Onboard with Ben & Tom Birchall

[@denniscasey986]

No matter how many times I see the TT, even snippets, it takes my breath away.

[@benningbenningmeier4583]

Same here

[@GT380man]

Can’t wait for practice week. True grit, these blokes. Time passes, grit remains. Utterly spellbinding, every time. Never gets ordinary. It’s always extraordinary.

[@EV4RY]

I never appreciated it til I went this year. The way these guys jockey the bikes around the course is astounding and the memories of my week there give me nothing but admiration and respect foe EVERY pilot that does a successful lap. Looking forward to my next visit now 😉

[@heirling25]

Same here- some bad MFs, everyone of them.

[@joshgriffiths3500]

These boys are a class act! No big ego's just pure passion for racing. Big up the Birchalls! 🤘

[@SportingDrivesinColorado]

Yeah! Really cool guys!

[@paulholubecki6386]

Balls of steel😮

[@joshgriffiths3500]

@Paul Holubecki they've hit 120 this week, absolutely amazing 🔥

[@harrye9509]

Absolutly amazing. Doing this, you need everything. Courage, heart, intelligence, fitness, confidence. A big credit to sports itself. Chapeau !!!

[@bagofchicken]

Love the casual discard of the tear-off while waiting for the next corner. 15:42

[@GT380man]

They’re ice cool, the Birchall boys.

[@stephanrosos4957]

I can't imagine being in the role of sidecar pilot. You're along for the ballistic ride and all you can do is shift your weight to help balance. These guys define grace under pressure.

[@ExMAB4]

Modern day Gladiators. These guys have balls of steel. I am in awe of what these guys do, their skill and courage. Stay safe and in one piece. 🙏

[@PhilT993]

WOW!! What incredible coverage. You guys are amazing and crazy. I always enjoyed watching the teamwork involved to keep the rig on the road.

[@internetpunter3503]

"Warm one today boys" as they stop five feet short of a massive tree. Still mightily impressive and after seeing them come through Kirk Michael on that very lap, they were visibly much quicker than everyone else

[@mgdu16]

les couilles qu'il faut pour intégrer cette discipline... merci de nous partager ce onboard exeptionnel, prenez soin de vous !

[@robertnash67]

Wow that's a lot of trust and driving skills in one man.

[@GT380man]

Well, it’s two. The pilot will die if the passenger doesn’t do what’s needed, when it’s needed.

[@GT380man]

Are they really refitting those fasteners while wearing armoured gloves?? Crikey. I struggle with bare hands.

[@SaddleSore]

The best video on You Tube this year! I can only began to imagine what is running through their respective minds. Awesome!

[@GT380man]

Among the many remarkable things of the TT, the fact that so few sidecar rigs exist makes the one we’re watching unique. Hand made by & for these two men, optimised for this course. Is there greater focus & uncompromising effort in motorsport? Maybe equalled at Le Mans?

[@briandion9894]

Thanks to both of you for doing what you do

[@buellmax]

Un très grand bravo à vous, la moto c'est déjà impressionnant, mais alors le Side-car, c'est encore plus fort 💪🏾. Merci pour ces images, on se croierait vraiment a bord.

[@GT380man]

Nice comment, I agree!

[@missingmac7104]

I saw this sidecar at Goodwood festival of speed this year 2022 ,She is a real beauty , the brothers are really down to earth guys

[@eamo106]

From Texas USA... Breathtaking !

[@djgroovehq]

These guys are absolutely insane in every way possible.

[@Daflux84]

Imagine doing this race with you're best mate dude that would be epic respect to all the riders who ride the isle of man to modern day gladiators I started saving to go watch it live is on my bucketlist as a motorcycle rider

[@joehernandez6260]

The power of speed is so fascinating with adrenaline flowing through our veins is the passion for our happiness 💯🤘🏼☯️

[@hni4053]

Sooo interesting to see how these bikes are designed - I didn't know really. Dear me, the pilot lies over two heavy chains with only a thin fairing in btw. These guys are really impressive; bruised and beaten as they must be after a Mountain route shake-down with a susp travel of up to max ~20 mill...

