o/t Isle of Man TT thread

[Keith]

first practice begins on Saturday, people beginning to arrive now, including Freez and his carers who are approaching the Isle as I write.

John McGuinness has said he'll give the others a chance this year...


Not my photo, don't know whose it is so can't credit

Expect lots of photos soon, Captain Sparkle will be here next week.

[Keith]

Been far too busy to have work! Off next week but this week has been tough, working and getting out to take photos, so a bit late on TT updates!

John McGuinness has been flying, tonight (Wed) he broke the 130mph lap marker for the second time, something no other rider has done yet.



Fantastic weather for practice week, last night had a warning for 'melting tar'! Awesome riding already... All we need now is Captain Sparkle

[Mighty Red]

Calm down dear.

They are only bicycles.

Heretic! He's a witch!! BURN HIM!!!

Okay, tonight, instead of the normal pic, how about a shot of the Manx wildlife???

[Mighty Red]

A big improvement.

[CASS]

Hurry up lads! The tip has opened!

or

He will never pull a caravan with that!

[Keith]

Went to Appleby Fair once, it was all a bit mad. Worth a trip if you've never been there.

No racing today. The radio news has just been on, when it got to the weather the presenter said...

"The weather is rubbish. It's going to stay rubbish all day. The sea state is rubbish with rubbish visibility." That's my kind of weather report.

Bloody Captain Sparkle, it was great until he arrived.

Quiet weekend for you in the end Keith no racing until Monday

[clayton]

I went last year the atmosphere was great shame I cant go this year

[Keith]

When Ago & Rossi came for tea...



Due to the server melting earlier, I've not had the chance to update the web site.

Enough to say, the Morecambe man has done it again. Now the second most successful racer on the TT Course, behind Joey Dunlop.

[P/T Indie]

Oh keith you spoilt it for me as I had recorded it

[Moose]

Keith, was that you lurking in the bushes when the TV cameras were on Ago and Rossi? I did wonder...

[scalehallshrimp]

is it possible to listen to it live anywhere as radio manx seems to have stopped broadcasting live

[Freez]

I managed to get it on MW 1368 in the car, listened to it all live yesterday!! Any Good?

[Aspers]

You would not even know it was on here.
1 of the worlds premier motor cycling events, and not a whisper.
Thanks for the photo's Keith.

[P/T Indie]

It was keith in the trees

Great driving my John in the Superbike race what a massive wheelie over Bray hill right at the start.

Keith I don't know if you have seen the TV coverage but have you seen the shots of the super slow mo camera at bungalow corner?
John was the only rider wo seemed to have his knee right on the curb hitting the apex spot on the rest couldn't get anywhere near.

I haven't seen the todays coverage yet so don't spoil it for me

Who in their right mind decides to become a sidecar passenger they must be mental

[Keith]

I was indeed the lurker in the bushes! Had a great day!

The camera at the bungalow is returning superb shots, in fact, the whole coverage has been very professional. Trouble is, I keep forgetting to record the programme. I missed tonight's... P/T... let me know how it ends up!

And yes, sidecar passengers are mental!

[Keith]

SPOILER ALERT! If you are going to watch it later and don't want to know, look away now!

































Smashed the over all lap record, 131mph +. Miles ahead of everyone, then... chain snapped! What a git of a thing to happen!!!
