Great vid but lol at the comment "KrazyFace2
This could be the most unintentional gayest video on Youtube. I just stared at this man's ass for 2 minutes. I won't be hitting the "like" button for this one..."

Ha ha - Agreed! Shows how much grief their bodies get whilst riding though.

Only just realised how close it actually is! New oil and filter and a gallon of fresh fuel tonight when I saw the 47 days post, thought I better pull my finger out! First start of 2014, shameful.

It's funny, you get older and birthdays and Christmas' lose their appeal and excitement the older you get. Yes, if kids are about then you get to re-live the Lego days and football in the park, but still for yourself it's not that exciting. Then why is it that the TT still gets me excited every year? It seems that every year the line up is strong, the excitement builds, there are stories in the build up, plans where to view, what to do etc. I also go to the Le Mans 24hr and it's the same every year, it just gets better and better and not once has there been a thought of not going the next year. Year 12 for me and it's still going strong.

I see Michael Dunlop is also going to be riding an ER6 in the SuperTwins lightweight, after Guy Martin announced his entry a few weeks ago. Wonder why they have both decided to have a crack on the twin this year?

Cool, start'em young. cool


Anyone else hear about Micheal Dunlop breaking his arm in qualifying crash at Brands then refusing to have X-Ray so he could still race with it?

Source: Jim Whitham saying in commentary that MD didn't have an X-ray after qualifying crash as a confirmed break would have stopped him racing yesterday.

Could be wrong, but iirc McPint is the only current TT front runner to have had real success on the shorts, ie win a title.

1996 British 250GP champ

Runner up in old supersport 600's

3rd in ssstk1000

If it's true MD has broken his arm, what a st time to do it.
