Isle of Man this week

So sad. I love road racing but I can't watch the IOM racing because it's too hairball.

The bad bits will be edited out before it airs on TV. Those guys are a special breed, and maybe shouldn't have children. If you get Motor Trend on Demand they have much of the British road racing series recorded.Fast lap so far is 133+ average.
 
You can watch it on ITV....

It's claimed it's second victim now. :(

Every lap record is being broken though... amazing what happens when they have decent weather!
 
The Birchall Bros. Seem to be walking away with everything sidecar...
 
Interesting that the new Superstock record is only .3 MPH slower than the new Superbike record. That's an awful lot of money to spend for .3 MPH over an essentially stock bike on street tires.

Some of the riders rides their superstock in the Superbike class for that reason. On the IOM TT it really takes a lot of skill to wring the last ounce of performance out of the Superbikes as they are supposedly so much harder to ride.

Average is 2+ deaths per year. (257 total over 111 years)


Going to the TT is on my bucket list, but I don?t want to go & see someone die. I wonder if there is anything they can do to make it safer but still keep it the ?TT?.
 
Maybe the motorcycles are getting to fast for the track? I don't know... It sure is breathtaking to watch.
 
Best question post race: What was you masterbation technique?

Best question post race: What was you masterbation technique?

Ok, this is a UK series; 44Teeth. Seems quite fun, 2 guys they have different projects ongoing all the time.
This guy did the 2016 TT on a Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius.
Wanna know what it was like for a first timer:
 
The big Post Classics - which includes the GS's - haven't had much chance for practise yet. Rain and fog....
 
Latest from the wet rock....Kiwi IOM novice on Classic Team Suzuki GB's Katana has done 106/107mph laps when they finally got out in clearing weather.
At a marked disadvantage to the XR69's on that circuit....
 
Well, he's learning the track and that Katana - lapped at over 110mph. Being held up by 250GP bikes...
It's not exactly nimble so it's easy to be balked through some sections.
 
Classic TT result... 20th at just over 109mph on the Katana. I'm told it was the only air-cooled, tube frame, twin shock bike in parc ferme post race....
 
How much does it cost to run a British Superbike team?

Moto Rapido, we chatted to team owner Steve 'Wilf' Moore to ask him that exact question. (44Teeth, 10-23-17)
