True Grit right there.

Hell get it this week number one like his dad and uncle

Michael is amazing

Not to mention set a superbike lap record!

MotoGP are the best

0:00:15.1 off the win. Insane.

​@@ragereset2795Which motorcycle was he using? I don't know the models

​@@Ksov919 honda cbr1000 rr-r fireblade

totally agree, you could see harrison doing it in the pit too, no point fiddling with visors, fresh helmet with no sweat is better also, just devastating for MD

Arai total crap

@@static3032b2t 👍 I agree!!! I believe MD will take this in stride and move on. Those people on his team are family to him, he will forgive, but hopefully eliminate the visor change!!!

Anyone who has changed a visor on a Arai helmet can feel this frustration

@@jamesmcdonald6047 he will of course but you can see his frustration, his arms were shaking like mad, watching bikes go by as he shook his head, bloody awful feeling. Anyway, Looking forward to the next races! 🔥🔥🔥

He wasn't even in the mix.

Which motorcycle was he using?

It's easy

@@TrulyUniqueOne OK. Tell that to Michael Dunlop.

Had Bell, Shoei, a few others. For me it's always 10 minutes of swearing at the kitchen table.

Couldn't agree with you more @notdreadyet33.... anyone who says its easy has probably never owned an Arai...or sells them

The visor system on mine never worked properly it eventually broke and was flapping about loose. The bloke in the shop ,Bridge in Exeter, said it was a well known nightmare and kept a stock of replacement bits and fixed it with the new better system for a donation to the coffee break fund. It's now better than new.

Someone not locking in the visor isn't Arai's fault. They're fantastic helmets.

@@M2fiftycalbut the worst visor attaching system

Arai deserve to be outed for their useless fiddly design. Total garbage

​@@M2fiftycal Do you work at Arai marketing? 😉 No matter what happened, but it is an Arai helmet and it caused MD6 to finish 4th although he was flying around the mountain course.

HEE HEE HEE HEE! J.C.

I have a arai helmet them side quads are a shit design i struggle every time i clean mine to get it back together

Yes you could tell he wasn’t blaming his pit crew by the way he shouted “Dickheads!” 😂

I would normally agree except this time the visor guy had messed up once and had to fix it, then messed up the same side again, he should have took a moment or two to make sure it was secure

His crew has him 25 wins. He won’t be too angry

He’s got the best visor guy in the business, sometimes Arai just does an Arai moment. I’ve been 5 mins before getting mine right. Just unlucky.

first time its happened .. so you jump on the band wagon with something you cant prove

@@patthewoodboy Or its the first time you have see it

I posted it first you goon

How have Arai let him down? It was the gobshite in the pit who let him down.

sorry the guy that put the visor on in the pits might have to own up to this one . was bad coming out of the pits .. , feel so bad for MD

YEP! J.C. Age 74 Rider since 1966

It was nothing to do with the Arai the guy who changes the visor at pits never put the side cap on the helmet they left it dangling. If you know the system (which works for everyone else no problem) you know that the visor being wobbly when he went to stop was him doing that himself out of anger or whatever the reason he himself fully yanked up the visor which when you have the sideplates off will dislodge that end of the visor. Im not criticising him to much as im a huge fan but on RX7V helmets if the side cap is damaged or not fitted correctly and dangling about on its tether tapping at the helmet 100000 times a second you rip it off and forget about it and keep the visor in its locked or fog opened latch gap setting which is achieved by pushing the visor open lever up once to allow it to cam out into the fog position which again still locks the visor in place even if the end of the visor is totally dislodged on that side. It was the pit guys fault buy Michael has over reacted to the noises and never needed to stop just pull the visor shut over the opener lever arm and rip the sideplate off. Hope this explains how it all works. Its just unfortunate tbh

@@JimWhitesRolledUp20note *I've owned a lot of motorcycle helmets, including off-road helmets in my days. I grew up on Crotch Rockets (Suzuki GSXR1000, being one of them) and having a very good helmet is a must. I was always riding at almost 200 mph and if you lift your chin up a little too high, LOL, let's just say, you're not going to be able to see for a moment until you slow down and pull your helmet down. Just one of many funny moments I've had while riding at that speed.*

