The Isle Of Man TT 1950 - When Britain Ruled The Roads

#BAREBONESMC
#RIDEFREE Delving backwards even further into the archives I found this fantastic 1950 documentary. It features riders you might not remember other than the unforgettable name of Geoff Duke.
It is from a time when British engineering was in its heyday. Innovative designers pushed the boundaries of what was possible to create the finest racing motorcycles of their day, and the Isle Of Man was the ultimate testing ground for both man and machine.
This was only the second year that the TT had been included as part of the World Championship.

wise words :-) i would add, if you don't care where you are heading, you are probably on a motorbike :-)

@@BareBonesBackUp come to Opatija,Croatia if you have time to visit the Preluk circuit(also Opatija circuit),"Monaco" of grand prix motorcycle racing starting in 1931(1939 with Adriatic grand prix,later Yugoslavian motorcycle Gran Prix)it became a round of the FIM Motorcycle World Championship in 1969 where it stayed until 1977,and then unfortunately moved because of safety issue to Grobnik circuit until 1990(war in Yugoslavia).i would love to see your content about that time and place,as I live here and have nothing but love about it.sorry for the long comment,here,enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIndgXdmnp2Zq9Usi=BlQptoDroS3TvB4F p.s. Godfrey Nash rode a Norton Manx to victory at the 1969 Yugoslavian Grand Prix at Opatija and it was the last victory for a single-cylinder machine in a 500cc Grand Prix

[@chrisweeks6973]

Thank you for posting this... Goodness, some of those names took me back! I started getting interested in motorcycles and the TT back in 1958, so a fair bit of water under the bridge since then. Still interested and still ride, so the motorcycle bug must have bitten me pretty hard! 👍

[@BareBonesBackUp]

it is a hard desease to shake lol but i wouldnt be the man i am without bikes so i have a lot to be thankful for :-)

This is wildly unrelated, but all throughout the video I couldn't help but think about how low have the English-language documentaries fallen since those glorious days...

[@Errol.C-nz]

You MUST be watching the wrong channels

the language is being shortened and butchered on a daily basis these days i think :-) I do my best not to in the videos i do (see main channel) but i am challenged by my accent sometimes lol, cheers for watching :-)

[@BareBonesBackUp]

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

Your wisdom precedes you...... I can only laugh but I might ride the course at my own pace if they'd allow that? You know, the Nation could host a "Public Day" whereas they shut down the roads for a 4-6 hour time while as locals & foreigners alike could experience the "Place"? Of course any riders would have to sign letters that took this Nation away from litigation if you crashed but I'd bet they could have a decent go of it? As for racing, I was too smart to do that back when I was young & my body hurts a lot today but I'm still looking to buy a Dual Sport when my monies line up...... God willing? I'm enjoying the content & will see your "650" video tonight. peace

[@chrisweeks6973]

@@user-dv7hb2sc9m The course is only closed for race and practice sessions. At all other times they are open to the public, so yes, you can ride them. The mountain road is restricted to one-way traffic during the TT, but open to two-way traffic for the rest of the year.

Good old Snortin Norton.

it was definitely their year 🙂 the AJ has to take the prize of the best castings ever fitten to a motorbike though 🙂 cheers for watching, hope you will have a look around, feedback is always good

@@BareBonesBackUp 7Rrrrrrrrr 💕 I think the best looking 500gp single ever.. in my readings it's noted the Manx Norton achieved the highest ever volumetric efficiency of any engines.. 105 or 110%.. perfect exhaust pulse tuning.. David Vizard I think mentioned the same.. the RR Historic Society has some highly interesting reads on piston engines.. be interesting if f1 move to 2-strokes.. the f1 camps say it's the only way they could meet performance & proposed fuel efficiency gains.. today's gen only seem to know of loop schavenged 2-strokes.. all I can say is RR Creche..
