I did this with Randy at Silverstone in 2015. I've ridden all kinds of big road bikes since 1979 and, trust me, nothing - nothing - prepares you for his skill and the bike's abities. It's like being plugged into the Matrix. We topped 195mph, the braking forces launch you off the rear mouse mat. One lap was more than enough, we're not as good as we think we are.
Just reminded me of a friend who used to race a 600 Honda. He went up to Mallory Park for a practice day. He thought he was a legend that day. Putting in some proper lap times and passing bikes left, right and centre. As he was on a flyer he got to long right hand bend at the end of the straight, cranked it over, knee down etc. At that moment someone passed on the outside like he was going backwards!
It turns out to be Ron Haslam on the JPS Norton. As he said afterwards. He thought I might as well chuck it in now. I will NEVER be able to that quick!
@@paulharrion3398 Similar , years ago Mallory Park , me on GSX R 750 Thinking I'm doing OK braking for Gerrards then wham , Jamie Whitham on 500 GP bike going 25 MPH faster then brakes 30/40 mtrs later awsome .
500cc GP bike faster than a gixer 750. Are you for real? 😂😂
too bad there is looots of talking and just seconds of actual onboard footage.
“Do you have any advice for me”.
Yes, you are the girl, hold on tight sweetheart.
What a gracious gentle man randy is ! Great experience for a complete novice
Sensory overload when he got off. I'm not one bit surprised considering the circumstances
I've ridden bikes for 40 yrs and I'd be sh**in myself also.
On the back is a different experience, and this guy is one of the best giving you your moneys worth.
Same here, been riding over 30 years. I own several GSXR’s and Hayabusa’s and have never been scared of speed. But stick me on the back of someone else and I crap myself above 50mph.
My first ever ride was on the back of a CBR 1100XX Blackbird at 120mph...This video takes that to the next level
First time ever on a motorcycle is on a GP bike with ex GP racer at Silverstone? If he ever rides again it will be boring by comparison.
Riding your own bike is never boring
I don’t know who Joe is, Randy is one of my heroes and it was so cool to see him, also cool to see a complete motorcycle novice get a taste of MotoGP. To say I’m jealous is an understatement. I had a pillion lap with Chris Walker on a ZX10R a few years ago at Brands Hatch GP circuit! That was insane
I was expecting Joe to burst out crying just like Henry Ford II in the movie Ford vs Ferrari.
They’re right, Randy Mamola is a true legend of the motorbike world.
That looks freaking amazing 👏👏👏I would love to do something like that! Just watching it, it gives me an adrenaline rush 🤩🤩
What a great Birthday present,,Randy mamola giving you a backy around a race track,,,top guy..🏴🇬🇧😃😃😃
Randy is awesome
A good wheelie taking off and a stoppie always good for the pillions confidence !! Just be grateful it wasn't a 500 2 stroke !!
WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE... AND TAKING WITH THE LEGEND RANDY MAMOLA .... 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I have done it with Randy 2016 on red Bull Ring, it was the best thing i have ever done, absolut fantastic 👍🏻
Would be a huge thrill to meet Eddie Lawson, let alone go for a ride with Steady Eddie. I've met many of the greats, but not my favorite bike racer of all time.
You lucky lucky lucky lucky lucy SOB
You haven't had a motorcycle experience until you go pillion on a Honda Cub
@@natural9743 I once, to the shear terror of my best friend on the back of my Honda MB5, decided to veer offroad, and jumped a huge hill. He brought it up, again, just the other day over thirty-seven years later. :-)
@@luvyesmusici4886 😅
When I got my first big CC sports bike, a mate said “I wish I could be back where you are now, Experiencing everything for the first time”. Seeing the guy shaking with the adrenaline, I want to go back and do it all again.
What a lucky bastard i would love to do that, and especially with randy as he is one of my all time favourite riders.
Being a passenger on a bike is a skill unto itself. I remember a 2-up ride where I just had my hands on the bars holding them still; the passenger was gently leaning back and forth, unconsciously steering the bike. We were on a major country 2-lane, a State Route, that gently wound through the countryside. The passenger didn't know he had been doing all the steering until we got off bike and told him!
