Been n watched the NW 200 and the Manx classic racing, mad as, you have to admire the skill. You cant say bravery cus they show absolutly no fear.
Rode the mountain on my GSX1400; when I had it; and saw an indicated 127/8ish; as fast as it would go; so probabaly only 110 and its bloody scary (no mad Sunday during classic week so 2 way traffic), I was shaking when we stopped. So HUGE respect to all road racers you dont get walls, posts, shops and houses on race tracks.
I intend going back this September on the Fazer - keep ya posted.

went to TT practice week last year on the fazer...ITS AWSOME. the mountain section is one way with no speed limit for the whole tt fortnight, imagine all the lunatics let out of the asylum, it brill. Just riding around the course is surreal after watching it for years on telly. If you go you HAVE to stand at the bottom of bray hill and watch the big boys nail it doing about 170 and bottoming out at the traffic lights, the hair on the back of my neck is standing up just thinking about it. If anyone is thinking of going dont hesitate, JUST GO. simple as.

I really wish i had been, must go there, all my mates have been over the years,


This year we are off down to Mugello end of May so TT is too close ,not enough time or money,


Whats the later one like,a few months after the TT.?
