great video, I love to see a passengers view and narration of the TT Lap, I raced sidecars back in the 70s as a passenger and a driver, never raced in the IOM, I'm now almost 80 years old and I still miss it
All I need to know is how do we begin a career being a sidecar copilot? Is there a course? Who do I have to kill? I'll do it for 1 meal a day and a cot under a truck.
Best sidecar narration ever,. Now I've gotta jump on me 36hp tractor and go flat out @ 11mph to the shops before closing time (I'm out of beer). Dammit, I love sidecars.
Incredible video, well done John ! It gives you the stomach churning thrill of side car racing at it's best. I would be scared to even blink if I was the rider! Passing is definitely a big challenge .
Balls made of Unobtainium. These guys (and gals) are either the bravest or insanest people on the planet! And they’re not doing it for the money. Most barely make minimum wage, so to speak. Formula one drivers are paid millions to race safety-focussed cars round slow tracks with huge run-off areas. These lads skim drystone walls at insane speeds, risking life and limb (literally) for the sheer thrill of winning.
John Holden is such a legend...he makes it sound like a walk in the park. nvm that if you dont know every inch of this course you could end up being a statistic in a split second. must be the ultimate adrenaline rush.
Grazie grande Jon lo conosciuto al isola di man nel 2018. , e rivisto nel 2019 persona umile molto signore sportivo e grande competente in tutto oltre a essere veloce un grande pilota in grande uomo davvero molto interessante sentirlo parlare ok ti saluto e ti auguro il meglio sempre un saluto dal Italia ok ciao

Probably the best narration of motor racing lap I have ever seen, bike or car. Very informative.

Nice
Probably the best sidecar video ever, plus a brilliant narration by John Holden

In my Dreams! I wanted to be the passenger when I was a young man. It would have been FUN!

great to view this again thanks John .
Absolutely superb John,
John Holden...TT legend
Tony Baker is a star he helped us out no end 💯👍✊plus Mr Gordon shand true gentlemen where do I stop 💯🙏✊
Stunning! Many thanks for the informed ride.
Forget f1, since the eighties not much more than this has been proper motorsport. The danger is the spice.
Now thats some simple minded opinion
absolutey awesome John, cant wait to have a go !!!!!!!
Side Car TT is the best motor cycle racing i have ever seen.
Great Show, Thank You!!
Freaking awesome! Balls of kevlar this is...
GREAT.I love the sidecars.What more can I say.
if anybody wants to be a sidecar passinger, the que is normally short
f preston they are normally insane i reckon. the solo riders and sidecar riders are a bit different to the norm but passengers are the true nutters.
funny cause I've always fancied it over piloting .... wish I had followed my gut
At 5"4" looks like I'm a natural. \m/.
Ty for this video.
I play on TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge on sidecar, and it's nice to see how to drive correctly. :)
From France !
super narration john you know your stuff IOM
Thanks John. Very useful.
Great lap!
Very great and brave,salute.
all dangerous things are insane, until you know how to do them properly.
wow !!! now i can do it!! hahaha fantastic !!!!
What speeds do they top out on this course?
WoW - that would be intense!
so cool man
great balls of fire !!!!!
Very classy narration . . .
love it
Awesome
Tony did some work on our windle with a r6 in it I'm sure 🤔😁💯💪💪🙏

More effective than a defibrillator :-)
Very brave.
As you guys say..."bat shit crazy!" Gotta win the lottery and get my arse over there!
Fantástico!👍🤜😎☠🇧🇷
If I was the sidecar passenger....I would be scared stiff!
scars me on my chair never mind his. bit of honesty there
'No heroics'...as they take a bend at 260kph. The whole lap is only heroics.
Imagine motogp factory bikes on that track!
Isle of man really scary track. Even I cann't see the track.
....further more...you guys may not know it, but you're all insane!
Carbotanium balls...
Why? No disrespect, but still, why??? "Thrill" just doesn't cut it for me.
Well what does "cut it" for you?
