IOM resident here 👋🏼 Joey Dunlop (the greatest rider at the TT ever with 26 wins) is Michael Dunlops uncle, Michael won a race on monday on 1 of the lightweight bikes & would have won 1 today if he hadn't had engine problems. There is also a Robert & William Dunlop who have both sadly been killed along with Joey. The TT would be nowhere near as popular without the Dunlops. They really did make it a family thing over here on the isle of man.

I've heard that a lot of racers do it not for the money or glory, but to know that they've entered, raced survived and won the hardest oldest race in the world.

Please avoid the Crash videos as some have fatalities. They have been put up by awful people with no respect for the families. We have lost 3 people this week, one of whom is my good friend. Thanks for approaching this reaction with respect

Joey Dunlop was Micheal Dunlop's uncle. Joey died road racing as did Joey's brother Robert, Michael's dad and William Dunlop Michael's brother. They lie together in the same graveyard.

The great man Joey Dunlop said the secret winning the Isle of Man TT is to go slow as possible and the person he was talking to said you were doing 205 mile an hour that’s how slow I had to go to Win true story and a great hero of mine. Michael

The speed of the bikes often appears sped up, on footage, but it is just how fast they go. It's insane but very entertaining to watch.

3 racers have so far been killed in the TT this year, Mark Purslow in qualifying last week, Davy Morgan on Monday and on Saturday the driver of a sidecar Cesar Chanal was killed and his passenger airlifted to hospital. The accident involving the sidecar has been very strange, it was initially announced that the passenger Olivier Lavorel died at the scene and the driver taken to hospital but has since been announced that this was mistaken identity. Edit: 5 in total died this year, the friday in sidecars father and son Roger and Bradley Stockton died in an accident. Still no news of Olivier Lavorel, and apparently there is another rider in a critical condition.

Have you guys seen there has been 3 deaths of racing drivers at Isle of man TT this week

As of June 10th 2022 it’s incredibly sad to report that this year’s races at the Isle Of Mann has claimed another 5 lives of competitors, 2022’s fatalities second only to 1970 when 6 perished. Two of these fatalities were a father and son, the dad a veteran of the sport aged 56 and his son in his second season was just 21, they were competing in the sidecar competition 😢

Come over for a week and see all the other stuff the island has to offer. By the way far more people lose their lives each year hiking in the Scotist Highlands than the TT. It s just not a high profile death like the TT. Also look at the toll on Everest and K2 mountains in comparison.

Retired TT rider Guy Martin has still youtube videos up, including a lap with commentary, him out running the TT TV helicopter, his final cash that spurred his retirement and his trip to the USA with his home made motorbike to win the dike class he was entered in at the Pikes Peak event.

Sadly 2 riders lost their lives and another is fighting for his life, these men are warriors beyond belief I pray no more are killed or injured rip all those fallen,

It's probably no good for a KZfaq reaction video, but the Documentary TT Closer To The Edge is really, really good. The main featured driver in it, Guy Martin is definitely a bit crazy.

For anyone who hasn't been to the island, you can ride/drive the course at anytime during the year, except during the TT, you will just be doing so as a normal road user with normal road hazards and road laws.

I think that the majority of riders gain the greatest prize of all. A prize that is priceless, LIFE.

Mike Hailwood (not Halliwood as pronounced here.) rode TT and Grand Prix motorcycle races, as well as driving Formula one and Le Mans 24 hours races. He died at forty years old, with his daughter, when in a road accident while out buying fish and chips.

Rest in peace Davy,Mark and Olivier! 2022🙏

Funnily enough, the IoM also has a reputation for Cyclists too - Google Mark Cavendish for example, a very successful Manxman that even won the Tour de France. There was also some men and women that won medals (gold?) in the 2012 Olympics in different cycling events.

the roads are well maintained, of course, but they still follow the terrain and therefore has bumps, changes of surface with different levels of grip. And the normal traffic on the roads between sessions does have an effect too. Great reaction ✌

The Manx Government must have had a big sigh of relief this year to be able to hold its largest revenue earner again. It does gain a lot of money from being a Tax Haven with many companies having their registered business address on the island, tourism and the TT's bring in actual cash, GB Pounds. The Manx pound not being legal tender in the UK, It has the same value and no exchange fees at a bank if paid into a UK account. The same as Jersey and Guernsey pounds.