Exactly what I searched for. High quality too
I had a very similar experience. I was lucky enough to ride with Frank Kelsey, the 3 times wheelbarrow pushing world champion. I sat in the barrow and he pushed me around the allotment. We went really fast down the path and it was buttock clenching time as we took the left hand bend past the runner beans. Thankfully we got round in one piece. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Man I really hope I can have a chance to do this. Especially with a MotoGP legend.
You are so lucky dude you finished in one piece. The first time l pillioned on someones bike they crashed it, and l sustained some damage. But went on to riding in my own right, and still ride now (have 3 bikes). That was 43 years ago.
ha ha i have also done it with Randy at Misano, laughed my head off all the way round, i was a guest of Ducati so i shared the motorhome at World ducati week with Stoner, Dovi,Lorenzo, they all made me and my wife feel like family, best personal thing i have done, its only 1 lap
What a lucky guy, meeting randy would be amazing but stoner as well and dovi
Randy is the BOMB!
What a nice guy randy mamola is top man
What you didn't see is the divot in the seat where the enormous balls of steel settle in while someone is racing at 180 plus mph. I can only imagine a fighter pilot having more nerve.
Is it just one round or how many laps do they do?
First time... and on that!
Even as an experienced rider I'm not sure!
I used to race...and there is NO way that I would do this. EVER. I'd feel completely out of control and at the mercy of the rider...and I'd be right...
Racers are the biggest babies/scaredy cats. Yes, racers don't like it much at all when others are in control. I use to race also for years, folks were more comfortable usually on the back of my bikes than in my cars, generally, but we also use to really fuck with each other. That's what racers do. One time they had a call for folks to help dry out a track. I took my racevan out with a couple of buddy racers. They were literally scared shitless when I decided I was going to get the fasted unofficial lap in a cargo van. I believe I still hold the record today at Summit Point. ;-)
I would definitely do it but I'd have to tell Randy to completely ignore my screaming, whooping and hollering. What a thrill it would be.
I don't race. I've ridden people on the back of my bike a few times (women are the best 👍) but there's no way possible I would get on the back of anybody's bike except that of a pro racer such as Randy.
@@blipco5 A pro would definitely be the most scary. Always wanted to do the bobsled thing, too. Only as the driver, if course. ;-)
I've ridden bikes all my life and I'm a big fan of the Isle of Man TT and Motogp etc and there is not a cat in hells chance I'd get on the back Randy Mamola or anyone else for that matter. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It would be kinda like bungee jumping off a bridge.
Once you start moving you're fate is no longer in your hands.
Any advice? Yes, relax and go with the angle of lean, don't try to sit upright just hold on and enjoy it.
I have been riding for 45 years and I don't know how I would feel about not being in control, I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
Fucking Legend Mate , well done . All the best?................
Good lad
Randy likes a wheelie and a powerslide or ten, always was an exciting rider and he's a great guy too. Superb.
I rode on the back of bike down country lanes going 125 mph. I think I was 19 at the time. It was fun but reckless - the only protection was a helmet without a visor. Your eyes stream at that speed and you can’t see properly.
In terms of percentage, does anyone know how much slower randy is travelling with a passenger as opposed to riding solo? Is he 10% slower? 50% slower?
Even riding a 1000cc road bike when you’ve not had it out for a few weeks is a bit of a wake up call. These things with Mamola piloting must be mental for a non biker.
Never even been on a motorcycle before and then that 😅😅😅😂😂😂
I'd love to do it to feel totally out of my depth. The buzz would be incredible!
I just wish they had wingsuits when I was young. I bet that's f'ng AWESOME!
They should have racers two up with zx14 and gsxr 1300 big bikes like that.
He's in good hands with randy
Formula one with 2 wheels? NO! It's much more than that.
Like Dug66666666 ridden bikes, track days; would I pillion no chance. Respect for actually putting your life in someone else's hands. Couldn't ask for a safer (legend) rider to look after you.
Get him on a sidecar around the TT now
I wanted to race F1 cars as a seven year old. Then I discovered bikes and wanted to be a sidecar hack. Last year. I met this racer on Twitter. I sent him some money, help get him some other sponsors, he put my name on the side of his fairing and raced the Iske if Man t.t.. Niw I can say I was actually on a bike racing The Isle of Man t.t.. Bloke even bought me some souvenirs. Awesome.
@@luvyesmusici4886 not really though can you mate ha
I need special race suit with diapers in it.
Just have a assless suit. Dump it right on the rear tire.
