I have a 1958 racing bicycle, no mods aside from slightly more modern brakes and chain, still give it the beans to a point. No point hanging these machines on walls or sitting in a museum, they were meant to race.
You don't know you don't know what your not knowing . Well maybe now you do, but still, probably no smarter for it. At the end of the day, keeping the rubber side down, that's cool.
This is absolute great stuff... this proves one thing... "The Rider, the Bike and the Conditions", three factors to fail or succeed. Just love the ancient races much much more than the modern one's!!! Goodwood shines again ;-)
Epic riding and epic entertainment!!!! I love that this Barry Sheene MT race was kept going by the race controller for as long as possible in the rain. Barry was The Rain Meister and would have approved!
Even while falling he maintains a tight grasp on the handle bar Edit: apparently he was trying to grab the clutch to prevent the engine from stalling. Absolutely brilliant!
Sometimes better to have a loose bike in the wet. That bike will have many modern components and re-engineered tolerances within it. I owned a 1937 500 Special,wish I`d kept it.
ignore my ignorance pls, this is the first time I've watched this type of racing.. I don't use the word often but i'm willing to make an exception here: i fckn LOVE this on so many levels! ;}
Wow, what a great race! As a long time corner worker, watching these guys throwing it about in the wet is so exciting. And wet racing really shows who's comfortable on the bike.
I absolutely am enjoying this race!!!! Classic bike with Iconic riders! It doesn't get any better and the worry of someone getting killed is not so great. That's the best part.👍👍
Crikey that’s a fantastic race. I honestly cannot watch any road racing now, I still enjoy speedway but any other motorcycle racing I can’t get into. This, though, is awesome! All of the Goodwood racing is just brilliant, no matter the category.
I'm sure their tires are brand new with good tread, warmed to a good temperature, and the track is spotlessly clean and perfectly smooth. If you fall on a race track (like Corser does here), absolutely nothing happens, there's barely any risk. If you have a slide IRL, you get wrapped around a tree, light pole, etc. So don't worry about it, road and track riding are completely different.
djyul isn't that what you guys call a nice summer day in Britain? They are using summer tires. Lol. I wouldn't even have pulled those fossils out of the trailer.
My father handed on the legend of Rudge to me. Telling me stories of his youth with BSA's Norton's and Vincent's. He told me Rudge amalgamated with Whitworth an engineering company and British manufacturer. Whitworth established the standard BSB or British Standard Whitworth. I still have some Whitworth spanners in my tool chest. Reminds me of Rudge when I come across them.
Um espectáculo extraordinário! Estas motos são obras de arte e os pilotos eram aventureiros destemidos! Desde criança que adoro estas máquinas e respectivos pilotos! Obrigado!
Class act by Goodwood and all the racers involved as usual. I was lucky enough to attend a couple of events there , and let me tell you , between this and any Canadian motorcycle event , there is NO COMPARSON . At Goodwood we saw competitors treating each other with respect and good natured friendship . The races were run in a competent and professional manner . At Canadian events , of which I have attended AND competed in MANY , there exists such a culture of attitude , both arrogant and mean natured , that true enjoyment of the sport is difficult to achieve . As well , Canadian " fans" tend to be the least loyal when it comes to standing by " their " favorite riders when someone has an off day and doesn't make the podium . That in fact suited us fine because if we came in 3 rd or forth place , we didn't have to worry about some " fan " making off with a " souvenir " from our pit area should we win that day. On the weekends we did win , the security ropes came out before the brown nose " fans" would descend on us . My mechanic even had his wallet lifted from his back pocket one day at Shannonville when he was standing too close to our security ropes around our pits. Of coarse being Canada , there were " no " witnesses .
OK, I know the Rudge isn’t THAT much older than the other bikes, and WW II did put a damper on the development of motorcycle technology, but how the hell did it not only keep up with all the other bikes, but pass them too?!?! Just incredible- great riders,and a great race!