The "flip flop" crash was actually from the North West 200 here in Northern Ireland. Its almost as dangerous.

The first Isle of Man motorcycle race, and other races from the early 1900's were made to test the speed and durability of vehicles. Even events like the Indy 500 spawned from car testing. It is only really since the 1990's that things have enough tests and safety features that makes motorsport less of an equipment test and more about the sport itself. Even the most endurance of races expects everyone to finish these days.

In 1965 I think they were road testing Ford GT 40 for Le Mans on the brand new M1 motorway clocked do over 180 mph,the government then decided we need speed limits

First production motorcycle was the Hildebrand & Wolfmuller of 1894 but widespread motorcycle manufacturing began in 1901 with names like Royal Enfield, Triumph, Harley Davidson and Indian. Cycle racing began in the mid 19th century, The Tour de France began in 1903.

Nice vlog folks and yes, Michael Dunlop is related to the dearly departed legend that is Joey Dunlop.

Yous should have a look at the North West 200 motorbike races that take place on the public roads on the coast roads of N. Ireland. Its another difficult & deadly race. There's also the Cookstown 100 & the Ulster Grand Prix... All held on public roads in N. Ireland.

Heyyy it was great bumping into you at my work today (Wetherspoons). I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in the UK 🥰🥰 xx

Great video guys, keep up the good work.

A mate of mine I used to work with won the Manx Grand Prix a few years back, Tom Weedon. Maidstone, Kent, South East England, he’s a good guy

Not on a race track. Not all of them are professional riders. The race goes through villages and there are no crash barriers! People stand at their garden gate as the riders fly by.

There were a total of 5 deaths in 2022.,all riders. Michael Dunlop is the nephew of the late Joey Dunlop.,who died at a different motorcycle race. Also Michaels brother, William Dunlop died in the manx race I believe not long ago. William was either brother or uncle to Michael,not sure which. God bless .

Check out the NW200. It is wheel to wheel circuit style racing rather than just a time trial. Equally as dangerous.

Highly recommend looking into rallying. The races are similar to the motorcycle race but in cars.

Need to post videos of your trip here in the Uk 👍

Hey guys, Micheal Dunlop is Joeys Nephew. Great upload guys. Have a look into the Dunlop’s, it’s a tragic story what with what happened to Robert and William 😊

If you guys are into this, my local town still hosts the only Closed Road Rally in the UK. Its called the Jim Clark Rally.

Check out Closer to the Edge it's a TT documentary that follows Guy Martin over the 2 weeks of racing

the Dunlop family is an Irish road racing dynasty, a couple of then have died road racing, there are still dunlops racing

i worked in a chemical and fertiliser plant. Dust suppressants sprayed today are made from sugarcane or molasses base

You are exhausted at the end of ANY race 🏁...the TT is just more...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

If you're quick you can get over there, senior tt is this weekend

That was the best video I have seen on this topic.

This year there were 5 fatalities (won't give you the details). Senior ran a day late on Saturday, but there are still loads of bikes over from across Europe (it takes a few days to get thousands of bikes back to the UK and Europe - spoke to some guys who had a 36 hour ride back to Italy yesterday excluding ferries) TT is incredible to watch and it is made all the more by the thousands that come to watch. Steam Packet (the Ferry estimate 2500 bikes came to watch, but this does not include flights to the island Watching 200+ bikes get off the ferry on every sailing is eye opening). It has been mad busy and feels like a great year so probable 60K visitors, and considering the population, is at best, 95K is huge) The prize money of 18K does not even cover the cost of some parts of the bike that they race on. A simple small team bike would probably cost 150K+ then you have the expenses of 2 weeks in the IOM. love the LOM and the TT / Grand Prix. Our German club members from a small motorcycle club in Bavaria (I think) were back again this year - that is 40 years of camping on the same site with locals donating firewood, etc. No trouble, issues and as embarrassing as it is the only people caught speeding were local. I saw Motorcycle police from the UK but missed there German and French colleagues although they are normally here every year. The mistaken identity with the side car event was caused because the team swapped ID collars as a ritual before each race, and the circumstances meant that ID was difficult.

