These must have balls of steel, and my prayers!
I always thought that the TT racers must be of a different breed of man, either that of have part of their brains removed that control fear!
Either way one of these days I will get over to watch, I just hope that no one gets hurt.
Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx1LAaJdrRE&feature=related especially around 1:35 and watch as the rider goes through a fireball and
then swerves to miss the fallen rider, blink and it's gone.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Guy Martin was restoring a fishing trawler on channel 4 a few hours ago! I was thinking 'isn't that the eccentric bloke from the
TT?!'
It'd be amazing to go pillion on one of those TT bikes, a once in a lifetime experience that would be, get a good helmet though!

I love the beginning of that - sound of the bikes as they approach (headphones & volume up required!)

"get a good helmet though!"
I think I'd want a complete set of airbags installed all over me - those guys are seriously nuts!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
