Keith Amour is Racing the CBR 600 Honda that I was going to be racing at the TT this year

You watch how good the bike is, it is built by the same 2 guys that Built Eugine Laverties bike in the WSB Scene, currently 2nd in that championship.

And I have a weekend booked with that bike for later in the year, for a very fast young man to go over and test on????\

Any one got any air fare money for him

[Shaun Harris]

That looks...intense. Fun!



If you were prepared to put your total life on the line Jay, YOU would be very fast on the roads over there, I KNOW!

But surely you have been flat out up a/your driveway before?? Still looks good to me. Some decent bumps there though huh!

Looks like the pick of the bunch too me , compared to the others & less intense than the the IOM shaun ?

But the IOM is a TT and not a mass start! Talk about putting your life in someone elses hands...

Anyone seen the two laps with Anstey? He looks like he's on a sunday cruise....then you see how fast the trees are going past!! Its the largest motorsport even in the UK, 120,000 odd people turning up for race day!

[BIG DOUG]

Typical Bruce looking as relaxed as ever,not bad for an old bugger Annie must be looking after him well.

[Matt Bleck]

racing on the website now!

[SPman]

So, Bruce pipped at the post by Steve Plater in both the races he finished - bugger!
Shame the last 2 races were cancelled because of the weather.
