Hey guys, I don't know if any of you follow the Isle of Man motorcycle races,
but how about over 200mph between houses, stone walls and trees. Last year
Kiwi Bruce Anstey's superbike telemetry showed 206mph through the sulby speed
trap....and he never won! Over here in Ireland we have a great tradition of
real road racing, you can sit on a stone wall as they flash by 3 feet away,
sideways at over 150mph with the throttle pinned.Talk about a feeling of
speed. At our local race an aquaintance of mine on a Fireblade hit 203mph in
the rain, he said 'it was getting a bit loose,' yet he never backed off! The
TT is on right now for anyone interested, check out www.iomtt.com or
www.realroadracing.com and enjoy!
All the best from an unusually warm (16c) Ireland.
John.
