I’ve been around the island on board with Joey, Hizzy and Mccallen in the 90s, Rutter, Martin and McPint in the Naughties and recently Hicky, Hutchie and Dunlop in the two thousand teens but I can honestly hand on heart say this is the best most informative and real lap I’ve ever done. The sensation of love for the course and the island itself is genuinely tangible. Thank you Dave. That was f**kin brilliant! Stay safe. Shiny side up Rubber side down.

Went to the TT for the first time ever for race week this year, and to top it off volunteered to be a marshal for the senior for the first bit of Sector 2. Had an absolute wicked time, marred by the unfortunate incidents this year. Whilst there, and now back at home I have been non stop watching You Tube vids of the racing, and personal diaries like yours. Absolute mint, as others have said the presentation, enthusiasm and passion is fantastic. Been trawling your back catalogue now, very enjoyable. Keep it sunny side up.

Great Video Dave ! The fast downhill bit before Greeba used to be called the Highlander after the pub on the right which closed years ago. Used to be a speed trap there. Also agree about the right hander at the end of Cronk Y Voddy. Most impressive thru there was Bruce Ansty on 250 Yam at the classic TT few years ago. Didn't go thru the "O" he was always between the "S" and the side of the road ! Absolutely flat , never lifted, head under the screen, never twitched, never moved a muscle

Watching this a year on I think this is my favourite of your videos Dave, your explanation of the Cronk y voddy section was just sublime and really proves how addictive the whole event is. Watched and filmed you coming around signpost corner this year (2023) on your last lap of the supertwins. Didn’t realize at the time but a bit poignant looking back at it now. Cheers from Alberta Canada.

Went to Murrys motorcycle museum and had a good chat with Mr Murry and did a few laps of the mountain but the weather wasn't the best. Hope to see you in the paddock and best of luck with the racing.

3:28 I am still at my camp so decided to come back and view this vid now that I’ve been on the island. I really loved the part about greeba a year ago when watching it but didn’t realise that’s where i am camped until rewatching it now 😅 im sitting just past the spot you recorded at and watched the supersports and sidecars from here on Wednesday. Felt safe with the bikes whipping past but just at the tiny crest at the left turn the sidecars looked like one wrong twitch and they would plow into us. Said hi to you in the paddock on Saturday but forget to say i love the channel! All the best wavey 👋🏼

Wishing you all the best for the upcoming races. Next year I have to visit the TT for sure. Hope you have a successfull TT week. The more you watch and read about the TT you realize that the participants spend mostly a lot of time to gain track knowledge. Knowing the track seems to be the key to fast lap times.
