NW200 2026

[Smartbazza]

I got pulled a couple of years ago for a small plate and the cop told me not to worry about it after he had checked I was insured etc.

He said you would be amazed at the number of bike fans in NI that pull a bike out once a year to go to the NW without licence, insurance, mot nor tax.

Tomorrow afternoon / evening 16:00 until 19:00 there is a gathering at the pits of over 20 year old bikes (I think But there are many modern ones that sneak in)

Pretty Much the one thing I try to attend every year! Strangely thought I go up and stick my old klanger on the row of bikes

R100Rs a few years ago
98K R1150RT 2 years ago
Escargot, <- Original Thread

Last year Post#78 Quite an event for me to be honest as it had lay about the place for years half assembled Ehm Maybe 15 ~ 16 years

It was a rough and ready spur of the moment thing for this Video, It Might be loud in places!!

Looks like a great day for racing, let’s hope for a safe day for all the riders.

Great days racing and the iplayer coverage is good, must be 7-8 hrs of 2026 plus some 2025 footage they used following 2026 red flags. I admire the Dunlops Harrisons of this world for racing multiple times per day. Not only on different manufacturers but different classes. Different bike : Same commitment

Telling interview with Glenn Irwin after the last race when he said “ today I have seen lines (S. Stacy) out of corners I didnt think were possible” . Other big kudos for John McPint who proved age is just a number.
