    my biggest flex is both my parents have raced in the isle of man
  • @mintspyz
    Let's not forget that Peter Hickman broke the lap record again this year (2023) with a 136.358mph lap.... Mind boggling
  • @20Unknown
    I can't believe he is JUST FINALLY making a video on the TT!!! I've been watching this race for the past 15 years.
  • @dnatal09
    This motorsport is considered the most dangerous of all racing and sports, you must be dedicated to set the fastest time or speed and greet death as an old friend when youre behind the wheel. More than a hundred died on the annual race. These racers are the bravest and has the balls to defy their limits in speed. This is why i respect and loved watching this sport 😊❤
  • @chewytraverso
    Can't believe you left the younger Dunlop brothers out. Michael is great on the course, and William died on another.
  • @iNFiN3
    Not mentioning Michael Dunlop while doing Joey and Robert is a crime, the nephew of Joey is just 1 win short ot tieing his uncles record and becomming the greatest ever, also was the first rider to record a 130MPH lap on a 600cc bike.
  • The bikes have to be modded to reduce as much weight as possible the counter the weight of these dudes massive balls
  • @johncody2422
    been riding for a while..ive always respected a supersport inline-4 600cc and liter bikes...racing through the isle of man at full throttle is just insane ...
  • @phil4986
    Outstanding video. The true champions of the Isle of Mann TT are the absolutely wonderful people who live there and resist the entire worlds efforts to stop their incredible invitation to all supremely talented motorcycle riders, from all over the world, to display their courage. I thank them for so perfectly showing what courage looks like. Those Isle Of Mann people are truly one of a great kind of people. Peter Hickman, this year, redid the fastest lap ever done at the Isle of Mann TT. It is on YouTube. It is the most insanely technically perfect street racing laps of any street course I have ever seen. Bravo Peter Hickman and the unbelievably fast BMW 1000 he is riding.
  • @stevec6427
    Michael and William Dunlop deserved a mention as well. Nephews of the great Joey Dunlop. Michael is now equal with Joey on 26 TT wins. William sadly passed away racing on the Island. Carl Foggarty was another rider with multiple WSB titles and TT wins. Our Lord an saviour Rossi rode a couple laps of the course and declared it too crazy for him and expressed his great respect for all those brave and talented enough to race. They're all crazy and it's essential TV viewing for me. We get great coverage of the event on British TV
  • @bbbbb816
    Though there are many great races around the world the Isle of Man is the greatest test of man and machine. It is on my bucket list.
  • Thanks for making this video. It’s surprising that most of the big motorcycle YouTubers don’t have a video explaining the TT.
  • @brinkee7674
    I can't believe he didn't mention my Guy even once. Guy Martin has done it all, Guy Martin Proper has some great videos in India, China, Russia, Japan, Chernobyl and others
  • First time visit to the TT this year, what a wonderful week, crazy lying in a grass verge within touching distance of bikes passing at near 200mph, Dunlop Hickey n Harrison smashed it, cant wait to return in a couple of years.
  • Glad you finally chose to cover this, it’s the best bike race in the world. 🙌
  • @billkenney422
    I think these riders experience time on a different level then us mortals. I realize it’s practice, practice, practice, but geeeeeze.
  • It’s been massive in the UK for years and years! Thanks to gas monkey and people like that it’s going over to you guys in the US! You have to go and witness it for yourselves it’s breathtaking live😊
  • Going over with your bike is something else. Great craic. Mad Sunday is something else.