No footage of the lap
Anyone other than a racer or fast rider would be bricking it.. plus you've never been on a bike well done.. 💪strong ..
Correction: they not "going around at 180 mph" they hit 180 mph for like 1/2 second on the straight. Most tracks ave. ~ 90 to 105 mph. AND what's crazier than going 180 mph, is the pucker effect his going to get when he realizes how fast Randy's going to enter the corners!
Racing is the most fun you can have with your clothes on,
Also ridiculously dangerous, but if it wasn’t everyone would be doing it!
wife and i remember watching these guys going round thinking their gunna shit themselfs lol,we was opposite them when they stopped.
and the weather was so bloody hot hats off to all that went piggy back and the price tag OMG
Man i have so many km on my back riding motorcycles, and i would only be riding on the back of someone if it was in this situation, that i know that i would be 100% safe.
♥️it
If I have a chance to ride with RM✌️😁
TT next then?? 🤣
Man up.
Its simple either you can ride a bike like pro or you can't,there is no in between,same as the first time I flew a helicopter,no mistakes at all and I was riding the shit out of my 07' fireblade...and yes I crashed a few times but never at a speed above 80 mph...Just got to tell the machine to do what you want it to do not the other way around..
Lucky b*oy... 😏 I wish I could ride with such a legend, just a couple of laps... Oh boy, you've got the ride of your lifetime. Hope you enjoyed for those who wanted to be there.
they treated him lightly - its looks slower then normal warm-up lap :)
Yerp. Its crazy. They did me hard
LUCKY BAST@@@
Never, absolutely never would I ride a motorcycle as a passenger!

I much prefer to sit in the front of my CBR1000RR and drive at top speed (186 mph) on the German Autobahn.
Hahaha 1 I can’t see them doing 180 2up and 2 silverstone the best motorbike track in the world 🤔 are you sure!!!!!!
Just passed my bike test (in the UK) in February this year at the age of 49, had a Suzuki GSXR 600 sitting ready to go when i passed, don't mind admitting i was shitting myself when i first took it out on my tod with no instructor, had to learn how to ride it as it was so different to the learner bike. Bikes are fantastic but a whole different ball game to cars.
Nope nope. 😮
Few seconds of footage. Meh.
No onboard? What a joke
Girls blouse...maybe try badminton
This dude is ruined for life now he's never gonna ride a bike that fast again haha
You all lost your mind why would you have a desire to do this i dont get it
It’s not for everyone.
Thought he was about to enter an active war zone they way they all waffled on. Blimey 🤦🏻♂️
Well, people die riding bikes you know? For someone that has never even been on a motorcycle before you can guarantee that he had a lot of nasty thoughts, the team members were trying to reassure him.
@@L.C.Sweeney I understand that, but, its the psychology of it. A roller coaster is safe, that don't stop people from shitting themselves if they have never been on one before. And rollercoasters are far safer than MotoGP racing.
Remember, he has never been on a bike before either. I ride motorcycles, and even then I feel nervous on the back of one. And you expect someone who has NEVER been on a bike before as rider or passenger to not shit themselves at 180mph? bahaha
A guy never on a motorcycle has absolutely zero buisness doing this/getting on the back. Could have been dangerous for both.
@Jerryhowse It also doesn't take much to fall off a bike either. Happy it turned out good fir all concerned. Just rather odd a guy never been on a bike befire gets on that one at a track.
@@luvyesmusici4886 They do have to pay £500 for the privilege, no one puts a gun to their head.
With your attitude to life we would still be waiting for the first ascent of Everest.
First-time motorbike PASSENGER. Pretty lame
Hey go do some girl stuff. Like soccer. 😃
Whats all the fuss about 180 these days is nothing "nothing" My smaller bikes will do this !!! Going around bends at fast speed is another thing but again nothing once you have
done it a few times....Falling off is another issue but yet again once you have done so its nothing you just get back up and ride again !!!! Whats all the fuss about ?????????????
There was no fuss, you are making a fuss. Or are you just here to tell you can crash and go again? For somebody who never was on a bike in his life, 180 is quite a lot for a first try. That's it. No fuss, except from your comment.
@@v1ncen715 Calm down Calm down I was only joking 180 is fast who ever you are and i have not been there 150 max for me !!! and to do 180 as a passenger well lets not
go there shall we unles we have a spare pair of you know what !!! appols for miss leading no negative intended !! Stay safe !!
