Dads reaction to TT Racers.

LOL These guys are just fearless doing those speeds on public roads.

Some of the best racing EVER. 2 wheels > 4 wheels...and the TT is at the top.

Did you go lanc?

Man I would love to go.

I live near a guy who was an official photographer who covered the race for years, He said he and his wife have so many lifetime memories from their many trips to IoM for the TT.

cheers.

No I've never been, I had the chance in the late 1980's to go with some friends, One of them had dropped out & the boat & hotel had been paid for but I couldn't get time off work I used to see a lot of bikers from Europe on the UK motorway network making their way to catch the IOM ferries at Liverpool. Everyone who has been says it's a fantastic weekend & the atmosphere is brilliant.

Really missed the TT this year.

Apparently, there is going to be new Road Race event on the Isle of Wight in 2021. (COVID permitting). Should be interesting. There are some great roads on the IOW.

Those sidecar outfits certainly get down the road at pace at the IOM TT.

This thread reminds me of something Mario Andretti said in an interview, after the interviewer commented that Mario certainly "had things under control" out there...

Andretti laughed and replied, "Maybe it looks that way to you, but it wasn't like that for me!"

The interviewer asked him to expand on this thought. Andretti smiled and said, "If everything seems like it's under control, you're not going fast enough!"

It's that time of year again, with some great racing action at the IOM TT races.

 

[DeafDumbBlind Kid]

sounds like my neighborhood around 5 o'clock when the inmates, er, residents start coming home form work.

I used to have a neighbour - a photographer - who had a paid gig photographing the TT every year…

What a great gig. Flown from Australia and accommodated, expensed and paid.

He had some awesome images.

Cheers.
