Great stuff! Clearly you were pushing hard - hence the need to take time out to check the quality of the lawn at Melbourne hairpin! Looking forward to the 'behind the scenes footage'. Congrats to Tarran on his win today.
Thanks Andrew. It's easier to find the limit at places like Donington when there's a bit more run off. He had an awesome day, I'm well pleased for him.
Thank you thank you thank you, haven’t been on a bike in over 12 months and watching this was like being there onboard made one old lady very happy ❤️ keep up the good work
Liked the camera angle TBH. I just hope they manage to figure out why the BMW goes from such a great SuperStock to a mediocre SuperBike so we can see your full potential and beat you brother to the top spot a few times next year!
Great content again, Taylor. You present your vids really well and it's a pleasure to watch you at work. Shame no one's really got the BMW flying so far this year. Would be great to see another pair of brothers battling at the front - I'm sure it will come!
T-Mac, just watched your interview with Al Fagan on 44Teeth - you were truly awesome on the Super Stock bike last year and made the series really exciting to watch. I have absolutely no doubt you will 'own' the Superbike real soon and will be pushing Taz for the podium ;) BTW....GoPro higher up next time please for a better view of the track. Thank you, Sir.
@@tmac77 At first I thought the camera height was bad but quickly realised that instead of watching your line I could follow your gear shift pattern. So while it's not the usual, it is interesting. Happily I know Dony well enough to follow from the side views. Thanks for this and look forward to the test day video. PS: please get your data overlay on screen. GoPro say: GPS captures your location, altitude and speed. To share your feats of greatness, add GPS performance stickers to your videos in the GoPro app.
You need a bit more commitment into redgate and the Melbourne hairpin.😳😂 Excellent vid mate, enjoyed that. No music blaring over the onboard, the beemer sounds awesome!
I am relatively new to this channel but love what your doing/content. Keep going and ill sit back and enjoying watch you on both BSB and youtube 🍻😆. Need to see you win another championship!!!!
Great vid - loved it, double short shift after the old hairpin etc. And especially the accidental view of the fork work - good to see stuff like that. Keep them coming and good luck at Brands.
I know this has nothing to do with the vid,which is quality by the way.but i was just wondering if you and tarran have done track days on the same bike and if you set similiar times?i just wonder how close riders are time wise,and how much is bike advantage?your bro was proper dialled in on the weekend mind!and nice to see you two celebrate together!
Interesting seeing the adjustments on the forks. Could you do an in-depth video on how track setup and adjustment is done for brakes , suspension, rake and engine mapping. What sort of differences would a set for donnigton be compared to say knockhill.
That's two saves in two vids I've watched back to back! Awesome to see someone push it to the limits without mangling up there bike and gear! Awesome riding man. I'm dying to get some info on the akra titanium evo system you are running! Are these they same as consumers can buy or are these one offs Akra builds for you? Thanks man.
Wicked view✊🏼 interesting with the shift up from 3rd to 5th coming out of the old hairpin into turn 5, is that to keep the bike settled through the corner??
He'll need to shift into 5th after turn 5 anyway, and when you lay the bike on its side at turn 5 the revs will rise in 4th so it's easier to short shift. At least that's what I found and I'm going considerably slower on my R6 😂
Superbikes spin a lot in 4th just as you tip in to the left kink cause you're flat out so 5th kills it as you lean it over so it's ready when you come out.
I’m on the national circuit with no limits at the weekend. Only done a couple of sessions there before. Have no idea where I’m going hahaha. I’m guna qualify last. That’s where all the best rides come from #madmark
The footage was fine!. Just the number plate being in the way these days. Fairing designs are newer is the only difference. Does the front fall in too quickly at the old hairpin? It looks like you couldn't just slam it in and go for the throttle. It looks like the front was low, high, then inbetween then you went to stiffer (based on the fork springs looking larger).
So looking forward to seeing you up front on this weapon Taylor where you belong. Seeing as you guys are down to 1 Rnd left; what's you plans for next year?
HI Taylor, when you come to the chicane before the melbourne hairpin do you mainly focus on body positioning or is it more quick steering inputs to get through it quickly? awesome video by the way.
@@tmac77 Top man! Saw you at Oulton Park in Superstock riding like a maniac (TMac the Maniac!) last year and followed you since. Know BSB BMW isn't the best right now, but looking forward to seeing you ride like that maniac again someday. All the best man!
I enjoyed seeing the mechanics work on the forks
It was oddly satisfying...
@@VState60 I think because it's something we wouldn't normally get to see
Yes and would like to see more of this please TMac
I'd like to say I meant it, but I came across it by accident when I downloaded the footage!
@@tmac77 that's a happy accident lol ps good job at the weekend, thats was some sketchy conditions to say the least.
Great footage, especially the mechs doing their thing....the unsung heroes of racing.

