Re: TT is on Speed Channel Right Now

They just re-played the 2002 Senior TT with DJ winning....huevos grande....

Oddly enough, I got my issue of BiKe today....it had apparently went to print a few weeks ago, as there was a nice interview with DJ on the page opposite an article on Katoh.....spooky....

Fitting finish to the Formula One race, don't you think? Outstanding!

And how about those sidecars? That's the first time I've seen the on-board cameras for that genre of racing. Lunacy! Inches off the ground makes the velocity seem about doubled.

Those guys are insane! The speed, the curbs, trees, fences. Easy to see how someone could be lost.

Re: TT is on Speed Channel Right Now

Hopefully I will see the IoM before its banned....
And I would really like to do Mad (Bloody) Sunday.....slowly

On the subject of the lunacy of the riders...
Here's an excerpt from DJ's interview in the June 03 issue of BiKE


BiKE Magazine
How many times on a TT lap do you think 'Oooooer', that was a bit close?

David Jeffreries
Not many, really, because I ride within my limits and I don't tend to scare myself. If I'm a bit unsure of something I'll shut off and try it again the lap after, which is what you've got to do with the Isle of Man.


Watching him, its amazing to imagine what he considers to be his 'limits'......godlike to say the least....

Want more IoM madness.....pick up a copy of 'V4 Victory'

I caught about an hour of the coverage. Out standing watching this race. Very different from short, closed courses. Those guys ride incredibily hard. Huge respect.
