    This is good news! Honda is a very wealthy team, I'm hoping they will hire an interpreter to follow Guy around so we can all understand what he is saying! Seriously, I'd love to see Guy win one.

        Here is Guy explaining why he made the decision to ride for Honda. I didn't realize the H was silent when you pronounce it. He says repeatedly, "It's just 'onda, innit"

              Anybody know anything about that Russian race he mentioned? Google has failed me.

                      I seen some footage of McGuiness running the TT, the guy is a animal. He was bending the bike like it had a hinge in the middle. In my opinion, TT racers are some of the best racers of any type. Check out a race or 2 where they race on the highways of Ireland. Ulster GP. On my bucket list to go see one day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILvU7MfYbdM

                        I spent some time in Ireland, but it seems most of that sort of racing takes place up north, and I spent most of my time between Galway and Dublin and everything between and south of them. It would be amazing to see.

                          Its like their running the alphabet roads in Wisconsin. Might be an easier trip to pull off than trying to get on to the Isle of Mann. It seems like a very beautiful country

                            Guy Martin has Cojones of steel. All the TT racers do. Not some spoiled MotoGP guys on groomed racetracks. The British Road Racing series is my favorite. It approximates Trevor and Azr on the back roads....
