So am I.

The narrator is getting on my wick. I thought it was meant to be Ewan McGreggor but I've got some American git.

Jared Leto, an odd choice for sure. Ewen McGregor would have done a better job........still bloody good though

Jared Leto? Disaster ๐Ÿ™ Shame they couldn't keep him busy with his appalling power-ballads.

I thought it was kind of sad, had no idea quite how many people die each year at this race. Very very sad was the interview with one of the widows, with her two wee sons running about on baby motorbikes.

Mind that that bit when Guy Martin kind of slides out of a big fireball was pretty awesome !

I can still see Connor Cummins ragdolling over the verandah. Ouch.
Respect to all the TT racers past and present, RIP all the brave souls that lost their lives.

Any bloke who can claim, with a straight face, 'Id genuinely, genuinely rather port a cylinder head than shag women' (8O) is alright in my book. Top bloke.

His description of his pre-race routine was a bit too frank some might say, along the lines of sorting the bike, parking his van somewhere scenic and having a w**k.

Watched it at the weekend it was excellent.

Really well made documentary that really caught the mentality and motivation of the riders. I actually found it pretty moving in places, the irish lad who lost his dad and then won a race on the North West 2 days later, the wife of the rider who was killed explaining what riding a bike meant to her husband and to her, very poignant stuff.

It was much better than that War Horse dross that I also watched at the weekend!

He's exactly like that in real life as well. Was camped about 30 yards from us at MM this year, and I went to say hello. Nice guy, if a little too obsessed with engineering and bits of shiny metal.

Really good I thought too guy is like a modern day Fred Dibnah :). Conner was lucky lad wasn't he , unfortunately if Michael Dunlop isn't careful he'll be having a big off soon he's getting more dangerous every time I watch him.
