Hey Bruce, personal favor if you would... Can you stop giving me things to add to my bucket list? Appreciate it!
Ha Ha, sorry Doug 😬🤣👍
Lol, was thinking the exact thing. Mr Teapot took my “but it’s a gixxer” excuse years ago, and it’s only getting worse 😂
Mate, dont make the IOM a bucket list item, it should be a must do!!
As a slower rider,I love this lap at slightly more regular speeds. I was over for the Manx Grand Prix in August, on my KTM Duke 390, and had a whale of a time riding the course, and marshalling some of the great riders on the best course in the world. I’m back for the Manx in 2023, I can’t wait!
The combination of legal speed limits, Innov K5 and your calm commentary makes this the best TT lap I have ever seen. The wide angle shows the beauty of the island and treacherousness of the course. All other laps I’ve seen are someone on ITV going full throttle all the way round……and as we know, when you hit 160mph plus tunnel vision and motion blur come in, not to mention 100% concentration. So this has probably done a lot for the IoM tourism outside of the TT. I know you’ve convinced me to go off peak with the missus. I can’t be arsed with the suicidal Dunlopesque maniacs or VR wannabes who, knowing my luck will cause a mishap for me.
I should’ve gone a long time ago since my mum, dad and 3 older brothers went there before I was born, probably 1960/61. Would yiu believe my dad took them to watch the T.T. yet he was paralysed down his left side from age 19, and never rode a bike. Somewhere in my mum’s is a ViewMaster 3D photo reel of Douglas (if you’re “of an age” you’ll know what I mean) which i used to look at when I was little. My dad told me about the Tourist Trophy, so I knew from a young age what “T.T.” stood for! Yet, Mr Teapot, it was you who will take the credit for getting me over there, probably just after Easter 2023 when I gave a lull in my work before the onslaught! Thank you for the inspiration.
Alberto that is a fantastic message to read, and I’m chuffed that you’re going to make the trip over and see for yourself. It’s a lovely wee island that lives and breathes bikes.
What more could you want! 😉👍
@@teapotone Thanks Bruce, your lap was inspirational, and it did show what the riders risk. A couple of crash pads at 140mph won’t do anything for the lamp post or a rider! I don’t do camping, but i will do hotels and I’ve decided I will send luggage on to the hotel so the missus’ belongings don’t have us wheelieing round the circuit.
Keep up the good work!
What a great idea. A complete lap of the course, at a speed allowing comprehension and a map to follow the route. Well done Bruce.
Quality, god only knows how they ride it in that time/ speed and wind, hats off to them all, balls of steel. 🏍👍
Way back when I was a child, I used to go up to St Bees lighthouse as on some days I could hear the racers screaming over the TT course. Fast forwards to the late 90's & I took the family across on the historic cruise ship Balmoral(it used to do day-trips from Whitehaven)& the first thing I did on arrival was grab a taxi to travel the course. I now want to go to the TT on my bike, & have a ride about the island but finances lately mean it'll probably never happen(that & my health will also mean I won't get there) If I ever win the lottery without buying a ticket, that's my first mission....fill the bike, book a ferry ticket & away I'll go.
I visited the IoM in August 2022. On a SYM Crox 125. Loved every minute of exploring the Island. On my Brand New Bike. Perfect for me. And it can shift. Hit 74mph along one of the clear straight Roads.
My wife and I visited in 2018 only for 4 days of ten TT from Australia Loved the island and the people from around the world
Trying to get back agin
Great Vid again Bruce. Appreciated what you said on the podcast regarding Chrissy Rouse.what a legend despite his years.
Cheers Paul, I’m still struggling with that one, can’t believe he’s gone, such a nice bloke
I expect you'll have fun over here on the 125s. Outside of TT there's much less traffic and the temporary speed restrictions have been lifted. There's lots of nice scenic back roads that are really enjoyable on a little 125.
Great vid Bruce. Love it. For some reason your Chanel has drop off my radar you tube that is when I go watch something. But I have been listening to all your podcasts. Keep up the good work. Love that exhaust
Thanks John,
That’s weird, I wonder why? Glad you’re enjoying the podcast channel too 👍
many years ago,a bloke with his daughter on pillion went over the mountain,very quick,i think he was a copper,very good lines very smooth ride.
on a bwm gs 1100/1150 .
