Thanks for that, would have posted sooner, but had to wait for the dizziness to subside. Great vid!

That's just insane!! 50 seconds, 1 min 12 seconds and 1 min 23 seconds - nightmare stuff  First comment under the vid : " f*** Chuck Norris, these guys are badass"

You would think in these days of Health and Safety and the Nanny State that the TT would have been banned years ago.
Lets all enjoy the best road race in the world whilst we can.
Those riders past and present are legends and most of them do it for the laugh and a bit of pride. Not many make any money out of it.
All the best

Wendy was saying how Guy Martin had gone to do a race somewhere and the organisers had lined up the press etc for pics and handshakes.
We basically said he was there to race 'cause he had taken a day off work!
Apparently he's a lorry mechanic who just happens to be a complete nutter on a bike. Talented I grant you but a nutter still the same

Definately worth booking your time slot Barry, the race is fantastic. I am lucky enough to just live a few miles away but it still costs a fortune to go
