TT 2016

I think all the guys are going flat out..

Bruce is beat up, anything in the top 10 will be good for him..

I think Guy Martins had a wobble this year, he might not return to IOM..

True. I think that Guy's probably just relieved that he didn't take the top gear job with Chris Evans :lol:

Sadly another racer died..

Local to me too....


I do hope the nannies don't get on the bandwagon and start calling for the race to be banned

That was indeed sad. Dwight Beare, rode with his father the past two years, first year with a new partner. That one will be hard for dad to take. :(

I believe there was a second guy killed practising yesterday too. Dangerous place.
 
I watched a documentary about Hutchy earlier this week - sobering watch.

Saw the highlights of the first race and agree about Michael Dunlop - he just seems to be able to do it when it matters, but I'd like to see Hutchy get at least one win!

As McPint said after the race they are living the dream!

They must be, I could only ever ride like that in my dreams! :lol:
 
The TT never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck tingle, like Hutch holding tank-slappers on the ragged edge time after time which was stomach churning. The greatest racing spectacle in the world I reckon :bow:
 
Anyone else looking forward to the footage of the subaru lap being released? Averaging 126mph around the IOM roads IN A CAR(!!!!) blows my mind :o

For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about:

Not had much chance to follow the bikes this year, but got a tellybox full of recordings to catch up on

The record lap by Michael Dunlop:

Talk about getting in the zone! Broke the record on the 1st lap from a standing start, then upped it to 133.4mph with the first sub 17 minute lap. Michael surely deserves TT legend status

Yes, it will not be long before he is there. I love the way he rolls on the power, such control.
 
I was over there for 4 days last weekend. Incredible experience!

Whilst I was over there, I spotted a gold Z4 with a matching hardtop. Didn't have time to get a pic! Is it a member's Z?
