Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
Not to race i'll add to go watch for the week. I think it would be one of the best holidays you would ever had

Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
ever ridden the TT course out of TT week when it's just normal roads? Much of it has speed limits and is pretty boring, but the mountain section makes me all emotional and gives me a whacky visceral feeling. Also the other section towards the west of the island (can never remember the name) through the walls and tree's like and alpine section..
Also, not on the TT circuit but from peel upto the petrol station near kirkmichael is immense with the view of the sea my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHZPD...5&feature=plcp

Re: IOM TT - balls of pure steel
Nice vid chap. I love the visibility on the corners. You can only dream of that around here. You can take corners fast if you like, but you have no idea what's round them. That wide open moorland looks awesome for being able to take corners fast with confidence. And a nice bit of dnb too!

I'd be tempted to organise something similar again. We camped at peel on the west of the island, dinky little campsite, cheap enough, town just down the road with pubs and restaurants, we all had a great laugh.. The ferry can be as cheap as £79 return if you book at the right time (gets more expensive the closer you get to your sailing date). Reckon it's something you might be interested in this year?

Went to watch the Southern 100 last year which was my introduction to road racing in real life, I was so blown away that I booked again for this year. Think of a short TT with Mass starts & it'll give you some idea. It's a damned sight cheaper & just as exciting as the TT.

Just like to point out the reason the IAM boys fecked off is, they took us down little lanes and didn't mark junctions or wait for us so we got lost. Went to play on the coast road instead and had loads more fun though! Oh and to prove you can have fun no matter what, loaded bikes or whatever (and gratuitous self promotion) here is me and Paul at the Gooseneck... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBydUbbRzN4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njK6cOhaoPw |
