I'ill take a run at it.. reminds me of my younger days racing snowmobiles in the 70's, doing 125 mph on 1/2 mile tracks.. those were the good old days, young and foolish.. still am in some ways, always like speed..

Nice one Pikey, wheelie good video, tank slappers n everything, I think that at 6.20 the bike is overtakin the chopper. Check out Guy Martin vids, he had a major smash n burn on the island, was very fortunate to survive. Fastest I ever done waz 167mph on a gpz1000rx, I know that the speed reading was correct coz I had a Garmin gps in my shirt pocket.

TT is for real.
I've owned sports cars and bikes since I was 19 (that's 40 years for them who's counting)
Fastest I've gone on my present bike - 2012 Triumph America - is 95 mph.
But I don't know the bike well enough to go faster, only put a few hundred miles on her.
She's got a lot still to give at 95, but I need to trust her more.
I'm gettin' old.

Funniest thing I saw on T. V.

Fellow was recruited into the British Army in WW2.

Sent to be a courier. Motorbikes. Sergeant instructor starts the crew instruction and this fellow seems a bit bored so the sergeant says, 'Allright, you, you won't listen to me, get on and show us how it's done.'
And boy did he show them; champion rider!
