Oh and this was the shot that made into BBC Top Gear mag...


There's one bike that looks slightly out of place there.

Do you mean the one biker, who is not nearly as wide as his bike?  ::)  ;D

I may have been on a GS, I still over-took quite a few on the mountain pass. Mostly Harleys and Pan-Euro's though  ;D
No....the big, fat yellow one. ;D

Good spot :y

Always tempted to camp out on the mountain, to watch in the evening. But I tended to head back to Douglas, due to the roads shutting. (Also nice warm hotel with bar!) So would watch on main straight and down Bray Hill. The speed down through there is just staggering.  :o :o

That last pic, in the lay by, walk up the road 400 yards and we stayed in that camp site on the right. :)

Woken to the wonderous song of a 250 2 stroke wailing down off the mountain. Great if the sun was out. Not so good in the rain and howling wind while retrieving ones tent from the top of the hedge in the next field. ;D

Bike trouble, split exhaust :(

But Mcguiness was "on fire", drifting the back on the way in and and sliding it on the way out. 17(?) second lead on the road, over second place James Hillier, Hutchy taking third. (They start with a 10 second gap)

Average speed, a tickle over 130mph. .....average! :o

Whilst sadly I will never be able to ride a motorbike, I do like the thought of it. I like the camaraderie (got a mate who loves his bikes) and also the fact you can experience super performance for the price of your average focus!

Exactly right Webby. Although check you tube, there are riders and racers out there In a similar position. But they knew how to ride first. If you see what I mean. :y
