Isle of Man TT is one of the oldest motorcycle race, the first official one being in 1907. It started as a way to "bypass" a new law that prohibited motor vehicle from going over 20mph in the UK, so people started to race in 1904 on this island in cars and bikes. Think of it as the early motor races "tracks" when they were on public roads before race tracks where created like Monza or Nurburgring.

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

I've been riding for 32 years or so (yes I'm old) if you're looking for a sport bike the CBR 600 F4i is a great beginner bike that can cruise or haul ass when your ready. It's all going to be what you're comfortable on, Go and sit on everything you can.Body Armor is a must, dress for the slide not the ride. I've owned a Yamaha R6 and a Suzuki 1000. If you need advice brutha let me know I'd be happy to help.

[@kieranmorgan6447]

Hanky Bannist8r I'm turning 19 this month, haven't started riding yet but am interested for when I'm in a position to be able to. And great advice; the amount of times I see people riding in shorts and tops is crazy, even today when it was really hot weather, I understand they don't want to be fully suited up because it would be really hot. But I'd rather be protected up, than regret it for the rest of your life, never know what can happen. I've heard that both CBRs and the Yamaha R series are decent starting bikes, I personally like the look of some of the Kawasaki series. Though I don't know much about what is a safe (not too fast) and controllable first bike to then work your way up. Which bike did you start on?

[@BlessedVet]

Exactly! I ended up hitting a wall 6 years ago. I had a swollen ankle n that's it. Could have been worse. After so long I want to get back in it. It's amazing to ride. Have A Blessed Day

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

Kieran I'd suggest going with someone that your comfortable on and within your ability. Buy a cheap used ninja 250 until your experience and ability builds and move from there. I started riding in 1983, mostly desert and Motocross. I hung it up in 2011 and started riding sport bikes, most of the experience carried over but not all. Safety gear is a must I won't ride without it. If it's too hot for jeans,boots, armor,gloves ect I won't go. Riding a motorcycle is unlike any experience in the world, but safety should always be first.

[@anderstreeman8347]

I'd watch you motovlog regardless of where you go are your experience level. I love watching new riders

[@pick7122]

As someone living in the Isle of Man this is amazing

[@Studio23Media]

I have been watching you since way before DOJ, and remember back to the original SAPDFR. Your comments have become a shit show. This people are so annoying. Keep playing what you want. Your real fans will stick around.

[@TravisStewart42]

Yeah...I remember when I used to enjoy diving into the comments on every video. Then DOJ got really popular, they got pretty awful and I stopped. Recently I started watching a bunch of videos I missed, the non-GTA ones from the last year or so, and the comments were simply toxic each time. Even nine months ago, when he would dare take a one day break from DOJ, the comments would be much the same as today.

[@koffeelily]

Travis Stewart The comment section when he took a break from DOJ was terrible

[@beastyboyyeet8127]

I live in the Isle of Man guymartin shook my hand live in douglas🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

[@rzlosty]

Buggs, some background on the TT... So the Isle of Man is a small island between Great Britain and Ireland. The TT goes on over two weeks (one week practice and one week racing) every year and they shut down all the main roads. Its been pretty much every year since 1907 with the exception of a few years during the war. It is as crazy as it appears on the game, since 1907 there has been 255 deaths (including the Manx grand prix which uses the same course). In 2017 3 people died, in 2016 4 people died. Pretty much someone dies every year and usually multiple people.

[@matthewchapman7096]

It’s amazing to watch in in real life and to see a game even better, great episode. Please keep playing it.

[@samwalker7567]

"Narrow"... As a Brit the thought that some of these roads could be considered narrow is simultaneously hilarious and depressing- these are pretty standard country roads.

[@garretthorner]

If you’re going to start riding I recommend starting on something smaller like a 300 because of you start on a big bike like a 600 or higher you’re just gonna be scared of it and be to focused on surviving to have fun and learn to ride. Also you’re going to drop your first bike and a 300 is a lot cheaper than a 600 or 1000. I recommend a ninja 300, r3 or an FZ/MT 07 because although it is a 700cc bike it is still pretty tame, light and easy to ride. Also I would like to see you learning to ride so I hope you at least try motovloging. What you’re saying about not going far in a car isn’t the same for motorcycles because if you enjoy it, it is all you want to do so you take time to explore and go places you’ve never been before while having a blast on a two wheeled “death” machine.

