Hickmans outright lap record set on the Superstock bike,perhaps a more wieldy rounded machine for the TT course than the full on Superbike racer?

I believe Agostini was one of the main "voices" involved in getting the TT dropped from the World championship calendar on the grounds of safety at the speeds they were achieving back then.Admittedly the technology of the bikes has moved on since then and the riders leathers now have back protectors and airbags plus they use chest protectors,but still as has been proved a mistake/mechanical fault can still result so easily in a fatality.
I think if anyone breaks Joeys [perhaps the greatest of all Road racers?]record it would be fitting for it to be another Dunlop and given his father,his brother and of course his uncle all died in road racing incidents Michaels commitment is nothing short of amazing.

Anyone else been watching this? I only get to see the highlight programmes 3 wins so far for Michael Dunlop taking his total to 24 wins[2 short of his uncle Joey]with 4 races left that he's competing in also set lap record at 134.5 in the Superbike TT[I think it's just over 135 for the Senior TT] the Birchall boys also posted the first 120 mph lap for the sidecars.makes you wonder how much faster if at all everyone can pedal the bikes round the course.

Well the AA decided that £349 was a nice price to renew my policy this year-and that's for a 23 year old Volvo[7yrs NCD]-up from £220 last year.A quick chat with the Meercats secured it for £221.

Camillas official title is Queen Consort,a subtle distinction from Queen I grant you but a distinction nonetheless.Whether Charles should be head of the Church Of England I've no particular thoughts on one way or the other,but the original C of E head[Henry VIII]was hardly a model of propriety was he
