🏍️ Isle of Man TT: A Dangerous Addiction | Al Jazeera Correspondent

The Isle of Man TT is described as the world's most dangerous race, a complicated and unforgiving course. Yet every year more and more motorcycle enthusiasts come to this tiny British island to race in the event. Is it some kind of fatal attraction?

As a lifelong motorcyclist 16 to my current 61, worked as a motorcycle courier, clocked up hundreds of thousands over my time, owned some of the fastest bikes made, I look at the guys who race there and think they must be insane yet I'm also deeply impressed with their level of skill and dedication.

Mr.Geoff. loved your comment. I have never came close to this level. But..I love watching this race. Replies bring you back.

[@vicpnut1]

Agreed….seeing the unstable condition of the bike(s) during most of the race /lap is just insane to me as a normal life long rider ,but I can’t help to look past that and think of the amount of skill these guys have …to be able to put aside the thought of not having any safe area(s) for a crash / lay down/ high side etc etc brings me back to insane or denial …..I’m older now and as a young rider only a few were considered “more” crazy than I was in my group of friends but I can honestly say my “craziest “ moments out of all of em probably never approached the calmest moments of this race …maybe I’m exaggerating but if iam I don’t think by much ….mad respect for anyone who races here either way

I was a heroin addict for 7 years until...My neighbor made a bet with me. He said he'll show me how to ride his bike and once I knew how to ride it he'd let me borrow it for an hour or two. We were both addicts just for different things, he told me that there's no better feeling than riding a motorcycle and I told him that there's no better feeling than being high and he laughed.. Long story short, I've been clean for a year and bought my first motorcycle and let me tell you that he was 100% right..Rip my friend, you truly don't understand what you did for me and my life..

[@phil4986]

David Jeffries was the rider that got me fully addicted to the Isle of MannTT. His on bike camera views were simply amazing. When he died it was like Senna and Earnhardt dying. I simply couldnt believe it happened. Rest in Peace David.

[@MaximvsDread]

Instead of calling it a dangerous addiction how about we call it a Courageous Gambit? Do you know the difference between courage and bravery? Courage goes first. Anyone calling this addiction is neither courageous nor brave and that's because they are overwhelmed by their instinct to stay alive. (Can't blame them for that) But, I can blame them for belittling the courageous, convicted and, brave amongst us. Those who lead us into great and untried territory. It's this rare spirit that transcends our base instinct to self preserve that opens this future. "A Dangerous addiction" ......Absolutely Absurd.

Wasn't his first time. Wish we had these video recorders like we have today back then. He had some real cool stories about his times in the race.

I've been following this race since the 70s. Wide world of sports wouldn't televise it because of how dangerous it is. I've always wanted to go, even though I have never wanted to leave the states. Great documentary.

[@justcheck6645]

I watched the TTs in the late 1950's early 1960's, cars were scarce and many people rode motor bikes or had motor cycles with side cars. TT stars were family names, John Surtees, John Hartle, Mike Hailwood, Pat Read, Geoff Duke, Agostino, and the best sidecar racer Helmut Fath (although I can't remember his passenger). This brought back many memories.

[@scubawithatuba]

As an American, with many people here who have no idea what this race is, I really appreciate this documentary. Well done! Love from New Mexico, USA!

[@petehuskins]

Just watched this for the second time and, without blowing smoke up your arse, it really is a superb documentary! I didnt elaborate much last time I sang its praises, so I will now. It is clearly aimed at the lay person rather than a life long motorcyclist and race fan but it never gets sensationalistic (is that a word?) about the obvious dangers. It doesnt patronise either and I think those would be faults that most films of this type would be guilty of. As I said in my last comment, I must have watched 100's of films and documentaries and 1000's of hours of bike racing so Ive seen a huge variety of styles and levels of quality but as a good, honest film about a truely unique event it would be hard to beat.

Anyone looking for more brilliant TT documentaries. I highly recommend "The road racers" and "V 4 Victory". There was no-one quite like Joey Dunlop. Unsurpassed as a road racer and a true gentleman. Your Marc Marques'es and the like may be great racers, but can they really measure up to the true gents of motorcycle racing like Joey, Agostini, Geoff Duke and John Surtees?

Exemplifies the dangerous and scary side yet a relaxing documentary at the same time

[@stephengrahn9361]

I can watch this on film but if I lived there I would try to visit London while this was going down. That is crazy scary fast. My heart races watching them.

Still one of the best holidays taken, even after years of skydiving

I love bikes and drive bikes on a daily basis but this is in a different league respect lads

Good documentary. Well balanced, and informative. Running out of fuel, in a race like this must be heartbreaking. I saw a chap do just that in the first Singapore GP. He pushed his bike over the line, in 90 degrees fahrenheit! Then collapsed flat on his back. I've pushed a bike in those conditions, and could identify with his every gasp. .

Big Respect and Salute to all those who rode here. I wish I had the resources to participate there.. It's a distant dream from the mountains of India🇮🇳. Born to race and ride.

I have always wondered why people want to race at the IOM tt,this documentary really does give an insight into the physiology of those who do literally put there life on the line. Thanks.

I am pleased the film gave you more of an insight, Dj Phantom. We learned a lot making it, too. Regards, David