[@flaming_viper5472]

nice a fz is a good bike thats what started on lol

[@LunaticTim]

The Isle of Man TT is held every year at the beginning of June for a fortnight & one lap is 37.73 miles. You're right, it's dangerous, but as you stated, you don't understand why they race it. It's that lack of understanding that causes the "why" factor. Once you actually understand, it would become clearer, not saying it would change your mind, but you'd understand the "why". If you get Velocity TV, check it out in June, they have hour long reports on the heros of the sport, & the races.

[@ernie_thecat]

Buggs, just to let you know my background, I'm 54 years old and grew up just outside of Milwaukee, the home of Harley-Davidson. I've been around bikes my whole life as a pax or rider. I will never discourage anyone from riding a bike, I love it, it is a lifestyle and I haven't had a four wheeled vehicle in years. The only thing I will say is if you are a new rider, my advice is ride as though everyone is trying to kill you, because they basically are!!! Be careful and enjoy your new hobby!

[@braydendavis6195]

Ernie_TheCat Rider year round? Milwaukee winters can be hash! I live in Racine, also a rider

[@maverick4220]

Isle of man TT a very Historical Race that's for sure, Not just for bikes though, Alot of people died there also. it's awesome watching it in real life though.

[@AvidSurvivalist]

10/10 would watch a BayAreaBuggs motovlog!

[@landlordjohn1]

Love this Buggs and would love to see lots more of it, Thanks for all the awesome content you put out for us, Have a great day.

[@trentonjackson7020]

Anything you post is enjoyable and I love cars so definitly something I would watch

[@woodskull9535]

Are we gonna' see Motovlogger Buggs later this year? 'Cause I'd dig that ;)

[@Tsukamaki]

30+ year rider here who's current bike is a Gen II Hayabusa with a new Wing or GTL 1600 in my very near future. My advice to you, for what it's worth, is to swallow your pride for a bit and learn on used enduro/dual sport bike as everyone wipes-out their first bike learning the basics. The difference is replacing plastic fenders, signal lights/break and clutch levers are much more economical then bikes with full fairings etc.

[@nanettecyr6553]

I love your vids sooo much thx 4 making these

[@seanchaney9721]

This is actually really enjoyable to watch. I would definitely like to see more of this.

[@thecovesf]

Be safe Buggs. Had a good friend of mine die a few years ago in a motorcycle accident on 580 in Berkeley. You know where that is. He was a very safe rider too. Can happen in an instance. Take care man.

[@s.roberts3839]

thecovesf, hey, ya win some ya lose some. every rider has had mates die it's just the way it is.

[@cooltechstuff4387]

Biggs please make a video of you getting your new bike

[@blacknighted]

Good to hear you are going to start riding this year, i have been riding for about 2 years now and it's the best thing i ever did, i ride almost every day and still love it.

[@ManicMechanic82]

Great looking game Buggs! Would love to see more!

[@ChiefPeep]

If only we could go this fast in gta

[@SearchingForPurpose]

You know those big steel nuts that people hang on the back of trucks? Yeah that's what those riders have, they definitely clang when they walk lol

[@beefur6659]

Idek what place love the videos keep up the good work man I’ve been watching for about two years now!! Love the vids!!

[@pokerface2323]

Great video man, keep them coming

[@rossadams2596]

The North West 200 is on this weekend in Northern Ireland, you should watch it, very similar, shorter circuit but it's actual racing, not time trial. But it is just as nuts

[@DuckZone246]

Imagine this is VR.. This game is pretty insane lol.

[@robertthomas1275]

Buggs man love your videos they make my bad day worth while

[@youxkio]

Isle of Mann real bike competition, there were people that really died, so you are always humbly excused for so many deaths in the game. GG.

[@volo7249]

It’s awesome that you want a bike irl but please don’t make the mistake of buying a stupid mental 1000cc monster right off the bat. I’m sure you know better than that but so many people go into the biker world not prepared for it and kill them selves on sport bikes. Start small and work your way up overtime when you are ready to avoid having your organs and bodily fluids flung across a highway. Anyways, this was pretty fun to watch. I reckon you should make another video on it maybe with Jeff, that would historical.

[@AmanKumar-lm1ok]

LOL. Who the fuck start off with a liter class bike? Seems pretty retarded to me to get your 1st ever bike a liter bike. Not abusing but it seems like common sense to not start on a 1000cc bike.

[@kuba_ota5154]

Living on the isle if man during tt is absolute hell. They close half the roads on the fuckin island

[@keith8209]

Wall Nutt haha but ye get to see all the racing and you don't need to worry about accommodation

[@MrBudbilly]

They close the course and have been doing it for over a 100 years so enough warning as to what is going to happen for 2 weeks May/June and 2 weeks in August for the Grand Prix. On the game they have done a great job mapping the course and even the surrounding areas impressive might even have to pick it up even though I live on the Island.