I'm glad got to experience the TT when it wasn't as sanitised. Loved being able to ride cronk y voddy and quarry bends at more than 50mph. You would really have loved it back then Bruce. But even with all the changes, it wouldnt ever stop me from going. Just love the place. It's brilliant heading over for bike holidays outside of racing. Loved seeing your videos from this year. ❤️
Thanks bud, aye I bet it was incredible before the restrictions came in 👍
Half way up ballahuchin and ballagary I have been lucky enough to watch at, as a Manx man it is and amazing event and I love people doing videos of Track tours.
👍
Thanks Bruce a bit slower lap than Petes on board but nonetheless still enjoyable to watch. Go out at 5am and you can get a complete lap in ( Governors Dip )
Nice Video ...worked on the IOM 6years 2004-2010 and loved the TT ...roads R crazy... and I can say that I was always happy for little bit of sun shine 😁🌈... there were races where we did get all 2-weeks sun and afte the TT finished the sun went as well...now I have got my own bike and hopefully next year I will be visiting IOM...
First full lap of the course by bike (personal bike) with a fully informed piece by piece layout that I have watched bringing in what the TT is all about with your gravy smooth commentary well done again on that delivery that serves all! Great job again Bruce after a long long trip. Love the channel, more tours and get togethers as I would love to get over to one 👌
Cheers Mark, that’s great to hear - chuffed you’ve enjoyed the vids 👍
Thanks Bruce .The TT is the greatest holiday experience I've ever been to they say you come here once Then spend the rest of your life trying to get back here (how true that is) Don't leave it to late . Cheers stay safe and well Johnny gadget Melbourne Australia 👍
Thanks Johnny 👍
I think this is the first time I've seen so much from the Isle of Man and especially the TT course and it's surroundings, thank you for that. It seems to be a beautiful place to visit. This also gives a whole different view on the speeds they race.
Cheers Thomas,
Yes it is just incredible that they can ride this course at the speeds they do, FULL respect to them for that.
Glad you enjoyed it bud 👍
Christ I'd love to do that IoM. Wonderful stuff. There is a video on TH-cam about a proposed ban on the race way back when. Phil Read, the MV Agusta rider who died in October , made public claims asserting his doubts about the safety of the race. He was parked at a service staion in his private car, and a copper approached him and said, " you better get out of here, Mr Read, I can't guarantee your safety.🤣
Thankfully, the race continues. As one racer said, the throttle goes both ways
Just want you to know Bruce that you are the inspiration for me trying for my full license in the new year. Thanks for everything!
Mega! That’s awesome to hear Phil and I wish you the best, sure you’ll do just fine 👍👏
Great video Bruce, really great to watch the lap at a slower speed. I went to watch with my son back in 2018 and really enjoyed it, an amazing experience. In your video you mentioned the traffic lights at the Creg and my claim to fame is that I programmed them, although in the trade we call them traffic signals 🙂
Finally going to TT next June can't wait. Great video thanks Bruce.
Nice one Dave, enjoy the TT bud 👍
Very useful vid Bruce. Lots of info for the IoM novice, at a speed where you can get a handle on the terrain, and the map is particularly cool. 👍
Cheers bud 👍
Nice one, Looking forward to April even more :)
Thanks mate, aye the Clan meet is going to be awesome eh 😉👍
The tractor sounding superb 👌
Great video, brought back memories of my last visit to the IOM TT (1983)
I’ll have to agree with Doug Stewart. Another bucket list trip my friend. Great vid brother, loved it!
Nice one Bob, glad you enjoyed it.
Make sure you do it one day 😉👍
The end of cronky is a great view point. Big field with coffee and burgers available. Fast right at the end right opposite us. Got some good shots of MC pint coming past rather fast!!
Fantastic coverage 👍🏽
Cheers Matthew 👍
I live on the Isle of man, and love the channel mate! getting my CBT this month and gonna start my jounrney on a 125cc Hope to see u maybe for TT 2023!!!
Fantastic! Thanks bud, glad you’re enjoying the content and are joining the biking family 👏👍
you get that cbt?
