IOM TT - part 2

[@LambChopRides]

Wow scary moment there Bruce! Really enjoyed that buddy 👍

[@teapotone]

Cheers Chops 👍

[@newy2242]

Sorry yes Sulby my cousin lives in Jurby

[@ericsbuell]

@ 13.14 in the Queens Hotel appears on your right. We've stayed there. Fond memories of the landlord. His nickname was Pompey a loyal Portsmouth F.C. supporter. When he served the three of us (combined mass of .381 metric tonnes! ) "BREAKFAST" we burst out laughing at the intimidating threat of the challenge ahead. IOM content hardly ever looks at the stunning produce produced in this potential foodie destination. We have always dined royally on the elegant sufficiency of riches you can find. P.S. heartstopping moment footage, well done, as for the other riders just passing without stopping to help, NO JUDGEMENT pls, some people rise to this, others become confused and terrified. Thanks for stirring memories and thoughts.

Assisting the casualty & scene management - good work that man 👍🏻

[@teapotone]

Thanks 👍

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Bit of an unfortunate situation to come across but in a way good that someone with your experience did so that you could take charge of the situation.

[@teapotone]

Thanks man, it had potential to get a WHOLE lot worse very quickly there!

[@jamesryan4601]

Was there that week myself, best place in the world👍well done for helping that guy, hope he made a full recovery 👍

[@frankkay1247]

2023 will be my 55th year at the TT. Well filmed, really enjoyed watching. Roll on June.

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

Everyone who rides should do a basic first aid course, did Land's End to John O Groats last year with my brother, cyclist went over his handlebars with no helmet in the Yorkshire dales, I'm a snr HCA and alway carry a first kit and suter gun for those severe wounds, poor bloke knocked himself out, split his nose across the bridge. Managed to get him air lifted, suspected neck injuries and head trauma. He survived thankfully. Good to see you attend the fallen rider, well done 👏

[@teapotone]

Good work - aye I think it should be something taught at school tbh, everyone could do with at least basic first aid knowledge 👍

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

@@teapotone luckily my daughter whose 9 just learned first aid at cubs, should definitely be taught in schools

[@martinhowell3475]

Unfortunately folks the mountain section is closed more than its open TT race week because of the amounts incidents, much better to go out of season to ride the circuit and ride appropriately for the two way traffic.

[@teapotone]

Aye it’s certainly a lottery as to whether you’ll get a clear run over the mountain - but worth it if you do 😉👍

[@ryancox3834]

Cannot believe I've not found your channel before mate. This is honestly some of the absolute best content I've ever watched. Footage and commentary are sublime. Content, advise and perspective is amazing. Subscribed and can't wait to see what other treasure is on your channel.

[@teapotone]

Thanks very much Ryan, glad you’re enjoying the content, welcome to the channel 👍

Good day to you! I am HONDA Cross Cub senior rider from Japan. Enjoying touring , camping and video editting. It is great TT Race video ! So nice ! Have a nice day my friend !!

[@teapotone]

Thank you my friend, I am happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for the 👍

[@Desmo904]

The highs and lows of the TT as a spectator! Glad to see you were on hand to help out at that RTA Bruce. Top man. 👍Hope the guy was ok eventually.

[@teapotone]

Cheers Alan, he regained consciousness with me and was in a lot of pain - which is actually a pretty good sign all things considered. Got airlifted to hospital, not sure after that 👍

[@edwardwest5035]

Hi Teapot, drones are only banned within 1000 yards of the TT course, also during the Red Arrows demonstration i think within six miles of the demo and at all times within three miles of the airport. You can fly them elsewhere. Regards Edward

[@teapotone]

I was told there were no drones permitted at all during TT fortnight

Great to watch Bruce, the Isle of Man is actually a really nice place to explore. Top man for helping the rider 👍 - perhaps you could do a video of what to do if we come across an accident ?

[@bsidethecside2283]

Ref First Aid - I'd really recommend the Biker Down courses run by various Fire & Rescue services. Just done one and procedures / decision points for helmet removal have moved on a bit in recent years.

[@stephenpotts8170]

Enjoyed the video Bruce, and it was so good of you to put that Police training into action to help that stricken rider. Good on ya Bruce.

