techno 3,476 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Not sure how many on here watch or are intrested in this except @Diddums but it's that time of year. Having ridden round the island hitting 130mph the fact these guys hit 130+ average speed is mind blowing. Already in practice Micheal Dunlop has done an unofficial 135.53mph lap on the superbike and broken the supertwin lap record from a standing start. Anyway here's on onboard from day one practice, I heard no lap timer to take the pressure off while they get up to speed. To think the big bike races are 6 laps too that's hard.

techno 3,476 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Nothing to add other than we see the usual comments on social media about banning the the race which does a disservice to the memories of those lost.

techno 3,476 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 The previous post somewhat sours the fact Micheal Dunlop is close to overtaking his uncle with the most wins round the island and in doing so breaks the lap record for the supersport class which are mainly 600cc.

phil bottle 9,589 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 These guys are amazing I have to say. With my concentration skills I'd be brown bread very very quickly on a normal motorbike, never mind something like TT.
