Isle of Man TT

[Big Jeff]

Any fans on here? It’s scary stuff and unfortunately the accidents are often fatal. Let’s hope we have a safe event this year.

It's brilliant.
Probably the best "free show" there is.

The “on bike” footage is terrifying.

The electric bikes are getting very good now as well.

Balls of steel mind the riders, or just plain crazy. Then again probably a bit of both.

Fantastic to watch, would love to go one day.

Was about to post that pretty much exactly word for word!

Lad from Murton died there a few year back, sadly. Not for the faint hearted

There's a video on YouTube of some poor bugger in it hitting a pub wall at well over 100 mph. Just crazy man.

I think that is The Raven (the pub) horrible crash.

I've just been over, setting up big screens in the pit straight and fan park, absolutely love the place now, gutted I didn't get to see any of the racing though...on the ferry on me way back now

It’s an amazing event, great to have it back, amazed the health and safety nazis haven’t had it curtailed. Love that clip of VR 46 watching them in disbelief.

 

[Wilsonian]

One mistake and you're in someone's kitchen.

Wadn't.

Aye the health and safety nazis stopping people from killing themselves. What a set of wankers eh

Is Guy Martin competing?

He obviously won't be.

Massive respect to the lads in it again this year. Earning your living in a manner that can lead to your death at any moment is something not many can relate to.

I'll be watching it through the cracks in my hands as usual.

The question I can never get an answer to is; how do you sit astride a bike when your balls are that big?

Why?

One of my neighbours has gone over on ferry from Santander I think.

Says it's illegal for Spaniards to go but he doesn't care

 

[derum]

The worlds greatest road races, bar none.
Balls of steel required from all competitors, but especially the nutters in the sidecars.

 

[Tuono]

The whole meeting will be livestreamed starting today and highlights will be on TV during the week but I can't remember which channel.
As Peter Hickman said the aim is to win the race at the slowest speed possible.

 

[Raker]

A lot of my family used to live there, they loved this time of year. My gaffer is going over with his son, they love it. Bloody lunatics mind.

 

[Big Jeff]

Do they still do Mad Sunday?