[@teapotone]

Thanks bud 👍

[@criticalcuda]

Great cut through to the Creg , didn’t know about the total 2week ban on drones 👍

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Ahhhh,The Isle of man, it all seems so long ago! Did we really go there this year? Yeaaa, that was good, except for the crash bit, hope he is OK! How sad an I? I recognised all of the sidecars as they went past. 😆 👍 Cheers buddy 👍

[@johnmeikle6466]

Loving your TT series Bruce, there is nothing like the TT experience for fun and excitement But as motorcyclist's we know the dangers that come with the thrill of the ride, and we hope if it turns pear shaped that there is somebody there with first aid skills that could make the difference. So well done Bruce hope the rider makes a full recovery And to anybody reading this PLEASE do a First Aid Course or at the very least watch some First Aid videos on KZbin Cheers stay safe and well Johnny gadget Melbourne Australia 👍

[@teapotone]

Cheers John, aye even basic first aid knowledge can make a difference at times 👍

[@CraigNiel]

Been twice to the TT, funnily enough not on my bike but we crossed the Irish sea in my mates RIB! Now that was an experience I can tell you!!! Video really doesn't do justice to the speed they go past you, it's just unbelievable!! Hope the guy made a recovery and well done for taking charge.

[@teapotone]

Cheers Craig, aye the speed is just incomprehensible until you’re there watching it live! You crossed the Irish Sea in a Rib?! Fair play bud 👏👍

[@peterrooney8236]

You didn't go from Ardglass by any chance, did you?

[@CraigNiel]

@@teapotone Yup, on the way there it was about 10ft swells we were taking off (took 5 hours to cross) and on the way back a fuel hose sprung a leak! Like I say, it was an experience! Oh and I had a life jacket on from ebay rated at 90kg and I'm 130kg! haha

[@wh88lsofsteel]

Looks sick, definitely on my to do list for 2023, hope the lad was alright! Seeing this many bikers on the roads you probably give up saying hi to everyone after a while 😂

[@RhegedRideOuts]

Well done on the accident. Kept up with Folch’s sports bike no problem.

[@r.davies2702]

We've all done "its just right here, up ahead"... Silently hoping we end up somewhere 😂

[@wolfurine]

After seeing nothing at TT 2019, Gorse Lea did not disappoint! Was great to meet you Bruce & wish I'd stayed but the walk to Crosby Jump for Superstock was well worth it too 👍

[@teapotone]

Ha Ha nice one, aye Crosby Jump is on my list for sure! Great to meet you too bud, awesome to chat with you 👍

[@stevekelly6500]

Great to watch. Was my first trip ever to the TT this year. Was there for both weeks. Epic, amazing, best biking event I've ever been to in my 58 years. Can't wait to go back. I'm pretty sure you past me on your GS on one of the many laps I rode on the course.

[@teapotone]

Ha Ha it’s an incredible thing to be part of isn’t it, hard to do it justice on video👍

[@cell172]

It makes sense to be so strict about drones when you think that the air ambulances need to be able to fly around at low altitudes.

[@thomasreimer1767]

Beside the accident I really enjoy your TT Series so far. Hope the poor fella is ok.

[@stevebolton8471]

All black clothing is practical for washing, but not great when you are lying on dark tarmac! (My kit is black so not blaming the person down).... Glad you could help. Never pleasant to come across another rider down.

[@davidsandilands1285]

Enjoying the series, important you show both sides of trip. It’s a great place and every biker should make the trip at lease once.

[@sootylum]

A reminder of how easily things can go wrong. Good job done there. Maybe a video if you come across an RTC would be worth doing.

[@albysmith3747]

Great video as always Bruce 👍 also great work with the crashed biker never nice to see and you handled that very well 👍

[@teapotone]

Thanks Alby

[@Kojak-zh7qo]

Absolutely brilliant I’m definitely going to give it a go 👍

[@garthmctavish7335]

Hopefully the guy was alright. Last year in Arizona we seen three sport bike accidents in the mountains. Two guys did make it. It sure slows down. 🙁👍

[@iainamurray]

Bloody hell. That was like watching an episode of Casualty! The anticipation was horrible!

[@newy2242]

love the IOM , for a brilliaint place to watch from is the Jurby Church yard , Head on action at 180 plus , also the church sell tea and food very reasonable. then if you fancy the mountain just ride up the road to the rear of the church that brings youy to the Cafe you pulled into after the guy binned it, Hope he is alright .

Great campsite eh👍

[@tommynikon2283]

I'm a Yank, in Seattle, 66/42 years riding and- the TT is on my Bucket List; I would absolutely love to ride that course. At my own pace of course! Question: is there a FEE to ride the course? If so, how much?

[@teapotone]

Hi Tommy, No it’s totally free, you just need to get to the island. During the TT the ferry and hotel prices are greatly increased due to demand, so it’s quite expensive to actually get to the island. However once you’re there, the roads are public and free to use 👍

[@tommynikon2283]

@@teapotone Thx!!!

