MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Guy Martin crashes apparently too..
When Guy Martin talks, my brain melts down. 🙂
Can't wait... Just the repeat tonite but racing on its way.ive set a series link so I dont miss it.... It's the best Motorsport I e been to
McGuiness already lapping at 128.267mph..... pretty amazing!!!
I only need to walk 100 yards from my house to watch as well 8)

So come on then, who's going to shine this year (the weather hopefully- looking good so far).
William/Michael Dunlop - Supersport
Bruce Anstey - Superstock
Can't see anyone other than McPint on the big bikes. Although I'd love to see that Lorry Mechanic win one.
Be interesting to see if what McGuinness knows about the place is counteracted by his 'timber' on that leccy pile.
Where are you Applebrew?
I will be making my annual pilgrimage this week too - catching the ferry on Wednesday morning 8)
Got a bad feeling for McGuinness last night watching the show. Me and our lass both said it. Just get the feeling he's going to have a big off.
Would love Guy to do it this year, crazy mental bloke but wears his heart on his sleave and speaks his mind. Top bloke.
Agree with Billy, think the Dunlops will do something this year. They just have no fear of the place and are hungry for it.
Not jealous, but, certain Manxies have been posting gratuitous photos of themselves on Facebook, riding with the one & only Guy Martin on Nort Barrule. wish I still lived there 😥 (but not in the winter as it sucks!)
I think William Dunlop stands a good chance of a win on the 600, he was absolutely flying at the NW200, and was around 1.5mph faster than Cam Donald in last nights first practice. As long as Michael doesn't blow his bikes up, he'll be there or there abouts.
I would love to see Gary Johnson win on the big bike, he stands a good chance this year too as he's on Padgetts for the superbike. He's a really nice bloke too, and hilarious when drunk!
Guy say's that he's changed his approach this year, we'll see how he gets on come Saturday, he certainly has the talent to take a win if he can keep himself on it for the full 6 laps. But having seen his performance at the NW, I think he might still be fuelling himself on pure aggression!
Skiprat, I know exactly what you mean about McGuiness, he's one of those riders who you never really picture going into retirement.
Cheers just read this in time.
REC done

I fear for that boy, watching him last year through Barregarrow was scary

😀 I moved over to the IOM purely because I love motorbikes and road racing so much. It's definately a great place to live for the cycling as well.

Always space in the garden to camp as long as you don't mind sharing your tent with my dogs who would no doubt want to sleep outside with the 'guests' lol

The smart money has to be on McGuiness this year on the big bikes. He put in the quickest practice times again tonight with a 129.411 mph average on a 17:29 min lap.

I'm based in Kirk Michael on the west of the Island. The weather over here is fantastic at the moment, so you should be in for a great time 8)
Ample......I'm interested in your garden patch....... But it may have to be next year if ok....... Possibly this year.....if ok ?
Stw tt road trip?? I'm in!
ok slightly off topic, but no it isnt.. But James Hillier will be racing in the Isle of Man SES TT Zero race next Wednesday (June 6th). The project, which is being supported by Kawasaki Motors UK, will see a Ninja ZX-10R chassis powered by a Zytek Permanent Magnet oil cooled KERS motor.
The back up battery used for the electronics will be from mtbbatteries [url= http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/TT-road-races/2012/May/may2312-hillier-to-race-kawasaki-in-tt-zero/ ]Electric TT Race[/url]
Just something I wanted to share with you all.. 8)
I fear for everyone at the TT 🙁 William Dunlop is the one that makes me close my eyes and say prayers.
Love bike racing but fell out of love with the TT a while back.
Well I've booked my ferries for next year, going out for both weeks 😀
I rode the circuit a bit last week.
If the roads were closed off I reckon I'd have a chance of being on the podium 😉
To average 130mph around there seems quiet amazing, really.

I should be in The Mitre tomorrow (and nightly thereafter) for a half of Shandy - we camp at Glen Wyllin each year 8)
Keep your eyes peeled for a red-faced, overweight, middle aged IT person and come say hello.
