People here in The United States particularly in the media refer to the Indianapolis 500 as "The Greatest Spectacle in Motor Sports". I respectfully disagree. While the 500 is driving really fast around a circuit, the TT is like driving really fast around a circuit while someone throws buildings at you.
davedeja yea honestly the greatest racing is road racing where it isn't perfect that's what makes rally so great and tarmac road racing like the Irish road race series and even Nürburgring was originally a public road but eventually became a closed track becuase it's so difficult
Yeah, the Yanks really like to call themselves "world champions" in sports that only exist in the US. Like, practically nobody outside the US gives a single shit about NASCAR And, in the top INTERNATIONAL motorsports, there is not a single Yank in either Formula 1 or MotoGP... There's a Canadian (Lance Stroll) in F1, but he's only there because his Dad owns a team. Otherwise, he's one of the worst drivers I've ever seen.
Whilst people see their chance to hate on anything noit fron their village I am sitting here, chuckling about the ' whike someone throws buildings at you' part. Thanks for that Dave!
***** You call it a track, but when you get to the Island and start riding the course, it hits you: These are public roads, with houses, pubs and stone walls within kissing distance of the side of the road. It really makes you realise how nuts these TT riders are! Big respect to them. Go to the TT, you will not regret it :D

DrummerMan52 yes I believe everyone that starts riding those streets becomes fascinated on how fast they go... and those jumps are totally insane. Let's see how life turns out, maybe I will be able to go sooner than I think... at least I hope so. :)
Nice Vid Baron, nice to see Steve from Padgetts enjoying it still (steve hodgson). I bought a couple of bikes off him. TT is an amazing spectacle and there is nothing quite like the silence and stillness of the air whilst waiting for the first bikes to go through.
Baron you bring such a personal depth to the TV races that I have yet to see anyone else do. It definitely doesn't show that it was your first year. Looking forward to seeing more of these!!!
It always makes me almost well up asking the older man about his special memories and the look in his eyes when he takes himself back to those fantastic times he had riding the TT
has to be the best vid ive seen this year. really captures on a personal level the spectacle of TT and why its so revered. it appears to be one of the last places where motor sport is still pure and passionate. i envy everyone that has had the opportunity to go.

