- 1986 Isle of Man TT Races. A year I will never forget. The sound of Geoff Cannells' voice "oh my godfathers", as a pony leaps a hedge onto the course by Ballaugh Bridge and collides with a rider, killing him instantly. Such an eventful year and one that will never be forgotten.

If only Robert Dunlop lived to see what his son accomplished. Great documentary.
I always remember Roberts fatal accident at the Northwest, and the organisers tried to prevent Michael from taking part in a later race. But MD went out and won the race, dedicating the win to his dad. I shed a few tears that day.
These old videos a great, my parents were at the TT in 86, my mother was pregnant with me at the time too but i didn’t arrive for another few months. Nearly 40years later and TT is bigger than ever and going strong. Greatest show on earth.
Almost 40 years and the Dunlop name still dominates much of the time.
@@Manxmann We’re lucky to have been about to see them all race, I’ve seen them all race and watched William and Michael come up, my young lad seen William and Michael race but he was born 5 months before the NW in 08 so he missed Joey and Robert, the youngest child has only seen Michael race so I’m delighted for all the times I was brought to Skerries and Killalane etc when I was a kid.
My first tt was when I was a 3-month-old baby lying in a pram while my mother, father, and sister provided tea and sandwiches from a marquee at Hillberry in 1952. Maybe Joey Dunlop was there too as we shared the same birth year.
This terrific stuff! Thanks from Texas!
A treat to watch this, many thanks and greetings from sunny South Africa
Thank you, from an unusual sunny Isle of Man.
Man i missed the history of 1984 boat sinking full of race bikes. 1986 man racers had it rough life n death in bikes rally f1
That whole era had many highs and lows. And they weren't very balanced at times.
Thanks for posting this, it's great. Wow, what an era. It looks like many things have changed for the better. It is so great not to have so many accidents.
And the lap speeds keep climbing. There has to be a limit.
seen this when i was about 18ish on me lc n luved it ....a1
It certainly brings back memories.
Superb👍😊
I love all the old road racing especially the Isle of man Joey and Robert looking so young 😊
Now Michael making the Dunlop Dynasty even greater
Michael could stop now, but I'm sure he won't.
@Manxmann That would be like asking politicians to not lie 🤥
Never going to happen
I've been there first time this year 2024, after trying to do it for the last 25 years more or less (im 50 now...) and, if before was very attracted by the idea of racing on a 60kms tracks around an island, ater see what really happens there and what the whole thing mean for thousands of people around the world, i can say im hooked. I hope i can go there every year for the rest of my life. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for your comment. And of course, thanks for making the journey to feel the buzz, excitement, and atmosphere. Sorry for weather disuptions this year. It's the one thing we can't control.
@@Manxmann thanks to anyone involved to make it posible. Without the Orange Army, police and Manx people in general, that will not be posible nowadays. Is simply amazing how well everything works. Thinking very seriously to become marshal...
A funny story from a first time marshal this year. @@botiduran344Marshalled at the TT this week, I’m not allowed to take photos of the races. Managed to wave one green flag. Was fire marshal another day, didn’t have a fire, was deputy fire marshal on a third day, the senior fire marshal wasn’t called into action, so neither was I. On days 4 and 5 I was tasked with picking up any crashed bits of motorcycles, no one crashed.
Was desperate for Michael Dunlop to get his record breaking amount of wins, whilst I was on track, he didn’t, he managed it the day after I left.
Can’t wait for next year. 😂
@@Manxmann except for the historic moment of Dunlop beating the record, the rest i guess are all good news and perfect situation for any marshal: enjoy as closer to the track as anybody can be, without living any dramatic situation. Good for him!
@@botiduran344 Agreed.
Brilliant mate
Excellent movie, the things that you would do to recover your race bike 👌👌 not much money and dedication
Real dedication, indeed.
That was amazing. Pulling them up from the sea, disassembling, cleaning and rebuilding. Dedication!!!!
They were lucky to retrieve the bikes as the sea is very deep to the west of the island , the east side is much shallower. Incredible, really.
seen this film loads of times but just wondering ,is that wee little curly haired kid at the end micheal? x
Michael was born 10th of April, 89, so, unlikely.
oh man that hair at 0:10
Wonder if he still has it , now almost 40 years later.
Oh man … to have those glorious locks still would be amazing. Heck, I am just in my 50s and would kill for a luscious head of hair like that.
Neil Robinson was the one to watch.
Yes, a good Ballemena man left too soon at 24 years of age. 1986 was a disastrous racing season for the irish racers losing 5, or was it 6 riders.
