cfcjim Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 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

Patchelicious Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) 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 nathrix, Wannabe and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3
MTBeer Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 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
mazambaan Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 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.
cfcjim Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 First death of this year's event. So sad. http://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/40182422 Hope it's the last.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 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. 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
nathrix Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 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 Posted June 7, 2017 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?

He has the raw talent road racers need, and that the track stars often lack. You know that proper maverick type riding. Edited June 7, 2017 by Patchelicious

You know that proper maverick type riding. Might be his confidence but he reckoned he was beating Cal when their paths split..........
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 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....... nathrix and Patchelicious 2
