BBC News - Isle of Man TT: BBC reporter braves course ride

Just Awesome.

 

I want to go!

My first visit was in '78 when "Mike the bike" made his comeback and won as if he had never been away.
I also worked the pits a few times and of course drank a lot of beer, the palace Lido used to serve it in 1/2 gallon jugs to cut down on the queues.

 

I have been following the coverage on the box. This is the first year I have had a TV capable of more than 3 channels.

(Sean the BBC don't seem to allow other countries to watch stuff via their website, but rest assured I tried)

Those guys on the big bikes, flat through the town streets, with solid walls for company, and no run off areas at all, seem to have no fear.