[@lilbryan9098]

Love your channel ❤️

[@ryanmiller4165]

Good luck to you riding,as fun as it is you really have to watch for drivers

[@TheLogicalLowdown]

I was going to get this but then I remembered I have a cbr1000rr in the garage. Lol.

[@marineSNIPERcore]

Lols by the looks of it you might want to wait a bit on getting your own bike in irl😂😂😂

[@Milkandorcookies]

I'm loving all the content you're putting out man, keep it up :)

[@ducktape1ful]

Thats awesome to hear you're gunna get a bike man. I just started riding this year too and it is a blast. I have a 2015 Honda CBR650F and I am in love with that thing. Good luck man, ride safe.

[@ottobarlow4909]

[@tylormerkley5183]

I would love to see more. I can see this game getting a little frustrating, but if you like playing it, we'd love to watch

[@TumbelakaRiga]

I love your vid buggs, i almost watch all of them, but still kinda miss the daily doj

[@powcar91]

Good luck with the bike. We don't want you become: "Bay Area Splat".

[@panthernation35]

Good video buggs and keep up the good work.

[@xodude7x]

The tt race is held on the isle of Mann due to road racing being illegal in the UK. So they did it on the isle of Mann as road racing was legal there

[@-scrim]

I hope GTA 6 has better speed immersion than 5.

[@wkeckvmecsncepw]

Bay Area Buggs will you do motovlogs

[@kingslaya1681]

Great vid man keep up the good work

[@Enonx]

Great video buggs! I wished you did more doj thats my favourite.

[@thecasualcaribou]

BayArea MotoVlogs ?

[@jordanwilmore1237]

Bay Area Motovlogs ?

[@kylemorgan4959]

Hey man awesome video your always entertaining bro!! You drove that bike better than I could ever dream of lol!

[@midway624live7]

The game looks so good! Keep up the good work Bay.

[@z0nda655]

I hit speeds of 190mph on my 04 R1 only do this on the highways tho.. tons of mods to my bike, limiter has been turned off and bike is flashed cat removed. She’s a beast.. it depends on the year buggs, get something under 20k miles if you buy used. 30k is ok but 40k is crazy for bikes that revs up really high. For a starter bike go for anywhere between 250cc to 600cc. Anything bigger is way more dangerous and heavier. Starter bikes are forgiving 1000cc bikes are not so much.

[@Mil-Keeway]

The 650 twins are great for beginners too: SV650/Vstrom, Ninja 650/ER6/Versys, MT07/Tracer 700

[@bud009m]

friend of mine started on a ninja 650 loves it and 3 years later got a zx10r. i had a 250 for 4 years and have been riding a honda 919 for 2 now. i would think the new ninja 400 would be the best starter nowadays.

[@C-M-E]

The Isle of Man is like the Nurbugring and the autobahn mixed together in a blender, and the rider given a line of crack on a prostitute's ass for good measure. One of those places on my motoring bucket list! Sections are sans speed limit all year long, so i recall reading some time back. Not sure how much you weigh, but if you do get a bike, make it loud and noticeable. Not really for you, but people absolutely do not look for bikes. If they hear you coming, better for you. I had a hard-on for the H2 when they were coming out, but we had another kid instead, so enjoy your life before you get married! Handling bikes (esp. at speed) is a lot like driving a boat, ironically. You have to steer in anticipation of where you're going, not where you're at. Helps a ton when you're cutting it up. Add: FYI, the Isle of Man course isn't a race surface as you figured out, they are regular passenger roads all the way around the island. The 'jumps', particularly that one in the village where the photographers hang out, are little crests and divots in the road that you'd forget about in a car.

[@kuba_ota5154]

CMDR Boom yup. They literally close public roads to race there

[@MrBudbilly]

Where Buggs stacked it is Ballaugh Bridge it's a humpback bridge with a pub just up to the right makes a great place to watch and you can feel everything go light there even just doing the speed limit. And you are bang on road gets used all year round and tends to be repaired in patches so if they are sloppy in their work you get seams and bumps and divots all over the place can be fun and very annoying.

[@soupsogoodyeet4341]

You are one of my favorite youtubers and I have watch every single one of your videos and this is my favorite one

[@nativedriftz2149]

YES PLEASE! Make motovlogs. That's be amazing dude. What bike are you thinkin about?

[@MrAdamred]

[@mackhenderson6850]

[@ian-checkmyaboutsection3961]

Joe Walker huh?

