The Senior race isn't age related. It's the most powerful bikes. I thought is was older guys but kept seeing people who either looked extremely good for their age or I had it wrong. You two are fun!
The thing that terrifies me about that race is the fact that there are basically no proper racing track style run off areas. You are either into a wall, into someone’s front garden or into a ditch…
And then there is the story of the Guy that parted company with the Bike . Bike ended up in a Pub Carpark and the Rider , an Irishman , ended up sliding in through the Front Door of said Pub , coming to a halt just in front of the Bar . Stood up , looked around and then Ordered a Guiness . Needless to say , Hilarity ensued .
That is a serious race. We have a go man, Guy Martin, who used to race it, and he has smashed every bone in his body. He said that it is a real challenge to race it because no 2 laps are the same. Great reaction.
I used to race professional UCI World Cup downhill mountain biking for about 15 years, retired in 2010. We would race down mountains all over the world, as fast as we possibly could, on a bicycle, and you are NEVER fast enough. You got used to going through corners like these and trusting your suspension settings for the g out at the bottom, and your mechanics for setting it up how you like it, but we were going maybe 30-40 mph max in the open sections and 5-20mph in the rock gardens, speeds like that. That being said, there is absolutely no way that I would do these speeds!!! I would trust myself and get used to it to a degree, but not to these life gambits anymore, and I do not possess that skillset that these riders have in the least. Just mind blowing every, single time I watch it.
I'm a fell runner (it's a UK version of mountain running where we go up and down steep and technical mountain trails) so quite often find myself passing (on the ascents) or being passed (on the descents) by mtb riders, coming down when you get one going full pelt it's pretty terrifying, especially when you can hear then coming before you can se them when there's zero visibility! It's always fun though and lots of banter, especially when running past them on the uphill.
The Isle of Man TT is something special. First recorded race is 1907. One of the best documentaries to explain it is "Closer to the Edge" filmed over the 2010 TT and introduces some of the biggest names - and a couple of horrific crashes. Hairpin bends to speeds well over 200mph. The 37.73 mile lap record currently stands at 136.358mph AVERAGE speed by Peter Hickman in 2023. Currently stands at 258 recorded deaths of competitors - but spectators and "mad Sunday" bike riders have died plenty of times.
Senior in UK sports means the very best elite at their peak racers, so that's the main race, I used to be a track athlete and they use the term senior too for their main races, I still race xc for fun in the winter as a Vet50+ and there's 8 races during a full day's racing covering all ages and abilities, but the main race of the day with all the best at their peak racers is the senior race in the mid afternoon.
"You'd have to have been racing for a long time, before you try that.". And, quite often, not even then. The famous Valentino Rossi ducked out. And, of course, absolutely the greatest possible respect to him for doing so and for all his amazing accomplishments, and equal respect to those who do choose to race in the IoM TT and similar events. Losing one's life round this circuit (not even in a race, necessarily) is alarmingly likely, and one is never in full control (e.g. someone else's bike may have dropped oil). The organisers at least know for sure that the participants understand the dangers, and the limits on the safety measures should one lose control, fall off, etc.
The guys hair wasn’t blown off by the speed it was pulled off with a string, staged. You can see it being pulled from the bottom in the slow motion footage.
Onbashira Festival in Suwa, Nagano, Japan. Held once every 6 years, this festival celebrates the bringing of huge logs from Mt. Yatsugatake to the shrine. = You could watch this because its mad
Even on the race track your not as close to the passing bikes! You can feel the heat and pressure as the pass it's unbelievable how much you feel and the excitement!!!!
Senior TT refers to the bike: Any machine complying with the following specifications: TT Superbike: (Machines complying with the 2012 FIM Superbike and Supersport Championships specifications) (Over 750cc up to 1000cc 4 cylinders 4-stroke) (Over 750cc up to 1000cc 3 cylinders 4-stroke) (Over 850cc up to 1200cc 2 cylinders 4-stroke)[