Excellent vid Bruce, it's one of those that I'll be watching again and again.
Thanks John 👍
This is a well done video. Thanks for taking us around.
No bother at all Louis, glad you liked it 👍
Cronk-y-voddy used to be unrestricted....I remember chasing a bike cop through there at the ton+. Heh. Thanks. Great.
Ah'm lovin "hurl" big man wher ye fae ? Ah've hud some hurls and no aw eh them huv been oan bikes. 😉Kidding aside, Glasgow > Heysham >Douglas = Nirvana. A simple equation. Thanks for yer precious time and memories. 👍
No bother, I’m from up near Peterhead/Fraserburgh originally, a wee village called Mintlaw. Then lived in Glasgow for about 6yrs before moving down south
@@teapotone 👍
Excellent, loved this series. ✊
Thanks man👍
Great vid Bruce ! brought back some good memories for me personally from my time over there for this years TT. Keep up the good work pal 👍
Cheers bud
I vote for a full grid of GS’s and a mass start. Imagine the noise.
Ha Ha THAT would be MINT!
Excellent 👌 love dom he’s always giggling 🤭
Thanks Mya, aye he’s a great lad 👍
Brilliant video really enjoyed it 👍
Cheers Kojak 👏👍
we do full day racing back to peel for a few pints then takeaway and back to the house for highlights . camping lost its appeal in 2019😂 horrendous
we were at gorse lea on the wall as well. thanks for your great channel👍
Ha Ha yeah I’d much rather be in a house or hotel, but the wallet dictates a tent! 🤣👍
Awesome wee hurl mate, really enjoyed that👍
Nice one, thanks Rab 👍
Love the sound of that GS , thanks for sharing your TT series .
My pleasure 👍
Lovely job mate,that was entertaining to see the course at normal speeds!
Thanks Dan 👍
Great video Bruce! That takes me back. Not been to the island for way too long.
Re the Nürburgring comments and 'boy racers' etc. I went with 4 mates (4 bikes, 1 car) to the Ring and in the two days we were there, it was closed 6 times for accidents!
One Honda Blackbird came back on a truck in two halves! (and a Volvo 240 Wagon that had rolled) I did 4 laps and that was enough for me!
I first went to the IOM on a family holiday in the 70's but it was in August-ish.
👍🏍
Aye me too, I’ve been to the ring once and done 2 laps - it was closed just as I did he’d the first lap, and 4hrs later we got another lap in before it was closed again😬🤦♂️
Still worth doing it though in my book 👍
Excellent video really enjoyed that, thank you Bruce.👍👍
My pleasure Eric, cheers 👍
Well done Bruce, i enjoyed that. A short story for you. I was talking to Dean Harrison after the senior TT and most of the pigeon he hit, ended up in his right boot. His team sponsor (DAO) took it out for him!
Really!!! 🤢
Dean must’ve been in tatters after that race, his neck and shoulders would be in bits!
Loved it Bruce, thank you 😊
No bother Lyndsey, glad you enjoyed it
Great commentary riding around the course there Bruce, makes for a different video especially for the likes of myself who haven’t been there yet.
Like you said this year was not a good year in regards to the loss of lives, but agin like you stated it’s a choice the riders make and agree this event should never be banned.
Once again thanks for a great watch and try and get some R&R in mate 👍
Cheers bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hope too be going next year, great to see you going around the course trying to see where I would like to watch..soooo many 😀
Nice one Andrew, glad it’s been of some use for you 👍
Fantastic video mate, as an Aussie I have to do this on my bucket list!!!
Cheers bud, the TT is something special, we’ll worth a visit at least once 👍
Great vid sir, I am not overly into it, but that was ace.
Cheers Noel
Great video, really enjoyed it
Thanks Andrew 👍
Thanks for the tour round, incrediable at TT speed.
Just incomprehensible they do it with an AVERAGE speed of over 135mph these days?! 🤣🤦♂️👏
Finally got there this year Bruce and watched the senior at the Cregg. Amazed at how many still on the island for a few days afterwards. Amazing place and maybe back this year if things go well. Like most people though, it’s a tough time on the finances.
