Thanks for watching everyone, if you do fancy it using this link will really be helping my racing this season. Thanks in advance! skl.sh/taylormackenzie04201

20 minutes just isn't enough to hear your dad's stories. I could literally sit here all day. Keep em coming Taylor :)

Two years ago was my first track. My mom was horrified by motorbikes, so I waited till she passed. I also got an Aprilia RSV4 RF LE 2018 with my inheritance. Thanks mom! BTW: I'm 58 and proof it can be done!

Brilliant material and very well presented. Thank you.

Excellent vlog as always, very interesting informative and funny, having met your dad a few times here and there the kitchen hatch story sums him up as a character 👍

Nice one Taylor.... you have to make these at least an hour long ..... what a great relationship you have with your dad👊

I fell in love with bike racing in 88, and used to race the 250 and 500 two-strokes in Japan in the 90s. I loved it. Your dad is so cool. I always like Niall. So cool and laid back. Pls thank your dad for doing these videos. And thank you for making them.

Another great video Taylor👍🏻 looking forward to the next,hopefully see you at the bsb test at donington in June

How nice to meet Niall again after so many years !! I was racing in Germany on national level at the same time and Niall was one of my heroes of the aera. Glad to see him in good shape!! All the best for to all the Mackenzie Family 👍

thanks to you both Taylor , always a pleaser to listen to your old man . all adds watched !!!!! FYI yours is the only Chanel i dont hit skip !! keep up the good work 👍

Awesome format and properly enjoyable to watch, cheers for sharing as always...will have to think of a question for senior for next time 👍👍

Another great chat! Can’t wait for the next one 😊

You've definitely got the hang of where to put your adverts 😄 When the season is up and running you should pair a race weekend vlog with a chat with another of the riders. Thanks for the great content

Thanks, Taylor. As others have said, great to hear from your dad (when he's not being Mad Mark). Good to hear you're getting support from Skillshare and I've just shared their page with my work colleagues, via Teams, as Social media is such a large part of what we do now, so improving that still set will be key

Great vid once again . Defo needs to be longer . What a legend 👌🏼

Really enjoying the chat with your dad there are much appeciated. i see you have been riding the new Bmw1000rr and i have to say it looks awesome mate,can not wait for the season to start, all the best Taylor for 2021

Legends!! Looking forward to the livestream later 🤙✌️

Great to see you and your Dad having a chat like this. Your Dad is humble, modest & a legend!. Funnily enough I remember seeing Steve’s James on his NR750 at Matlock Bath many moons ago!

Thanks for the brilliant stories, love listening to you both. I almost want to do a track day myself lol. 👍👌

Another ace vid. Could listen to your old mans stories all day Taylor 😊👍🏻🏁

As always T Mac a great vid, keep them coming and thanks.

Great video again boss, really well done - great to see your progression as a vlogger! Couple of potential future questions 1) If you had the option of growing up in any country as an aspiring racer, where would you pick? Or to ask another way - do you think being a young racer in the UK has held you back at all 2) if someone wanted to get coaching from you or your dad, how would you arrange that? Is it invite only?

I remember seeing steve james on his NR 750 at Darley Moor in the early 90's. He was there as a spectator, so his bike was parked amongst us plebs. There was a crowd around the bike the whole meeting lol.

Thanks for including your dad. He and I are about the same age and I was always a huge fan. I ran a rotax Cobas in club races in the states in the 80's and I remember him on the Armstrongs before he went big time. I was slow as shit but I had a lot of fun. Keep featuring him, I'm sure a lot of guys that watch your videos don't remember him dicing with Lawson. They might not even know who Lawson is!

Great stuff guys !! A weekly chat would be great . .

Absolutely quality Taylor 🙌🙌🙌your dads stories are mint 😎😎😂😂😂😂😂racing back then was loads more fun 🤔or just mental not sure which one 😂😂😂😂love these vids I even watch the adds 😩😩😩😩keep them up And good luck this year kiddy 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I really enjoyed listening to the chat! Great advice from ‘dad’ about track days. I took my Speed Triple to a Bennetts Track Day and loved it. An instructor told me to have more confidence in my tyres, would love to know your thoughts on that in a future video! 😁👍

Fantastic video Taylor, your dad’s knowledge was very interesting and entertaining.You should involve him in more future videos. Congrats on your new sponsor.

Great stuff.....your dad could talk for hours and hours......Tell us more stories!

Awesome chat lads 🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻

Great to know the insights about your fathers racing again and tips on track days. Nice for you to have A catch up with your brother ?

good to see the mac lads back :).

could listen to you and your dad talk bikes all day long, love it.