Lived in charlwood, a small village ,I know nothing about motorbikes ,once asked Barry sheene world champion who lived there why he never raced at Isle of man ,he replied its too scary and dangerous

Watch a film called " no limit " from the 30s, a guy called George formby, you won't know him in America, but is a good old film

The Isle of Man is self governing, it is not part of the UK, but the UK Government takes care of it's defence etc. The revenue which comes into the island through the TT, with all the visitors etc is a very large part of its annual income, so it is unlikely that the island Government will shut it down any time soon. Yes, they do keep the road surface in good repair, but not to the same standard as a regular race circuit.

The course is frequently resurfaced and is always in good shape for the races. What may not be obvious is that a road with very gentle undulations at 50 mph changes character completely at 190 mph and riders regularly get airborne. Of course you can't turn corners when you're airborne so that has to be factored into the speed and lines riders take through the corners. Until you've seen it you might think what's the point of spectating when you only see the riders for a fraction of a second - I was shocked to discover that if you pick the right spot to watch, a 1 second view is better than an hour watching a Grand Prix race.

Just me - I hope but a really loud background drone. This has happened on the last two or three downloads, but tis time was excessive. What might i be doing wrong? Or is it the download properties that I haven't met? Any help would be really appreciated.

Hey guys, hope your having a great time here in the UK. If your looking for a short to react to try this one, I love it so much - "My blackberry is not working - BBC" or this one which has gone down in British classic comedy - The Two Ronnies - Four Candles

🤓 As an aside, W O Bentley, who set up Bentley Motors in 1919, was a motorcycle racer, In 1909 and 1910 racing Quadrant, Rex, and Indian motorcycles, also competed in Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races, on a Rex in 1909 and as a member of Indian's factory team in 1910….. just saying 😀

The Isle of Man lies between England, Scotland and Ireland. Although under British control it is largely self-governing, everyone speaks English but they have their language called Manx which is related to Irish and Gaelic. They also have the worlds only tailless cat also called the Manx Because they are self-governing the rules on road racing in the United Kingdom do not apply,

Did you know that the Isle of Man TT race is being shown on ITV 4 ( FreeviewChannel 26)at 9.00pm tonight. Take care of yourself SeanXx

Pretty sure Joey Dunlop was Michael's uncle.... but I'm also pretty sure there are more deaths for the family in the past too. And the fastest average speed for a race I think is just over 131mph, the fastest lap is over 135mph....... fastest lap is always the last lap, simply for the fact the bike has a flying start and finish to it, lap 1 bike starts, lap 2 it stops for fuel, lap 3 it starts again, stops after 4, starts at 5 and by lap 6 it crosses start line at about 190mph and doesn't stop till crossing finish line, Peter Hickman holds the record 135.4mph

I've played the TT game on Xbox. No matter what I can't make it around with crashing multiple times and best time of just under 20min. Its so hard to master

Apparently, there're few sponsors prepared to be associated with fatality - hence the low prize.

Michael Dunlop is Joey's nephew.

This year for the first time there is a TT app where you can watch every race over 40,000 people have got this app ,

The footage of Bob Price Hitting the pub wall at top speed is so harrowing..He broke his neck.

What the hell is “Snaffle”? I always thought it was Snaefell.

The TT race started in the I.O.M. because safety concerns in England forced speed lovers to look for somewhere with no road safety rules. They left England to speed on the I.O.M.

