BONGO Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well, the TT has been on this week, and with mad sunday coming up and then race week, it's going to be on TV real soon.Does anyone know when and where it's going to be on TV, i heard it started with 'live' (ish) coverage from tonight but after having a look i can't find anything.Anyone know??? If you ain't watched it before, have a watch. It is FCUKED up!!! They are total mentalists. Me and phil the ging went over in 2003 and it was amazing in the flesh. Plus this year is the 100th year, so it's double mental lol.Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todge Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 If it wasnt for such machines, plastic Japanese motorcycles may have never evolved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Haha, touché You still ain't answered my TT question though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxrider Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) They've coned off nearly the whole mountain even though it's one way to stop the corners been taking to quickly, obviously not during the racing lol but it will really slow things down on mad sunday specially with it being soo much busier this year. Oh and for any one interested mcguinness lapped and something like 129.45 mph average in practice, so breaking the 130mph will probaly very likely be done this year. oh yeh, I still didnt answer your question lol . sorry , if i find out ill tell you.

TomR Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Really looking forward to this years, it really is an awesome race. The guy who owns the motorbike shop at the end of my road used to ride in it, don't know if his son still races. my dad was telling me a story about him the other day, sounds a bit of a mentallist. Having finished 7th (IIRC) in the TT you'd have ot be pretty nuts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yeh, but there have been course changes--like faster corners and smoother roads.That was definitely last years record... MCN are showing his fastest practice lap to be at 129.084mph... Reasonable possibility for a 130mph lap in the race though?Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his practice has showed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
