Title: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: abby normal on June 01, 2014, 04:04:56 PM Holy crap the BMW is fast. He walked away from guy martin
On the straights during the super bike race. Dunlop set a new Track record which was bested by the guy who finished third if I recall. At least guy got a 2nd. Damn I wish he would Get lucky and take a win this year. Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: koko64 on June 01, 2014, 04:24:42 PM How'd Cam Donald go?
Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: Grampa on June 01, 2014, 05:03:09 PM 3rd in super bike
Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: koko64 on June 01, 2014, 05:04:41 PM I know him through a friend. He's an unassuming, easy going, down to earth fella.
Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: abby normal on June 01, 2014, 05:23:21 PM Web site says conor cummins got third in the super bike.
Cam (on the norton?) isn't listed in the top 10. Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: abby normal on June 01, 2014, 05:31:25 PM I tell ya ... Anyone who can ride a modern bike with the
Throttle pinned on that course is special. The tv coverage Show the houses and trees going by faster than my normal Brain can register ... Info overload for a normal person. Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: swanny on June 02, 2014, 05:11:06 AM Bruce Ansty was the guy who set the lap record on the last lap. He was flying for sure!
Cameron McDonald was way down on power and speed so he didn't have a good superbike race at all. I think he might have had engine issues as well. Might have to try to tie a WSBK Donington Park Race Weekend/IOM TT Practice Week trip together next year if the schedules line up like they did this year. Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT?

Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: ZLTFUL on June 04, 2014, 10:05:49 AM Brandon out of the superbike race on the second lap with clutch issues...
The same issues in the superstock race. Apparently Larry Pegram had clutch issues with the EBR at Road America last week too... http://www.brandoncreturacing.com/ (http://www.brandoncreturacing.com/) Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT?

It was likely me being ESL, but I had very hard time understanding Guy when he was talking, when I watched Closer To The Edge [drink]Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT?

Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: Grampa on June 06, 2014, 03:15:38 PM watch connors offroad adventure from up on the hill a few years ago, then watch this years superbike footage and see if he flinches at that corner.
not [bow_down] Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: abby normal on June 07, 2014, 06:18:39 AM Holy crap ... The senior TT ... 6 laps (240 miles) at 130 mph.
Guy Martin Goes home with 2nd and a 3rd on the super bikes. I think with the new guys coming up his chances of a win are Diminishing. Title: Re: Anybody watching the IOM TT? (spoiler alert) Post by: Grampa on June 07, 2014, 01:15:03 PM he needs to dismount the gazooki
