitude and every time that I have ignored that feeling, I've been punished! :-). My son and plan to be there in 2024 and are looking to volunteer ourselves to any team that needs a hand! We can fully pay our own way, know our way around a bike and can make tea! :-)
Well done Dave……and team !
Really enjoyed your TT series; insightful, entertaining, humorous and emotional.
100% the most sensible decision Dave…..you cannot be anything but totally focused around here…..roll on 2023👍🇮🇲💪
Congratulations Dave, you have done the right thing. You were at the2022 IOMTT where everyone dreams of doing & you have done it
This TT series has been fantastic Dave, proper entertaining and a great insight behind the scenes. Thoroughly enjoyed it and good to see you getting the big girl out in the senior. Nice work lads, well done 👍
I have thoroughly enjoyed every video you have posted on the TT, and I feel like I have made a friend. From that perspective, I am glad my friend knew when to make a tough but smart decision. Cheers Dave. Stay Safe.
Balls of steel to even contemplate racing here mate
I've loved following this vlog. Well done the whole team!!!
Nice one , enjoyed the series a great insight into the event , if it was easy everyone would do it ,sometimes things just don’t workout as plan .There’s always another day !
Love the vlogs Dave. I was looking out for you around the pits to say hello but never bumped into you. Loved watching the Aprilia lit over the mountain after having watched it getting prepared from your videos.
Good decision to pull out. Have really enjoyed watching your TT experience.
Just stumbled across this podcast as I’m thinking about getting an aprilia tuono.didn’t know who this guy was to my shame and embarrassment even though I went to this years tt, like most people you tend to focus on the top names, the hickys, mcpints, not that I think any less of these guys it’s just that they don’t get mentioned in any of the blurb. So would like to say well done to you your team and everyone who completed, your all my hero’s. The insight was great and well put together and enjoyable to watch. Best of luck for the future, and am now a subscriber.🏍👍
Kudos Dave. Takes real experience to know when to call it a day fella. What a difficult TT 2022 was. Such excitement tempered with much sadness.
Hi Dave, like so many other have really enjoyed your videos that you've put so much effort into. Just so much better than the ITV4 rubbish, which this year plumbed new depths I felt.
The way you expressed your emotions about the incredibly sad losses was absolutely spot on. Your emotion and empathy came through so clearly and at the same time you were able to justify and quantify why we do what we do.
The worlds biggest thank you for all that you do.
Quite simply a top man, brilliant.
If anyone could ride in the TT, but no, ... I spent 25 years without a road bike, or any bike. I think, ... I'ld had enough back then. Only this year, after looking over some dual sport bikes and such for quite a long while, I saw a newer version of my old road bike. I could not get enough of dreaming again, until I sat on a new road bike. There will be another day to ride. Godspeed.
Thank you Dave, a very interesting and heart felt series of videos, that showed a bit of the other side of the TT.
You're a champion mate 👍. Glad you got to ride. Don't regret the 4 laps or be disappointed 😟. Respect for pulling in. I know how hard it was, but we'd rather hear from you after a safe 4👍. Sod 🌬🌪🌪🌪💩
A job well done on every aspect and insights into the TT. Thank you and team Obsession for sharing.
Thanks for the vlogs this TT! Mike is a legend raced motocross with him for many years
He is, a good guy for sure
Great job Dave. Well done. Safety first. There is always 2023.
Greenlight eat your heart out! Great job Wavey
Well done mate, great videos. In the senior I think you did the right thing. Stay safe.
Well done, congratulations and thank you. Excellent vlogs.
Well done Dave and crew for your insights and nuance to TT Racing. See you next year.
Gaz made the same decision I believe 🤔? If it's too windy for the hulk it's too windy 😉. It's been good meeting you guys 👍thanks
14:35, you don't come across as harsh at all and the emotion is showing a bit. You're a great lad.
This has been something very special, very genuine and very, very good to watch. Thank you Dave and Team.
Really appreciate the videos Dave.
Hey Dave. I found one of your Tuono videos completely by chance. As you can maybe tell from the recent comments, I've ended up on a bit of a binge of the channel since then... I had no idea I would find a diary as detailed and as many-faceted as this; you did well covering both the day-to-day, the whole atmosphere of the place, the technical nitty-gritty of running the bikes and also the heavy moral dilemmas. Proper good job! It's what 44Teeth's videolog could have been, but unfortunately that was obviously cut short.
