cfcjim Posted June 4, 2017 Share This is interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jun/04/women-motorbike-riders-racing-ulster-suzi-perry The documentary should be on BBC iPlayer from 2030 CAT on Monday 5/6/2017. I expect it'll be worth a look. nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted June 6, 2017 Share Guy is proper nutter, and for him to be that shaken up you must know it was a close call. Got lots of time for him, he is a genuinely nice guy. Glad he made it. Edited June 6, 2017 by Patchelicious Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, nathrix and Wannabe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBeer Posted June 6, 2017 Share fark! I'm not a motorsport fan at all, but I could watch Isle of Man all day. Those guys are proper mal! nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazambaan Posted June 7, 2017 Share I'm worried about Guy Martin (who was uncharacteristically somber in that interview) and the Honda, both a bit under cooked and no John McGuinness to help develop the bike.A nutter amongst nutters. But he is a live wire usually and can ride a push bike as well - finished well up in the Tour Divide last year under a pseudonym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcjim Posted June 7, 2017 Share First death of this year's event. So sad. http://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/40182422 Hope it's the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he made it. Hey, something we agree on Guy really deserves a win man, really stalwart of the road scene. Read his autobiography, he raced with/against Crutchlow when still circuit racing. Wonder where he would've got to if he kept to track racing??? Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathrix Posted June 7, 2017 Share Michael Dunlop took his 14th Isle of Man TT victory in the Monster Energy Supersport Race 1 to equal Mike Hailwood’s 14 wins when he won the 4-lap race by 13.2 seconds from James Hillier.The Northern Ireland rider overhauled Hillier half way round the first lap but it was only on the final lap that he pulled clear as he took his first 600cc win since 2014. Peter Hickman took third for his second TT 2017 podium in as many days and set the fastest lap of the race on the final lap at 126.848mph.

Wannabe Posted June 7, 2017 Share yeah, he was damn sombre there... Completely shaken. Complained that "all of a sudden the Honda's gearbox was full of neutrals".Is it not perhaps what caused McGuinness's horrible accident too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the raw talent road racers need, and that the track stars often lack. You know that proper maverick type riding.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 7, 2017 Share That is nice to see, back to its former glory.I really wish that part 2 was more about the rebuild of the components. Engine, suspension, brakes, etc.The 3rd part could be this episode....... Patchelicious and nathrix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
