Hey Xtian

Make me a copy...pleeeeease...  ;D

Havent had it transmitted this year, because off some channel-switcharound-thingie that my TV-provider has made last year (well, not all bad...now i`ve got the opportunity to follow Curling and Synchronized swimming on a very high level in prime time, instead of Paris-Dakar Rally and Isle of Man to keep me up all night  :-\ ).

Isle of Man is not a race track it is public roads closed off for the race. It is 37 miles around and they do 6 laps at a lap speeds of 131mph......that is quick

I have been recording the whole TT and am editing out the ads...... ;D ;D

it's fascinating to watch, even a little {a lot} bit scary sometimes,

 watched the story 'sunday night' did last week on it,, Murry Walker,,{the voice of motor sport} said his dad won it in the early 20's or 30's I think he said,,

in the story during the week leading up to this yrs race if I heard right, 7 people had died trying,,

maybe I don't get it, can a race track {if you call it that} be to small for some machines,, it'd be kind of like putting todays V8's on an early 1970's bathurst track, it's do-able but

I know at some point they open it as a race track to the general riding public,, the fella that thinks he's bullet proof, but finds out he's not and that's when a few people die,, but is that before or after the main race days
