manxie49 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 The mountain road always seems to be closed more than its open at this time of year!https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/mountain-road-closed-seven-minutes-after-re-opening/ Quote
manxie49 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 and no practice tonight , hopefully tomorrow Looks good for this evening, hopefully all goes to plan, just a bit windy Quote
skyrider Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 another lost practice session this evening because of the weather, they are considering having four consecutive race days next week Quote
manxie49 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Another crap day for racing....Keeping fingers crossed for this evening but looking out the window its doesn't look hopeful!No racing on Saturday, moved to Sunday, so the traditional Mad Sunday ride out is off....Not a good year so far, really pissed off with this weather.

Bender Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Long range forecast has rain forecast every day next week. Quote
skyrider Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 just have to see if they get some practice in in the morning, hope so they are getting further and further behind Quote
skyrider Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I used to have some wet and windy days over there when I was marshalling on the mountain Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 That's pretty damn quick, so they are pretty much doing around 150/160 mph nearly everywhere Quote
rennie Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 ITV4 again tonight! 2100-2200 Superbike race highlights Quote
Old-codger Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 The racing has been postponed for Saturday as the bad weather they have had all week as caused havoc to the practice schedule. They were hoping to run some practice today (Saturday) but so far weather has not helped so hoping to run later on. Weather is ment to improve for sunday so they are going to run a practice schedule and the races from Saturday. For info have a look at this site for info https://www.iomtt.com/news Quote
skyrider Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 finally got some more practice in today(sunday) most of the riders were saying that it was really windy on the mountain and not that great around the rest of the course, we will have to see what goes on tomorrow Quote
manxie49 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Not looking good for today, radio says roads closing at 10:45 but looking out the window, and listening to the forecast I can't see anything happening today .... Not been a good TT for racing this year Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Yeah who couldn't love the sound of a v4....... Quote
skyrider Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 mcpint struggled with the Norton but congrats to dean Harrison Quote
Working Class Hero Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Gutted for Hickman in the Senior, but happy for Harrison though.Those Nortons look sexy Quote
Old-codger Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Not sure if this is allowed on here but if not please remove this post. If any of you followed the tt you will be aware of the sad death of a very talented rider Daley Mathison. There has been a funding page set up to help his young family at this very sad a difficult time.https://uk.gofundme.com/in-memory-of-daley-mathison Quote
rennie Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I watched some but not all of the highlights.Some amazing speeds achieved! Quote
skyrider Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 i see that john mcguinness is riding a kawasaki this season (2020) the norton idea went out of the window Quote
