TT 2011 On-Bike Laps Vol 1 DVD

“The best of the on-track action” Streetfighters

“Full of onboard action” Motorcycle News

Ride the legendary Mountain course with four complete on-board laps of the 37.7-mile circuit filmed during Practice Week at the 2011 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy. The best-ever on-bike picture and sound quality, courtesy of North One Television, puts you at the heart of the action as speeds hit 190mpg just inches from walls, houses and hedges.

First up is Keith Amor on his Honda TT Legends Superbike, filmed during the first practice session of the 2011 TT. The forward-facing camera not only gives you a rider’s-eye view of the course, but also shows the Scot was travelling in the wheeltracks of teammate and TT legend John McGuinness. This lap is a masterclass from a true great as we see how McGuinness copes with the challenge of the low-sun, near-darkness in Glen Helen and slower riders, as well as just how close the roadside walls the Morecambe Missile’s shoulders get!

Next we move three wheels to share a ride with Klaus Klaffenbock and Dan Sayle, winners of both Sidecar TT races in 2010. Filmed during the Wednesday evening session of the 2011 TT, the forward-facing, low-lying camera lets you share every sensation as the chairs smashes over the bumps, and the exceptional sound quality lets you soak up the noise of tyres being punished under breaking and the 600cc Honda engine in the LCR outfit screaming at full revs. Just watch out for the moment around 14-and-a-half minutes in where some Manx wildlife gets too close for comfort to Klaffi and Sayle on this 113.754mph lap.

McGuinness is our guide for lap three, again from the Wednesday evening practice. The forward-facing camera on his Honda TT Legends Superbike shows you just what a 126mph-plus lap of the Mountain looks like from a 15-times TT winner’s point-of-view. You will marvel at his precision and smooth riding, although the dive through Handley’s will probably have you jumping back from the screen! And the way McGuinness scythes his way past four slower machines between Ballacobb and Ballacrye demonstrates why he remains today’s ‘King of the Mountain’.

There’s a change of direction for the final lap, also filmed during the Wednesday evening practice session of TT 2011. We join Bruce Anstey on the Padgetts Honda Superbike and the rear-facing camera offers a different view of the course as we pound round with the Kiwi. Rejuvenated for 2011, Anstey – a man rivals fear is unbeatable on his day - is at his absolute best on this lap, controlling the 1000cc Superbike as it bucks and lifts over the bumps and jumps of the Manx public roads. You see Anstey catch, pass and pull away from Amor’s Superbike on what would be Anstey’s fastest-ever lap of the Mountain, an average of 129.695mph around the 37.7-mile course.

“The 2011 TT races are, as I write, only a week or two behind us and already the video editors at Duke Video have collated the best of the on-track action onto DVD. TT 2011 On-Bike Laps Volume 1 combines footage taken from the cameras of Keith Amor, sidecar loons Klaus Klaffenbock and Dan Sayle, John McGuinness and Bruce Anstey” Streetfighters

TT 2011 On-Bike Laps Vol 2 DVD

Race on the legendary Mountain course with four complete on-board laps of the 37.7-mile circuit filmed during the Dainese Superbike TT, the opening race of the 2011 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy. The best-ever on-bike picture and sound quality, courtesy of North One Television, puts you at the heart of the action as speeds hit 190mph just inches from walls, houses and hedges.

We begin with Wilson Craig Honda-mounted Cameron Donald as he flashes across the Glencrutchery Road start/finish line into lap four. The Australian is alone on the road for most of his lap, allowing you to focus on his racing line and how he battles to control the head-strong Superbike. His run through Kirk Michael, captured by the forward-facing camera, is truly white-knuckle stuff, and his determination is clear as he swiftly despatches two slower machines at Cronk-y-Voddy and exiting Ballaugh. Donald averages 128.714mph on this lap before heading into the pits and on to a well-deserved podium place.

Next is ‘Mr TT’, John McGuinness, who we join on lap three of the Dainese Superbike race, a race he would win for the 30th TT podium and 16th TT victory of an incredible career. Despite starting from the pits and being forced to back off on the Mountain due to yellow flags, McGuinness still averages 124.048mph on this stunning lap. The forward-facing camera lets you share a ‘big bike’ racing lap with the undoubted Superbike master, seeing the smooth style and precise lines which have made McGuinness the ‘man to beat’ on the Mountain.

The unfortunate Bruce Anstey is our next guide to the Mountain course, his rear-facing camera offering a different view of the TT as lap one gets under way. Despite a standing start, the New Zealand star averages a huge 130.725mph on this lap, which put him in contention for victory – until mechanical gremlins struck on lap three. It may be a race the Kiwi doesn’t want to remember, but the footage from his Padgetts Honda machine is so breathtaking as he bursts through the countryside – and stomach-churning as he leaps Ballaugh Bridge – you’ll never forget it.

Finally there is the heroic Keith Amor who tackled the six-lap Dainese Superbike TT – one of the toughest challenges in motorcycle racing – just two days after suffering a painful shoulder injury. The forward-facing camera mounted on his Honda TT Legends Superbike for the first lap shows while the Scot may have been lacking strength in his right shoulder, he certainly wasn’t lacking bravery and circulated at an average of 128.182mph. Try not to be too shocked on the Sulby Straight as Guy Martin scythes past, just inches away, and then enjoy following in the wheeltracks of the Suzuki GSX-R1000, at least until it pulls away over the Mountain section!

“The 2011 TT races are, as I write, only a week or two behind us and already the video editors at Duke Video have collated the best of the on-track action onto DVD. Your hosts for TT 2011 On-Bike Laps Volume 2 are Cameron Donald, Keith Amor and Bruce Anstey and John McGuinness” Streetfighters
