100 years since the Mountain Course started at the Isle of Man TT

**jellywrestler** · 29th May 2011, 11:50

1911 was the first time the Mountain section of the Isle of Man T.T. course was used. The route differs slightly from what is used today but only slightly and was known as the 'Four Inch Course'
One of the features at this years T.T. will be the centenary of the first Motorcycle races over the Mountain.
Practice Starts tommorow...

Will at least I think bruce's honda won't break down like those TAS bikes and he might get to finish some races.

The weather seems to be picking up now too. Which can only be good. It's been crap for the last fortnight. 25hrs and counting until first practice starts. Bring it on!

Listening to manx radio for the classic races at the moment, no mention of the weather.

Go Bruce!!!!

**SWERVE** · 31st May 2011, 18:54

the IOM wouldnt be the same without the Dunlop name showing in the top 5.
Big up to the boys for carrying on the legend.

Ryan F will be hungry for an IOM top finish.
And a good start from I Mackman he been doin the IOM since ages ago.
Still the greatest race on earth
