DSPUK Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Anyone just watch the prog on ITV4 about John McGuiness - They have to have a screw loose to do that. I was there when first 100mph lap was posted and now it's 131mph - I can still hear the Honda 6's and MV 6's coming over the mountain. - Good old days when I was 21 - 47 yrs ago - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgguinness Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 An amazing place, and a crazy week, gets me all tingly just thinking about it. Such an atmosphere. Balls of steel those guys have. I much prefer Guy Martin mind what a lovely bloke. Have you seen 'Closer to the edge'?? That's a cracking film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 The TT zero race (electric bikes) was fun All 3 podium places cracked the 100MPH lap, (McGuiness was second) fastest was 104MPH, first time in a race the 100MPH lap had been broken giving Michael Rutter a £10k bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Man Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Motorcycles give me the heebie Jeebies since I met a chap after he was struck by a car and ended up hitting the raised kerbstone, ultimately resulted in a hindquarter amputation. Decided that I was far too wussy to ride a motorbike. Got to admit that I do agree that they have 'balls of steel'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stick to petrol, thank you all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
