Not sure there's a thread on the IOM TT
but here's a quick photo to remind us what 250km/h can do to a seagull

I'd like to hear Guy Martin describe that experience...even if it wasn't Guy on that bike ;D
Updates from Brandon:
Forgot to update my Twitter. Had an off on the mountain yesterday in the Superbike race at the 27th milestone. Thankfully I am OK!
(John McGuinness was coming up on him and Brandon went wide to give him room...unfortunately he gave him too much room and Brandon managed to clip the curb and literally fell down the mountain. He is OK after being airlifted out and given the once over.)
I need to emphasize that it was not McGuinness' fault that I went down. It was my fault 100%. It is just one of those racing incidents. John was coming through fair and square and I ran out of talent. lol
Got the bike back this morning and it is fixable. Thinking about getting it ready for Wednesday night practice to do a lap and see how I feel.

At least it wasn't a wild turkey... not the one in the bottle! [laugh] [laugh] Sorry, I never get tired of this joke! ;) [beer]
Saw on a friend's FB feed that the MotoCzysz bike had done a practice lap over 100, which would the first ton on an electric.

but it was "uncomfirmed" because it was not a race lap...
Rutter breaks the "TON" official like now!!
