Far out

Being from N Ireland and being interested in bikes since me dad used to pack me brother and me into the side car and me mam on the back of his Ariel Square 4. Nearly every weekend during the summer months there was a road race somewhere in Ireland. I loved it but my brother hated it.
For all that I have never been to a TT. I think it is a rip off, but it is on my bucket list. Up until two years ago I still travelled up from Spain on the bike, for either the Cookstown 100, NW200 or the Ulster Grand Prix. The Ulster is by far and above the best road race in the world.
My brother became an accountant , right boring fart, he always was on at me to get a proper job and stop running away to sea, well I run away for 43 years and still ride motor bikes, he is a lay preacher in the Episcopalian church in Scotland, he's a fecking riot.
Don't know why I mentioned this lol

We were at the NW200 and the ulster this year and there was no comparison the Ulster was brilliant.

I think people riding the TT are crazy - normal man would not only call it a day, but wouldn't start in the first place! Just thinking about Joey Dunlop... 

Speak to anyone who has competed in the I.O.M. TT,that's anyone and they will tell you they wouldn't swap it for anything,you can't begin to imagine the feeling when you just qualify,let alone race there.I raced on short curcuits for 11 yrs but never on the island but my daughter is a sidecar passenger and she and her driver won the newcomers' award at the 2012 TT and if you'd told her she'd won the lottery she couldn't have been happier! There's a magic about the place you can't explain unless you've experienced it but "crazy"? no way.

Listen to yourself - "daughter riding in a sidecar"!?!?!     
(probably got more balls than me - riding yourself is OK, but on board another lunatic driving it...      )
My mom went from "you crazy riding motorcycles?!", over "you crazy racing motorcycles!??" to "did you check the brakes and tyres?" when she realized there's no cure. 

I'm a huge fan of the TT, but I believe you need to be crazy to race there. Those speeds without any safety margin...  I'm not sure people addicted to that adrenaline and taking those risks are 100% sane.  Having said this, I believe most people riding motorcycles are a bit crazy - making it 20 times more likely (compared to a car) to become killed or disabled, burden to your family...  This goes for me too. No offence meant - just thinking out loud. I really think it's far from wise and normal. Wouldn't change it though.

That's exactly the reason I asked buddy,mine will definately show if I move the strap.

If I've done this right there should be a pic of my bike