Like a lot of your other Who watch your channel I really do enjoy these as it goes back to the days which I grew up with nice one Taylor 👍

Thanks again for a fun and very interesting video 🙂👍👍👍

I love these videos with your dad, keep them coming please.

Very interesting talk, with a hilarious plane story.

Love these videos, Really would like to know, What would you say the best championship for a mid 20s 600 rider? club level not bsb lol

Quality content!

You make really cool and interesting videos enjoy watching them. Now that I've heard your dad talking about Hengelo, I wonder if he has ever ride / race there. As a Dutchie I'm a bit curious about it😬

very entertaining as always!

Some great stories from your dad. I have barely been able to get on here the last couple of months so am going to binge watch as much as I can that I missed. Those NR 750's are now worth more than most peoples house's, does Niall ever take it out on the road?

Loved the video. You should do more videos with your dad. A TRUE SCOTTISH LEGEND !! !! !!

Great video as always 👍

Your dad has to be top of the lists for blokes to go for a pint with - his knowledge and experiences are something else. Could listen to his stories for hours.

He’s so correct about “beginner” track days ! Every time I’ve been on a track, I scared myself in the mornings, but by the afternoon, I’d greatly improved.

Great chat, thanks.

Loved this , more please 😁👌

Taylor, There used to be an annual Charity event called 'Riders for Health' (i think, it was the day before the GP weekend, or Transatlantic Challenges). One year (very early 90's) i attended it with my girlfriend (who later became my wife) As we were walking through the Donnington open-paddock area, in front of the garages, your Dad suddenly popped up from his chair, rushed out at full speed, and said to me, "Do you want to take a picture of me, with your girlfriend?' And grabbed her round her middle . . . . . beaming a big smile She was blonde, curvy and pretty and he seemed *VERY* pleased to want to put his arm around her - then, he said something we laughed at later . . . . . . He was wearing some VERY clean, BRAND-NEW, ridiculous, all white leathers from 'Nixe' (from around the RGV500 period - they were expensive in their day) and said, as he pulled her close into him, and looked UP to her, "Don't get any of that drippy strawberry Ice-Cream on my new leathers" . . . ha ha ha ha, THERE'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T HEAR EVERY DAY! He was so proud, and wanted to remain immaculate & photogenic Still got that picture somewhere - I wish i could send it to you Great Lad Niall - If you've still got that Leather-Suit - i hope its still clean and 'Strawberry-Free' . . . . and up to 'Mack' standard :-) (BTW - The then girlfriend, turned wife is now very much an *'Ex'* in all aspects . . . . . and, i don't think you'd want to go out of your way, to 'grab' her anymore -yikes ! ha ha ha ha )

Taylor aim loving your chat / interview with dad cheers.

Plus good luck in the coming season 👍🏻 Your Nail it 🤙🏻

More! Wanted and looked for a full interview with your old man for years. Ace! Thanks @othershoresr1

Mid '70s, a mate was marshalling at Olivers Mount, in the office at the end of the meeting he saw Barry Sheene being given £4000 in readies, good money.

Bang on again mate 👍do me a favour tell JW to get some more dates for anglesey its all booked up 🤯😁👍

Thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed that chaps! Genuinely interesting...

nice classic 1998 red and white R1 proper nice video

Enjoy these, thank you.

Another great episode 👍

Great public service Taylor, really useful and interesting

I must be getting old, I've got the same T-shirt as your old man. Has he got the white one with the side car on it.

Good one guys as per I do agree with Niall about Pedro Acosta he seems a bit special it's gonna be interesting ta see how things go in the next few races .

Another great watch, how about doing a little video tour of the house and the memorabilia you, you dad and brother have accumulated?

Taylor I have a happy memory of being with your Dad. It was mid eighties new years eve. Our link was a guy called Doug Holton who was your dad's mechanic? at Armstrong. We all had a crazy new years eve at a club called "Cloggers" in my home town Gt Harwood ( Blackburn). All I will say is, thank god there were no mobile phones!

Nice looking R1 sitting there on the side. How long have you had it? they are becoming very rare & expensive these days.

a sponsored youtube contributor ----- Ooooohhhh look at you !!!! 😜 NO seriously dude well done great work.

So sorry to hear about Michael's dad pass my condolences on to him please, hope things are going well for the start of the season. Take care all of you. 💐

Love the chats , all very interesting. Talking of arm pump , injuries and accidents, do you think that the development and evolution of bikes is now too much for the riders bodies to withstand? Do they need to think about starting to limit engine power , braking power, grip etc so a riders body can with stand it ?. As time goes on, if development continues, people won’t be able to with stand the forces through the bodies without constantly having surgery! Intrestingly , I have just been hearing Mx guru Ryan Hughs, saying that 450’s are now too fast even for the pro riders!!!

