MICHAEL DUNLOP ON THE TT

[Paintman]

"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."

I was there. My record breaking lap of the mountain course is in the next issue of the BMF magazine - out anytime now

You can't learn that stuff,you've either got it or you haven't.Astounding !!! TT beats the hell out of MotoGP :cool:




Edit: Don't be getting any funny ideas when you pick the bike up tomorrow Paintman :)

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

I just watched some footage of an evening bimble :) I had last summer down the north coast of Cornwall.It looked like slow motion after watching that :cool:

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. 👍

We spend one day inside the circuit - Ginger Hall, Bungalow and Sulby Church yard (the PO adj to the Church does hot drinks & there are loos behind the church) the other days outside at various locations according to weather forecast what race we are watching etc. Variety is the spice of life.
Did a few years marshalling at a couple of different points - now that does lock you in for the day but boy do you see the racing close up!

In the video it looks like they've speeded it up. These riders are insane :cool:
