Not a bike fan in the slightest, but this is always brilliant to watch. These guys are just made of different stuff. Incredible skill and bravery. Peter Hickman Lap Record from last year. Davey Todd (camera in the helmet) from this year. One of the best onboard views of the TT I've seen.
Only watched 2nd vid but, absolutely knock-out - obviously helmet cam gives a different perspective to eyes but still brilliant. Was on ferry from Portsmouth (6 June) to Santander (8 June) and there were 7/8 Spanish bikers on there wearing TT T-shirts; they looked fit enough to be enthusiasts. There were also 50+ U.K. bikers - but (not being negative) they were in the 60+ age bracket and I think they were on the "Vuelta Moto de España" trip, I expect. Good luck to them
All my old mates are Bikers, and I went over there with them sometime in the mid to late 1989s. It’s incredible racing but very unforgiving when errors are made. A couple of Riders we saw that year died in the next 2 years. It’s expensive though, including the ferry over
yes been a few times to watch the racing its mind blowing when watching them. no fear what so ever. if you haven't been over the water to the isle of man its a beautiful idyllic place with a great places to visit and amazing things to see and do. me and the good wife and a few friends will be travelling to the isle of man to ride along them same roads but not at the speeds the TT riders travel at. yes have to say the ferry crossings are expensive
I've been to the Isle of Man but not seen the TT. I think I'll have to go though, my brother is a big bike fan so I'll drag him with me.
Seen a lot of the on board ones but the 2nd one is the first one to show how bumpy a ride it is, which shouldn't be surprising given it's a road race, but just cazy at those speeds.
I was over this year for the first time. It’s an amazing spectacle where you watch it so close to the action and totally in awe of the skill and fearlessness of the riders. We watched from lots of different places but nothing prepares you for the speed and noise of the first bike past. It feels like a step back in time where health and safety is a thing of the future. This year no deaths but some pretty horrific injuries to a couple of riders. I had the pleasure of taking my car round the circuit for a few laps and on the mountain section it’s one way with no speed limit. Fair to say it’s a bit bonkers coming over there, I was doing well in to three figures with bikes flying past. It is probably the friendliest event I’ve ever been to. Going back next year.
