It is Cats and Dogs at Castle Combe for day two of the two day test today.

12 days to go

I bought one of these last week

I have been using it since last Weds to charge my iPhone each night and my GoPro every other night to see how it does ahead of my TT camping trip.
Has still got 3 lights (4 lights is full) of energy left, very impressive.


Highly recommended

Pre-NW200 test today

It's a good looking bike, but not in the same league as the Honda Legends livery, in my opinion.

Maybe a first win for Connor? That would be good.

Hopefully more wins for JMcG, Anstey, and Martin. I think this is Guy Martin's last chance year.

I think this is Guy Martin's last chance year.

It pains me to say it (I'd love Guy to win one as much as everyone would) his best chance for a win was the Wilson Craig package that he Fireballed.
I just can't see TAS/Tyco Suzuki putting together a TT winning package.

Everything will be crossed, I'd love Guy to prove me wrong


Here's to a safe one

 

[Blackal]

Yes - Wilson Craig had fast superbikes that year, but I think Guy was outriding his capability for all of that race - and it bit him. As you say - Suzuki are a ways behind Honda.

It is going to be interesting to see what Micheal Dunlop can do with the BMW S1000RR if can keep running (reliability has been an issue for the team so far)

Taken yesterday (not by me).

 

[y2blade]

I'm always lurking around somewhere, and I'm sure wideload and deetee will be around too

I've yet to have the pleasure of meeting yourself or Wideload...have met DeeTee loads of times though, always good bumping into him

 

[Paul Young]

I remember bumping into Dave a few years ago on Douglas quayside, where his megamoto was parked up next to Jim Bryan's. We had a nice little blast around to Barregarrow, over the top towards Brandywell then down past the reservoir and back to town. It's not often you see a brace of MM's having fun like that...

 

[Ian M]

I shall be on the IOM from Thursday 29th. In previous years, I have failed to manage to get along to meet folks.... must try harder this year, but it always turns into such a busy week.

 

[Grumpy Lee]

How about a sort of scheduled meet up on Thursday 5th early evening-ish somewhere?????

Maybe a loco (Piebaps?? Wideload??) or someone could suggest somewhere (and maybe one that's not infested with all them there *king motorcyclists )
