I think the TT is a great place for new comers to enter and learn about racing. It's an easy not too aggressive course that's welcoming to beginners and newbies.
I think James is now my favorite guy on the internet, he's even got his own own made up west country words "documentated" and eats spam sandwiches......legend.
What a stunningly prepped bike, looks great. Part of me really regrets walking away from racing having never done a real roads race. Everyone I've known who did, said it was the best thing they did. All the very best for the TT. Bike racing pilgrimage.
for phuks sake mahn!!! That is some serious attention to detail!!! I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and I am a glad I did. You two guys are the embodiment of moto enthusiasts turned professionals~ Thanks for making these videos !!!
Good luck Al. Bike looks good, you sound calm and reasonably confident, obviously first time jitters in. As you said, learning the track is the name of the game for the first year. Just take it all in from a riders point of view.
Oh bloody hell, I just spent a good hour explaining the significance of suzuki bringing back the sv650 in the US to some youngins. Here watch this. Great vid!
My buddy went down on his bike yesterday. Fractured ribs and a broken collar bone. He's a big fan of your channel and has been listening to the TT commentary on his phone here in the States. I know you're very busy, but if you see this comment and have a minute would you leave maybe a get well soon comment under one of his videos or on Instagram at RicViperMoto. Much appreciated and understandable if you're unable to get to it. Best of luck in the TT.
this is where dreams come true hopefully we see lots more videos on your TT experience a daily vlog would be nice. best of luck and hopefully you get a finish medal
Good luck! Looks like a sweet bike. I used to own an SV650 and I miss it. Awesome torquey motor that belies it's HP numbers. I've got a liter bike now, but it doesn't have the bottom end grunt of the 650 still.
That's my usual ride, interesting choice. The Gladius instrument cluster only has a light for low fuel level, not a full indicator. Did they add one on, or is that even a consideration in that field of racing?
best of luck at the TT...i'll be there too and give you a wave when you pass.....bike looks the dogs balls and the gsxr water cooled swinger suits it....happy racing mate.
Thanks for the information on what rules are for 1st timers. Bloody alot of work. Good luck on the TT. Don't forget to make a video of that 44teeth. That pipe may drag if you lean it way over. Either way....good luck mate.
Awesome bike, the tank thing seems kind of crazy, never knew of such things. Also really like the odd mix of Suzuki parts to build the bike. Fair play you can ride a bike like demon but still takes got some big kahunas to ride the IOM TT. Best of luck!

Fool!

I could watch hours of guys sitting around talking shop about bikes. Simply not enough of these kinds of videos out there.