[@janicespiby2505]

I can remember back in the sixties a husband and wife team called Jon and Julia Bingham she rode passenger omg ❤

[@bh8459]

3miniute mark engine is just humming...absolutely amazing

[@CatSeven12]

Vidéo incroyable : l'adrénaline monte à chaque seconde ! Merci à ces coureurs comme "Les conquérants de l'inutile" en alpinisme. Amazing video : adrenaline rushes every second ! Thank you to these runners as "Les conquérants de l'inutile" in mountaineering.

[@davidchandler3354]

Probably the best sidecar footage ever.

[@TroyKelly-ws8ui]

Those magnificent men and their flying machines...🤘

[@barryparkinson294]

I did it once in 1972 I think, Helmut Fath was there who Ripped off all the Rubber on the Rear Wheel, down to the Canvas in one Lap. Still watching at 80 years old. Barry Parkinson

[@carlostrejo1711]

De verlo ya me dan vértigos...están locos!!!🤯🔥🚀

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

They're wearing Arai RX7X limited edition IOMTT 2022

[@TurboTingol]

Holy 🐮! Birchalls on fire! 🔥🔥🔥

[@alexandrepires1556]

congratulations for the video 📹 it was fantastic!

[@vega2668]

Estos hombres increíbles deberían ser los deportistas mejor pagados del mundo ... ES INCREÍBLE VER ESTO 😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@angelcrespo6455]

More than amazing😮😮😮👍!!!

[@gollebernd5655]

Einfach Geil. Noch dazu weil ich das Gespann als Modell hergestellt habe. Ich zieh den Hut vor den Jungs!

[@SportingDrivesinColorado]

I'm sitting here totally cracking up laughing!!! I'm not sure if this actually looks like too much fun or if I'm just stupid. :D Thanks for the ride!

[@fastfreddy918]

The passenger view is terrifying. Inches from trees and walls. Wow.

[@nations1E]

Yes

[@MOHAMEDHASSAN-fk9jv]

Incredible video and riding. Wow. 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@DannyPlaysStuff]

Seeing sidecars from TV coverage itself were amazing, but the onboard one like this is unreal. Mad respect for the sidecar riders, true crackheads that runs on nothing but pure instinct and adrenaline.

[@fizzymark]

Amazing. 👌Great footage. 💪Thanks guy’s. 🙏. Imagine how crap that vid would be with an electric bike. 💩. Stay safe.

[@aslamnurfikri7640]

TT racers are crazy, but TT sidecar riders are on another level of crazy

[@davel6017]

Wonderfull pictures....and what a pair of......😁

[@nigelinnes5540]

I can’t understand how those engines stand it !!!! Let alone the blokes

[@THOR252RACER]

I'd love to ride one of these bikes. Wouldn't even know where to find one in the USA

[@junkersbunkers]

That's just fuckin nuts the trust between the the two of them slightest wrong movement boom mistake and it's game over 👊🍻

[@allandrennan4916]

Thank you.

[@sylvainarmengaud3707]

Non de non, de la folie, et la cam pilote juste dingue, le singe... Bref incroyable

[@jembooth9202]

FANTASTIC! 🙂

[@MV76]

My heart stopped when the tire lost grip at 10:01. Can someone explain how the guy knows the right time to get up without watching the street?

[@sauce1232]

They know 100% of the track

[@troyengland511]

Been doing it long enough to know based off time and engine sound when to poke his head up to see where the next corner is, also has complete trust in the rider

[@jillsmcfarland2001]

3 years minimum study of 37 mile course

[@mar-45]

This two father and son got killed during practice run

[@dragon-tech111]

Damn who needs a sidecar guy? I'm in! Let's pull some gs.

[@CS555]

Unreal,absolute class video 👌👌

[@trsfc1595]

Well done Lads

[@fredcomb_fr1218]

impressionnant !

[@cyanur6791]

Impressionnant !!! Ya pas de suspension ?

[@davecooper3238]

There is suspension but only with very short travel.