[@dungbeetle.]

Got yourself a good spot there at Gorse Lea, Bruce. One of the fastest corners on the circuit. And no drones makes sense. Last thing they need is those things falling out of the sky during the TT.

[@teapotone]

Aye absolutely, it would be utter carnage! Yeah Gorse Lea is a great spot for viewing 👍

[@900ccHarry]

Good old 't job' skills coming in handy. Single biggest thing I am afraid of is coming off a bike

[@theworldsbonkers]

I always go to TT for race week, used to go on my GS but almost every day the mountain is closed due to crashes. Decided to take my Husqvarna 701 Enduro and never looked back. Green lane heaven also get to the best viewing spots only accessible on the green lanes during road closures.

[@teapotone]

👍👏

[@moxy909]

Looks stunning, must go back one day, 1978 was the last time I was there as a boy 😬

Another good video Bruce. Hope the guy that had the crash was ok.

[@taz473]

When you pulled into the Laxey petrol station notice a steep road to the left, this leads across 'glen roy' a beautiful area approximately 5 miles long that will bring you back to the creg ny baa back road where you turned off for Laxey. 🇮🇲

[@teapotone]

Nice one Taz, cheers bud 👏😉👍

[@bobholley6202]

Awesome vid brother. Hope the ole boy was ok.

[@teapotone]

Cheers Bob, aye he seemed relatively ok when we handed him over to the old bill at the scene 👍

[@N269]

Nice. 13:00 running that STOP sign as you're turning left to go into Laxey... STOP! Also, as much as we love you visitors and you love the Island, that rider (just before the right hand bend into the Bungalow) and so many more, are the reason why the Mountian is always CLOSED. I think the record from OPEN to CLOSED is about 7 minutes. These riders ruin the experience for the others. They are NOT JD(RIP), MD, JM, PH, DH, LJ, IH etc and these visitors are riding on OPEN roads (and in many cases, unfamiliar roads).

[@rabh6746]

Awesome video once again, shame about the poor fella that came off ☹Great work stopping to tend to him, he was in such a scary spot there!

[@teapotone]

Aye it had potential to be horrendous there didn’t it! 😬👍

@@teapotone I just recently been watching boothy on 44teeth. Wow what a time he had but fair play to him being positive and getting on with life

[@teapotone]

Yeah I watched that too, top man 👍👏

[@mickeymouse4897]

Being a spectator at IOM sucks, limited view pretty where ever you're allowed to park your arse ... Only good bit is having a blast around the Island ... It's become far too expensive now, ferry crossing fee is getting silly, accommodation cost is even worse, I'll not be going again anytime soon, watch it in comfort on the Telly.

[@teapotone]

Yeah cost is getting prohibitively expensive now, especially the ferries. I was expecting more big screens at the viewing points but then again, personally I think it helps build the excitement and anticipation waiting for the riders to pass your particular spot. It also helps folk interact as you stand there wondering what’s happening throughout the race in different parts of the course. I like the whole overall experience of the TT - not something I’d go every year religiously to see, but certainly worth a trip - in my opinion 👍

[@cathallennon5968]

Done first aid courses myself and thank God I haven't had to use any yet but you handled it well done Bruce 👍

[@teapotone]

Cheers, definitely worth doing 👍

Thanks very much Andy. The SOS function is really good, used it when the GSA broke down when I did the first review 😬🤣 Sadly also used it on someone else’s bike who’d had an off, handy bit of kit 👍

[@BibtheBoulder]

Bike racing has never interested me....however, the IOM TT is incredible, and the riders must have balls of steel....

[@LickyDischarge]

I’m absolutely LOVING this IOM series. I’ve never been but I want to go. Anyone want to tell me the best days to go? and what week/month of the year I need to get online to book my hotel? 😅

[@teapotone]

Ha Ha thanks James. You’ve definitely got to go to the Senior TT which is traditionally the last race, held on the Friday of race week. However it’s all weather dependent so sometimes it’s held on Saturday, some times it’s not even held if the weather is too bad. Best bet is to try and do the full race week and go from Sunday to Sunday. Ferries will be available through the Steampacket website very soon, and you’ll need to book them immediately otherwise they’ll pretty much sell out in hours! Hotels are VERY hard to get, you could try booking now for next year but they’ll probably already be sold out. Campsites are a bit better, but again the better campsites are booked up a year in advance generally. Basically, book as early as you possibly can 👍 It’s worth it

[@LickyDischarge]