Really quick into Melbourne hairpin though isn't he. Second time round thought he was back onto the grass but he arrived perfect speed at the apex
Thanks Andrew. It's easier to find the limit at places like Donington when there's a bit more run off. He had an awesome day, I'm well pleased for him.
I really enjoy the last sector at Donington, its fun on the last lap!
This on board videos are the best! We can see just how much difference is between a trackday rider and a pro! Keep them coming Taylor😁✔
Thank you! I'm at Silverstone later this week so I'll take a camera with me.
Thank you thank you thank you, haven’t been on a bike in over 12 months and watching this was like being there onboard made one old lady very happy ❤️ keep up the good work
Thanks Sharon!
Your videos are so good Taylor ✊
Thanks Glenn 😁👍🏼
Nothing wrong with that buddy! I liked seeing the fork settings being changed too
Glad you liked it, the fork setting change was by pure accident but I was pleased with how that bit turned out!
These vids just keep getting better! Keep 'em coming Taylor.
Thanks! Will do!
Liked the camera angle TBH. I just hope they manage to figure out why the BMW goes from such a great SuperStock to a mediocre SuperBike so we can see your full potential and beat you brother to the top spot a few times next year!

Great view, good to see the gears being used at different points of the track, seeing fork settings being done was good too. Great vids 👌
Thanks Edwin 😁👍🏼
Changing the springs looks so cool, great detail. First time at your channel, good luck :-)
Thank you very much!
Thanks Taylor, great content, you will no doubt get the hang of the go pro, looking forward to more
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks 44 teeth for introducing me to this channel. . Great insight into bsb. Keep up the good work bud🤘🏻
Glad you’re enjoying it 😁👍🏼
Begged for more onboard on your last video and you delivered!!!! Hooorrrayyyy!!!
Plenty more to come too!
Good job there....even checking the run off for future refence in lap 1....more mechanical stuff please.....and maybe a glimpse of Mad Mark!
More Mad Mark ideas are incoming!
Awesome content this 👌🏻🔥 just subscribed as I’m massive fan of bsb and yourself! Thanks for the informative vid 😀
Thanks Lewis 😁👍🏼
Dam, I had no idea about ur channel until the 44 teeth vid. It’s 🔥🔥🔥 tho!
Thanks very much, I appreciate the support 😁😆
Also here from 44teeth
Awesome as always Taylor 👍
Thanks Iain 😁
Fair play mate, you are shifting bud! Lovely bike 👍🏁
Thanks Steve 😁
Great video and well done to Tarran today at Donnington. Looks like the drinks are on you! (Or better still, your dad!!)
We'd do well to get them out of my dad! 😂
Taylor Mackenzie 😆🏴

We haven’t actually, it would probably make a good video. I can’t afford tazs wage for the day though 😆
Great video on the go pro.
Thanks Anthony!
Wicked thanks, wish all the best to you and taz for brand's, all the best to you all and take care. 👍🤓🍻🏁🏍️
Thanks Roy!
It was interesting to see the dash to be honest. As a marshal I've heard a lot about it over the years. The view was pretty cool too. :-)
I'd imagine you'll have picked a few up too 😂
@@tmac77 Yes I have. :-)
I loved the views. The fork work on video an added bonus. Just wondering if the slow rider put you off your line?
Brilliant Taylor thanks for the insight
Thanks very much 😁
Holy s..t that corner entry speed 👍👌👌
Thanks Jon!
Interesting seeing the adjustments on the forks. Could you do an in-depth video on how track setup and adjustment is done for brakes , suspension, rake and engine mapping. What sort of differences would a set for donnigton be compared to say knockhill.
I definitely can, I’ll make a note and do a video on it at some point 😁👍🏼
Thanks Taylor. Really enjoy following you and little chubby cheeks (Taz). 😂👊🏻👍🏻
Awesome recordings 👍
Really like your Video 🔥
Thanks for watching! 🙌
How is your leg now Taylor? Great vid
It’s ok, I’ve got to have an operation in a few weeks so I can straighten it out properly but hopefully after that it’ll be back to 100% 👍🏼😁
That's two saves in two vids I've watched back to back! Awesome to see someone push it to the limits without mangling up there bike and gear! Awesome riding man.