There are loads of places to watch the racing in complete safety .🇬🇧

5 have died so far this year. It's crazy.

R.I.P. JOEY

That’s Michael Dunlop’s uncle the Dunlops and one of the greatest Oman families that should come from Ireland but they’re legendary

The first "true" motorcycle was apparently made in the 1880s. As for what is or isn't "old"... Some of us here in Europe literally live in buildings that's 2 000 + years old... Built during the Roman empire. There's little that's older then that that's still in a usable state.

Ultimate race

I hope yous are enjoying the uk vacation

There's been 12 years when people haven't died in the TT, those were the years it wasn't run. WW1, WW2 AND covid

Racing started on the Isle of Man because they didn’t have speed limits.

This man's hair appears to slipped off his head onto his face.

You want to a race serieies a lot oof the same riders participate it. Where in the TT they start 10 sconds apart, it you search for "Irish Road Wariors" you will see riders starting in groups of 20+ reaching speeds of 200+ mph even in the rain. seach yourube for "Irish Road Warriors".

So, I believe that the Isle of Man is a self-adjudicating Crown Province of Great Britain and set their own laws and rules, so they don't have to worry about GB/EU traffic rules. If anyone from the area knows different, I will happily defer. I have also heard that their roads have no actual speed limits, regardless of TT week, and that their road are some of the best maintained in all of the world short of the autobahn in Germany.

when you crash on a bike you must relax and not fight the motion

First place in this year's Superbike TT could earn £18000 in prizemoney if they won all six laps

Have you no more footage from your UK trip?

This year's motorcycle and sidecar race resulted in the death of a motorbike rider and his sidecar rider was seriously injured.... 😢

5 racers have now died (father and son side car team)

"The trophy is 108cm high", or in old money 42+1/2 inches.

I can Time Travel. Yesterday after my Dinner I decided to lie down on the sofa for ten minutes. It was ten past one. When I swung round on the sofa to stand up, it was two hours later. Explain that. How could I travel two hours into the future. There is a slight possibility I fell asleep.

Sadly in this years races, there were three deaths. There has been calls to axe the TT, however these guys ride bikes for the love of speed and adrenlin They know the risks!

Please note it's Snaefell pronounced snay fell not snaffle.😋 It's a Viking place-name. The daughter of the King of Man, her name was Afrecca, married John de Courcy, the Norman knight who invaded and captured part of Ulster, an Irish province. His castle at Carrickfergus still stands today in excellent condition.

It’s an insane event. It was on tonight’s news I thinking somebody just died.

The people that partake (riders and spectators) know the risks...life is risky!

It would probably cost more than that to enter.

This season 2 riders have died and 1 sidecar passenger

Spectators as well as the riders.

If your loved one decides to enter into the TT then you might aswell plan their funeral in advanced. There would be alot of heartache and crying when your husband or wife enters.

PS it’s nice to hear you say motorcyclist not biker biker was always a term of insult motorcycles by the way first came out in 1898 1899 experiments were made but 1900 1901 they shouting at the hang of them see you again Michael

Think its 5 upto now this year (2022)

When you talk about why it hasn't been shut down or changed due to safety, remember, the only people who have the authority to do that are the Manx government and they are the ones making money off it - the Isle of Man isn't part of the UK and, strictly, the British government has no power over it (though in practice they do have influence and handle Man's defence).

TT has claimed 3 so far this year

Move your microphone away from your speakers a bit pls, its got a lot of reverb coming through. Hope you all enjoyed visiting Britain for the jubilee.

This man just said snaful ( it’s pronounced snay fell

5 dead now. Father and son died in a side car race.

Hope you vlogged

They don't make much money at all tbh it might even cost you to race it's gonna cost you around 25-26 grand not including your motorcycle

The Isle of Man is a well-known tax haven.

5 deaths now

TT 😁

I believe 4 people have died already this year.