Finally! Been waiting for another TT episode for quite a while - it's such a fascinating event, even just from a remote perspective (haven't been there), and it's especially amazing to get this close to it without actually being there. Also, those bikes going past in nothing but a blur. Damn. Thanks for these awesome videos. :)
Baron I think this is truly your calling... Well shot vid, really felt like a documentary. Great connection with the locals and riders. This video really captured an all around view of the IOM TT, Riders and spectators. Well Done Baron...
Top of the class for this video. I didn't go to my first TT until 2011 and I kick myself for no going earlier. It is utterly compelling, mad and entertaining, with the bonus being the best playground for motorbikes known to man. The first time you hear a Superbike flat out for what seems like an age, catch sight of it as it the come into view and then flash past you flat out in a high gear through corners, redefining your frame of reference for what is actually possible, stays with you and makes it impossible to not return for another fix of the spectacle. The video reminds of that feeling, was going to just do the Bol D'or next year, but now I'll have to look at a TT trip again!
Baron you're the best. I am glad you had the chance to enjoy this amazing experience. Just know you deserve it & have many people that admire you, support you, and it's always sending you positive energy. Enjoy all your videos & thanks for taking the time to post on your busy schedule. Hope all is well with you and your family. Happy Holidays! Ride safe.... ;)
Thanks for the post. Can't get enough of this TT. I watched Guy Martins crash (2010?, not sure atm) several times, and stillcan't believe he's standing.
Hello Baron, you did a very good job here!! The editing is an official tv channel, UAU! Compliments and thanks for this peculiar view inside the TT and it's heroes.
Bloody Brilliant BvG !!! Excellent Edit Effort & Congratulations on this moment... I know it's been a goal of urs...and most never get to grasp their dreams like this !!! I'll be watching your Euro-series over these Holidays, again. Bravo !!!
I've never really watched that much TT but I've heard how crazy it was and scene some race footage. lovely to see the real community side of it, everything behind it. loved this vid man.
Baron you are awesome mate. I am very envious of how far you have made this TH-cam thing go for yourself. You are an awesome interviewer; not like some of the regular TV presenters out there. Keep it up mate.
I need to get to the TT one day... even if to just quietly masturbate in some guys shed while the bikes roar past!! Damn you're one lucky fella being front row with such legends!!
I really love your interviews from the TT, some of the best coverage from the inside I've seen. I could eat at least seven big macs in 20 min, but I am American.
Careful Baron, can't a glimpse of your bearded jaw around 4 mins, lol, great interviewing and race coverage, Guy Martin is such a character, so down to earth too. Cheers, Paul.
Another great vid as always Baron... Yet to go to the TT myself, but oh my I WILL in the next 2/3 years when I get my bike license.. Immense footage. Great job mate. DOUBLE BLOODY BRILLIANT!
BvG has quite literally gone pro. So awesome to see you develop from an English bastard on a bike talking about urinating on a computer keyboard to releasing professional content. I do miss those stories though! keep staying awesome!!
If my life was on the line and Guy Martin was giving me instructions on how to live, I would die. I can't understand a lick he says. But great video man and loving the beard. #beardreveal
One of the best TT videos I've seen. Really cool you took the time to do this! And of course thanks for keeping it irreverent as per your usual style ... your interviewees and audience appreciate that.
Great interviews! Garden peas or mushy peas?? Seriously though, you defo captured the feel of the event and what it means for the riders and fans - good work.
That was amazing. Going to the TT is definitely one of those things on my bucket list. It's a long trip coming from the US but I HAVE to make this happen. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers.
That's where I watched the TT from in 2012 crazy how u listen to the top riders come through there and not back off and it's a massive corner! And when your hanging over that drystone wall how close you are u could put ur arm out and touch them!! Defo going back next year might see you there Baron :)
This is an excellent piece on the TT. Raw and emotive. I love motorsport in particular GT racing cars (Lambos, Ferrari, Porsche etc) and in Australia we have the Bathurst 12 hr. That event is great. If you are ever wanting to come to Australia I highly recommend it and would love to show you around Mt Panorama :) Thanks for this great video Baron, really appreciate it.
This is such a great video. Never really had the desire to own a sports bike (More of a cruiser man if anything), but one thing I've always had an interest in it's the TT. As one of your interviewees said 'You'd be able to start a race like this from scratch today'. A fantastic video, tastefully shot with some excellent light relief and, personally my favourite touch, no music. Top work *****
you may enjoy on you tube a unusual vid about a group of friends trip the tt think well worth a watch it,s VUNDES VUN VAN A MAN if type thing like check my playlist many more
I've worked it out, finally recognised that voice - your David Walliams :-) Your one lucky fecker getting that close to those real men and heroes.... GM - "No Champagne and Blow Jobs for me" - awesome. My overriding memory of the place is the sound of the bikes as they approach and the sound builds and then hangs in the air for what seems like an eternity once they pass. Special, special place.
Guy,love you man!! Conner too!! James just watched you do the drakar alot of people looking up to you guys and you have all handled it very well!! Im going to predict the senior winner lol
Great video. Very well put together. Ive been to the isle of mann to ride the roads when there's not been any racing on. Will defo try race week though, seems like a great atmosphere. Thanks for uploading this Baron! :-)
I bet . I'm from South Carolina U S A . I would love to be able to go see the TT one day . I think it is just crazy what those guys are doing on bikes. May God be with them & the people of that island
Watched most of your videos Baron but not watched this one til now. Back from this years TT (2015), amazing, as ever, we go to Gorse Lea every year. I think you need to go back there and do a follow up on the selection of cakes available - currently for me and the lads its the Lemon Drizzle which is up there at the top, plus if you stand on the shipping crate that's set back a little you can also get a good view if the cobblestone wall is full!
I must say well done on this video! I love all your videos, but the way you've edited and got the interviews etc., it was different but different in a good way!
My Dad went out there this year unfortunately I couldn't join him, I hope I can go with him next year only he's facing the predicament of whether to go the the British MotoGP or the TT so we'll see. Great vid Baron well worth the wait, mate!
So much respect for the racers. That level of commitment and skill is amazing!!! Great video Baron. You getting to do the interviews was awesome as well. XD Ride safe
Awesome video man! I definitely want to fulfill my goal of going there at least once in my life. Greetings from Australia as well :) keep up the vids man!
That was pretty cool. I like the close and informal nature of it. Though it's super-competitive, it still reflects the motorcycle community's attitude of being there for one another.