Good, informative video Taylor, thanks for that.
Thanks Adrian! 😁
Great video again, I liked the camera view ! What was your best lap in the end ? Cheers
Thanks! I can't remember what I ended the day on, at the weekend racing I did a 1:30.7.
@@tmac77 Quick then !! ok I'll get my coat !! :-)
that is 7 seconds faster than me on a very good day !!
Interesting to see the 2 gear short shift after the old hairpin....I'll try 2 next time 👍😊
It should make the run up the hill a bit smoother 👍

Can you make a video on why some teams and bikes are not competitive. What it takes to become competitive, other than money.
Sure thing! I’ll make a note and do one at some point 👍🏼

Enjoyed that, ta 🙂👍
Nice....suggesting moving the camera up. As a rider let's see the action...
Next time! 👍
Was it wet ?
Go away Coops 😂😂
Has that front end slammed down
0:07 it is actually morning... 3 Am
😂
Balls the size of Mellons !!!!!!! Not the best camera angle... but was good to see the damper change... :-)))
Thanks you!
Great Video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
What camera do you use Taylor? Loving the videos 👍🎥 we need more Mad Mark.
I use the go pro 7 and a canon eos r now 👍🏼 more mad mark will be coming 😁
Not possible to get even more out of the bike if you were geared so you could also use 6th? Maybe just more wheel spin?
Theres a long winded answer for it, which is outside of my area of expertise 😂 but in short 2nd to 5th worked best at Donington for us.

It looks like you couldn't just slam it in and go for the throttle. It looks like the front was low, high, then inbetween then you went to stiffer (based on the fork springs looking larger).

Keep it up Taylor x
Thanks Liz 👍
@@tmac77 missed bsb this year, was looking forward to seeing you race
What hapend at 2:21?
It started backing in too much straight away so I wasn't slowing down enough and had to take avoiding action. 😂
More please and longer, was just getting into it when it finished :o)
🤣
I’ll get some more done soon 😁👍🏼
I recon madmark would be around 20 seconds Quicker. And as for Championy, he’s so quick he’d be at the finish before he even started.🤪🤪
😂😂 very true
is the bottom right of the dash display how fast you you are off your best lap?
It is yes!
Future Moto1 champion 😉
Haha with a bit of luck 😂
@@tmac77 Yes man for sure..You ride great...Keep it up bro..❤️
Awesome video 👍🏾💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💯💯💯🏍
Thanks! 👍
So looking forward to seeing you up front on this weapon Taylor where you belong. Seeing as you guys are down to 1 Rnd left; what's you plans for next year?
Thanks. I haven’t got any plans yet but hopefully I’ll get something sorted soon.
Nice one buddy 👍🏻✊🏼
Thanks again Derek!
Do you have merchandise? Where can I buy it?
I do! My website is www.taylor-mackenzie.co.uk and the shop is on there 😁
@@tmac77 thanks ordered a shirt.
Did you change for harder spring?
We did yes, it was a bit soft on the front in the hard braking.
Here thanks to 44Teeth. Nice riding!
Thanks for watching! 😁
So ferry, cross the Mersey
On the way to Moto1, nice one mushroom 😀
One day 😂
Awesome ✊🏻💥💨
The thumbscrew on your left clip-on, is that a bite point/reach adjuster for the front brake?
Footage is pretty damn good, along with your speed.
It is yes, well spotted! It comes in handy at places like Donington where the brakes get really hot.
HI Taylor, when you come to the chicane before the melbourne hairpin do you mainly focus on body positioning or is it more quick steering inputs to get through it quickly? awesome video by the way.
I would love to say I know the answer to that but I don't 😂 I think it's a bit of both
@@tmac77 😄😅 Thanks anyway
Mate if that’s testing, race day must seem like warp speed.
It certainly doesn’t seem slow😂
@@tmac77 love donnington park! The racing is always mint
Can't fault it. 5 Stars.
Thanks!
Good stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
You make it look easy, and it ain't
😂😂 doesn’t feel it for me either some times
Looked good to me bud 👍😎😷🇬🇧

Any chance of putting camera on helmet? Crash helmet that is... not your other helmet...
There’s one coming Sunday just for you Timo! 😁😆
@@tmac77 Top man! Saw you at Oulton Park in Superstock riding like a maniac (TMac the Maniac!) last year and followed you since. Know BSB BMW isn't the best right now, but looking forward to seeing you ride like that maniac again someday. All the best man!
4th gear : ‘Am I a joke to you?’
😂
Other than the ‘blip’ into the loop on lap 1 I didn’t see much wrong there bud🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Thanks Rich! All down to my top sponsors RAS Extraction!!
Easy.
😎😎
Thank God my BMW doesn’t go as fast or lean over as much. I’d ‘do’ my leathers.