Met Mike Farrell on the ferry back from the TT. If you read this you have my admiration and respect for throwing that beautiful Rudge round that soaking track in such a skilled way. Fantastic riding
Hosey on a charge ,would've love to see it finish to see results .Nice guy who races all different from enduro to race circuits an as good as the best .I first met him when I was 9 and he was bike shop mechanic havin lunch, he heard me asking for a carb and shop would only sell me new one , he said hang on I got a box in the back , routed the right carb out and said go pay a couple a quid .i always think of him highly to bother to help out younger kid to keep them riding
Troy puts it on John at the start ? Then John takes back the lead again from Troy before both riders can make the first lap of racing handle bar to handle in the rain on ventage thunder bikes ? Priceless literally , priceless footage! And for Troy 15 sec. of fame and braging rights running with the big dogs !
Go the Aussies! Troy Corser grew up not all too far from me, and even when he was busy he’d always stop to say hi to someone who wound recognise him Top bloke
What a great race and that old man who almost had it, but made a wrong move. I love cafe motorcycles and seen those bikes I get very excited. I know this is an old video but I was yelling loud, getting all excited, it felt like it happened today. Very good race too bad we didn’t see the very end of this race.
legends on vintage bikes with vintage rules in the rain makes quite amazing racing. note these bikes have the shifter and back brake on the opposite sides. I own a BSA and it's tough to learn.
The best thing that could have happened to me, was taking my first training during two days of insane, cold, April showers. They said "rain or shine" - We didn't see any "shine." By regulations they had to give us the choice to refuse taking the final graduation test, it was raining that hard on the last afternoon. F' that was the collective response.
can ask you guys why motogp bikes need to spin up first before the racing? like i saw some machine where they spin up the tire then go to the race track (im not referring to heating up the tires.)
It looked like McGuinness kinda lost his mojo when he got tapped on the back as he got passed...like he quit racing after that...kind of funny I think.
That was some of the most entertaining racing I've watched in long while
Could not turn it off.
I'll never forget seeing this live. It was frightening and excitement at the same time!
Wow
Watching this with my father in law talking about his days hounding corners of a 500cc triumph... this racing is special
Spoke to the Rudge owner today at Oulton Park (where it went well against much more modern tackle),he told us to watch this race...brilliant win :)
These bikes are museum pieces but they’re still going for it, proper racing, great to watch. Awesome riding.
Respect to bike owners for telling 'em to race it hard - balls out!
I have a 1958 racing bicycle, no mods aside from slightly more modern brakes and chain, still give it the beans to a point. No point hanging these machines on walls or sitting in a museum, they were meant to race.
@@ynotnilknarf39 kudos to you man ! may i know what kind of bikes you own ?
A 1933 Rudge going that well. Absolutely unreal. Good wood always has amazing racing.
You might think you look cool on your motorcycle, but you're not Dragging knee, in the rain, while riding a museum piece cool, that's for sure.
You don't know you don't know what your not knowing .
Well maybe now you do, but still, probably no smarter for it. At the end of the day, keeping the rubber side down, that's cool.
Most of the field knew this!
You think that you look cool posting bullshit on YT but you're not. Because you don't know about modern wet-weather tires.
Far from 'dragging knee' sir.
Ni!
This is why us old guys like nostalgia.
This is absolute great stuff... this proves one thing... "The Rider, the Bike and the Conditions", three factors to fail or succeed. Just love the ancient races much much more than the modern one's!!! Goodwood shines again ;-)
My '70 BSA Royal star was the best transport year-round for eight years in sun and rain driving to work in Vancouver. Love these old dears.
As Kenny Roberts said about racing in the rain...It's still a race, it's just raining.
Epic riding and epic entertainment!!!!
I love that this Barry Sheene MT race was kept going by the race controller for as long as possible in the rain. Barry was The Rain Meister and would have approved!
Even while falling he maintains a tight grasp on the handle bar

