      So they go on the most dangerous race on earth, where every year someone dies. Then this organization convinced these people to roll the dice on their lives,( someone will die) and convinced them that it isn't about the money?
      What more risk is there, sitting on top of an engine going 150mph and having the corners padded with trees and cottages?
      This is a wild statement and the fact that so many people agree with this is maddening.

    When Achille's helper said, "I'd be afraid to fight a man like that," Achilles replied, "That's why no one will remember your name." The Isle of Man TT is the same. The absolute best of the best come here. They know full-well the dangers. They get on their bikes and race regardless of the danger. They have achieved a greatness that few will ever know. Im in awe every time I watch these guys race here at ungodly speeds.

    This time of year TH-cam does a good job of barfing up plenty of TT media. I generally click way more than the productivity of an adult should allow, but i really dont usually watch them all the way through. And I dont back them up to make sure I heard that bit correctly. And I almost never watch them twice. And whatever is left over from that list might get forwarded to those old pals I rode motos w/ so many years ago.
    Great video. Very worth the time. Duly forwarded to those I laughed so much with lifetimes ago.

    18 mins plus of just about the best description of what the TT is all about, very well done sir. One correction you may want to make, it was cancelled one year in the 1980s (can't remember which) to try and prevent Foot and Mouth disease being carried from the mainland and infecting the islands cattle.

    Not a bike rider myself however I’d love to get my license, sadly I’m 37 years old now and it’s probably always going to be a pipe dream. Last couple of years I have followed the TT and last year I watched every race of the day later on in the evening. Being a complete novice i was clueless when it came to understanding the differences between the bike types. After watching your video I’m no longer clueless, very informative and enjoyable to watch, thanks.

      You’re not too old to get your bike licence.
      I didn’t take mine until I was 46 despite living on the Isle of Man and being a TT fan since I was scared out of my wits by the astonishing noise of Agostini blasting through St Ninian’s at 150mph on the open pipe MV 500.
      I’ve since sold my bike to buy a sailing boat, but I did get chance to ride over the one-way mountain rd on my 900 Ninja, hanging on for dear life as the speedo nudged past 150mph along the Mountain Mile! Good times!

      Dr Hinds is a legend, there are a few of his presentations uploaded to other channels which are well worth a watch and I recommend all riders watch them along with taking a first aid course. Us bikers are some of the most vulnerable road users so learning some basic mechanism of injury lingo from those videos can help massively if you ever have to relay details to paramedics should you witness, or are involved in, a crash

      I've watched everything I can find, and what an amazing chap he was. Not a biker myself but his advice is no less fascinating and like you say, wholly applicable to anyone.
      Thanx for the reply, mate and all the best 😊👍🏻

      He was a real hero for sure, but he never worked at the TT, only the Irish road races.
      The TT doesn’t have riding medics following the pack on the first lap, for the simple reason that the TT is a time trial not a mass start race like the Irish races.
      At the TT, there are 8 travelling marshals stationed around the course and if there is an incident, the nearest one will be dispatched to attend the incident to assist marshals on scene and report back to Race Control.
      For example they might advise the Clerk of the Course to order the race to be red flagged, if it’s their opinion that the incident cannot be safely dealt with under waved yellow flags.
      The travelling marshals are all former TT or MGP competitors.
      They are not medical professionals, but they all have advanced first aid training.

    Loved 2 wheels since I could first ride a bike. Got my first motorcycle (Kawi KV-75) when I was in 6th grade, and I've ridden (mostly dirt/dez/MX) ever since. Even did some box stock racing (got the first year GPz550). Raced many forms of dirt/dez. Broken many bones, torn ligaments, turn muscles. I'm 61, and I don't ever see me not having at least one motorcycle (I have 2 now: a KTM EXC 530 and an FJR1300). And, there is 0% chance I'd ever attempt to race this race.

    Ever since I first heard of the IoM TT in high school, I've wanted to go watch it. Absolutely no progress has been done towards it, but one of these years I'll be able to pull the trigger and go do it.
    What a thrill it'd be to drive in it, but god knows I'd be able to kill myself so fast on a bike that fits the race categories on any track let alone the IoM TT lol. But what a joy it is to daydream about it anyway.

    14:02 Spinal fusion surgery... my mother needed that procedure after her vertabrae went Jenga. It is no joke. Nearly 9 hours under anesthesia, pain management was difficult, and she is still healing (18 months on) because bones take their sweet time regrowing and configuring to the titanium hardware.

    I went to the TT in 2014 - from NZ so a bit of a trip - That was the year our Bruce Antsey set a new lap record of 132.04 - i got so drunk that night and didnt pay for any of it - an irishman being so pleased a kiwi did it and not 'some bloody englishman' - had an amazing time and after 40 or so years of imagining myself there - there I was.

    What a video fair play, you've captured a lot of what it feels like.
    Have you ever been/are you going to go?
    Its the first time in 5 yrs (bar the pandemic), i'm not going this year. As I've just moved firms.
    The thing that always struck me was Guy Martin saying "by lap 6 im bored, im thinking about what im going to do next week at work, what jobs ive got on etc" which is just wild to the average person.

    • @iwannatalkabout...
      @iwannatalkabout...  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Even for TT riders Guy was a different breed, its a shame he's never made it to a 1st place but that's the TT I suppose. I've not been in person, I work in the retail and hospitality sectors so the end of May Bank Holiday is always a no for the time off for qualifying and race week is usually out of my budget for travel and accommodation, I'm hoping to get there in 2025 (going to book the time off this year!)

    • @CJONE764
      @CJONE764 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @iwannatalkabout... yeah, he seems content with how he did, which, if true, you can't ask for more, really. Especially as he came through from a couple of REALLY big ones, at both the TT and some NI road races. I met him in '08 when he was on his mtb for a training ride for a big race he had coming up.
      Yeah, you should definitely go 100%. It's truly mind warping the first time you're ever there. Stand at the bottom of Bray Hill, on the inside (in someone's garden 😂), and just shake you're head at A: how fast they are going, B: how close the track is, C: how 'normal' the road surface is (it really is like going out of your front door onto the street and doing 160+).
      Do you ride aswell? I've currently got a GS Adventure & a ZX6R Ninja.

      @iwannatalkabout... did you manage to get over to the IOM? I went over for the Saturday for the senior. Went up to the Bungalow and had a great day. Met some great, like-minded folk, great day of racing, and just loved life.
      I went as a foot passenger, £85 return from Heysham. I've already booked for next year. I'm going Thurs of practise week to Monday of race week.
      Get your deposit paid, and then things will work themselves out. If you constantly think oh I'll do x,y & z first then book you'll never get there.
      If you book it now, that way it's done and you will make it work because that's just what happens.
