- Isle of Man TT lap record holder, Peter Hickman, offers his expertise on Michael Mann's Lap of Honour at the 2019 Classic TT. Watch as Hicky critiques Mann's performance on only his second ever closed roads lap of the 37.73-mile Snaefell Mountain Course.
The on board footage is taken with a GoPro Hero 7 Black and a Drift Ghost-S mounted to a 1996 Honda CBR900RR FireBlade, loaned to BikeSocial from the Honda heritage fleet while the firm celebrated its 60th anniversary of racing on the Isle of Man.
Everyone's seen the TT course at full speed so this is a more pedestrian look!

88.3 mph was the same as my first ever sidecar lap in 1993. 👍
Didn't think I could miss football and bike racing (mainly hicky) so much. The day the TT is reannounced for running will be a great day for humanity.
funny xD he won 2022 TT
Dunlop used to drive the circuit at night in a transit van.He slackened the front light holders so the lights where loose and wobbled. That's how he found the smoothest lines ..Clever !
I love Bennett's content, and hicky is a legend.
Thanks! Yes, he’s a great guy and always happy to help. Cheers, Michael
Guys, HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Pretty nice lap, and Hicky is a top lad! Such a nice guy. Hope to visit the IoM TT one day when all the corona stuff is over.
Thanks! It was an incredible experience plus there’s very few places I’d rather be when the sun is shining and there’s no global viruses! Cheers, Michael
Hicky is such a good lad.
Great video. Very smooth lap there, and so interesting to hear Hicky's comments as you went around. I'd been working toward the Manx Grand Prix until they brought in the upper age limit of 45 a few years back. I was gutted, but at least I finally got to go to the TT in 2019 and did some morning laps of the course on a friend's bike. Hopefully I can get an entry to the parade lap in 2022, if all goes well.
Hope you made that happen mate
did you tho?
Love listening to content like this especially with Hicky
I've just started on my first bike and I have to say Bennett's are such a great company.
Great attitude, great content.
Awesome - thanks! John
Great lap well played sir! Hicky a gentleman as ever see use on the IoM 2021!!!!! 🤙👍🤘
Very, very good! Thanks for this
Hey Michael that was mint, really enjoyed that lap every credit top man you've defo earned a pint to celebrate, and Hicky to commentate legend. 👍👍🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
Hicky is a legend, up there with Joey!
He's certainly a brilliant rider and incredibly talented. But I wouldn't put him up there with the Dunlop's.. Not Joey. Potentially Hickman could become the mountain king legend up there with Joey. I'd say John McGuinness is more of a legendary status with 23 TT wins and 47 podiums. Peter Hickman no doubt will become one of Isle of Man's greatest! But he's not there just yet.
Loved it!
Excellent video. Thanks
I’ll may not ever ride in the TT course in a race setting but these videos are so good to watch really enjoy watching
Remember that you made it round in one piece and you made some memories thats what matters. Leave the fastest laps to the guys who know what they are doing. Nice lap footage.
Thank you! It’s certainly one of my most treasured memories. I was only back on the IoM last week for a tyre test and am still reminiscing about riding a closed lap.
Cheers, Michael
Fab. That was my exact bike …same model. Could be a bit twitchy with that 16 inch wheel so that was a good lap first time out. My first time was on a gen 1 big valve Aprilia rsv Mille which was similar power but loads more torque. It could have been made for the island. The most memorable ride of my life from Glenhellen to Ramsey then over the mountain. Veranda should be taken as one corner with 3 kinks and I seem to remember it was the same for 33rd milestone. Awesome experience. Catching slower riders can be dodgy as you identified because you just don’t know which way they’ll go. Thanks for uploading. Brought back fond memories.❤
Nice bloke Hickey, good luck for 2021
That was great - really enjoyed it 👍
I really enjoyed it too! Glad you liked. Cheers, Michael
Looks delightingly comfortable!
I reckon you would have been at a couple of mins faster if you had got past the other riders sooner - I would give anything to do a lap on closed roads. Fair play to Hickey for being fair on you as well, Top Man!!
Thanks, you're right. As I said in the commentary, had I have been braver (or with better circuit knowledge) I'd have been by those guys and marching on but it was good to do some waving and take in the atmosphere too! Cheers, Michael
Really great 👍
Wow ! I bet your rightly proud of that lap. Well done who better to assess than Peter. I am jealous as I,d love to ride a closed lap , but if I did it wouldn't be as fast as yours.
