2016 Isle of Man TT: Ready to Race

[@andrewbozhozr]

Massive respect for this guy... IOM TT is not a game, who ever puts a leg over bike in that place deserves a credit. Finishing the race as a newcomer - welldone. Who ever thinks it's easy, just try it.

[@miabennett1363]

I hear Gary Moore in the background and that makes this video 1000 times better

[@looseparts]

Very good look on the inside - Thanks for showing us - the honesty at the end was really powerful. I'm from the US so I didn't understand all the words, but it was great - I''ll be there for the classic 2018 - maybe we'll get a handshake!

[@moupy6940]

I was at the manx this year. The Isle of Man is incredible. I will go back.... Soon. Hope that every rider could go there. Again a great video, thanks guys

[@BorisOnBikes]

Oh my, she does sound lovely. Must be a dream come true, to race at the TT!

[@larrysfirewood]

The bit I totally love in this video is the mechanic bit, where the mechanic puts the bike together. Ooh, I absolutely love that. This is one spectacle motorbikes race Iin THE WORLD

[@kingsqueak2221]

Like this series. I can't even imagine doing this, it's on a level that even watching it makes me squirm. To think that the slowest guy ever to run the TT is still orders of magnitude beyond anything I could ever do myself makes it magic and to realize the difference between him and the top three is just shocking.

[@JohSno]

Wow, the bit at the end! Loved it. Awesome video. You guys rock.

[@karlsumner5594]

Great to get the inside view. And hats off to you...I can feel my stomach turning watching the end part. Balls the size of Belgium.

[@lukemarshall1475]

We best see the full bloody lap 😍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Kalimerakis]

with and without commentary!

[@burningbum]

IKR, show the footage already {>.

[@z67834]

They're not allowed because of filming rights. These videos are fantastic though.

[@emanuelj.9016]

Thanks for talking about the helmet, i appreciate that you read the comments and respond to them.

[@Redducati1199]

Fuel bukakki just fell on deaf ears. I laughed though

[@LambChopRides]

Wow excellent indeed, really enjoying thus series Al well done matey!

[@chaotickev584]

I love the TT and seeing what goes on behind the scenes is awesome

[@urbanprowler]

cool update. I like these snippets into what goes on at races.

[@GIGABACHI]

Never imagined a SINGLE outlet on the SV engines would sound sooooo good. Now i know what i'm slapping on when my factory plumbing rusts to the ground on my SV1000N.

[@horatioyachapovich6919]

We are rootin for yah, Keep on Fagan.

[@rureadyboots]

Loving these videos. Such a shame we are not going to see any race footage but just seeing your experience is great 👍

[@melciveng]

Massive kudos to you brother. Takes big balls for sure..

[@moriwaki1105]

These are Bloody Good Videos.....great to watch.....great fun....and learn something too....Great stuff .

[@Itsallagame1984]

Liked before watched thats my game.

[@victor-emmanuel7485]

James’ son looks an awewul lot like his dad! JHS racing 💪

[@EDcase1]

Waiting is the worst... Good luck Al!!!

[@alexspellman2057]

excellent series, enjoyed every minute

[@msdss]

9:53 needs to be looped and turned into an intro song for all future videos.

[@Kalimerakis]

leave that to the gardensnake, this here doesn't have 12 year olds as target audience don't mean to be rude but make my point

[@msdss]

I'm sorry you have no sense of humor. My condolences.

[@Kalimerakis]

No no, sorry Don't mean to piss on your bonfire. Haha Lets go make a loop

[@bensilk550]

Respect mate! You should be proud that you have got this far! I would be shitting myself.

[@ianmcaleer1]

Good luck man respekpt !!!

[@dizzylee7215]

Great set of videos

[@Motonion]

Awesome video. These are great to watch. Love them

[@CLOnMAN10158s]

[@mistery79]

May the force be with you!

[@mattpierceplayz]

Massive amount of respect!

[@LordDraikful]

This has been fucking fascinating - really interesting to see the process of entering the TT for the first time. Top shit, folks \m/,

[@Zanpaa]

The helmet does look really good.

