Most excellent TT compilation

[george formby]

As I understand it, keeping the gas on when off the ground caused it. Logically, it makes sense, engine revs up, more gyroscopic forces applied to a spinning mass already slightly out of line, bike kicked out. I could be very wrong and maybe some of the racers on here can clarify?

I reclon a Crusty Demon or Travis Pastrana could shed some light on that style of riding.

It is a repost, but I forgive you. The opening sequence blows me away, bloody awesome on the stereo, the dog hates it.......

Yes I was watching that on youtube yesterday, Also other tt clips. Very neat to watch. I moaned that the movie closer to the edge was a little boring, but I have the dvd and have watched lots of times. These guys I bow down to! I did saw a clip on a subaru that reakons it has the fastest lap time on this track I didint watch it but might now. Somehow I find it hard to think a car can beat a bike lap or mayby it can.
( JUST WATCHED AT END SAYS ALL TIME FASTEST CAR LAP )

LOL.

Was this the fastest lap time for a car?I remember a thread somewhere else with that subaru having the fastest lap time.I think,primarily because no other major sport car has raced on that track so their claim would be probably against a mini lol

Footage of this years race is on at Hoyts at the end of the month:

Sweet it will be interesting to see if there is more on track footage this time.

Was something like 114/115mph lap. Search for the nearly lose of all time! There's a couple of angles where (can't remember his name) has a full lock to lock moment over Agos leap at around 140mph! Shortly after (just after QB) he turns to the co driver and says 'are you ok?', he says 'yeah fine', followed by 'that was the biggest moment of my life!'. Epic, do check it out.

Just watched the Subaru drive of the TT.. have to admit it was epic for a car driver, Higgins even on the 'demo' lap with the cameraman on board and nearly losing it on Ago's leap was outstanding. Still 15mph to catch the fastest bike lap,,, That's a 'scary' thought to imagine having seen that one.

I have watched that TT clip about 7 times in the last 2 days, I think it is one of my all time favourites.

Probably as it unloaded it simply broke traction and spun up and tried to overtake the front.

My favourite race

His rear wheel touches down (it's not actually that high off the ground, maybe an inch?) on the side of the tyre which fires some of the torque (which would be quite a lot) at a sine of the angle to the direction of motion (aka sideways)

I cbf with a vector diagram but you should get the idea.
