ITV 4 / CHl 120
Has enough to interest any motoring enthusiast whether 2 or 4 wheel ,
I watched it earlier in the week , a great 2 hour programme from 2011 going behind the scenes with the top riders in the run up & development of themselves & the bikes
Watch or record :thumbsup:
 
It's a great watch. How Conor Cummings didn't get killed is a miracle

Its a great film I watched it at the cinema when it came first came out, Connor definitely used some of his 9 lives in that crash and guy martin as well you got to have some big
cajones to jump off a bike at 160+. You really cant appreciate the speed they're going until you have seen it first hand anyone who is a true petrol head should go and watch it,
when your stood at the bottom of bray hill or on the sulby straight it really is mind boggling how fast they go past words just cant describe it!.

Another good watch for bikes is THE UNRIDEABLES its about the old 500cc 2stroke motogp bikes :thumbsup:
 
For me the most impressive thing it Hutchison. Since the film/documentary was made, he had over 30operations to save his leg. He now rides a modified bike with a thumb brake for the rear, and a special tear linkage which runs through the swing arm of the bike to bring it round to his good leg. And to see his rum this year at the TT, after all that time of never knowing if he'd be able to ride competitively again it's bloody mega!

I do wish Guy would win one already though...!!
 
Hutchy is pretty amazing to come back and win again.
After the mangled leg on track he broke it again twice.
I remember around 2009 before the Knockhill round of BSB there was an event at George Square and all the racers were doing parade laps. Hutchy pulled a wheelie and flipped it in the middle of the road.

Guy Martins time has came and went I think.
There are too many up and coming riders who are already quicker than he is