[@JackSwatman]

can't wait for next episode, would love to see a full lap, rarely do you see a complete lap

[@BaronVonGrumble]

its because the TV companies sue people who upload the laps as they own all the rights. Technically people in the crowd are not even allowed to use their phones and an put it on facebook or whatever.

[@wayneholmesFastFords]

good luck geez I'm rooting for ya be safe and enjoy

[@ninjanelly3506]

Well done Fagan, you've got bigger balls than me mate!👍🏻👍🏻😎😎

[@RidingBadger]

Awesome! I love watching these videos Fagan! Not running any onboard camera's to look for areas of improvement?

[@MrG61-u9k]

Great blog, really enjoying it, well done at the TT.

[@eberbacher007]

i don´t know his real name, what place did he do in which race?

[@SuperOrcy]

alastair fagan. bottom of the sheet in the lightweight class.

[@RubsfromRamsey]

Hope you had a good TT and hopefully see you back over here next year :)

[@NigelHow]

Go have'em!!! Enjoy, but be safe!

[@samuelalexanderharve]

watched you go past school house corner on the Wednesday well done for giving it a go 👍

[@mad3arber]

Hat off to you sir.

[@motomotog3688]

Good job mate! Respect! Sure takes a lot of balls to do it. /me tips hat.

[@quacker998]

Massive props over 105 first time is flyin'

[@will_hyde]

God that sounded amazing, JIZZZ MACHINE

[@giff74]

Best of luck! When you say "flat" do you mean flat out? Or is my American English missing your point altogether?

[@dogstar167]

yes it means flat out

[@ongoyaomondi]

all the best. Go be great

[@squimped]

Personally I'd go "Fuck! Fuuuck! Fuuuuuck!" before I even got on the bike, and then promply chicken out. So mad props for having the balls to go out there.

[@DilBErtist]

hope you had a good time Alastair!

[@Slipprymongoose]

Freaking epic!!!! Did you get that box of wonder powders like you had racing the 899

[@SurfPilot]

Cracking effort Al I said you'd get at 106, Stavros and Jamie on refuelling duties could be dodgy though :)

[@Foxxtrott1100]

I love Jammie Whitaker... 66. Boss riding style

[@Kalimerakis]

Whats the difference you feel with that clutch? great series btw! 44teeth is on to something

[@BugHunter31]

It pretty much saves the engine from over reving in the case of you going down one gear too far or too soon. It also makes the bike more stable while braking in case you miss your revmatching.

[@PHATTSTER]

for a twin that sounds awesome !!!

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Huge respect mate! 👍

[@csmgeorgemoss2145]

Well I take back everything I said your doing well keep it up mate well done.

[@ut46]

oh man tat sound gives me sleepless nights..good luck though✌

[@robm8721]

Great article, Al. And how can you be anything but ready with Your bike being prepped to Parisienne Walkways?!

[@RiiaUwU]

Good luck and may god be on ur side becareful out there

[@MrKdr500]

WTF? whats religion got to do with it? 2016 you should be smart enough to realize that shit doesn't exist!

[@RiiaUwU]

[@tadejrepse2355]

[@mr.brianoconnor9330]

[@hornet25o]

I wish we could see the on board

[@phantomgamingstore]

Oh god, I hear Gary Moore in the background!

[@H4RRYxj]

Any on board footage of the lap coming out or is there limitations on having go pros on the tt track ?

[@code3xiv]

hi. just wondering. those sv are running 160/60 on the rear? or bigger?. thanks for the video guys. keep it up!

[@FortyFourTeeth]

180s

[@code3xiv]

+44Teeth great!. and last question. if normal road street sv650 were using 180 as well. (with all the nessecery swap arm and all) will the bike become slower?.. sorry. noob rider here. just wanna learn few things frm you guys. thanks!

[@chambinabi9646]

+aezif dhom Yes but it will handle and the traction more reliable

[@DmanGuitar327]

How did you get the visor peel off tape to work? Special hook?

[@v10intheBM]

You boys racing in 2018?

[@apriliars-id2or]

Fuel bukkake! love it.

