    Default ...it's on again "TT"

    The "Isle of Man TT" at the end of the month.
    Anyone who straddles a bike to go around this track, truly has a pair
    That's A Man's Corner

    For clarity, even though I did the track - and it is indeed a very dangerous one, it was not as a competitor on the day.

    It was a very wet race, that had to be cut short for safety concerns. The rain was actually taking chunks out of the fairings somewhat akin to bullet holes - and by this I mean clean bullet holes through the fairings!

    Thumbs up

    Mind blowing!!!!

    Not for me!!!

    When I was a kid the radio was tuned, permanently to ABC. We would listen to the broadcasts as we ate breakfast.
    Thinking back I guess they were recorded and edited excerpts. Triumphs and Nortons ruled in those days!

    When teaching in Broken Hill I had a student whose family were motorbike nuts. I went round there a couple of times
    and the father, a really great bloke, had tape recrdings of years worth of the TT races. It wasn't unusual to hear them
    blaring out for hours on end!!!
