ah dude you gotta do it , you would love it , its a feckin blast every day over there

I'll bet something like this happens to these guys a few times, every session.
Difference being, they get thought it without requiring new boxer shorts.

Sh*t, made me shudder

I'm the opposite, I'd LOVE to have a crack at the TT. Get to ride like a nutter on dodgy roads, LEGALLY

hmmm , well for starters the TT course does not consist of dodgy roads , i also personally think you would need a much better bike than you have got cos you would probably be alot slower than the majority of folk over there an therefore you would be dangerous , an regarding riding like a nutter take a read of this

David Brian Glossop, 29, from Wilmslow in Cheshire, was filmed by a police motorcyclist with a video camera as he sped alonng the Cronk y Voddy straight towards Kirk Michael. Police say Mr Glossop rode at speeds in excess of 100mph, as well as riding on the wrong side of the road near blind bends.

Glossop admitted the charge in relation to the incident, which happened just after this year's Manx Grand Prix.

Mr Moyle said he was giving credit for the defendant's honesty in admitting the charge, but he had to be consistent in sentencing.

Glossop was also banned from driving for two-and-a-half years.



folk that ride like knobs over there an get caught get the book thrown at them by the courts , a TT racer was jailed last year after a wee trip round the course in his van an getting caught driving like a knob

like jt52 says theres no dodgy roads at the iom and if you fancy going round the track and never been before. id advise you to go when the racing is not on so you get to know the roads before the TT or your asking for trouble.

Maybe no doggy roads but plenty of doggy folk - no pointin any elbows I can't believe it's not butter!

hey C did you not mean dodgy folk ??? if so i cant think who you are referring to

Plenty of DODGY folk over there and travel over As for roads they are not all great roads there are some shizzle ones but not as bad as the ones over here They ARE PUBLIC ROADS and not a track .Not every one who goes over during the TT rides or thinks the are a top racer you can ride at a slower pace but just keep into the left or you may lose you mirrors .There are however many who go over and THINK they are the dogs bollocks on their bikes but most end up in Nobles (Local Hospital )Take a trip over Ronz its not all sports bikes its ALL bikes you will have a great time

Sh*t I really should spell check b4 I post. (Just call me bum and bummer)Thanks for the correction S. Anyhoo, course there are all sorts of folk that go making it such an eclectic mix, which only goes to add to the brilliant craic. We've all met some brilliant folk, made new friends and only very few assh8les to be found, (who make it unsafe for other riders)so cannae be that bad eh?

i can HIGHLY recommend going to watch a Irish road race other than the overated NW200(just my opinion)
Skerries, cookstown, Armoy.............. list is endless and also Scarbourgh is cracking

C , we have met some right characters over the years at the TT eh , had loads of laughs an still more to come

i personally find the worst bit about riding the TT course to be having to deal with the asswipes who dont know what thier mirrors are for an they pull out just as your about to overtake them

you get a right wake up call on the mountain when your up there going along at a pace your comfy with an then all of a sudden you get passed by a couple of racers out for a blast an they pass you like your standing still

Would love to have the time to spend a month or two just travelling and watching all the above road races. Have watched a lot of them on T.V. and they are excellent. Lucky you to have all the spare time to manage them all.