[@pa34ja16]

Final Total Death Count: 36

[@martianmuppet]

Ridden the TT course for real and this looks just like being there. Even recognized the place on Bray Hill by the blue fence I stood at and the turn to my camp site field! lol My lap time was over 4 hours 'cos they shut the road 3 times I think for the air ambulance chopper to land, so many people were crashing while trying to get a lap in.

[@icybonfirecat]

Great video once again

[@kwfo1899]

Do a Moto vlog

[@markjackson2889]

Long dark boi

[@peterjamesgunn]

Hey Bugs been watching the gang (BAB,JF,PoleCat,Ryab,BxR) for a little over a year and I love the vids man thanks for hours of great videos. If you ever want an excuse to take a trip I have a Grand Marquis with a P71 package (Detectives Car). Keep up the good work.... Well all except for the Car Mehanic Sim ( I use it to go to sleep). har har har

[@titushorney1771]

Love you vids keep up the good work probably doesn't mean much but I had to say it😉

[@zackschmitt1436]

252 people have died doing that race

[@shadowknight4803]

imagine this in VR

[@steveazyb2595]

Shadow Knight 😍

[@marissastrupith1346]

Definitely would like to see more

[@LGBrave10]

Yes bro. Do what you want. I’m looking at getting a bike this year as well. Vlog it if you want my man. I’d be down to watch

[@mattstertz25]

First rule of riding a bike never brake while in a turn or beginning a turn

[@Thomas-hx4gn]

mattstertz25 not true. It's called trail braking. You will naturally start doing it when you're experienced at riding.

[@aarongarcia8169]

When you get a bike please do motovlogs💯👌

[@BruceWayne-ew2uj]

Yeah I would love to watch

[@ozzysil3nce200]

I would love to see more of this seems like a fun game to watch and do I hear a death montage in the works haha also wen you get your bike make sure always wear you gear safety first always

[@RedBeardAnubis]

You should Moto-Vlog for AFK. I’d watch that. Just saying.

[@desulv]

I don't want it to end up as a "Death Compilation Video"

[@mjtoutdoors9034]

Kawasaki Ninja 300 is a great starter bike, dcont get too much bike right off the bat. You can always get a faster bike.

[@jordanstephenson525]

Funniest video I’ve watched yet😭😭😂 the crashes are hilarious

[@lileaglegaming3468]

This game is insanely cool! Loving this episode Buggs! looks Awesome! Got to admit the rag doll falling off the bike is quiet funny 😂

[@ltupou5]

Isle of buggs

[@greenfingerszimmer9063]

It takes years to master the TT .

[@jamesdivittorio4408]

The video is the best love the video great job

[@DanielCo1987]

I would love to see more of this

[@DanielCo1987]

Plus ats, car mechanic and wreckfest

[@KizzleOG]

Sea of thieves?

[@0Tanaka0]

This game is a great dead way for you to talk dead to us and dead tell us about your life dead and what's going on

[@lilmanjeeps]

I wanna see more of this!

[@YupItsThatFronty]

Love this game, keep it up!

[@ashaunilovell7084]

Get a Kawasaki ZX-10R

[@justabrokeredneck]

thats a terrible starting bike. thats a liter bike. he needs like a Honda CRF230L or a Yamaha FZ6R

[@ashaunilovell7084]

Yh I suppose

[@ashaunilovell7084]

He should get the Yamaha FZ6R

[@fischermotovlogs]

its not a good idea to get a liter bike for a first bike start off on a 250cc or 600cc just my opinion

[@thegribbs]

Imagine; making a game about the greatest race in motorcycling, and not having a clue how motorcycle engines behave. Man, that revving is so irritating. I'm so triggered.

[@CJGJJena]

This was a great video

[@lostaf1s183]

dope vid, keep it up!

[@willwatterson1827]

Please do car mechanic 2018 again please

[@cameronharper5802]

I think like 6 people die every year

[@powcar91]

Cameron Harper there is at least one death a year.

[@hvymtal8566]

Idiots will always find a way to kill themselves. The rest of us will mitigate the risk. Riding is more dangerous than cars, how dangerous is entirely determinant on the rider

[@cameronharper5802]

powcar91 there is a death every year on my road in Scotland

[@kieranmorgan6447]

Would definitely like to see more of this game! Isle of Man is crazy, going at those kind of speeds on narrow streets. Hope that learning to ride a motorbike goes well for you! I would also like to learn, but don't think I'd be riding a bike or car for quite a while. Turning 19 this month.

[@jamessutton23]

My home island, honestly cannot get enough every TT fortnight :)