I was at the TT for the first time ever this year and I thoroughly enjoyed both the island, the spectacle of the races and the community amongst the fans and campers. I will have to come back, even though it's a bit of a ride from Denmark.
Had I known of your channel back then I would definitely have come over to say hi, share a can of Kibosh and ask Gary what comes after Glen Helen 😂
Gary has no idea 🤣
Hopefully we'll see you back at the TT, there is a definite magic around the place.
And thanks for your positive feedback it's really appreciated
Love the fact you show the genuine emotions of the TT from a riders perspective. I know motocross riders that will be physically shaking and their ego won’t let them admit it, they will argue till they are blue in the face that they are not nervous lol. So yeh, love the fact you show the rollercoaster of emotions you go through.
Good one Dave, it takes more balls to stop & say enough.
a difficult two weeks and hats off to you and your team Dave, thank you so much for the videos, I made a point of looking out for you, the twin and the big bike sounded awesome on track, you looked so disappointed in the truck at the end but be proud of what you did, four laps in those conditions is amazing, well done. As a spectator when there's a red flag incident my heart sinks and waiting for news is gut wrenching then you here the awful news it's heart breaking, on the Saturday I was so excited for the Senior I felt guilty after what happened on Friday, I can't imagine what it's like as a racer. RIP to those we lost this year. Once again thank you and well done.
Brilliant vlog, thank you for sharing
Did you have fun then dave apart from the losses, it's a hard pill to swallow, but it's the ultimate test. Thanks for your professional video content. After watching the full video it now makes sense, I seen you coming past the railway ( union mills) then didn't see you again. Good luck for the rest of the season and hope to see you next year at the iom.
Don’t be disappointed. It needs to be fun. Great video. Much appreciated.
Brilliant effort guys and love these uploads👏🏼. Great to meet you all in the paddock and look forward to next year 🤞🏼
When I get time to get out on my 06gsxr 1000 some days my head is not in the right frame of mind,, and I just toodle about few wee blasts nothing mad ,,if people like you didn't race and enjoy it we would not have any racing ,, taking time to explain to us why Biggest respect to you and always next year Mate ,, Safety first ,, and I enjoyed the VIDEO FORMATS ON THE GETTING THE BIKE READY,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ FROM NORTHERN IRELAND 👍👍👍👍
Really enjoyed your vids over this past fortnight. They give a great insight into what a privateers experience of the TT is like. Thanks for posting and taking us along for the ride.
A slightly anti-climactic ending, but better safe than sorry. As you say it should be fun. The weather is always so unpredictable for road racing. A totally brilliant series of reports preparing for and experiencing the IOM TT. Wonderful presentation. Great gang of guys. Good Luck for the future. 👍
Congrats on your TT and this series. Your willingness to show the hard decisions may save lives Dave - and we should all thank you for that. Excellent series, successful TT despite the positions and hopefully, a memorable event for you and the guys. Thanks.
Very wise decision Dave! You need to enjoy it order to ride safely. Thnx for the briliant footage, really enjoyed it a lot!! And deepest respect for you and the team to ride the TT!! Hope to see you back next year!
I've enjoyed all your TT vids guys. Well done. The memories are yours forever.
Any rider that has ever really tried to push, knows that your retirement from Seniors is a decision based on experience and rationality. Its a state of mind aswell as body and bike. Good lad 👏👏 you did right. 👍👍
I'd give anything to ride Bray Hill Flat Out with a Crowd.... just once.
The bonus for me is.... that I've found your channel 👍👍 so im looking forward to more bike antics v soon.
Cheers all.... Steve 👋🇬🇧😎
Hi Dave, great catching up and chatting, although TT is over please keep the videos coming, the best on You Tube! Cheers H in Oz
Gday Dave.
Bless the crazy TH-cam algorithm.
So it gave me for the first time your BMW big bike TT prep video the other week. And I’ve Subbed and enjoyed every video since.
So impressed equally with your mechanical and riding prowess. 👌🏼
Good to see safe from the race weeks.🏁
Now off to your homepage. What’s this a SP1 restoration vids. Yes please. 👍🏼👍🏼
Been great getting these updates through the TT, a very honest look at what the fortnight looks like away from the front-runners.
Thanks for the updates, glad you got out on the big bike in the end!