Aye it’s an expensive trip for the TT isn’t it
Bruce, I don't know if you have but Ramsey is a great place to stay. The Football Stadium turns into a camping ground and it's fantastic. There is a bar that's open all night (so if your tent fails you can kip in there and it's heated) and you're a 2 minute walk from Ramsey Square to watch all the action. The bar even does breakfast in the morning like a cafe, although there are loads of cafes and bars about the place and you're also not locked to one place when the racing starts. It's where we go when we go over and it's always been brilliant.
Nice one Craig, cheers for that. No I haven’t stayed in Ramsey yet, sounds a good place 👍
Went this year Bruce already booked for next year very special place, great vid 👍👍👍
Thanks bud 👍
Definitely on the bucket list, just have to get rid of the L plates and take it easy round the course! New sub, love the content!
Thanks Mick, welcome to the channel 👍
Thanks for the lap tour! Looks awesome!! Love that GS colorway too is that a 2019?
Cheers Keith, it’s a 2020 👍
Awesome video. Really cool.
Thanks bud 👍
Excellent content. Currently starting my DAS training and aiming for the Isle of Man (not the TT season) next year ❤
Best of luck with you DAS, and welcome to the club 👍
Hi good video once again. The TT has gone the same way on the mountain course since it moved from the St. John’s course in 1911. From being a Manx man myself I don’t think going backwards will ever work. Could be interested if they did.
I was at the Isle of Man late April and even with Virgin Mobile, my phone thought I fell off the face of the earth. Reliant on WiFi.
But it's definitely a trip I'd like to make again.
First time I have seen the course and with a commentary that isn't at 100mph, excellent videos thank you so much. Once I get my 2023 work rota I'm going to book up if I'm off work. P.S this super thanks button do you keep all the £ or do the TH-cam gods take a cut?
Thanks, make sure you do go to the TT at least once 😉
I’m not sure about the ‘Thanks’ thing to be honest. I’ve received a couple so far but they’re just added to the ad revenue for the month so I’ve no idea if any commission is taken from them
Nurburg on groms sounds ace. Keep hounding!
🤣👍
nice one
Always envious watching your adventures Bruce, I've just joined the GSA family, I have a lot of questions to ask relating to mostly travel but also some about the bike, where would the best place be to put a fairly lengthy message to you, there is a good possibility of a subject for a video to help other bikers out in relation to embarking on a very first time travelling to Europe or another country, what are ALL the things you need to have so you don't get caught out and have obstacles in your way, some countries like Spain have rules like if you wear specs you must have 2 pairs, some insist on your bike having winter tyres at all times, always best to know what papers and any other considerations before you decide to go to any place outside of the UK rules.
Hello bud, I didn’t know any of the things you’ve mentioned here and I’ve been riding all over Europe since 2008 - NEVER ever been an issue, never been checked? 🤷♂️
Drop me an email to info@teapotone.com 👍
Hi Bruce it was nice to meet you when you was over on the rock hope you get back over sometime if you do give me a shout
Cheers Jon,
Likewise bud and will do 👍
Great vid and lap 👌🏼. If you was going to the Isle of man when the tt wasn't on. Where would you recommend to stay with bike garage/ shed?
finding a bike garage / shed maybe difficult to find i'd suggest trying an air bnb or something of that nature if you really need a shed/ garage
Hija Bruce. Great Video again. Did I hear you want to do the Nürburg-Ring? That's close to me and totally my riding territory. I'd love to meet up with you along your route. I would be really chuffed if that could happen. Cheers Joe
Hi Joe,
Yes absolutely! I’ve done a couple of laps way back in about 2011 on my Gixxer, but never been back since.
Would be awesome to meet up👍
Another great video thank you, How are you getting on with your electronic air bag vest ? i'm debating weather to get a electronic or tethered.
Cheers John,
Well I’ve not crashed (yet) so can’t tell you how it performs for ‘real’, but as a day to day piece of kit there are no issues.
A full charge can last as much as 4 days riding, I’ve worn it in hours of torrential rain with no issues to the electrics, and it is pretty much of no concern to wear.
Negatives would be it restricts a fair amount of airflow to your upper body so in hot weather it is warm to wear.
I always wear a rucksack when riding so have to wear that over the top of the vest, BUT this doesn’t effect the performance of the vest providing you wear the rucksack loose.
