    "Watching a bike being ridden with such precision and speed is absorbing, to the extent that you can find the video several minutes through believing it had only just started. Ballsy is probably the word. Bring on TT 2014."

    Was at the Mclaren Motorshow last year and got chatting to a chap who races at the TT. He said he focuses on the road in front and nowt else. He does not see any of the people

    It's been out for a while this film but if you've not seen it before you're in for a treat

    Took this photo of Dunlop at the end of the second supersport race. I spent that race day mooching around the paddock and got down to the run off just as the race ended.
    The burnout was shown on the ITV 4 coverage from the helicoptor

    It surprised me how some people who watch the TT will get their chairs out and will be at the SAME spot for everyday of racing and they will be there from 7am in the morning.

    I prefered to move about. I had one day of racing sampling the atmosphere of the paddock and seeing everything up close.
    The Friday I went up on the mountain part of the course and on the other days I watched from other points around the circuit

    Ramsey sprint is a must.

    Same here.
    I can't understand people who wedge themselves in a hedge in the middle of nowhere thinking they've got the best spot.
    What do you do for food, drinks or if you need a poo?!
    Gingerhall is always a good shout.
    Corner, wheelie inducing rise, sweeping bend all viewable from a pub serving great food. 👍