​@@radicalrick9587yeah see the older original RX7 lids i think they were the first helmet to ever have the chin guard and netting bit around them that stopped the air rush under the helmet. One of my favourite lids ever was the old original Quantum F, i done everything great and because it was near enough round it felt like a bowling ball was a nice lid.. It was bad for what you say though it had too big a gap between the mouth guard and your neck so would naturally want to go upwards at the front round about 160mph. These days that aint happening on a top end lid they are better fitted at the forehead and less break in movement in the modern foams and general aero has eradicated it mostly. Even helmets around the £250 mark you wont get it rising on you unless you got the wrong size shell or cheek pads too small. Every new helmet i get i make sure it feels like it will give me a slight headache the first time. They all give out a good 10% on the first use

@@JimWhitesRolledUp20note *That's true, I remember that. You've got to let your head be that baseball that breaks in the helmet like a good mit.

Change to Shoei...... much better

Arai are the best helmets. Forget that shoei shite. The new visor system is brilliant but more suited to road riders. Nobody has ever had this issue with the “old” system. But the old system wasn’t good for road riders. That’s the way it is now. Unless you have the new system helmet you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. So many negative helmet comments. Obviously by ignorant people. The new system is brilliant but it wasn’t designed to be a 20 second TT pit stop visor swap. As mentioned it’s easier to swap helmets and even the old system wasn’t as quick or simple as a lid swap.

@@chrisb212 even the old style were bad for TT and fiddly for road riders. It’s well known that the job of changing an arai visor in the TT pits is the one job that none of the crew wanted to do

​@@davidtomkins4242utter drivel i supply the helmets. What you just said is drivel, i know exactly whos systems cause issues

​@@davidtomkins4242Which motorcycle was he using?

Which motorcycle was he using? Tem

It's a 2 step process it's simple

@@TrulyUniqueOne Nothing is simple when you're up against the clock at a race of this level of prestige. And even people like Nigel here - bloody loads of them - have complained about the Arai quick-change visor mechanism.

@@bad-girlbex3791 I saw exactly what the guy did on TV he put one side of the visor in the flipped it up and down, both sides have to be slotted in the visor can be opened, it's just panic at the end of the day I guess they didn't want him to lose

@@TrulyUniqueOne Yep. In a high stakes racing environment panic means nothing is as simple as it might otherwise be under zero pressure. Add to that a piece of kit that annoys the tits off of thousands of riders/racers out there, and it's a recipe for disaster. (Arai don't fit my weird head shape anyway, so I'll never have to worry about it personally. But if both customers and racers at the top of their game are finding it an annoying faff, it might be worth Arai at least listening to any feedback they're getting.)

​@@bad-girlbex3791loads compain about every sysyem its a quick release system so please, I provide the things and know that every one of them you need to know the process or its a footer fest. These others that complained can you link them please?

right so you know nothing about this then? His visor guy in the pits never even put the visor on he slapped it on, it fell off then he slapped it on again. Absoultely no attempt to locate the visor he would have messed up any visor system. There is footage of it so its not really up for dispute. Michael also blamed them listen to him in the footage.

Which motorcycle was he using?

@@Ksov919 junk bmw

He's on mode 'pure determination' from years now and the only one that I noticed, that don't ask publicity but still gets it like other top boys, by just doing his JOB as he says. He will get another win, and he is fast,like really fast 😃

​@@unrelatedpopcornfire1968 They were talking about the person who screwed up on the helmet.

@@robertshunter That was clear to me. And 27th win Today!!! Bull becomes a GOAT!

Even Hicky said he was gifted the win, in different words

Yeh thought so they are all genuine people, no bull.

Hicky did say he was lucky today, aye. Said he was gifted it pretty much but that mistakes happen and that he's lost races due to things in the past too so he'll take it! (Fair enough really)

Yeh im sure MD has had a few of those too. He was on fire today though very smooth like mcginness at his peak.

BELL STAR! J.C.

​@@375GTBBell arent remotely on par with Arai. I sell bell too they good but not the best

but Shoei have that stupid strap lock!

agv

I think it's good in terms of seal and security but very fiddly, honestly I don't think it's a good idea to change arai visors in a rush.

I have Shoei helmets & they can be a sod too ! Keep it easy ,just change the whole helmet !!