Mario Andretti said the 500 was easy. Go straight and hang a left.
Even watching the TT IOM on TH-cam is surreal. So bummed I missed out but maybe next year I'll finally get to see it in person.
Let's make this happen!!!
Loved to go to TT IOM and see it with my eyes, and also make a lap just cruising around the track that should be incredible.
***** You call it a track, but when you get to the Island and start riding the course, it hits you: These are public roads, with houses, pubs and stone walls within kissing distance of the side of the road.

You may want to book now for 2016 if you want to see it...
Enjoyed that, great to see the perspective of the fans not just the riders. Like the idea of no names being shown very good idea. Well done BVG :)
Guy Martin is awesome. Getting good at this interviewing now mate.
Nice Vid Baron, nice to see Steve from Padgetts enjoying it still (steve hodgson). I bought a couple of bikes off him.
TT is an amazing spectacle and there is nothing quite like the silence and stillness of the air whilst waiting for the first bikes to go through.
Love the old chap who lives by the track. And is there a time travelling Ian Hutchinson in this film?
Baron you bring such a personal depth to the TV races that I have yet to see anyone else do. It definitely doesn't show that it was your first year. Looking forward to seeing more of these!!!
It always makes me almost well up asking the older man about his special memories and the look in his eyes when he takes himself back to those fantastic times he had riding the TT
The dude got 4th! I was like OMFG U DID IT! Thats a pro achievement for sure.
Lucky man, must have been such a great experience meeting Guy Martin.
has to be the best vid ive seen this year. really captures on a personal level the spectacle of TT and why its so revered. it appears to be one of the last places where motor sport is still pure and passionate. i envy everyone that has had the opportunity to go.

Good to see Charlie Williams in there too (Wearing sunglasses). 8 TT wins and formula 2 world champion. Hell of a fella.

Outstanding content, BVG. Truly wonderful. Thank you from Oregon!
Wonderful job editing and interviewing!!! Top notch! Loved watching every minute wish it was longer.. Awesome work!
Brilliant composition Baron.
Thankyou for taking the time to do this.
Jimbo
Outstanding. Major appreciation for putting this together and giving those who have never been there an intimate glimpse.
Cracking video baron brings back memories from this year's event. I was mostly up creg na baa watching. Beer, sunshine, bikes brilliant!
guy martin is such a down to earth guy. lol at the questions.
Top of the class for this video. I didn't go to my first TT until 2011 and I kick myself for no going earlier. It is utterly compelling, mad and entertaining, with the bonus being the best playground for motorbikes known to man.

Baron, thank you for sharing this.We can almost feel close to the riders.
Love it! thx mate.

