jasper65 6 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 One lucky fella always loved watching the bike racing expecialy the isle of man. the onboard footage certainly make the hairs stand up on the back of the neck ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 4,005 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Connor is from here (isle of man) and got a GREAT RECEPTION last week , bit off a local hero, think he was just getting his confidence back this yr , if you watch Connor video its lucky he bounces over the wall , cause if he'd off hit it he would of certanily died , the bloke killed drivin the sidecar was in his 60's and only had 1 eye , i kid you not , think those in charge should start lookin at age/fitness off competitors in future , i never miss a race , to me its the ULTIMATE/TOUGHEST challenge in world sport , these boys have some bottle , MGP boys get the fame and big money not in same league as these TT boys , Rossi was over here couple of yrs ago and was blown away watching it live , he couldnt believe the course 37miles and speeds they do , through villages and surrounded by stone walls , no gravel /run off's here .

lanesra 4,005 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 i remember barry sheene saying feck that -- he never raced thr and took some stick for it .. He did race here but didnt fancy it , he did take stick and still people here slate him but thats unfair , the isle of man's not for everyone , but it shouldnt take away how good he was on a bike and barry sheen was a GREAT circuit racer .
