techno Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just have to say if you have never been go, go when its quiet I just had one of the best, if not the best riding experiances ever.For someone who likes and enjoys fast road riding it is brilliant fun and even tho I respected the skills of the guys that do the TT now having seen the roads and especially how tight bottom of bray hill is my respect has grown!We had about 9/10 hours of glorious weather to test ourselves and the bikes performance the speeds achieved wernt mega but more than quick enough, passing peoples drives at 120 and keith hit 135 on the mountain myself as a first timer 125 but those speeds were achievable more so regularly on the lower roads and the stunning coast road to laskey where myself and steve had a little sprint st v fz1 battle lol.One of the bizzare things is when your tanking along over the ton a bit and it just then says 30 on a sign you soon learn how bikes scrub speed Anyway stunning place when its dry and heres a few pics.