Just know you deserve it & have many people that admire you, support you, and it's always sending you positive energy. Enjoy all your videos & thanks for taking the time to post on your busy schedule. Hope all is well with you and your family. Happy Holidays! Ride safe.... ;)
Thanks for the post. Can't get enough of this TT. I watched Guy Martins crash (2010?, not sure atm) several times, and stillcan't believe he's standing.
I have been eagerly awaiting the next TT vid and it definitely did not disappoint! Great vid Baron, can't wait to go one year! :)
Guy Martin is such a legend. I really hope he gets a TT win before he decides to retire.
Hello Baron, you did a very good job here!! The editing is an official tv channel, UAU! Compliments and thanks for this peculiar view inside the TT and it's heroes.
Bloody Brilliant BvG !!!
Excellent Edit Effort &
Congratulations on this moment...
I know it's been a goal of urs...and most never
get to grasp their dreams like this !!!
I'll be watching your Euro-series
over these Holidays, again.
Bravo !!!
I live your videos so bloody much Baron. They are so entertaining and premium quality. Much love from Finland.
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks BvG for your work in creating this video.
This was a very good enjoyable watch. You conveyed the essence of the event and it's people without just focusing on the bikes themselves.
I've never really watched that much TT but I've heard how crazy it was and scene some race footage. lovely to see the real community side of it, everything behind it. loved this vid man.
Better than most Isle of Man TT 'Documentaries' on youtube. Great Video man!!
Baron you are awesome mate. I am very envious of how far you have made this TH-cam thing go for yourself. You are an awesome interviewer; not like some of the regular TV presenters out there. Keep it up mate.
Baron, the time spent to edit this was well worth it! The only downside is I can only hit the Thumbs Up button once! :D
I need to get to the TT one day... even if to just quietly masturbate in some guys shed while the bikes roar past!!
Damn you're one lucky fella being front row with such legends!!
Lol golden comment.
+AdjrianNickelodeon HAHAHA! Just keep the door closed. Nobody needs to know.
I really love your interviews from the TT, some of the best coverage from the inside I've seen. I could eat at least seven big macs in 20 min, but I am American.
You should do more interviews like this. Was very well put together and professional. Really enjoyed this video!
Careful Baron, can't a glimpse of your bearded jaw around 4 mins, lol, great interviewing and race coverage, Guy Martin is such a character, so down to earth too. Cheers, Paul.
Another great vid as always Baron... Yet to go to the TT myself, but oh my I WILL in the next 2/3 years when I get my bike license.. Immense footage. Great job mate.
DOUBLE BLOODY BRILLIANT!
barron we've all watched TT interviews and stuff but i have to say i think this is one of the best viewings,well done young man.
BvG has quite literally gone pro. So awesome to see you develop from an English bastard on a bike talking about urinating on a computer keyboard to releasing professional content. I do miss those stories though! keep staying awesome!!
Another outstanding TT video by BvG. But oh boy does it make you miss that sound of the bikes ripping past. Hope to see you again soon Isle of man TT.
I'm going to be honest Baron, that was double bloody good :)
Really professional the vid, really loved it even more if that's possible :)
This felt less like a TH-cam video and more like a professional documentary! Top quality videos from the Baron as per usual.
If my life was on the line and Guy Martin was giving me instructions on how to live, I would die. I can't understand a lick he says.
But great video man and loving the beard. #beardreveal
BaronVonBeard
;)
Diefullah!!!! ill translate for ya bro! :D
+Diefullah he said "no champagne and blow jobs for me' among other things
+Diefullah That's a broad Lincolnshire accent for you!
Awesome vid Baron. I swear Guy Martin needs a TH-cam channel of his own. He is a HUGE personality.
One a side note, some great footage and very well put together interviews. You my good sir ***** have a "TV carreer" in the making old chum.
Really enjoyed that dude - felt like I was looking into the future of your TH-cam channel ;)
One of the best TT videos I've seen. Really cool you took the time to do this! And of course thanks for keeping it irreverent as per your usual style ... your interviewees and audience appreciate that.
Your videos get better every time. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for taking the time.
The guy at 0.44 has to be Ian Hutchinson's dad or related
What I was thinking. Looks and sounds like him. salisburyplain998
+Ethan Macfarlane I just came on this to see if anyone had asked already, definitely a massive resemblance to hutchy :P
I had a pint with his cousin last year i was staying in ramsey and he just turned up in the mitre hotel sounds like him and everything
That was hutchys dad
Ha ha. Thought the same. Absolutely HAS to be his Dad.
Fantastic, without doubt your best TT video. Thanks for posting.
Great interviews! Garden peas or mushy peas?? Seriously though, you defo captured the feel of the event and what it means for the riders and fans - good work.
That was amazing. Going to the TT is definitely one of those things on my bucket list. It's a long trip coming from the US but I HAVE to make this happen. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers.
Great video! I went with Motul this year and it was truly special. As the chap said, nothing will ever be like the TT...
Did you see Guy on tv last night...brilliant!
Respect to the man balls deep in rock at 40 seconds in :)
legend 😂😂
legend 😂😂
Ahahaha!! XD
That's where I watched the TT from in 2012 crazy how u listen to the top riders come through there and not back off and it's a massive corner!

