Oh looks like he’s a bit slow, only getting to 184mph in the speed trap not 190mph of the fastest bike, is he running on steam Didn’t have you down as an old biker Kwil

No I am a ghost “rider”, prefering to watch rather than do. I once rebuilt my son in law’s Kawasaki gearbox only to see the whole thing wrecked a few weeks later by a “blind” young girl driver!

[William RobertsParticipant @williamroberts98085]

Kwil,you were right about Guy Martin , what a rider and what bad luck for the bike to stop so near the end of the race, im sure we will hear a lot more of this young man. Thanks for your post I did’nt know it was on tv.

He should be in some of the other races over the week, its on ITV4 every night until Friday.

 

Still don’t find the timetrials as exciting as wheel to wheel racing though ther ewas not much overtaking as usual in todays MotoGP.

Watched it last night, in fact watching Murry Walker history of the TT at the moment [ commercials ] but found it unusual that the end of race commentary didn’t include Guy martin but covered one rider who broke down a few laps earlier.

 

Looking forward to the race tonight.

 

Gotta go adverts ending……………

Probably could not show any more as I think he was last shown heading for a pee under a tree.

Knowing Guy’s reputation (local lad and met his dad and sister) he was probably going to kick sh*t out of the tree for his bike breaking down.

Love the TT and cracking up the Mountain at 140mph+ (slow compared to the locals and the racers). Last there in 2008 and itching to get back when kids get older and give me more disposable income.

[John Stevenson 1Participant @johnstevenson1]

Well watched the sidecar race tonight and it was OK but I do miss the older type chairs where the monkey on the stick really has to hop about.

 

Still no more mention of Guy Martin ? yet another interview with the other bloke who broke down.

 

Has Guy pissed ITV off ?

 

Just doe a search and it turns out he got a flat battery.

The battery on his supersport bike must have been the right shape, came third in todays race.

Hi how lucky are you lot, !!!!!! down here in OZ, one commercial station now has motor GP, plus some local bike racing and, Foxtel has the super bikes, Foxtel some times show old replays of the TT but it seems to be only as a filler, and usually late at night, so to see Martin, Dunlop and some Aussies is great, just not enough coverage for my liking.

PS I have got a 1978 Z650, a Yamaha RT360, Both in exellent condition, and fully dismantled a 1976 Russian Dnepr 650cc, unfortunatley my leg is giving me strife so have not ridden for 2 yrs.

[KWILParticipant @kwil]

Tonight Tuesday 7th ITV4 20.00 there should be an interview with Guy M as to why he does it, this is Part 2 of 2 programmes ,missed most of Part 1 last night, but it is repeated at 19.00 tomorrow.

[jomacParticipant @jomac]

KWIL. Im’e getting green about the gills with envy, the only thing Iv’e got forward to look at is replays of the bloody tennis, More Snooker and motor bike racing, please.

Watch the video on the top of this page for a laugh.

 

He thinks more of his stationary engine than racing.

Jomac, you should be able to get this in OZ

[jomacParticipant @jomac]

John Hi. there is a race on early tomorrow morning, but I dont think its the same one as you have. Later on in the week we have the Speedway. AMA racing then the motorcross. Sunday the Super bikes, I will tape it tomorrow and let you know.

[jomacParticipant @jomac]

My mistake, it was the Northern Ireland 200, NOT the TT, Those riders, like Rossi said must be crazy, road racing in the rain, even I was hanging on to my seat. By the way where is the electric bike these days ????.
