The t.v coverage of the TT is a let down,every year,I second that comment made. any other sport is covered live,the tt only happens once a year FFS,and golf and snooker aren't even sports,there f#%@king hobbys like darts....

Meh - in the scheme of things it wasnt a good'un.....weve been every year for the last 10 years and had 3 "bad" ones....this being one of them....on the plus side - with all the bad weather we only actually got wet one afternoon and that was it....problem was, was the race schedule kept getting bumped so when it was dry we couldnt get on the track as it was being used....
The other thing was the plod....they were out in force. My mate on the RC8R got nicked for a small strip plate and TBH it wasnt that small....the irish were riding round with plates that were literally tiny...so i reckon he got singled out as i didnt even get a look with my cheeky fucker numberplate....having said that, the south of the island where we were staying was totally void of coppers so we had some good fun on the shoulder road....
Zed picked up a weird high speed vibration on the way up there....got some new Avon sporty tyres a couple of weeks before we came out....on our way up we did a couple of "higher speed blasts".....mine would get to 110 and then pick up a very high speed vibration from the front. When we got there i went to the local tyre place, dropped the wheel out and had it rebalanced...they added 5grams to the front wheel which made it better (could get to 130) before the vibration started....so at this point im thinking it could be bearings.
Anyway, its sitting in the garage, caked in shite so this weekend its getting pulled to pieces....if it is the bearings ill consider ceramic jobbies.....

Tell u what, you've spent some money on that,it's sweet,love that rear shock, it's a nice piece of kit,what's the milage on it... Looks clean,even if it is dirty,did u ride it to the Isle of Man,if so,how many miles did u do on that trip... Once it's clean it will come up like a new bike,they always do when there looked after,but I would remove that foot peg,if not used for nothing,easyer cleaning...