My view is that I’d rather have the vest than not. I’ve had enough messages from people whose life has either been saved by the vest, or they’ve been prevented serious spinal injuries 🤷♂️👍
@@teapotone thanks very much for taking the time to give me such a detailed answer, was really helpful 😊
Sure it's green along the route it must rain buckets there .
Great video, it brought back some memories of my visit in 2017, I went after the TT and before the S100 so the island was fairly quiet. Loved the place and definitely need to go back when there's some racing on 👍
Thanks Steve 👍
pro tip from a tt marshal if you go to sure the phone shop and buy a pay and go sim card , also some mobile companies charge international for calls back to the uk.
they do a basic phone and sim deal for like £20 with data included also helps keep an eye on costs for phoning home or data roaming.
the phone is also works with uk sims so i keep my basic tt phone either in my jacket or in one of the cubby holes on bike or top box incase of emergencies and my smart phone is dead or something
Nice one, cheers for that info bud 👍
@@teapotone no problem bud because the isle of man isnt part of the EU and is a crown dependancy of the uk the uk/ EU roaming on contract phones don't cover the isle of man you usually do get a text whilst on the boat saying this but even going to corner shop and buying a sim and
a fiver top up can save you lots of money depending on your network /contract ive been going to TT since 2009 and seen / heard so many stories of people getting hit with big bills when they get home because they thought there uk /eu sim contract covered the island and it doesn't
hopefully this isnt on just one comment on one video and you can spread the word out to your subscribers to stop them facing big bills when they get home from the isle of man
When are you doing the Iron butt on a Grom 🤣
Really enjoy riding with you 👍
How you did the map thing I have something on my Garmin Virb but doesn't look like yours...
Thanks,
The map is just something I did in edit - it’s a map of the course, overlaid by another identical map with colour effect and mask. Then I keyframe animated the mask to reveal the coloured map in time with my progress along the course, animated the red dot via keyframes also.
19:17 - > THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Bray hill cause it’s a hill, people don’t realise how steep it is, first time I went down it I thought, fek me 😜
Echo that, can’t believe the bumps on the run up to Ramsey, crazy, need a new set of teeth 😂
Bruce, if Vegas and Fish won’t go to the Nürburgring with you, I have a brand new Grom and would be more than happy to join you 😉😁
Ha Ha sounds like a plan! 👏👍
I note you seem to be sporting an air vest of some flavor. I couldn't find anything about it in your video list. What sort is it and what do you have to say about it (or them in general)?
Hi Ray, yeah it’s a Helite Air Vest, one of their ‘E’ series - so you’re not tethered to the bike, it works off G-sensors to detect sudden movement.
I’ve not done a vid on it yet as I like to properly use a product before I review it. Been wearing this since around Spring so will look at early next year for a vid.
It’s a wee bit of extra faff - in terms of remembering to charge it every 3-4 days of use, and another bit of kit to put on, BUT I know from friends who’ve been wearing one when they’ve had an accident that it’s saved at least one of their lives and prevented probable paralysis in another.
I feel very ‘on offer’ now if I ever don’t wear it for some reason.
They’re expensive - but I’d certainly recommend them👍
Lands End to John O'Groats is just another day in the office for you by now 😂
Ha Ha aye I can just put the bike on auto-pilot now! 👍
I don’t mind paying for a Like from the big fella.
Mate THANK YOU very much for that, really do appreciate that 👍👏
also just to say the sim alive for years so you can buy a pay as you go phone and a sim or just a sim one year then use that sim year on year just topping it up
I notice you wear a Helite Adventure Jacket. Do you find it suitable in hot weather, like 32 degrees Celsius and higher? What pants do you pair with it? Thank you.
It is hot for sure, it does inhibit airflow, there’s no getting away from that.
I usually wear my Rukka suit, which is warm anyway, and have worn this combo to over 40 degrees Celsius so far. It is hot, but not unbearable.
@@teapotone Which model of Rukka Suit do you wear? Thank you.
