Isle of Man TT 2025

[jellywrestler]

I see the 2025 IOMTT has just finished in the last few minutes and not a whisper on here about it. Seemes the site is more interested in this day in history, trump and vaccines that happened over half a decade ago.
Shame that.

This seems appropriate.

why don't you pm both the people who actually give a toss?

There have been good summaries on YouTube all through practice week and the races. They are sill there. In much of it though the bikes are just a blur.

There's quite a few people live rent free in your head these days it seems.

yip, gets better every year, they seem to be catering for the people tuning while not looking after those on the island as much these days. The on line package was a bargain at I think $54 too.

I think I saw something on TV last night about the final big race at he TT ? But I was watching the Tennis which was brilliant !!

Rutter had an off in SuperTwins, Hickman had an off as well (Senior practice?). Carl Cox was there (one of MD's sponsors). McGuinness 7th in Superbike.... great effort.

I think it’s that we all get the latest news about IOM or whatever event in our newsfeeds that a social media conversation about it a couple days later feels bit redundant unless there’s an element of what will happen next etc.

Was going to post Wicked clip of Dunlop kissing curb with front tyre at massive speed kicking rear full lock sideways but thought everyone will see it anyway.

Finding the same phenomenon in work conversations too in regards that everyone has usually seen/read pretty much same stuff. We did mange real world TT conversation an normal people think it’s quite crazy little do they know it’s not far off some peoples Sunday rides lol

Social media is junk food for the brain in between eating “healthy” information about what ever cool stuff your into, bit like tuning into news talk zb et al on a lonely late night drive.

Watch from 30 secs in if short on time two camera angles and slow mo

Shame the Senior TT was cancelled,

MItch Rees did well as a newbie,

cool to hear Robert Holden's name mentioned as the last rider to win a TT on a ducati in Michael Dunlop won the SUpersport TT,

yeah he did, what about the newcomer sidecar swinger who was third and the newcomer sidecar team 2 x 5th placings, that is outstanding, mid silver replica territory too. i have a list of the first 45 replicas kiwis won, 30 silvers and 25 bronzes showed they punched well above their weight

I aw some youtube stuff on Mitch,and some mad footage of the bikes on the ferry. The ferries seem to be fitted out just to take bikes. rows and rows of metal railings to tie the bikes in gear on the sidestands.
Praps someone needs to start a thread each year

[jellywrestler]

maybe as no one died at this years TT it didn't spark the interest of the people on here?

I started a thread two years ago but there were some negative comments about the TT so I haven't bothered since.

Sky has highlights of the races. This year they also have a doco that is basically an onboard of Hicky's 135 mph lap from 2018 with him commenting. It's called The Ultimate Challenge, worth a look if you can find it.

There is a lot of accommodation available in such a vacant location

That's a but cynical. On the motogp thread there is a fair amount of interest. To be fair it is accessible on TV and exciting. Maybe it just naturally captures more attention for those simple reasons.

A mate recently asked if I'd like to go to iom.
I thought about it and I'd rather go see Malaysia GP perhaps (done Philip Island 6 times). UK is a long haul and expensive.

Also roadbikes these days. A mate went to the Classic and saw an RS67(?) fire up. V4 125cc 2 stroke from crazy era of GP bikes. That would interest me more than another gixer, thou.
