@@sirlloyd6386 i almost got lucky. my step dad loved bikes but by the time i was old enough and we found out about pocket bikes we where in a bad financial situation. think it was around 2007-2008 so probably had to do with the whole situation going on. so i never got a pocket bike and my step dad was forced to sell his bike. after that he turned more and more in to a boring old ''svensson'' that hated fun and sudenly was against speeding. dude use to love to speed on his vfr800 and he had all the ghost rider dvd's pirated. my uncle though did have a pocket bike he bought of a garage sale because he just thought it was the coolest shit ever. but he lives in Estonia me and mom moved to sweden so did not get to ride it much. the little i did get to ride it i almost died as i whent full speed hit a pot hole and got the death wobbles. no helmet on or anything just 8year old me with probably shorts and T shirt as it was summer. managed to save it but i was afraid of the thing after that hahaha
I'm getting my self set up for a season of club racing next year mostly due to the inspiration you guys give me with all of your onboard track action over the years esp the Suzuki 125 days 😂 keep up the amazing work ✌️
New rules for the ride and bike combined weight is great news! Also remember one of the ringers Levi Day, he taught me at Ron Haslam's race school, cracking lad.
Love seeing these onboards after watching the races. Get yourself into the low carb & intermittent fasting mate. The weight falls off if you're not going crazy with fat. Steak/Bacon, eggs & fried veg every day. What's not to like?
wahayyyy get on Al! I always look forward to these F900 highlights so much :) Thank you as always, and keep fighting! All the best to Chris and Boothy and the gang
I'm a chunky boy who also likes to race slow bikes (SV650) and the way I look at it is this; If I gave up eating delicious food and enjoying a beer on occasion, so I could be lighter and win some club races, then what have I really gained? A club race win on a weekend? And the rest of the time, I'm miserable because I can't eat shit? I say enjoy some good food, in moderation, put some extra time in on the bicycle or the treadmill, strike a balance, and enjoy doing what you can on the track while also enjoying your life. Just my take!
Alistair your a strong racer man, I know we all enjoyed racing but man, you said it yourself brother, proper eating and you are getting these others man. Power to weight as you know is full on key besides mind set. We all want more from you in the coming season. Sacrifice for your fans and showing these dudes what up 👊🏻 🇨🇦
Great ride. You know how to handle it when it's wet. Became a bit more painful when dried up. That gearing change was more imapctful than anyone thought would be, I guess. Those shades look like would be worn by someone who is an "adult movie celebrity". Keep up with the good spirit.
I used to race against James Kelly in the pre-97 class here in Ireland. Ok, now when I say 'race', I would have been IN the same race as him, but he was on a much different level to me!! Great lad though, nice to see him enjoying himself over there.
Made up for all of it seeing your son's cheering you on,, and helping out,, brilliant stuff real family stuff in your gaff ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland fair play 😊
I was sat on Graham hill all weekend 🟠 and remember your moment on the exit in the feature race and genuinely let out a big FFS shortly after getting ready to catch 😅😅
Al, what’s going on with those specs mate, they made by Pyramid?!!! Joking aside, superb ride and well done……….fab to see the family getting involved 👍🏻
Hey Al, was great to see you over the three days! Thanks for the photo! Sorry about the confusion with the Red Bull, I'll make sure its caffeine free next time 😂
You have much more experience... maybe just a reminder. My 2 cents of advise for your bike's dry setup. * Gear ratio should be based on your bike's powerband (dyno result). * And the rider should know what rpm he's hitting before releasing the gas/braking point thru the longest straight.
adorable to see the kids getting involved.. what an upbringing!!
Lucky lucky kids, they have no idea just how lucky they are to have the Dad they do.
My dad made me play tennis !!😢😡

Good luck! Hope your wallet is suitably swollen
So good seeing real racing from the racers perspective, hope you can get a setup you like. Good luck to Boothy
Props to you. That was some great riding in the wet!
"Thomas weighs as much as my ball bag..." you never cease to crazy me up, thank you!
"It's about bloody time" 😂😂😂😂😂
Seeing the little people cheering is so cute❤

Brands is an amazing circuit Great to have the race shown clearly on board and added commentary.

'About bloody time', classic line from the boy!
Those Evel Knievel leathers are fantastic.
Those sun glasses a carry over from bbb Italia? Smiling all through this vid. Gj
Sorry mate I had a good laugh on your first close-up, those goggles are something else!
Goes beyond terrible that it becomes good🤣
amazing to have the lads involved! great seeing you guys sharing this

Fruxton up next with the legend. Just need Mossy for one round to make the season complete.
Now that is an idea 😂
@@FortyFourTeeth .. as long as you won't need the bike soon after
1:57 Did Coco Chanel leave her glasses round your gaff mate?