Ahhh Sunny Snetterton.... Yes Pete was the Circuit Manager there, and I have joined him for a beer or two.... In the middle of the circuit there used to be 3 workshops (1985 I was working there) the first was Rushen Green Racing FF2000, (Senna`s first racing team,) the second was Barry Chaplin`s workshop and he used to fly his plane in and out of the circuit taking off on the back straight.... The 3rd workshop was Pacific Racing run by Keith "Wiggy" Wiggins..... Boy have I got some stories about that place :-))))))

Ship guys, I'd go for a walk in the highlands,n,a good master with yaz, top blokes, Lee cooper,used to be a sideecar passenger,on the ,700 YAM X

Great viewing Taylor 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Pitlane walk in BSB soon reveals there's still good money to be made....seen the size of those RVs?

Can't go wrong with a good dad like that.

Hi Taylor, question for your Dad as part of Mack chat. My memory isn’t sharp with this but I remember something about A&B grade Michelin Tyres, number 1 rider in team had A grade number 2 B? Also, did the fastest no2 qualifier get an upgrade for race? I seem to be recalling this, If true it must have been murder with bike set up? My memory could be way out with but I’ll ask the question anyway. Best way to find out. Cheers

Portimayo 😅 love that track !

Please fix the fairing alignment on the r1. My ocd was peaking 😂

More on the R1 in the proper colours please!

Another great episode Taylor. Judging by your old mans jeans please extend my condolences to him for the death of his washing machine !!!!!

Question: with the introduction of more electronics and telemetry how valuable do you find telemetry in improving your riding for beginners through to riders starting to get ready for racing?

Cool sponsor and a Cool Dad , congrats

1 hr show would be wonderful. Love the chats. Keep them comin

Excellent,, lads, hope all is well, getting near to the start of the season, hope training is going well, will you be back at darly Moor again. Take care all of you, 👍🏍️🏁🏆🍾

Hi Taylor I wonder what your dad thought of the press he got back in the day racing 500 honda against the mighty yanks did he think pressure or great or no bother.

single sided swingarms are ALWAYS awesome! just saying... lucky to have had one myself. always loved washing it! lol

can you do a clip on aussie riders

what was the money earned for places other then 1st?

Niall, back in 1997 history lists you had your most wins on the Kawasaki, what was it about that year and that bike that did it for you during that season? Good work guys, intresting as always.

Excellent. Love these but they end too quick. I'd love to see the alternative universe where the security didn't spot the plane. Its date would probably be commemorated in MCN every 10 years or so... 😅 😬

Total Total LEGEND. It’s would be great to see Number 69 James there as well 👏🏻👏🏻. 💪🏻💪🏻 OMG ☝🏻 ☝🏻 ✊🏻✊🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻

Looking forward to you getting racing

Restore a Rotax 250 Mad Mark would enjoy that

Cracking as always.

Armpump: I had some discussions about Armpump recently. I am curious if this syndrome really is something that only just occurs in that extreme numbers. Or do only some motorbike riders have bad luck and that's it. Even in lower classes like moto2 or WSSP there are riders suffering from AP... Maybe it's just the media that jump on that topic? Or is the number really increasing?

It’s there any more mad mark appearances planned?

Maybe the Michilen tyres are crap and slipping and bouncing everywhere causing arm pump because all the lads are tensing up to hang on to them.

For a split second there I thought they brought Patrick Stewart on the show.

I have one story going back to the Cadbury boost days I’m thinking 1998 ish a mate ours had his YZ750 painted in the boost colours and was a massive Nial McKenzie fan His bike had a engine problem so couldn’t make the trip to Silverstone and was very disappointed so we all chipped to get him a N.McKenzie T shirt we did start to queue to get you to sign it but the queue was quite long so we just opted for the T Once home I got my Wife who was also with us on the day to sign it to him from you He was so happy we had done this for him, and had the T shirt mounted in a frame, this still has pride of place in his hallway and still thinks we queued and was signed by you some 20 odd years ago PS he still has the bike too 😂😂😂

What's all this talk of MotoGP? I thought it was called Moto1 🤔😂

Good luck this year.

Question for your dad: What was the most evil, nastiest race bike he had the displeasure of riding, and what made it so bad?

I can say Taylor can still learn alot from his dad, mainly where to place his hands when the camera is shooting from that angle 😉