True badassery
Not just Brilliant gust out of this world too
Normal
Charlie Williams and Mike Farrell beat the lot on a 1933 TT Rudge, heroic, splendid, superb!
Sometimes better to have a loose bike in the wet.
That bike will have many modern components and re-engineered tolerances within it.
I owned a 1937 500 Special,wish I`d kept it.
It's fascinating seeing these old bikes ridden with modern techniques.
ignore my ignorance pls, this is the first time I've watched this type of racing.. I don't use the word often but i'm willing to make an exception here: i fckn LOVE this on so many levels! ;}
Check out dirt track, and ice racing if you haven’t seen them.
All the stuff in this channel is amazing
I love your enthusiasim and the racing is wicked ! Man! "Two stroke, no joke!" Great racing# Two thumbs up👍👍
Wow, what a great race! As a long time corner worker, watching these guys throwing it about in the wet is so exciting. And wet racing really shows who's comfortable on the bike.
These guys are nuts! This is so awesome!! 😂😂.
How could anyone give this a dislike?
I absolutely am enjoying this race!!!! Classic bike with Iconic riders! It doesn't get any better and the worry of someone getting killed is not so great. That's the best part.👍👍
Charlie Williams, balls of solid brass on that Rudge.
Brilliant pilots on brilliant bikes!!!
Could watch this over modern gp anyday real competition of skill
Crikey that’s a fantastic race. I honestly cannot watch any road racing now, I still enjoy speedway but any other motorcycle racing I can’t get into. This, though, is awesome! All of the Goodwood racing is just brilliant, no matter the category.
these guys lean on water, riding ancient bikes, more than i do on a modern bike on dry roads.. brb, setting myself on fire.
bike or rider limitation?
Rider, absolutely certain.
I'm sure their tires are brand new with good tread, warmed to a good temperature, and the track is spotlessly clean and perfectly smooth.
If you fall on a race track (like Corser does here), absolutely nothing happens, there's barely any risk. If you have a slide IRL, you get wrapped around a tree, light pole, etc.
So don't worry about it, road and track riding are completely different.
The Small Tires are also quite good in the Wet, where larger ones tend to Float .
Shame that the BMW fell so early though.
@@MyFabian94 So early? It fell into a lake lol
British Riders ! British bikes ! Wet weather riding specialists at their best!!!
Brilliant!
And some German bikes too.
Except Troy Corser who is an Australian.
well this is probably the most embarrassing thing i will read today
There are more than British there you troglodyte.
djyul isn't that what you guys call a nice summer day in Britain? They are using summer tires. Lol. I wouldn't even have pulled those fossils out of the trailer.
Imagine the race this would have been if Troy had stayed on! All kudos to the Rudge though, absolutely amazing!!
The Rudge was loving the wet conditions, I feel these old bikes have a soul and where re living old memories of days gone by : ) great fun to watch.
My father handed on the legend of Rudge to me. Telling me stories of his youth with BSA's Norton's and Vincent's. He told me Rudge amalgamated with Whitworth an engineering company and British manufacturer. Whitworth established the standard BSB or British Standard Whitworth.