Bloody beautiful seeing your little lad's involved. Winning already buddy!
no wonder I can never find you in the paddock, different awning every meet!!😅 congrats on the race pal. Saturday was a great watch!
Jesus the sunglasses don’t get any better Fagan 😂
1:56 Those have got to be the mostest stupider sunglasses I have yet seen.
Fun watching the racing.
Great video Al. Does your Mrs know you've got her sunglasses?
It's watching the race from a talented rider's view. Real enjoyable series so far
Great video and commentary Al
Great to see the lads shouting you on
.. #slimfast... needed

Stellar riding Al, felt like I was watching Niccoló Canepa on board.
Welldone mate brilliant racing as usual
Great to see! Can you add a tooth in the front to make the 46 rear act more like a 43?
Amazing skills in the wet tho pal, loved watching you! Even better meeting you 🫶🏼 and good luck to boothy for Thruxton 👊🏼
Those shades are special
Man I love such racing content
Get barron big nose on it , that should make your results look much better ! Great footage balls out racing......
saw you there mate but you looked busy so didn't interrupt, but was a really good weekend and glad for the good weather on sunday.
Thought you rode bloody well Al. Fingers crossed for some decent summer weather
Nice one Nigel 💪🏻👏🏻
Won't be a tragedy if the dog chews up those shades. Cheers 🍻
@1:54 If i had shades like that i'd carry my own glazing products, need a squeegee for those things...Elvis meets Showaddywaddy ;)
Great to see the future racers getting involved!
Those glasses are ridiculous :)
Brands GP is mustard, Good to meet you sat, thanks for the pass to get in (I was with Jimmy Feta) got fucking soaked riding home.
Should’ve gone to specsavers Al…😂 cracking series this, well done keeping the seat warm for Boothy👏🏻
Well done Al. Now imagine what would be possible if you lost some weight.
at 16.33 what does tap of the seat mean?
Made up for all of it seeing your son's cheering you on,, and helping out,, brilliant stuff real family stuff in your gaff ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland fair play 😊
Nige, ffs those sunnies are ridick!
It was amazing to watch and hear your name over the tannoy, was it Haslams bike that dropped oil, messing up wet run/ heat race 🙈😱
I was sat on Graham hill all weekend 🟠 and remember your moment on the exit in the feature race and genuinely let out a big FFS shortly after getting ready to catch 😅😅
If I was losing places due weight…. I would lose 3 stone right away…. It’s free for a start!!!….. no brainer….😂😂
Great vid but wtf are those sunglasses 😂😂😂😂
I watched the f900 cup races at brands. The f900s cup bike of Kate walker is something else. Great video 🔥
Is that an R 900 roadster or an XR 900 sport ? I mean did you put fairing on the R900 or you using XR model?
It’s coming Al, your getting there…. Just one piece of advice, the sun glasses, were you wearing them, or were they wearing you😂
Min weight is good idea, as the whippets get a big advantage.
I don’t know why you beat yourself up Al, I think your smashing it us mortals can only dream of getting to this level 👍🏼
Bloody brilliant man”, see lot of guys you beating are top ex racers etc,. 😎👍
I will never get bored of the fart sound effects
Damn good ride for a human cheeseburger
Those shades are horrid mate xD
Wow 😮 what’s with the 1980s sunglasses 🕶️ 😂
Love seeing your lads getting proper into it mate, well done!
It's the middle of summer and your weather is still shit.
holy moly those glasses!!!
Great job, especially in the wet.
S’cuse my ignorance but what does the seat tapping mean?
Al, what’s going on with those specs mate, they made by Pyramid?!!! Joking aside, superb ride and well done……….fab to see the family getting involved 👍🏻
Nice one fella lovin it
And here I thought Evel Knievel had died years ago. Props to the old bugger for racing in a British championship 👏 👍!
great footage more please great ride shame about the gearing but that's racing you had to try it you never know
Surprised you went higher on the gearing given the extra lard and no need for high top speed.
Why were you running old tyres ?
Those sunglasses he wears are just brutal
Hey Al, was great to see you over the three days! Thanks for the photo! Sorry about the confusion with the Red Bull, I'll make sure its caffeine free next time 😂
Chicken Shish mate.
Fast Food doesn't get much healthier than that.
Throw away the burger buns too.
Nice riding in the wet boss. And is that a 32 or a 36 inch tv you were wearing?
You have much more experience... maybe just a reminder.
My 2 cents of advise for your bike's dry setup.
* Gear ratio should be based on your bike's powerband (dyno result).
* And the rider should know what rpm he's hitting before releasing the gas/braking point thru the longest straight.
Dude. Great riding! Get on the ketogenic diet.
Nice one Nige.
Hi Nige
You want to tell Harley to get back on his bandit.
I wanted to buy a -1/+2 sprocket kit for my Zx6r but that wouldn’t have given me 44teeth. So -1/+1 it is!
Solid racing! All the others seem to pass you quite easily on the straights. Not sure why. Maybe eat less burgers and kebaps and beers?
You can eat burgers and kebabs, just don't eat the bread. Beer is liquid bread.
State the obvious but you was killing it on corner entry just need a tweek to get back up through them gears rapid ❤
110 hp R7 sounds badass
You lads should have a look at the enduropale du touquet for 2024
The little guys will remember those days forever. Kudos to you.
See you borrowed snoop doggs sunglasses
That was some great racing!
what does tapping the seat mean when you've passed someone?
Leave the burgers and kebabs but beer is not fattening, it's the rum/brandy and coke which puts on the weight !!
This is cool to watch... ✊🔥
richard copper is proper quick! shouldn’t be seal clubbing in the f900’s 😂 great vid as always al
He is proper quick but it is a British Superbike support class, so it’s good to have him. Kinda 😂
Quick question. When are you getting more 44 teeth clothing stock in as you have no medium in t shirts or hoodies. Cheers chaps
Go on Daddy. Brilliant
Get those kids their own race bikes.
