NW200

Did you guys hear that the Michael Rutter demolished all the oppostion in the NW200. Won it by a mile. Literally.

Clocked at over 200mph on the Coleraine straight. Remember these are public roads with street lights, telegarph poles, bus shelters etc etc.

Nutty as a fruit cake all of them

PS forgot to mention he was on a Blade

Re: NW200

This certainly bodes well for the Isle of Man championship this year, if Rutter is expecting to race there. Any word on that, Proto?

Sweet, but they are nutters. Can't wait for the Isle of Man, sadly this year it will again remind of Jeffries and Dunlop

PS forgot to mention he was on a Blade
Yes ! Then he went to Modello Park and set pole ,led race 1 from Reynolds and then slipped off !
Came back for race two and won it from Reynolds !
The good news is that it comes off the line well now with the slipper clutch fitted . Mind you , he has got Tady Okada looking after him and Adrian Gorse as mechanic plus a complete Michelin team just for his HM Plant team !
What we need to see now is Vermuelen with a decent slipper clutch in his WSB 'Blade and he will get closer to the only decent Ducati rider out there -Laconi!