Them old houses are 2ft thick stone walls so they ain't moving anywhere if you hit one, even if you hit one at that speed you would probably only have to do a bit of pointing up to fix the wall but you and the bike would just disintegrate.
The human beings who enter the Isle of Mann TT are engaged in a psychological battle. The biking skills required are beyond the highest humanly possible, but what separates these riders, is the mental strength to participate in an activity where instant death can occur at any moment, in a race where, not by any stretch of the imagination, are the variables that decide life or death under your control. If people played Russian roulette with live rounds, you would always get crowds who would come to watch, and in some ways this is a bit like that, but I suppose the immense skill involved, puts it into a proper sporting groove, but still you have to question, if nobody came to watch/no video/TV coverage, would all thees riders still do it?
You wouldn't want to be working night's, the do have officials who literally walk the track several times to make sure that every little stone or pebble is removed and over the years several spectators have been killed as well as the bikers, bless them all.
Been to watch a few time and ridden it in the 80s and I have to say I have no idea how they memorise the course. I was a keen rider but completely pedestrian in comparison . Peter Hickman a TT winner has his workshop where I live
Last year (I think) one of the guys of the 44 Teeth channel lost his leg in the TT. He wasn’t even in the fastest category. You have to have a certain mindset to be able to even try it.. I know I never would.
They may have motorcycle racing in Canada, well to be honest most countries have some form of motor sport, but this right here? This is unique, there is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. If memory serves, the amount of people who have died in this race over the years works out to 3 per year on average. It really is no holds bard when it comes to the rules on speed and safety, ultimately they give you free reign so its up to you how much you wanna risk on the day. Same goes for the spectators, you know the risks when you go :)
2 videos I urge you to watch P Hickman (lap record holder) onboard video during practice - - - - it'll make you wince M Higgins in a Subaru car, pretty good commentary - - - - - hope to hell he doesn't work for Uber!!!!
Has nothing to do with racing but check out Alex Honnold free solo. These guys have all the turns memorized and counted out if that makes sense. Same with Alex Free solo climbing different routes.
most of these clips are in Ireland on Irish and north of ireland roads not all are isle of man clips theres 3 tracks on Irish roads 1 north and 2 south
You can buy exotic car by selling one of this bike. Because that much cost to maintain those bikes. Not typical version of those bikes. They push there limits on those bike to get most out of them.also those jumps not easy to handle because they have to push bike down to back in ground or bike will flew off .
it is 37and three quarter miles around all on regular roads senior is size of the motor bike engine and the walls are real rock speeds of over 200 mph ed it has been running for over 100 years and it started to prove you motor cycle was reliable back then. 40 S 0f Vegas
If you want some commentary on British Sports you must not neglect that commentary by the late Brian Johnston and the Leg Over ( a British term meaning `to have sex ) incident in a great British Cricket Match. It will make your belly ache with laughter.
Loiter and lose the race. If you enter this game you`ve got to take a bottle with you. Me ? I get scared on aircraft which seem to drift slowly above, the earth below. It is only when I get closer to the ground that I realise there`s a nut case on my machine.
@@bradlucy That's good; I'll look out for that. I felt you were enjoying it but that you had given up on it after you went on to other things, and it's been a while since the last one.
Another video to confuse the masses. Lots and lots of races here that are NOT IOM. Irish road racing being well represented in these clips. Can't you guys read captions?
The TT is the greatest/deadliest race on the entire planet nothing on four wheels or traditional two wheel track comes no where close to the TT!!! I've been to the Isle & witnessed with my own eyes... everything else is clowns 🤡 childs play, sorry smh... Men come here to race for the history, tradition & prestige of being the elite.

