A Dislocated Arm & Sheep On The Road at 170mph! | TT Motorcycle Madness With Dan Cooper!

This week I've been joined by my good mate and Isle Of Man TT legend, Dan Cooper, or "Coops" as he's better known. This boy can properly ride a motorcycle and has some incredible stories about his days competing in the world's scariest road race. From dodging errant sheep at 170mph, to riding with a dislocated arm - it's proper hair-raising stuff!
We also catch up with the preparation of our Yamaha R6 race bikes, before we head to Spain, and show you some of the differences between them.
It's a long video, but well worth a watch to get an insight into just how scary it can be to compete at the TT, the ultimate test of man and machine.

As a TT and Manx GP anorak I loved this episode. Thanks to you Rik for giving up the time to make all these videos. Hope it continues for a long time

[@porkster5924]

Ricky’s passion for bikes is clear to see and I think he loves them more than cars. Great video lads and more like this please.

[@ManxAndy]

Loved this, first time on the channel, TT born and bred, we live for those two weeks of the year….definitely coming back to have a look at the content….don’t forget, MD chucking a leg over a TT marshals bike at the MGP, and doing a 129 …. lap, on a stock Honda 1000 , road tyres , standard fairing, mirrors and all….cheers…👍👌🇮🇲

[@jonbeattie2609]

Dan Cooper - what a legend and such a top lad! Mega Vid that Ricky!! Cheers 🙌

[@merv690]

Dan i could listen to him all day. well done guys

[@Zedhead_]

I can’t wait for the TT this year, that is some amount of money for a race bike. Totally understandable why it costs so much , it’s eye watering though.

[@raykaufman7156]

That conversation with Cooper was great. Says it all about what the TT means.

[@nickpappas4133]

Great episode, I enjoy both 4 and 2 wheel content. I live in Canada and only able to enjoy the TT via the KZbin coverage.

[@nickrider5220]

The TT and race talk was excellent, a great insight into racing mentality. The TT is bonkers but gob smackingly brilliant !

[@rmckenna6828]

Huge respect to Dan Cooper and his mahoosive balls😀 cant wait for north west and TT this year, absolutely love it👍

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Fasinating, and i'm not a bike person!!

[@jgsimons]

Enjoyed that video and conversation! I race an R6 and R1 so appreciate the bike breakdown.

[@mickydebargos]

Possibly the best content I've ever seen in any KZbin video. Dan and every other rider that takes part at the Isle of Man, absolute heroes, every single one of them 😍

[@REPerformanceUK]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you

[@mrjinglejangle26]

One of my favourite episodes this is. Going through the TT and experiences 👏

[@armo28]

Brilliant video loved the TT chat, another string to your bow. 👏🏻

[@pearman2477]

This is more like a podcast maybe you need to do more of them with racers 👍

[@jollyjoiner68]

Great watch, those R6's are miles different to the 2007 ex Virgin cup bike I raced in 2011. Loving the TT stories, my hat goes off to anyone that rides there. 👍🏻

[@lordnibs758]

Best video yet! I absolutely loved the TT stuff!

[@lices]

I fuckin loved that episode ❤like for real i sat back grabbed some Doritos and watched it like i was studying for uni. Love the TT content also as an R6 owner i love everything around that bike. Please follow TT or bike builds for the roads!! Cheers from Greece ❤

[@neilbathe7752]

Really enjoyed that episode. Even including Guy Martin, the humbleness of the TT riders is something astonishing - and something I have nothing but admiration for... More tea needed though...

[@backwheelbob46rr]

Absolutely love the bike content mate, can see its your true passion and love the cars earn you a living, Dan's cool as penguins piss too 👍🏼

[@Morris12211]

What a top bloke coops is 🎉😊

[@65sneaky]

Damn, its so good to hear you pronounce Akrapovic correctly. Brilliant video as always guys, esp as I'm a Biker, Manx Mechanic and NL instructor.

[@SpeedyBenjam]

Absolutely loved this boys, so cool as a punter to have a bit of an insight into how you'd approach TT! Cheers RE DC

[@alansheard553]

😊Great episode, loved that. If they stopped the TT the basic economy of the Isle of Man would probably collapse !!

[@prebenlohse1684]

Again, super content. Sone good to hear two good riders having a talk about the perils and joys. Keep it coming!

[@markfoster2033]

Great upload,I've been to a few TT's & go to the Classic TT every year.When I first went it surpried me where some spectators stood,I don't think they're aware that if things go wrong there's going to be pieces of motorcycle flying toward them at high speed 😵.

[@ChumiStu]

Love these videos. Nursing a semi for the first half and had the hairs on my neck stand up for the TT..

[@nicksidell4797]

Bloody brilliant on that one Rick But the price of the pieces on them R6’s Let alone the big bikes just like telephone numbers, makes my prod days of LC racing look like peanuts, compared to today’s prices enjoy your time in Spain and have fun

[@gregtaylor6146]

Ricky, you said previously that 'bike' vids tank, personally, I LOVE 'EM !!!

[@dazpreston9572]

TT has changed lots .. Used to go and watch Joey D .in the rain over the mountain in the fog...lol ..Best was Foggy on the yam against Hissy Norton...Foggy bike was scrap at the end ...Miss it but the cost ov going is killing it...Good luck and keep it pinned..

[@flyingdutchy01]

Love the content. These bikes are so trick! Here I am on a 20 year old cbr600rr. But atleast if I cartwheel it I can afford the repair bill 😅

[@user-zz8fx4pe3c]

[@johnnyspicer8367]

Will you be getting the FBS hoodies back in stock on the website?

[@raymondmudie8219]

love the bike chat… have you every tried carbon loranne break pads? i am by no means the quickest on a bike, but i have never had a single complaint about feel or sopping power.

[@Fras_H]

Considering how quick the Stockers are, is there still a place for Superbikes at the TT?

[@davidbrown6454]

Legendary viewing .. No bull shit 👌

[@2stroke_terrorist]

Keep it up love the content 👌

[@davidstocking1622]

Class❤

[@GT380man]

Is this the fella who is an Audi R8 specialist, too?

[@65sneaky]

Does the Thru rod Ohlins cause less cavitation compaired with the TTX and whats the difference in service intervals, if any? Do you ride with standard thickness or Fat grips on the Bars.

[@ChumiStu]

Always wanted to know what the red pickup is always under the cover?

[@PaulSmith-xx5tl]

Hopefully bringing some car guys some insight into why bikes are better lol 😄😄😄😄

[@kawi704racing]

I'm one of the guys at the back of a club race pretending i won a world championship.

[@russnunn2456]

Me and my dad say it every year can’t believe the snowflakes haven’t stoped the tt yet .your probally right if a big crash and many people die riders and crowd then that will be hard to carry it on

[@willjones2863]

👌🏼

[@rmckenna6828]

Ricky would you ever consider the TT?

[@J1M8O822]

£3k for a radiator?? Why ? That’s mental

[@dallankeaney8419]

Try as ye may .mickey d and Mike brown will do the business

[@karl9655]

I know what's wrong with it dont got no gas init

[@TrickRacing]

Best video ever!!! Thank you so much for making this for us. I will try and build my r6 similar to yours but wont be as good

[@nealecarbis3637]

What a load of bollocks

[@raykaufman7156]

Who buys used MotoGP bikes? Serious question.

[@Tyrekickingwetdreamer]

Can you get rid of the shopping cars from the videos