[@adin2668]

i really curious..what camera that u used?

[@TS50ER]

James Whitham, top lad!

[@Porkycheun]

It looks like it's the Splattered Bug Edition of the Shark Race R Pro Carbon, doesn't it? ;) And the bike sounds sexy! =)

[@HEKTIC458]

GP Pros are great!! I have a pair

[@shellmeister949]

would love to go to the TT! Don't forget to go check out Moto madness uploaded every monday guys!

[@cameronmilne3590]

1:48 bit of Parsian walkway (Gary Moore)

[@leeosprey1306]

Is the 650 total loss or does it still have the charging circuit in it

[@romansecurity]

interesting how that windscreens was made? is it one screen over another?

[@mornadu]

Happy you survived.

[@3dmagix]

Godspeed!

[@MultiBadBass]

Was this the last video on the '16 TT?

[@DANDthekid]

Is the bike a gladius?

[@tobyboyes944]

You going to try your luck at Oliver's Mount Al?

[@Renzsu]

Sounds jizzy!

[@matthewmason8982]

Ah that's what the 44 teeth reference is 👍🏻

[@maxMel0dy]

what a bike ? gsxr ?

[@mikefandango2296]

Sv 650

[@MrSuperGamingSir]

can you make a vid about what the mods are on the bike please

[@BernardsSumner]

Why doesn't my GS500 sound like that...

[@eberbacher007]

don´t know his real name, what place did he do in which race?

[@offtheclockuk]

Alastair fagan if you want to search the results

[@Mark-xw3vg]

He came last in the lightweight race, take nothing away from him though Balls of steel all of them.

[@SnapperGrogan]

Yep... Cheers then Mark. I was going to wait and see the video but I'll sack it off now.

[@bhutka]

+Daniel your welcome 👍

[@drewflanagan4296]

@ 7:33 is that Nick Mason in the plaid shirt?

[@RufusCapstick]

Steve Parish

[@PHILIPWATSON82]

IM SURE THAT OLSER GUY IN THE CHECKERED SHIRT USE TO RACE FOR SUZUKI 🤔

[@WaffenSSaregods]

Is that an Sv650 or Sv1000?

[@MrKdr500]

650

[@michael112168]

Kangaroo leathers, mate? I suggest rhino or maybe caymen... rhino is tough but the caymen scales have a glide quality to them that are worth far more than the difference in cost. 😂😂😂

[@RidingJapan]

hoping for onboard now xD

[@yourundoing12]

Im shittin myself and Im sat in an office lol hope it goes well for ya

[@tedvanmatje]

that helmet is very pro "equal opportunities to the disabled" if a blind man was to hold that helmet in his hands, i wonder if he could tell us what the secret braille message is that's hidden in that cluster of dead flies. if the answer is "42", I'll eat my socks ;)

[@andreasdouk3387]

on bord video pizzz !

[@godspeed8002]

The amount of insect wildlife killed there on those gloves and helmet 😂 That should be a new method for getting rid of mosquitos rather then spraying poison all over the town. Get 10 guys to ride 300+kmh through town the whole day and say goodbye to mosquito sprays lmao

[@DoubleYouPee1]

0:47 "what the hell is he talking about?!"

[@motorhead4870]

He says that it's fate, settling on a 44 tooth sprocket, I think because the channel is called 44 teeth.

[@IVexxx]

I'm pretty sure he was on about the guy sitting on the floor with the confused look on his face ;)

[@Clungedoctor]

Because the chanel is 44 teeth....

[@oli0808]

He means the new mechanic's expression. He clearly has no idea about why Fagen's filming.

[@Clungedoctor]

+One 1 he's talking about the sprocket being 44 teeth ffs

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Where do you sit overall?

[@lukemarshall1475]

On the seat 😂

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Brilliant comment from a living legend. Thanks Mr Hillier.

[@GTRWelsh]

I don't think it's the real guy, look at his videos. I mean yeah it could be... maybe... but I doubt it.

[@lukemarshall1475]

+Chris Jones We may never know.

[@Schmodin]

Fuckin' raw