Imagine hitting 218mph on a bike. Terrifying. These riders are nutcases. But it is an utterly thrilling event, no two ways about it.
Fastest I've ever gone on two wheels was 137mph and that was only in a straight line, that was faster than I was comfortable with.

Ya, when I was producing the slow motion clip I realized that 😁
The headphones makes that big red hair look like cockerspaniel ears 😊
Guy crashed and broke his back, pelvis and other multiple fractures and still came back to race later after he recovered.
Onbashira Festival in Suwa, Nagano, Japan. Held once every 6 years, this festival celebrates the bringing of huge logs from Mt. Yatsugatake to the shrine. = You could watch this because its mad
Since 1937 there has only been one year where there were no fatalities in the IoMTT. The worst year was 2005, with 11 deaths.
Around 2 or 3 competitors die every year. It’s incredible. They have around a 1 in 100 chance of death. Nuts
Even on the race track your not as close to the passing bikes! You can feel the heat and pressure as the pass it's unbelievable how much you feel and the excitement!!!!
On the streets animals occasionally come out of nowhere and that’s a constant danger too.

(Over 850cc up to 1200cc 2 cylinders 4-stroke)[
I do remember that first video, where Lucy told Brad, "Shut up, I'm driving!"
Senior doesn't mean elderly people, it's the "Senior" i.e. major race of the week.

Guys watch the on board Peter Hickman lap.
These riders , got to admire them balls of steel,one mistake can mean death . unfortunately many have been killed.
Northwest 200 , this w/end..or next weekend .Portrush/Port Stewart.....radio coverage is really exciting if you can't get the full coverage!
Have you seen the clip where the bloke flies over a hump-back bridge at 150mph straight into the side of a house? Amazing.
The Stadium , is where the Race starts
It takes around three years to learn the TT track..no just the corners but where you need to be on the road when taking them…it’s crazy
The pub wall at 4.12 Unfortunately riders have ploughed into it at massive speeds with fatal results.
Been to watch a few time and ridden it in the 80s and I have to say I have no idea how they memorise the course. I was a keen rider but completely pedestrian in comparison . Peter Hickman a TT winner has his workshop where I live
"Senior" refers to the motorcycle series, not the person riding the bike. LOL
I'm not trying to be mean; I just thought it was a bit amusing.
Last year (I think) one of the guys of the 44 Teeth channel lost his leg in the TT. He wasn’t even in the fastest category.

4:33 kinda Guy Martin looking fella..?
Try to get an onboard camera video of the TT, and hold on to the chair lol.
5:49 when Brad watches irl
In the Raven brigde (the name of the brigde it's ballaugh) diee a rider some years ago (the video of the crash is in TH-cam)
try the clip of a cam on the bike, its insane.
_Stay on the grey bit_
Will you be doing a 'crashes' video?
👌👍✌️
Yes definitely
Has nothing to do with racing but check out Alex Honnold free solo. These guys have all the turns memorized and counted out if that makes sense. Same with Alex Free solo climbing different routes.
My boyfriends obsessed with Isle of Man TT 😅it’s crazy the speed they go at 😮
Do'nt know if ya'v heard of the "Cerne Abbas Giant", worth looking for if you hav'ent seen it. Just as "uplifting" as this ..maybe more so.
most of these clips are in Ireland on Irish and north of ireland roads not all are isle of man clips theres 3 tracks on Irish roads 1 north and 2 south
The Isle of Man has no speed limits on its roads
Not true. There is no speed limit on the mountain but normal UK speed limits in the towns and villages.
@@stevet7695 apologies - I should believe everything I hear
No you shouldn't.@@davenunn7259

You guys crack me up
Watch Peter Hickman chin cam lap you will get a Birds Eye view of a full lap
And next the Isle of Man TT crash compilation?
it is such a scary space but its been established for a long time
Great clip guys 😮

A week of practice precedes a week of racing. It's a 32 mile circuit, and they need to precisely remember every bend and bump.
37 miles
Raced there back in the late 60s and 70s fantastic time mind you back then the road was not as good had to miss manhole covers in the road
The on board cams are even more frightening.
If you want some commentary on British Sports you must not neglect that commentary by the late Brian Johnston and the Leg Over ( a British term meaning `to have sex ) incident in a great British Cricket Match. It will make your belly ache with laughter.

Look up Guy Marin TT crash 🥴 he also lives local
If you get chance bob scross the pond on isle of man TT week youll love it guys 👍😎💥
One person a year dies racing on this track😢
Just over 136 mph was the fastest average speed in the TT race. But, the highest single speeds on the straights don't count.
Awesome guys 🙏
Now for something completely different: Are there any more reactions to 'Time gentlemen please', please?
Yes, got one coming
@@bradlucy That's good; I'll look out for that. I felt you were enjoying it but that you had given up on it after you went on to other things, and it's been a while since the last one.
Haha Lucy’s reactions are the same as mine 🥴😂
All it takes is a rock making it into the track, or a little oil, and you are DEAD
Nope Canada does not do that on public roads to much danger for People buildings homes . Tracs have safety mesures for the fan.
Coming to a Suburban Street near you , soon...............................................
Another video to confuse the masses. Lots and lots of races here that are NOT IOM. Irish road racing being well represented in these clips.
Can't you guys read captions?
lol
Ave speed 136mph - but there are sections where they get up to 200mph
nice to see a BTS perspective, you're both so professional otherwise 🤪
even on .5 playback speed I blinked and missed
so anxiety inducing lol htf do they do it?