gotto love watch these old girls getting used the way they were intended
This is just brilliant! I love how these guys go to the limit on their vintage bikes.
This incredible to watch! Great bikes, great skill!
Watching In California.. cheers!!
I love these memorial races!
Um espectáculo extraordinário! Estas motos são obras de arte e os pilotos eram aventureiros destemidos! Desde criança que adoro estas máquinas e respectivos pilotos! Obrigado!
Surprisingly I knew so many names in this race..
Brilliant! Some very good bikes there....thanks.

This race is too much fun! Love it.
Seeing this makes me feel inspired to get my '77RS out of the shed.

Methanol probably helped... but what a ride! What a pair of riders!! Excellent stuff. Les in UK
This is fascinating. In terms of entertainment this blows NASCAR away.
yet more culture we dont have according to some
Most enjoyable indeed, great stuff!
Wow! Fantastic racing, what a joy to watch.

3:03 right side you can see oil leaking from valve covers. That's Gunna cost alot to repair.
Xbox needs help
Nah, it’s BMW. They got like 90 years of spare parts lying on the shelves with spare numbers to match.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 yh but not that model and year. The guys at Goodwood try and keep it 100%
Easily fixed.
They just have to call up Ural, they will have the parts.
4:02
absolutely amazing
Corser needed a jetski
Troy puts it on John at the start ? Then John takes back the lead again from Troy before both riders can make the first lap of racing handle bar to handle in the rain on ventage thunder bikes ? Priceless literally , priceless footage! And for Troy 15 sec. of fame and braging rights running with the big dogs !
Cal Crutchlow's dad is out there?! Awesome.
That was brilliant racing!
We were there, just by Lavant. It looks good on TH-cam, but incredible in real life.
It's such a shame it ended that way with so many great riders involved,they must have been really pissed off,all the same,so entertaining by these men
The youngest ladies there are about 60 yrs old and they're going full beans. How not to love Goodwood.
What a race!
Go the Aussies! Troy Corser grew up not all too far from me, and even when he was busy he’d always stop to say hi to someone who wound recognise him

Have a 1972 sportster XLCH set up like that. It is a diffrent world.

That beemer got some punch against 25 years newer bikes. wow. btw gotta love the Norton
I love the racing of old bikes, the cars are great too.
This is why I love motorcycles.
In the rain, killing it! Great riding! Especially on those old slow ass English bikes, well done!
Just watching this and it reminds me why i got into bikes,fun!,so much better than todays overpaid GP stars.
I concur completely!
lol very ignorance
Ah I remember this I watch this last year at my home in 2020 it was a crazy race
Epic race :-)
Watching this made me realize how much F1 sucks.
Everything about modern day F1 sucks .
Watch it on dirt, absolutely braindead.
LOL, and how shit a rider i am
How many times have you made that comment and in how many video's?
Check out motorcycle ice racing
This is how all Motorsports racing should be,rain,shine ,snow,18to80,blind dumb crippled or crazy!
I know it's a Barry Sheene memorial race, but I still wish he could have been there racing.
Wow ... look at that Rudge. It's a winner
We've NEVER heard of the "
Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy" in Hull,UK in Corona virus lockdown period in 2020!!..... :)
crash at 3:50...
Steve Brogan, huh? That name's got a nice ring to it.
With the given suspension, brakes and tires there doing very respectable lap times!
SuperNice that TH-cam suggests this video! I love it!
Could somebody tell me the difference between the white and yellow numbers? Pre and Post WW2?
Amazing how these guys can make those Old bike's go faster than an average riders could go on New bikes
Number 5 helmet looks like Shinya Nakano's helmet, with those huge eyes
You’d think there would be more crashing. I like that they don’t crash these beautiful old bikes.
I want to know what tires (tyres for my friends in the UK) they are running.
Rudge was a great maker would love to see a Scott flying Squirrel in the crowd .
Came for Corser! That's too bad.
Love classic racing
Ian Duffus was on a Norton Twin not a Vincent.
Wow. I can smell the castor oil from 55 years ago.
Sorry, but at 11.30 that’s not a Vincent Grey Flash, more like a Norton twin.
Does anyone remember the music video "Take on Me" ?
Here comes the mechanics to ruin the day!!!!
Steven Leslie Ah ha, Swedish I think.
@@exb.r.buckeyeman845 that's what these bikes a clothing reminded me of....
Troy was unbelievable all weekend!!
They told us the tyres will pump the water away. So off we went
I'd be so afraid of hurting the bike more than I would worry about getting hurt myself. I'm sure those guys probably felt the same way.
A LOVE YOU BARRY TU ME MANQUE COURSE SPECTACULAIRE
can ask you guys why motogp bikes need to spin up first before the racing? like i saw some machine where they spin up the tire then go to the race track
(im not referring to heating up the tires.)
They don't. Maybe your refer to the external starter that's used to spin the rear wheel to start the bike.
That was awesome.
is this the bike that captain america used during the war?
NUmber 1 and 7 were the lead at the beginning. Oh what a coincidence.
It looked like McGuinness kinda lost his mojo when he got tapped on the back as he got passed...like he quit racing after that...kind of funny I think.
That's just racing, always vying for the top spot and leaving other's in their dust.
INCREÍBLE!!!
