I just saw a jacket I really liked, and I was going to buy it.

Then I looked at the back and saw a huge fairy.

I tried taking photos yesterday, but the bikes went too fast :sad:

This is one of very few that actually managed to get a bike in the frame. Most look like this:

Unfortunately, I don't think racing works like that :sad:

Just run out onto the track with portable speed bumps. It would makes an interesting new challenge for them and they're not as expensive as I expected them to be.

If it's called free practice why wasn't I allowed a go anyway

You were allowed. Just remember if you try this next time the cars with flashing lights that chase you are there to encourage you to go faster not to stop you.

Very nice! Your link on the side goes to the old TSR motorbike society though.

You ever looked at linking to this blog from other sections of the site like the Travelling section? It's a nicely written blog and others will probably be interested in reading about it.

Thanks for the heads up about the link. I'll put that on my to do list.

I could do. I'll put it on the other thread and see what people think =).

Anyone in here following the IOM TT this year? I have "like"'d the Guy Martin and the Dianese facebook page so just got the race result from today spoiled for me. Foolish.

Real shame we can't watch them live anywhere online though. I would happily pay if there was an option.

Having to wait until the evening to see highlights is annoying.

Also, i reckon i'm going to try and go next year. Now i'm finished at uni there won't be exams right at that time.

most of the ferry's for next year is already booked, more go on sale soon, but more expensive (goes on sale at the beginning of the season) as all sells out quickly)
this is assuming you are going just for the TT, if you go earlier and come back later then you might get a ferry (accommodation is another thing though)

ive now got 3 broken and 0 working bikes :cry:

the fazers cam chain is dangerously loose so i cant ride it till its replaced.

I'm sure we could work it out to go slightly early or late to get a ferry. Although speaking to my brother he may be wanting to do the Bol D'or down at paul Ricard instead.

How did you do that to the fazer? And how did you notice? Weird engine noise?

Fell of my bike yesterday :frown:

Just a little CBR125. First time I've ever fallen off, surprisingly didn't hurt. Guess I was lucky, I did have full leathers on though. I was going down a country lane, took my eyes off the road for what seemed the most insignificant amount of time and before I knew it, I touched the grass as the road was bearing right.

Astoundingly, barely any damage. Cracked the fairings and ripped off an indicator, however the slight problem is the grooves on my front forks. It is as though someone has taken a key a scratched into them. Anyone know how serious this is?
