Let’s keep the excitement and discovery alive, friends!
Yeah, these guys are nuts. The guy doing the high speed acrobatic balancing act is known, affectionately, as the "monkey"🙈
In VERY SIMPLE
the tread on a road tyre does one job
It allows softer substrate to move outwards towards the edge of the tyre
So think about the puddle of water as the tyres roll over it
The DRY racing slick tyre/bald one sits ontop of water
The road one allows the water to fill the tread grooves which in turn allows for an easy way out
So less aquaplaning/hydroplaning for the road tyre
They do have tyres for different conditions like most racing
And any tread means less rubber in contact so less grip
Even assuming the same rubber
Fun fact
Most finish this race and only have around 10 miles of fuel at most
Running out isn't unknown
Most of the island has next to no speed limit and large sections have no speed limit ALL YEAR ROUND.
If they see you pushing your skill level you WILL KNOW About IT
ITS AN AMAZING PLACE
Oh and in an interview one guy can't remember his name
Said for years he had been getting his passenger's head half an inch of the hedge for the fans
After years of doing this he was walking a new comer around the track and realised it was a stone wall with a thin layer of ivy over it all that time
This one blew my mind
I lost a relative here in the Sidecars (combination) He loved this place, He was Ian Bell from Bedlington Northumberland, RIP Ian mate ❤.
Interesting fact - sidecar passengers all have difficulty walking on account of their massive testicles.
lol 😎👍
Small brains large balls 😎👍
😂😂😂
In answer to your question regarding Tyres ,treads are only necessary in the wet to disperse the water, slick tyres and actually all racing tyres are available in different compounds depending on track temperature and race lengths, the softest compound has the most grip but the least durability, hope this answers some of your questions.
Ex-sidecar racer, on tracks in the UK, never did the TT, but my last passenger did. He began as a solo rider, but became part of the statistic at the 2011 TT along with his driver. His two sons are a team, and bought the outfit off the drivers widow, and still race it.
Grooves in tyres are for displacing water and stuff. The more rubber touching the road the more grip.
As an ex British Paratrooper I was use to jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, what next, racing sidecars, the next best thing, I was a passenger for 3 years then a driver, I'm now to old but I still miss the buzz, great reaction
As a former sidecar racer, only at club level, it is the Best Fun Ever. What isn't discussed is the forces the monkey has to contend with especially hanging out left under heavy braking. Momentum wants to throw them forward. Severely.
I've almost done that when I we braked hard coming to a slow rider and at that time I had my arms crossed over each other just coming out of a left hander and setting up to a right hander. The only part of my connection to the bike was my hands holding on to one handle. The rest of me was up in the air thinking I'm about to go over the front and get run over my own bike. 😂
@@dangermouse3619 Glad you survived it and hope you look back with good memories and if you still do it NEVER cross your arms.
I raced solos then sidecars in the 70s. Best fun you can have with your leathers on. Still have a dodgy ankle 50 years later.
My brother used to race sidecars, he did have a bad accident, but once well again carried on racing until he retired from racing.
I raced at the Isle of Man on motorcycles I was asked would I be a passenger during practice because his one was ill. I have never been so scared in my life the driver forgot I was inexperienced and drove like normal I actually hit him on the shoulder to ask him to slow down
This used to be on Saturday lunchtime tv about once a month during the 70's until the late 80's. Kids today are probably surprised by some of the motorsports that are popular in Europe but we had everything for free on tv during that golden age even the 'go in a straight line for a short distance' or 'go round in circles' motorsports that are popular in some parts of the US. Hell, we even had tractor pulling and lawnmower racing on TV for free during that period. :)
What would they think of double decker banger racing, or car&caravan stock cars, or Rolls Royce banger racing?!?!
I watched them all on World of Sport, with Dickie Davies!! 😲
Great reaction, you might like rallying especially Group B 👍🇬🇧
Yessss!!! Group B was totally insane!
@@saevars5199 💯% Group B was just The ultimate of rallying in The 80s 👍
The best thing I've ever seen watching sidecar racing was when a husband and wife team, she was the monkey (aka rider) and missed the handle as they were coming into mos corner at mosport race way. She went tumbling across the track and slid on the grass as he was losing control. He got control at the corner exit, i saw him look to his right then left ,I assume to give the girl shit. Then he saw her across the track and yelling and waving for her to come. SHE GOT UP ,RAN OVER TO THE SIDECAR, PUSH STARTED IT, AND JUMPED ON BOARD. WHAT A WOMAN. p.s. it was the slowest corner of the track, hair pin . Mosport race track Belleville Ontario Canada,
I used to be a Marshall at Brands Hatch race course. Super bikes were exiting, but the side car racing was truly pulsating 😊
Frictional grip is a function of surface area in contact. The more rubber in contact with the road, the better the 'grip'.
