Back from Manx GP, my first time on the Island . Mad as a box of frogs. No Speed limits when your out of town,Sportsbikes overtaking on the inside at the same time overtaking on the outside and that wasn't the races. Rocket piggy in the middle, used lots of fuel tryin to get on terms on the straight bits. Very entertaining, But not as crazy as the TT races when the Power Rangers are really out in force I've been told. The races are wild, I had seen them on TV and you tube but in the flesh it's a different experiance with bikes flashing past 10 feet in front of you at 150+ mph. It can give you a painful neck watching them. Went to the classic show at Jurby, a much calmer experiance . Here are some photos of some of the bikes