I bought the Nivala suit
Are you going to the iomtt 2023? I am 😂
Sadly not, I’m away on a tour that last weekend of the TT
Every time I go down bray hill the lights are at red 🤦🤦😬
Ha Ha you know I don’t think I’ve ever got a green either! 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤣
put it on fast forward and you just did a 15min lap 😁while commenting...... must be some kind of record
Ha Ha, now THAT would be worth watching! 🤣👍
Bruce looking through your older posts. Why the standard GS over the GSA given your manly stature 😅
Seriously interested to know.
The GSA is just a fat GS - it’s the same engine just 30’odd KG heavier, and therefor slower.
I prefer the agility and performance of the standard GS👍
How were the girls who struck the bike?
?
The foreign motorcyclists are still riding around it like its a racetrack like idiots. Im pretty sure the local police has caught alot of these bikers coming over just to race it.
And THAT is why the TT should be banned.
Those speeds on those roads.
Insane.
.
Nope, fantastic
@@teapotone Fantastically nuts.
How many injured or killed Bikers does that stupidity encourage ?
If it was only ONE, that would be too many.
Look at the Reality of Racing.
If you come off on a Track, you might slide along on your Kevlar-plated arse, and USE those expensive Loonie Leathers, (ready designed for crashing !), before hitting a Hay Bale.
If you come off at the TT, you are likely to have your HEAD fly through some Woman's front room window, (after her Garden Wall !!), and your leathers will be a handy liquid blood-containing bag for the REST of you.
I DON'T CARE if Loonies edit themselves out of the Gene Pool, the World is a better place for it, but I am a BIKER, First to Last, and one day a Bike will do what a Magnesium Mercedes once did, it will fly into a Crowd.
Won't THAT be fantastic !!!
.
In the immortal words of Greta - How Dare You!
How dare you dictate what anyone else does with their own body.
How dare you dictate whether people can make their own choice to do something or not.
How dare you dictate whether someone can make the choice to go and watch this racing.
Everyone who races knows the risks, and they make the decision to do it.
Everyone who goes to watch the racing accepts there is a risk that these bikes and riders may come into contact with them if they are located anywhere around the track.
Everyone who buys a house on the TT circuit is aware of the TT and the risks to their property from it.
I bet you are one of these people who would buy a house near a circuit, then complain about the noise!
Life is about living, life is about being alive.
Some people choose to minimise any risk to themselves as much as possible, and others needs to take ultimate risk in order to feel alive.
Each to their own, nobody should force their own beliefs on anyone else, whatever they are.
@@teapotone
Oh how I Laughed !
THAT WAS BRILLIANT !!
I KNEW you could do better !!!
3/10 for the 'Daring' Gumph.
1/10 for saying that I tell People what to do with their OWN body.
I didn't.
7/10 for bursting into flames, (Like that Merc and that future Bike will do), because you KNOW that I am right.
EVERY OTHER RACE TRACK IN THE WORLD keeps its Spectators well away from the often flying machines.
The ONLY other exception is Rallying, and that has been tightened up for the same reason.
I DARE because I am an Adult Biker who came off his Bike more than once, and walked away every time with only a skinned arse, bruised ego and bashed Bike, (which I had more concern for !).
Till the Big One.
A few months in Hospital DEFINITELY tells you that you are ALIVE, and teaches one that they are NOT Barry Sheen OR Eddie Kidd.
No, One is MUCH smarter !
One LEARNS.
I have not been on my Bike for a few years because of NBRI*, but I check them out every night.
(Non Bike Related Illness.)
As you sound like Fun, why not further emulate that Actress you look like, Mae West, or was it Fannie Howe ?, ( a question that I have often asked myself !), and if you are ever near sunny Goole, why not "Come up and see me sometime" ?
We could have a chinwag, a cuppa and I could put you right on Biking !
And have a LAUGH.
Overall, 11/10.
Get a Vespa.

How come you’ve deleted your previous comment?
LOL, can`t get more sasanach than the south of england Bruce, nuff said. Nice one for the cancer research run, i`v got lung cancer and copd.
Cheers Kevin,
The charity Lands End to JoG vid will likely be in the New Year I think 👍
@@teapotone look forward to watching you put yourself through it, again. 😀
Fit like en 😂. Are you from Aberdeen or shire?
Aye I’m from Mintlaw originally, moved down to London about 20 years ago sadly
