    It's one of my ambitions to go there and spectate some year.

    Really looking forward to this, I was at bike races before I could control the movement of my own head - literally that young, don't remember much though! ;)

    Been at the NW200 several times, but I would love to go to IOM - always watch TV coverage through one closed eye waiting for the speed wobbles & bumps to throw the riders clear!

    I just saw this film in Blanchardstown UCI. WOW, it's brilliant. The 3D effects aren't up to much really but it's a great tale of the ups and downs of the TT.

    Well worth a watch.


    FYI, it's on tomorrow at 16:10 in Blanch but that's the last showing of it there.

    Agreed that it was fantastic and the 3D was a waste.

    Apparently, the only reason they do it is to combat piracy online.

    Will definitely be buying the DVD.

    Went and seen this on Wednesday night, I really can't recommend this enough. My girlfriend even enjoyed it and she's not a bike fan in the slightest, Guy makes this a really funny docu. The onboard footage is epic/scary on the big screen.

    I saw it in The Vue Liffey Vally honestly the best movie i have seen loveg every minute of it. And i am now going over to see the TT on the Isle of Man in June.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭dcr22B


    Brilliant, just brilliant. Some of the crash footage at the end was scary.

    Conor Cummins is one EXTREMELY lucky man and poor old Hutchie was unfortunate.

    I remember watching the TT highlights when Guy got the 30 second penalty and wondering what he would say in the heat of the moment and by 'eck was he an angry man!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,444 ✭✭✭frostie500


    That was one of the best films Ive seen in ages! Whether you're a fan of road racing/bikes or not this is well worth the view.

    Terrific insight into what makes everyone involved tick

    I watched this film the other night. I really enjoyed it. Coming from somebody that knew nothing about Guy, he is some character ( He very fond of his alone time in the van )

    What also struck me about the riders is the lack of luxury homes and expensive cars. The only one that stood out was Mcguinness motor home. I know the prize money in the IOM TT is small but are other races not more lucrative for the riders?

    Not in pure road racing, no.

    Ya Guy Martin showed up in a Aston DB9 not a transit.. It was mostly put on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭excollier


    Most of Guy's money comes from tv contracts and sponsorships. I was meaning that prize money isn't much (considering the risks taken) and the TT is probably the highest prize fund of them all.