[@mattwoodproperty]

35mm travel

[@venus-j3u]

Thats a beautiful town

[@janicespiby2505]

Great guys ❤️🏍️🏍️❤

[@Garythegrandad]

5:11 those engine noises 🔥

[@schwarzseher9729]

That Fire sceaming Engine😍😍😍And the Gear Ratios are so damn nice.What Engine is this?I think its Yamaha R6 Engine??

[@zegaz8613]

Oh..wow ...there extremely perfect syncronize buddy...!! Tough race than F1 ....man can do and man can dare..O_O

[@philipsampson2338]

Just wow!

[@GrozerVonTeplitz]

This is so sick😍

[@TimCalogero-y6r]

That's so sick

[@marcjuvinall9627]

[@haroldshull6848]

A tyre change! Was this a practice lap? Sure doesn't look like it through the rest of the run!

[@markbaker5345]

Yeah was practice- "Jump onboard with Ben and Tom Birchall for a lap of the TT Course like no other, as they run in an engine, scrub in a tyre, and - amazingly - change a wheel part way round, as they make their final preparations for the second Sidecar Race of TT 2022."

[@TV-ix1st]

the best play👍

[@Kyle-R]

suprised to see the other side car come past

[@mattwoodproperty]

Just running the outfit and tyres I’m ready for the race

[@imthebest200]

you can easily tell by the RPM that they were not pushing untill at least 7 mins into the video.

[@lesklower7281]

What can l say breath taking an insight into the most dangerous motor sport

[@arthurpendragon6685]

My god that's crazy. What's the topspeed of these ?

[@davecooper3238]

Around the 150 mph area. Not bad using a 600cc engine.

[@goldencatpat]

Pro-Tip: Makes exceptional ASMR

[@mycroft1905]

Nutz!

[@WizzNorton]

For some reason, the camera on the outer body gives no sense of speed? Seen the brothers a couple of times at the TT and they are mind blowinglingly fast!!

[@TEF586]

Anyone know what make of motor it has?

[@djriddleandgmoney5930]

I would have to be the one with the throttle. Riding is way to scary

[@chadberk4498]

Was that first 5 mins just a testing phase??

[@1950Bonanza]

Coolest F'ing shit in the world...awesome guys!

[@nigelinnes5540]

I can’t believe how everyone survived !??!!!!!!

[@franciscomartingarcia5401]

Just, I want a sidecar in my live

[@lightningmcqueen181]

I bet that dude could squeeze a Golf ball like they are stress balls after racing side cars

[@pat1769]

magic😊

[@Hlodowig1989]

Wouhou

[@GT380man]

16 mins they’re passing other rigs like they’re 20 mph slower. Though it’s surely respectful & safe passing, the others are in their own race, not against this pair.

[@rudymental5676]

top vid

[@brianreed9688]

My god!!

[@BilobateDrip]

I would have enjoyed being a sidecar co-pilot, I easily understand the job and enjoy climbing, so monkeying back and forth in the sidecar would suit me. But my 6'3" broad frame says otherwise 😢

[@alicetickle]

This is fucking mint

[@CalebSullivan-d7t]

I'd say the co-driver has the grip strength of a hydraulic press

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

What in the actual fuck 😮😮

[@Braveheart7914-idfl]

British bulldogs 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🏻👏

[@davidevans6051]

😊Long periods on full throttle.

[@Str33tB4ll3rs]

I would completely shit myself, sitting in that sidecar

[@j4v-cyberpunk-music]

...it all started with a Vespa PX and a screw driver. Drops into on direction and flips into the other....

[@trustenbaker8766]

How does the "rider" know what do, and when to do it?

[@troyengland511]

I'm guessing u mean the swinger, and it comes from years of doing it, knowing the track and having full trust in the rider

[@zomhby]

I changed three times my briefs

[@franckremy665]

Damn it, I swear I could smell hot oil and gasoline through the monitor.

[@SharhbiniRauf]

Make all ICE today can be consider as green technology.

[@roadracett2853]

👍🏻🇮🇲👍🏻

[@ixifutureproof9286]

So that's why they lost time in that sector. Great insight.