Tyre tread is to displace water. In dry conditions, smooth tyres, or 'Slicks' when up to temperature, have far more grip
Not seen this for years, it was occasionally on TV way back when. I've never been into bikes, not for any particular reason just never been interested. The only time I've been on the back of a big bike was when i went out with my mate on his new one. I don't know what size it was but I had to clamber on, he said hold onto me and lean with me otherwise we'll come off ... anyway it was the first and last time for me because we went through london and on the motorway and he just flew. I was crapping my pants, at one point i started shouting that i wanted to stop but he didn't. When we got back i was pretty much in tears and had to lie down to get my sh*t together - ha ha, I was 26 😂😂
A slick tyre has a bigger contact patch as no grooves. The grooves work only in wet conditions so if it rains they change tyres
Silly name for a tyre with lots of grip when you think about it.
Ya'll really need to watch Irish road race road warriors....ITS INSANE 🔥👍
My next door neighbour will be a passenger in a sidecar in the Isle of Man TT this year.
For fun we used to travel at much more moderate speeds on rough farmland and orchards in more upright versions of these in the sixties. Some of them developed into track racers.
Enjoying your videos. Cheers from NZ.
And back on fours wheels we have Tubes of You...CRAZY KART RACE PEEL IOM 1991....think that should find something to "enjoy" ?
I had a mate called Alan Lavercombe that used to passenger for one of the top British sidecar racers of the '60's called Chris Vincent . They used to race a BSA outfit . 🇬🇧
I must say that you guys are pretty cool..............always enjoy your reactions
Thank you so much 😁
Wait till you see cheese rolling 🌞🧀🤩🙌👍
Utterly bonkers 😂
And this year's Isle of Man TT is a must watch!
The slick racing tires impose the most contact with the pavement per unit of surface area of both the pavement and the tire, itself. You want maximum contact for maximum grip, or adhesion is a better and more accurate term. The compound is very soft, very grippy, easily abraded (and therefor eroded or lost). As one racer observed, it's also quite 'sticky'. As for the second man, or the 'monkey' (climbs all over the place), his job is to counter torque forces. The two wheels are gyroscopes, effectively, and when the vehicle changes direction, they want to flop over, the same way a bicycle or motorcycle does by way of the law of physics governing ' conservation of angular momentum'. If you hold a gyroscope level, spinning in front of you like a bicycle tire, axis left and right in front of you, and you turn the gyroscope left or right by swinging the axle, it will want to tip over left or right. Angular momentum. The sidecar racer cannot tip, but it WANTS TO. The monkey keeps his weight inboard on curves to keep the whole contraption from cartwheeling over the walls toward the outside of any curve it is negotiating.
Someone's probably beaten me to it but 'treaded' tyres are designed to shift water and the grooves mean there is a lower contact area of rubber with the road, slicks provide the greatest contact area and hence best grip in the dry
I've tried this as being a monkey or a swinger as they call the passenger and it's the best fun. Nothing beats the feeling hanging out and your ass or hip is just above the ground and sometimes touches. 😉 The feeling of speed that low feels faster. 😎
When I was in my late teens I used to passenger for my cousin.
Remember video A-ha "Take on me"?
There's also sidecar motocross if you want to watch even more crazy people. :)
what still brings me to think about this racing the most is how many teams were husband and wife and how really good some off these were or are, if you wanna go into it just look up like: Steve and Pauline Webster, Rolf and Bernadette Biland, Klaus and Hildegard Enders, Pekka and Kirsi Päivärinta, Mick and Sarah Stace.
I only tried to go somewhat fast with one of my wife’s/girlfriends once on a Fireblade which resulted in some hard blows on my helmet and back and after stopping the announcement: you ever do this again and I will never ride with you EVER again! We were doing about half of what the motorbike was capable off but I learned my lesson never tried that again 😂😂😂
I believe recently a father and son sidecar team perished at the TT races.
The father and son who died in the sidecar racing live just down the road from me in England👍🙏🇬🇧
Respect and R.I.P🙏
Up to the mid 1990 they were a category in the motorcycle championship.
Now they seem to have become less visible.
Madness.
But fascinating in a terrifying kind of way.
They are treadless(Slicks) they are only used on dry roads or tracks, they use treaded tyres in wet conditions!
I'd love to do that
I've heard there's been Husband and Wife teams for this but I'm not certain on that statement.
A lot of them up to world championship level
Hi guys if you have space out side you will need a tape measure, measure 13ft wide mark at 0 and at 13ft half way between is where the middle line is. when you have done this stand back and look at it, that is how wide the road is on the isle of man where the TT takes place every year, and should give more appreciation of what the guys do on motorbikes and side cars, also you should find a video of a car driver who did the fastest lap in a Mitsubishi Evo it is insane the speeds he got up to. hope the first half of this helps. UK Man from North Wales.
my mate Steve English ,UK , family from dad to him his brothers , and sister , did this and still fully in it maybe not racing but behind the scenes , , i been on a back of a motorbike with him , fecking mad as a hatter , but a very lovely guy
You should see how they learn and the mini sidecars it's like grown ups on toys
Recently in the sidecar race on the Isle of man a father and son team both died in a crash at the first lap of a race
the tyres are built that way so that they will get a warm up on a hot day and they will grip more on the asphalt , When it is raining the tyres need to be changed and more grip on the tyres themselves will disperse the water on the asphalt to get the tread to grip the road.