Thanks for this great video Baron, really appreciate it.
My gawd that sound
Another fantastic video. My fear for your "Goldwing Era" has dissipated. Got a nice bit of Face Fuzzage there as well Baron!
Terrific video! It gives a really interesting look at the TT, and definitely makes me want to go in the future.
The TT spirit, Love it... Very well captured Mr. Baron
Fantastic video BVG, thank you for a behind the scenes glimpse at the worlds greatest motor event.
Terrific piece BVG... Great perspective on a truly special event.
This is such a great video. Never really had the desire to own a sports bike (More of a cruiser man if anything), but one thing I've always had an interest in it's the TT.

Great video documentary. Really cool to hear the people making it a tradition.
I've worked it out, finally recognised that voice - your David Walliams :-)

Well put together Baron, enjoyed watching.
thanks for all the hard work you are doing. awesome camera work. great edit. you are a legend baron
Well put together, really great to hear what everyone 's got to say, all the humorous banter is what it's all about, brilliant stuff.
I bet . I'm from South Carolina U S A . I would love to be able to go see the TT one day . I think it is just crazy what those guys are doing on bikes. May God be with them & the people of that island
Thanks for this! Really nice insight into the world of the TT, enjoyed it muchly.
Took you bloody long enough. It's brilliant!
Update, the sweet old man just had an official corner named after him. It’s now called Harold’s corner.
Awesome! You are really growing as a journalist. I'd like to see some on screen text tho, you know? Like the names of the interviewees and locations.
I just saw this for the first time. I go to IOM in a month. Can't wait!
Great v'log mate, to hear the views from different people & now you've got the bug to go back, it's a lovely place to visit eh? ; )
Watched most of your videos Baron but not watched this one til now. Back from this years TT (2015), amazing, as ever, we go to Gorse Lea every year. I think you need to go back there and do a follow up on the selection of cakes available - currently for me and the lads its the Lemon Drizzle which is up there at the top, plus if you stand on the shipping crate that's set back a little you can also get a good view if the cobblestone wall is full!
Bravo Baron, fantastic video and well worth the wait. :)
Going next year, cannot wait. Nice video buddy well edited worth the wait.
I do believe that was a lawn mower, not a tractor. But I could be mistaken.
+SuprA 44 Chuckle.
Issues need to be addressed, well spotted, well said.
dat speed doe…
seriously, these guys have cajones the size of Texas, pure insanity…incredible
great video too as always B.
Brilliant video! Catches the spirit of the TT perfectly:)
One of the coolest motorcycle videos I have ever seen!
I must say well done on this video! I love all your videos, but the way you've edited and got the interviews etc., it was different but different in a good way!
Thanks for the great video. Goosebumps my friend.. Goosebumps!!
Excellent reporting, I like how you focused on the regular people at the event. Very nice!
yes b v g got to the island at last better late than never welcome
My Dad went out there this year unfortunately I couldn't join him, I hope I can go with him next year only he's facing the predicament of whether to go the the British MotoGP or the TT so we'll see. Great vid Baron well worth the wait, mate!
no comparison. TT every time
BaronVonGrumble yeah! Seeing the TT is now off my checklist, now I need to see some top fuel bikes.
So much respect for the racers. That level of commitment and skill is amazing!!! Great video Baron. You getting to do the interviews was awesome as well. XD Ride safe
Great video BVG best story i have ever seen on the TT
Awesome video man! I definitely want to fulfill my goal of going there at least once in my life. Greetings from Australia as well :) keep up the vids man!
That was pretty cool. I like the close and informal nature of it. Though it's super-competitive, it still reflects the motorcycle community's attitude of being there for one another.
Holy shit, goosebumps everywhere. Thanks for this video, can't wait to go there one day
One of your best videos yet Baron...
Great film of such a special event.
Thank you.
Great vid Baron...but if that grey haired gent with the Monster jumper isn't Ian Hutchinson's father, then call me Flobward!