Churchtwon just short of the K tree. Somebody said Dan Kneen passed there so I researched it off the historical lap with the Svenglish narrator. REALLY good video for learning the course. The absolute best tutorial for the IOM Snaefell is "colin stockdale rearward facing camera." It gives you an appreciation for the UNBELIEVABLE UNDULATIONS of the course. How downhill it is into quarter bridge, union mills, ballascary, DJ's, etc. Uphill into Braden, (then down) how uphill the first part of the mountain is. Worth checking out if your a fan.
the beauty of today is video games! a good way to learn the TT is 'Isle of Man TT Ride on the Edge 2' (3 coming out May 2023 :) ) I've been playing it for about 3 months and it's taken every single bit of it to learn the track...i used the 'race line on' for most of it but after a million laps around the TT I've turned it off and gone at it blind... and it's fkn awesome! in the game I've won the Supersport TT and the Superbike TT riding in cockpit view with the line off and it feels great! it takes a lot to know this track and its 300 corners, and most corners are blind AND late apex so it's pretty brutal, but when you get it you get it! i feel like if i took a 600rr to the TT tomorrow i could get my way around and know exactly where i am and what to do... maybe not doing 200mph the whole time but I'd know where i am and what's coming! that's the advantage today's riders had over the pioneers, they can learn the track in a game before hand and it really helps! I'd love to get to the isle of man one day and check it out...as a spectator of course :)
I would of just got out my tent, shower, then on bike to Noah’s for breakfast. I’ll miss the Classic this year.
All the best to all riders and organisers. ✌️🏁🏍
I want to do a lap of the TT course. Must get to do it someday . Doesn't have to be fast. In fact I don't think I'd want to go that fast. I like keeping my bike "rubber side down" !
Just renewed my insurance with Bennett's, took a phone call to sort it out, could of got it £10 cheeper somewhere else but you know Bennet's care about bikes 👍
It´s just crazy! How many people, worldwide would face this challenge??? For me, enough watching the Video , when Hicky did the full Lap with cam... Discipline if you don´t know the track ..., a big challenge with that powerful bikes. That´s why i better not touch bikes with that power.
Lol, good sense of humor 👍
MIchael did well, well done.
The right you roll through kicking yourself is George's folly
What are bike markers?
I love tt , never been there , every now and then i find myself day dreaming about it .How do one go about fulfilling their dream of 1 lap of tt ? Or what is the best time for a civilian to do a lap or more?
If you want to do a "proper" lap then the Manx Grand Prix (straight after the Classic) is for amateur racers. There is "mad Sunday" during the TT proper week, bloody dangerous though. Or do what I did and do the lap under normal day to day public roads, obeying limits etc. If you want to thrash it there is no speed limit over the mountain, but learn it first.
@@TheSudsy what you need for a lap like this..do you need a racing-license for this manx grand prix?
@@armandoandreamartinelli8679 yes an ACU TT mountain course licence :)
@@TheSudsy Ok thanks very much 👍
@@TheSudsy there’s no such thing as mad Sunday anymore. Mad Sunday used to be on the only day they made the mountain one way, it’s now like that for the whole TT period
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was REALLY unusual for Ben Drinkwa'er. R.I.P.
Good show! But the music is too loud, as usual. I have to turn down the volume for the music, and then turn it up again to hear the commentary clearly. And then down again when the b..... music comes on. Just a tip for you. Cheers!
Its superstock tyre i belive, slick could bee alittle schatcy,,,but nice lines acourd too Hicky,so then its just increase,at same lines,but real good if yhis is beginners you passed a few
Tocada forte cbr 600 ou 1000 ?
CBR900RR from 1996
11:51
, that bee ate shit :o
Who is the fellow who flew past at 3m 05 secs. Phew 😙
Ive always wondered how an American sportbike rider could even get an opportunity to ride on the IOM TT
It’s not criticism when it’s from lap holder hicky , it’s great advice lol
I'd be over the moon to do a 25 min 37 sec lap of the IoM. It looked good to me. I have the feeling my lap would be more like 40 mins. Don't forget you were on a 123 ish BHP CBR900RR bike from 1996. The bike isn't brand new anymore, and it wasn't your bike ! Hicky has 200 ish BHP on his BMW S1000RR. So comparing to a 16 min 42 seconds lap is a bit unfair !
