The best time to travel round is before breakfast 7:30 or when everybody is having tea/evening meal. The mountain is nearly empty. Set the mirrors wide angle to see both sides of backwards, concentrate on where you are and where your going and anybody around you. Remember its the difference that is the killer.
In this scenario so dangerous riding slow, even on a normal day cars are going quicker than you and that is just using the left lane not both pretending to be doing 150mph+
I'm sorry but you are doing 40-50 in corners and taking up the whole road. Taking the racing line when its not needed. If I come up behind you (being a local rider), I am catching you in the corner at 90mph...Move over. One second no one is behind you, the next they are suddenly there. I appreciate you looking in your mirrors, but it's so dangerous to use the whole road/racing line when doing such slow speeds
I appreciate your comments and I was not on a track day, I was just having fun on my bike, like most of the other people on this part of the course. I was keeping a very close eye on who was behind me when I wasn’t 100% certain of the road. Some parts are slow if you are inexperienced. If someone hit me at a slower speed then it would be their fault. It wasn’t a closed road with experience riders. If you want to ride at an average of 120mph get your name down for the TT next year.
Going too slow, dangerously slow. If you get hit from behind by someone going >90mph, it doesn't really matter who is at fault if the autopsy doctor pulled a ducati headlight from your arsehole.
And this is why I hate most adventure bike riders. Every time over the mountain you know it's the adventure bike riders who are likely to cut the corners without looking in mirrors while going dangerously slow. I get that you did check your mirrors but not often enough. There were bikes who did not want to go past you as they didn't know what you were going to do. Mountain mile you couldn't decide what side of the road to be on, there was no need with the speed you were doing to take racing lines through the corners.
run a second cam on the back of the bike for "style shots" but have an external cable mic on it inside a back box/bag. eliminates wind noise and will actually pick up exhaust pretty well. then have a mic in helmet if needed for voice capture

@andysmotoringantics5305 absolutely hilarious response!

Mad Sunday is the 2nd June...
Felt mad to me 😝
That’s some pretty country!

Thanks for the advice. That’s the plan fingers crossed 👌🏻
Did you put your microphone inside the exhaust😅 making jokes, i know sound is difficult.
Sorry, awful sound. My camera does not like wind. I need a new one 👍🏻
@@andysmotoringantics5305 the little camera/mount did well i thought ! ;-)
Audio bad,,, unwatchable.
I know so bad…..Just turn it down
sorry, but audio is awful.
Totally agree with you, far too much wind noise. New camera needed for sure 👍🏻
