TT 2014

.......... there were much scarier places. I couldn't resist and just shouted out "Like where...?" Both riders looked at each other & said the bottom of Barregarrow so I asked why. Peter replied by saying; " it probably has a lotto do with going down the hill, fiat out in 5th with a long time to look at the wall you're aiming for, then compressing over the crown in the road so you bottom out the suspension and heading out through a very bumpy exit..." Brilliantly put.

It does look rather 'interesting' :)

Nice video...

The owner of that cottage on the left got a bit p'd off with having to replace his downpipe after each TT/MGP and re routed it a few years ago.

The next morning all loaded up and ready to rock

We were so lucky with the weather, it was dry until we boarded, then the heavens opened

Donned waterproofs before disembarking, and made the 4hr trek home in the rain and cold (for this time of year).....Thankfully my waterproofs held out 100% including gloves and boots...so I stayed dry and warm all the way home.

My beloved FireBlade was as always, faultless.

My total mileage for the TT trip was 800miles.
Roll on TT 2015 (I'm already booked for it).
 
Excellent
I did see Baron (Chris) on the rock, he was enjoying a borrowed Piekeys Peak Mutistrada
 
oooo just to add I used one of these for my trip, charged iPhone and GoPro with it.
