Archie-fox Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Guy Martin on the TT races.... Talk about pushing it!!!! One false move and it's all over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'd love to see Guy do well at the TT's. I know naff all about bike racing, but his sheer enthusiasm with whatever he's doing is totally infectious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriBsa Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 The amazing thing for me is that they have memorised every section of a 37.7 mile course. Then he's lapping at 127mph (4th in practice this year)/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 When you consider what must be done for safety on race tracks and in the various race series/formulas for bike or car it is staggering that the TT continues to run. Long may it continue though. Amazing video, but would frighten me to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I have massive respect and admiration for anyone that races bikes but the guys who race the street circuits are something else. I like Guy Martin, he comes across as a really nice bloke who hasn`t, and won`t let his celebrity status change him. I wish him all the best for this years races and hope he finally gets the win he so deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheene7 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Here's a scarier video showing Hutchy passing Mickey Dunlop the other night . A bit gutted I'm not going over this year , and to rub salt in the wounds I'm just about to take my son and his mates to the airport , so they can go over for a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 He is amazing, how ever I just hope he stops as I dont want to read that he`s been killed ! It would be nice to see him about for a while yet and one day be a Fred Dibnah inspireing old and young a like. ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James1983 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Love the TT and would love to get over to watch it one year. The riders are pushing it to the limits but they do it as they love the adrenaline it gives them. I have massive respect for them all.

JDog Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) The amazing thing for me is that they have memorised every section of a 37.7 mile course. Then he's lapping at 127mph (4th in practice this year)/ I agree. Not only do they have to remember every part of the track they have to compute what it looks like at very great speeds.

grrclark Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 This may be a daft question, but the paint they use for road markings on the TT circuit, is it bog standard road paint or do they use something that is a bit grippier given the unique circumstance of these roads?

sheene7 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't think that will happen now MD is riding the BMW? 225Hp eeek!! Think you might be right . it was a brave call from MD to walk away from the Milwaukee team , but that new R1 seems to have a serious problem with both the Milwaukee and Martrain bikes filling the airboxes with oil , there's no way I would want to race round the island on a bike that could be on the verge of imploding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Gutted I'm not going this year ! First time I've missed it in years but doing my house comes first ! Will definitely be going to the Manx GP though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
