Tt 2016

Hi Soof, been running about the Island with Beavis the last few days but unfortunately he has had to go back to work, boo hoo. Met up with Teeny and her man Russell on her Motorsport and his Panigale R, fantastic pair of bikes and people. Met up with Kev from Sunderland and seen his very trick HP4 Carbon with the best exhaust I have seen for the Beemer. Going to hook up with SportEvo Colin who has kindly sourced me a direct ticket back on Saturday to save me going home via Belfast. Budgie is ignoring my texts, so I can only assume he has seen my riding and is giving me a wide berth, lol.
Weather is the best I have ever seen here with it being in the 20's everyday of the fortnight and it's now starting to melt the Tarmac.
Beavis and me had lunch with a guy who reckons he can take his S1000rr around this place in less than 17 minutes, who are we to argue.



A fantastic holiday so far, deliberately ignoring the sad aspects of my favourite sport.

Haha, you must have sent me a picture cause my phone wouldn't accept it?
Weather is looking great Stuart, but misty this morning which is fine cause my hay fever is starting up. Currently sitting at the Bungalow waiting for racing to start, life is tough.

Jimmy I wasn't ignoring any of your texts mate, after we had a late night texting session one night and you happen to mention you were going on a vip day and rubbing shoulders with the Stars I had a pretty eventful tt. After nearly getting wiped out by this f-----g clown in an e46 Beemer on the veranda section of the mountain on Friday morning, I then spent 2 hours on Monday at Douglas Nick giving a witness statement to the cid, pretty scary.

F*****g hell Budgie glad your all right, the mountain has been full of this kind of behaviour this year, it's been closed more than its been open. Was the blade rider ok?
Was sitting at Joeys statue tonight with some Irish friends when we noticed a rider who had broken down with a puncture about 50 yards past the bridge at the start of Hailwood Rise. The cops rightly put a road closed sign up and one of them assisted the rider push his bike back to the coned area. This took a maximum of 2 minutes, they road was then opened and about 50 bikes all took off up the rise at full throttle, by the time they got to the tight left handers there was a big puff of smoke and then everybody stopped. Don't know the outcome yet but wasn't looking good as the helicopter landed at the crash scene and a couple of ambulances were also there. From road open to closed took no more than 20-30 seconds and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
Looking forward to Friday's Senior and hopefully we'll manage to meet up some other time, take care on your way home.

Hi Jimmy, the blade rider seemed relatively ok at the scene but I've since found out that he went home the day after and is in a bit of a bad way. We had clocked the BM driver (young local lad) earlier on the mountain darting in and out and even undertaking a vw golf just before the mountain mile, we passed him on the approach to the veranda but then caught a group of slower riders and tucked in behind them, the guy in the Beemer tried to overtake the whole group of us before the bend which he would never have been able to do even in an f1 car, there just wasn't enough room. He ran into the back of the front guy and pushed his bike about 200 yards before stopping. We were lucky that none of us hit the blade guy while he was laid on the floor. What made it even worse was that when he saw the guy seemed relatively unscathed the smug little b-----d was only bothered about his car. He even had the audacity to tell the police officer that turned up that the blade guy pulled out in front of him and he had nowhere to go. His mate who was in the car with him who looked like he was still pissed from the night before kept saying that he kept telling him to slow down. There were quite a few witnesses that gave statements commenting about his wreckless driving before the impact that he had previously overtook. Really hope the guy on the blade is ok and that the lad gets prosecuted.

This guy overtook me and a friend just before the verandah, he left very little room for any mistake, we just let the **** go, guys like that should be locked up, I have been going to the TT for 36 years and I have never seen such fools as I did this year.