You should find a video with motocross style sidecar racing. Similarly unique technique and design, although they look much more similar to motorcycles.
Racing tyres are mostly slick like that. Just to let you know most racers think TT solo riders are insane, TT solo riders think TT Sidecar racers are insane
My brother and I built and raced a drag bike and sidecar I was the monkey , we were at the start of pushing for the isle of man his girlfriend was the obstacle, so I never made it the trust was never the same.
Side car motocross is fun to
you and your brother could do mini f1 sidecars basically a go cart with 3 wheels and 2 people on it much slower and safer but would be loads of fun
This is the pyramid of 'You are crazy!' in motorcycle racing: Short circuit racers call Road racers crazy, Solo Road racers call Sidecar racers crazy and Sidecar drivers call their Sidecar passengers crazy. But it is surprising how many Sidecar passengers are female, mainly because they are lighter and more supple than male passengers I guess. A Sidecar as practically zero suspension as well so the passenger feels every bump and are usually black and blue at a 3 lap TT race.
You should watch some rally content
My grandfather Francis knights was a sidecar passenger(monkey) with rider Rodger Dixon within the 1950s, and the bike's he raced on were insanely basic, extremely dangerous, he's also done the Isle man TT and raced in Germany. This link will give you a good representation.

Actually sidecar racing is totally different from bike racing. A few riders cross over but not many. 2 and 3 wheeled vehicles have completely different aerodynamics, balance and geometry.
On 2 wheels the rider bike and circuit are at ONE he feels everything and can react by adjusting speed weight distribution and balance.
In a sidecar the passenger is a counterbalance.
The Isle of Man circuit is particularly challenging.
Roads are public roads
No gravel pits run off areas.
They are not banked or race prepared, you can encounter leaves and other debris, shallow water pools, crosswinds especially over the mountain.
I'm going to the Island for 3 days in June I've been a number of times a Great Aunt used to run a guest house in Ramsey and let us sleep in an attic room.
Hi from the UK try TTfastest lap chin camera
None of the crashes in this video were actually that bad, and none fatal! Thrse were just the ordinary bumps and spill type crashes, in most of these, they jumped back up, sorted out sidecar and carried on!😮
You find that lots of drivers have their wives or girlfriends in the chair.
Have a look at the Isle Of Man TT motorcycle race. The most dangerous motor race sport in the world
I was there in 22 i saw the crash 😢 think it was father and son 😢😢😢
Do Americans think Europe/ Britain stopped when the Mayflower Sailed too the New World. Ho and was it New to the people who already Lived there.?
Not at all. What makes you say something like this?
@RNTV Several responses by you mate . Is it a wrong statement. Honestly.
@@user-ze5tu4ck1t I think it's more your perception that is wrong. I don't think that and never made a comment that remotely implied it. Feel free to leave some time stamps to anything that led you to believe that was what I was implying
Check out Driver 61 he explains it so much better
Now try Tubes of You hole of rabbits for ...CRAZY ON BOARD SIDECARS SOUTHERN 100 IOM....not the TT but the Southern 100 ...and withoutb the mum of cat voice over
They go faster than 160mph, but cause of the length of the races the top speed is reduced as an average
If you liked Green Street, watch The Football Factory
So doesn't America have sidecar racing - ? I'm surprised. 😮
Not that I've ever seen, but America is a gigantic place. I'm sure it happens somewhere
In VERY SIMPLE

So less aquaplaning/hydroplaning for the road tyre
They do have tyres for different conditions like most racing
Having raced shifter karts at speeds well in excess of 100mph, I think I can offer some enlightenment on the fear factor. You would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind to not be aware of the dangers to you, your equipment, other competitors, and their equipment so yes, you are absolutely aware of it. Most of us would only briefly consider it as something that might happen to one of the other drivers, not us. Once you get rolling, you really don't have enough time to look around too much. You're too busy focusing on keeping the damn thing on the track.
women do this also
Side-car races exist from the beginning of motorcycle history...
Nothing new and astonishing...
We European are more astonished to see you live more than 100 years without knowing and discovering only now...
In USA you have your own way for motorsporting but the old continent had still some little thing to show.
Isolationism is not only political...
I think I know what you're looking for, stop everything you're doing and try reacting to A&R Sings - If You're Not The One (COVER). enjoy it
How come you two have never heard of the Isle of Mann over 212 riders have been killed here There is a big world that exists beyond your countries borders
I think most people in the world haven't heard of it. Unless you are part of the motorcycle racing culture or happened to be watching TV when something came on about it then you wouldn't have heard about it.
Chubby Brown, check him out, funny man.
shame about the commentary overiding any footage sound. Nothing sounds like a sidcar outfit ripping around and out of corner.
It's a reaction. Focus on the reaction. We've included the original video in our description. Feel free to watch it without our commentary 👍
@@RNTV I didnt mean your commentary, I meant the voice over. The video has no actual sound other than the narration.
Apparently they are starting an UBER service...........NOT !!!
