Guy Martin V Michael Dunlop On Board At Tt

Fucking mental! I have watched lots of onboard from the TT, and this must be up there easily as one of, if not the, best. Thanks for posting, great find

 

These guys are in another world. Mental stuff! Not long to go now till TT2015!

 

Frightening fast.
You wonder why there aren't more accidents and deaths.

 

Intersing Guy sems faster in the fast stuff, dunlop better in the slow stuff and the straight flat out bit his bike better. Shows you there is time to go in the perfect lap yet..but not much

 

Not consistently enough to win tho

 

Still amazes me how they remember the corners.

 

That's flippen mental. One slip on concentration and it's goodnight. Awesome to watch though

 

Road racing is extremely exciting! Whatever anyone gives it about the "Oh yeah, he hasn't won a TT" GM rides like that on *roads* with manhole covers and kerbs and all the whatnot we all do when we go out for a play... hat's off to him! At Scarborough Spring Cup virtually every head had a GM bobble hat on it and he was a massive hit with the massive crowd. MotoGP is exciting, but Road Racing is excitinger!



Not just GM though, I'd defy *anyone* to watch the film Road and not have a lump in their throat watching MD race in the NW200 as his own way of paying tribute to / coping with the loss of his dad, Robert. Truly incredible stuff.

Guy Martin and the Dunlops are probably the most famous I suppose right now, but John McGuinness, Bruce Anstey, Conor Cummings... all of the top RR folks are every bit as "alien" as Marquez or Rossi. It's a great time to be into all kinds of bike racing, for the talent and the personalities. So many amazing riders right now.

 

How can I save that video into my Dropbox ?

 

I know a way but it's too complicated to explain. If you really want it I will organise it for you.

 

That's really very kind of you,but I am a computer numpty,but maybe my kids can do it?

 

Just download it using netvideohunter, its a addon for firefox. There are plenty of other 'youtube downloader' apps about. And you'd certainly not want to waste time downloading it then uploading it into dropbox too then download it too watch it ....are you mental?

 

I remember buying an onboard video of someone like Roger Marshall back in the day, and being very underwhelmed by it. How times change, this is just bonkers.

 

Yep - getting in the mood now.....just mailed my mate to make sure the spare room is ready....next week we'll be boxing up all our stuff to go over...

 

After watching that I wish I was going again this year! Oh well hope the NW200 is fun.

 

I am! woo hoo - was in the garage polishing it last night....gave the RSV a clean as well...

 

You had to clean the rsv if you were in there polishing your helmet!!! I had another call 2 wks ago asking if I could make it this year, wish I'd said yes now. Definitely going next year and probably just as a spectator.

 

I want to do the NW200 next year. Might make Ulster GP in 2015 and definitely off to TT practice week (albeit in campervan)... not long now! Woop.
