So Burly, every time I see them get those baby tank slaps a little bit of my couch gets sucked up.

Sick bastards with huge balls.

My favorite part was watching the sheep runs their asses off after getting spooked.

That guy that fell at the 1:25 mark had to have gotten seriously injured or worse.

I asked my wife if I could do this race for our Honeymoon. She's from the UK (Southport), so the part about convincing her we would be close to her family didn't fly.

Oh, and hell no I wouldn't do that race even if she said yes.

5 deaths per mile. The deadlist race in the world.

southport is a 30 min flight or a 2 hr ferry ride from IOM.....

The oldest motorised event in the world still going strong. IOM is on the bucket list for me, either the main event in
june or the Manx GP later in the year. I like the look of the Manx GP because it runs all the older bikes including the strokers

Heres my other toy, a tribute bike to the greatest comeback all time
Mike Hailwood at IOM 1978. Mike saved Ducati from extinction with that win.

If you haven't already seen it you need to check out a 3D movie called "TT closer to the edge". The panoramic footage from a chopper of the race footage is un 'fuckin' real.

My mother actually lived in Bride, on the IOM, and despite constant begging, threatening , sulking, whatever, I couldn't con her into getting me a 'local' entry.( entries were seriously oversubscribed, and there was usually a 3 or 4 year wait to get in) Done a few hot laps around there on a stock R1 though, and even that was frightening ! TT week is like a bike circus, and an awesome spectacle, and the locals all get behind it. Even the old biddies are discussing form as they wait in the supermarket checkout queue's ! We could sit in deckchairs in the front yard (behind a solid stone wall !) and watch the bikes howl past at around the 240kph mark, fkn wild ! Unfortunately, mother has moved back to the mainland now, so I've lost that option to spectate front row ! Damn !
