There you go Von, superbikes and an Evo X all being used to their absolute full potential legally in the UK.
As it's lawful I take it you have no objections?

I bet he was popular with the bikers.
He can go and do that any day but no, has to be when the TT is on and he's got to go and put bikers at risk.

A car driving on a closed road. Not much skill there. Obvisouly not a biker.
Pulled a few dangerous moves passing the bikes on the run in to right hand bends.
Passed several as they were heading towards the centre line.
He could have taken them out as they tipped their machines into the corner.

But given the road was 2 lanes in one direction. Could you not argue that the bikers should not have been looking to pull into the overtaking lane when a faster moving vehicle was approaching. If I pull out in front of a car doing 100mph on the motorway and get hit...that's my fault.

Similar to the 'ring, too many bikers mistakenly assuming they are the quickest thing out there...

Umm so fine if they pull out out in front of another bike but they can't use them to see a faster carPulled a few dangerous moves passing the bikes on the run in to right hand bends.

IMO he was on closed throttle each time he encountered a bike to his left looking to move right, gave them enough time to see him and then accelerated cleanly away.
If I was riding there I'd be looking for bikes anyway before using the whole road as there's always somebody faster...
Yup! Esp at around 6.20 the biker should have seen him much earlier and moved over. As a biker I'm always aware that there'll be someone quicker than me so I'm watching my mirrors.If I was riding there I'd be looking for bikes anyway before using the whole road as there's always somebody faster...
Somewhat amused at the biker at ~8:40 who looked in his mirror and seemed to think he'd disappear into the distance and didn't.
I think he was the only one who didn't move over when they realised what was going on though.
Chuckled when I saw the Tranny mini bus, expected that 'Ring coach any minute.
