    wake me up when the only race that matters starts
    The stone that the builder refused
    Will always be the head corner stone

    No. Talking about good bikes and brilliant riders on a 38 mile public road circuit at an average of 130mph!

    Not loud 60 year old image machines for loud 60 year old tattooed guys who have missed out. I could not find much about US TT racing. Do you have any links?
    This may work.

    Shoot....why watch that on TV....come on down here and I'll take you to ride the tail of the dragon in Deals Gap, TN. I rode this descent back in 97 on my Schwinn Paramount. Notice how in this video their blowing by the Harley's? I did the same thing on my road bike. Though this is no route for newbies....lot's of fatalities on this road.

    Not bad for a little local track. Many Brit riders? We get a few Americans, Canadians, Aussies, Jerries, Frogs and all sorts coming to the IOM. It is after all the worlds foremost m/c TT race and has been for more than a hundred years. (wheels were square then). Joking aside, ta for the vid and some time to be spent on the site... if I can be bothered!!

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
