TestPilot Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 If you don't mind spending some time in front of your computer screen, here's a link to a 48 minute YouTube film on the TT: Link. Link to comment
hopz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Only an 8 minute sample so far, but this is going to be fantastic! Link to comment
Rinkydink Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I watched the whole thing through. Well worth the time. Thanks! Link to comment
sardineone Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 A cracker, I think the Brits would say. Well worth watching. Thanks for sharing Karl! Link to comment
dba Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Wow!! I don't want to say the riders are insane to do this but I bet from where they are, to insane, isn't a long distance call. Link to comment
hopz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I watched it through as well. Being a TT Fan I enjoyed it completely, but after it was over I realized that as a documentary it sort of lacked in the story line.... maybe just be being critical. Link to comment
flars Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I enjoyed it, but I felt he dwelled on the danger too much. He must have mentioned the fatalities a thousand times. Understanding the Irish people is difficult. Understanding Guy Martin is very difficult. The Irish are a crazy bunch. I was in Ireland in September for two weeks, and got to visit the memorial to Joey and Robert Dunlop in Ballymoney. There is a small museum in town that shows how much the Irish love their motorcycle racing. Link to comment
hopz Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Guy Martin is apparently a space alien, but I love to watch him ride... and talk for that matter. McGuiness' winning streak is beyond belief... not saying he is cheating but am saying that there is something he is doing that ought to be learned from. He is amazing. May be the money and backing, or could be his riding skill but in any case it deserves learning from. Link to comment
Pletch Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am sure it's a great video, but I just couldn't get past the Al Jazerra emblem in the corner. Sorry, but 3 tours to Iraq and 2 to Afghan was more than enough to taint me to certain media sources. Besides that, the TT is amazing, plan on going to see it, not ride it, next year. Link to comment
sardineone Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Daniel, I too was initially put off by the tie to Al Jazeera. I softened my view after reading the Wikipedia write up on the site. Even Hillary Clinton had a positive view on their reporting in the article. Al Jazeera With the disclaimer you can't believe everything on the internet, I understand and back your right not to watch. I sensed no bias, in what I felt was an excellent piece. Link to comment
Rinkydink Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Moderators. Not political, just an honest question. Didn't Al Gore sell his network to Al Jazerra? Link to comment
1springer Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 That is what is being reported! Link to comment
tallman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Moderators. Not political, just an honest question. Didn't Al Gore sell his network to Al Jazerra? Yes, AFAIK. The network is Current TV . Link to comment
Bill Murray Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 A wonderful share, Karl. Thank you! Link to comment