The lap time average of Philip McCallen (the winner) on the CBR900RR in the 1996 Production TT was 19 mins 18 secs ( 3 laps in 57 mins 53 seconds , not sure if they had pit stops in that )
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Isle_of_Man_TT
RRR Not an easy bike to lump around the circuit , they easy to get it wrong on . You wanna see dave Jeffrey's partner mooney doing a test run on a stock blade ,his clocks were pinned right over and jeffreys went past on his superbike( that just bust the lap record )making mooney look like he was going backwards
@Tog Dread bingo mate ha ha think it was the year later dj hit the post and nearly decapitated moody with telegraph wire or was it same meeting ?
@Tog Dread yeah mate a very sad day he past , a hero of mine too , took something special to break hislops record . I remember talking to (was then little) hicky right in view of DJs rizla suzuki for that on coming meeting .yeah your right moodie hadn't been heard much after the injuries, was a horrific slice ,don't think you ever get over seeing such a pic yet alone the injury with a loss of a good friend
@Tog Dread yeah totally agree 2 wheeled warriors , have you seen nadiah schoot, she was invited for the last TT before it was cancelled, her first northwest 200 she got first female to qualify for superbike class and came 21st overall
Tower bends coming out of ww2, there 135.452!! HaHa!! Big fan Hicky, damn shame about Covid. You'd probably be between 15-20 by now. ROCK ON HICKEY!!!
FairPlay decent ✊️👍
Very good n nice n welcome at the same time, Mr Hickman the New king of the mountain (not at all to take away John's history title yet) being very respectful following footage of Michael Mann's lap we have all missed this year's TT, riders n spectators but most of all the paying spectators that will not get thier deposits refunded or referred, a real shame to an iconic event that makes me wonder what the I O M aboriginal's really really think? people will loose out hard earnt money that are prepared to travel globally for this event,,...... maybe everyone should boycott the 2021 TT! For you I o m guest n camping sites you really want to be ashamed, call yourself legends of the greatest road race of all....................?
Is that everybody, nearly everybody, most of the people or minority of the people got their hard earned cash back, cos most of the people I know didn't n for not welcome you almost certainly as an island would suffer from this once a year revenue, your fish n chips taste nowt like fish n chips your Chinese food gave me food poisoning, your pubs are anty children, just a couple of my experiences whilst visiting , from me that knows nowt
Sean Kirk Trust me has an island we won’t suffer. And why you complaining nearly everyone got their money back through cancellation it was just a few hotels that tried to pull a fast one . But even the guests that booked at the places mentioned got there money back in the end . And one final thing please stay at home when the TT allowed again. We don’t need people like you on the island you certainly wouldn’t be missed.
@@thebeast2746 Hello THE BEAST,. Isle of man has suffered lost of income from covid this year yes you'll survive like you always have?,don't welcome the paying public if you don't want to!!!! But don't be pissed when someone payed good money n I mean good money then never got a kiss yu ass n nothing in return for not bin able to visit! N somebody let's you know,But some businesses relish English revenue once a year n without it will struggle, ps tried to tell yu mate I'm Scotland,...!!
Then used all the track.....
this guy rides slower on a closed course than i do on the street
It’s a parade lap mate. Not a race.
Patprick, I’ve never heard of a good rider criticising a novice rider, riding the TT course! A clear sign you are slow and insecure!
@@mikefandango9455 just saying he has the opportunity to open the bike up and ride fast yet he doesnt
@@patrickmorey2441 You say in your channel that you're 16 and it shows. This is a 1996 bike (much older than you) on THE ISLE OF MAN!Until you set foot on the island and see for yourself the off camber corners, the huge road bumps, extreme down and uphill gradients you can't talk, this guy did great he would run rings around you with this old granny, you wouldn't make it pass the first mile. I've owned over 20 bikes the last 25 years, I've been to dozens of world renowned circuits around the world, including the nurburgring,I've shared track day with hicky and dean Harrison at jerez and Portimao.I've nearly shit my pants at the iom going WAY slower than this, hickmann said it well here, looks like a walk in the park on camera,I know you think you're fast I had the same arrogance at your age, until you find yourself getting passed by this guys like you're on a scooter
Must there be shit music?
I go faster on my way to work lol
