    Anyone know why they shortened the Supersport and Superstock races to 3 laps?

    To make up for lost time lost by incidents and wether.

    Why do you have an R1?

    It's rhetorical, you don't have to answer. I just think that if you have a sports bike you need to ride it like a sports bike and doing a road with no speed limit, no oncoming traffic and no chance of losing your licence is some kind of fucking nirvana.
    Funnily enough, no one has ever asked me that question.

    Tired mechanics working all night, and tired riders practicing at 5am was a recipie for disaster.
    the first TT's had practice at 3 am. I was up everyday at 3 am for practice, first bike in the queue was first on the road, meant most laps practice. The rider of course didn't need to be there at that time.

    Jeeezus Spyda, I wouldn't want to be the first ones thru when the road opened !
    Often wondered how the road is cleared???

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    wasn't going to argue with Robert Holden, he'd been there more than me

    I've watched everything that was on Sky. They couldn't even be bothered changing the titles to be what actually happened. Didn't show the Supertwins either.

    Only 2 different winners on the bikes. That must be unusual. Dean Harrison was unlucky with the bird strike, but he was probably 2nd fastest anyway.

    But watching MD on the R6 had to be the highlight.
