Isle of Man - The Mountain Course

Bottom post of the previous page:

It's that time of the year again!

Normally, I'd have posted this under music.
But watch Peter Hickman and these onboards. Mega shivers when watching his Bimmer dancing as she does on some well known roads to me. Nothing but admiring bike control there !

Love the fact that the video is actually a continuous part of the lap. It shows that the Priest guys care. Normally, you'd expect a director or editor to pick random pieces of footage and put them together with no regard to continuity, just pieces of spectacular road rage glued together at will. How many of the Priest fans would notice? How many of us would notice? Only hardcore fans notice, and it shows that it's a video by hardcore fans for hardcore fans!

I guess you will be off soon. You going to watch and marshal as well?

Yep & Yep ....
Went to meet my lift over at Oschersleben today which was great in itself. He's spannering for Wilbers BMW in IDM these days.
I'll be doing both watching and marshal throughout the fortnight.
We're going Thursday for Rotterdam Hull overnight and Heysham Douglas on Friday. Should be there Friday eve.

Another mate of me, Shaun Anderson, will be teaming up with Michael Dunlop on the Hawk Suzi. He was always there and thereabout in regards to a top ten finish so fingers crossed he can get into there

One more sleep only
There'll be a livestreaming service called TT+ for 15gbp with live footage of the racing, 25 secs delayed though.
I've not bought it and won't as in most places I've eyed up the phone signal may be good but the transfer rates drop significiantly and over there, the accu gets sucked out anyway. Just a radio tuned to AM1368 somewhere in a hedge for me

Here are two pics of my mates Shaun & Sarah Anderson (born Boyes), a racer in her own regard who did the Manx a couple times. Both nicked from Facebook
During the past two TT's I did some wet patch spotting for Shaun as the marshals can take a minibus to destination and since I went halfway round most the time I would use the 45mins from Grandstand to Quarry Bends this way.
As Shaun used to be around top ten there and thereabouts on self serviced material this is a huge step forward for him and I certainly hope he can manage to break into the top ten this time round

My wishes as always at this time of year iare that the weather is kind and hopefully that will in turn affect or influence event casualties in a positive way. I know its too much to ask for it to be free of major and tragic consequences but thats the hope. As near to zero as possible.

Safe event to all competitors, marshals and spectators.

No Andy Gas/Electric bills put an end to that thought

Good morning from the Isle of Man
Excuse me please for the late post. I have had a couple of problems in regard to the mobile as well as marshaling most the time. This means no pics from pre TT at Billown as I have marsheled there both days.
I've only watched Monday night so I don't have that much photos. The weather has been really kind so far and we've only had one bad incident involving Sam West at Laurel Bank so far.
It's another day on the lovely rock in the Irish Sea and I've to get stuff sorted, so here's one of the early and only pics I've got so far.
It's great to be back here after such a long absence anyway.
Moghrey mie and enjoy