@@garymurphy5133 I fold up a small rubber band on the D-ring strap side and tuck the tag end into it.

Hickman has mastered riding around in 4th, are you joking he's the fastest man on the planet

Yeah, I think he's got a few more strings to his bow than "just hovering around 4th & waiting" FFS. That kind of approach only makes any sense if you're looking at a straightforward circuit race where everyone sets off at the same time together, and can see what's going on around them. These guys on the TT course are racing against the clock first and foremost. They aren't always aware of exactly where everyone else is, or who's losing or gaining seconds here and there. Hickman pulled off an insane lap record around the course last year...and it wasn't only a lap record, he had various records at different points around the clock AND clocked the highest speed on the course. This course ain't Snetterton, bro. You aren't in Cadwell anymore. This course is a whole different ball game. A game where Dunlop and Hickman are both at the very top.

Yeah looks like he slapped it shut and didnt check

He never closed the visor to locate the brass dowel. If you know this system you know that you need to close it briefly to fully locate both sides before putting the caps on. Even putting the caps on hes not hung the top and pressed the bottom just a whack😂 The guy would have messed up anyone who let him near their own helmets day that day. He was paid specifically to fit that and knows the system but just ignored the lot

but it wasnt fitted right there is footage of the pit guy not attaching one side😂 Whats that got to do with the manufacturer reliability? Thats ljke blaming a car manufacturer for needing a new door coz you left one open and it ripped off.

theres some footage of the pit guy he completely forgot to go back to that side hes put the visor over looking at the side he forgot, then went directly to the other side and secured that, then basically hung that other sideplate on and slapped it. Hes not even bothered lining that side up. Bit ridiculous tbh especially as he had one job. You know that Arai system and know how it works hes basically done the motions to fit it all as one rather than individual sides, then rather than do what you need to do when fitting it all as one quickly and physically shut the visor so it self-locates.. hes basically not done that part and started fitting it a side at a time and forgot about the other side😂 The guy knows the system too so no idea why hes chose to deviate

Love Hutchy to bits. A certified TT legend, and I don't think his 5 in a week will ever be beat. Absolute testament to the human spirit of never giving in. I'd love to see Hutchy win another.

​@@NiSiochainGanSaoirsehe's past it now

@@TrulyUniqueOne nah, see what happens next year. He’s recovered from a stroke this last year so can’t be expected to be top step again straight away. He’ll be a force again out there.

@@NiSiochainGanSaoirse The new format with more bigger races may allow it to be unfortunately. However when there were just five big races in 2010, that clean sleep was epic. If someone does five (Dunlop might this week?) it might be revered as equally as good but it won’t be in my opinion.

@@TheRiderGuider nope

sounds horrible with the teathered side caps and feels footery if you try to overfit them. If you are used to just roughly chucking them on where you think they might line up then physically shut the visor it auto-locates. You can actually be way out and it still locates if you shut the visor. From then you hang the top of the sidecap up first it self locates and hangs the sideplate at the right place for you to press the bottom into the phsical lock. If learned properly its brilliant, if you dont learn it and the type of person that gets annoyed when they hear plastic noises and tries to force stuff on before reading the instructions then any quick release system isnt for you.

i sell the things ive only had three back in total for damaged mechanisms since the RX7V came out 😂 All three admitted they force fitted it before learning how it works. If you broke 3 back to back you offically on your own broke more than Scotlands 4th biggest helmet outlet hahaha Congrats🎉 I do know what you mean though as far as how it looks so footery and the teathered side caps ting against the helmet so it has a distinct "annoyance" to it shall we say. However you are missing what a lot of others do in that you dont need to fully locate the visor on refitment you can just put it roughtly over where the red dot is near the brass pin and simply pull the visor down and it automatically self locates. From there you push the side caps on from the top so they will slide about briefly as long as you are applying pressure at the top they will find home and you can hear and feel it, from there you simply press the bottom of them quickly and it will automatically click the lock in and the lever then shoots back out. Very easy but i do appreciate what people are saying about it being footery feeling and sounds horrible

Yes the camera points aren't very good.. needs more cameras around the Course for sure. I wont be purchasing again.. Very dissapointing the race/track footage has been very poor.. 👍
