Just watching the TT 2002 on Speed. Had an onboard camera on the big bikes. Holy Crap, you can't have a full deck and do that!! On board shots on Jeffries bike are outrageous.

Bob,

I'm watching it!! Those boys aren't playing with a full deck!! Half a brick short of a full load....elevator doesn't go to the top floor!!

There are 2 more days of racing. Wonder when that will be shown?
I watch this every year and it has to be the craziest motorsport event of the year. I remember there was an old guy that use to win every year but he got killed a year or two ago at some other event. What the heck was that guy's name?

Joey Dunlop. The last time he ran the Isle of Man TT, he rode so hard that the two Factory Yamaha R1's, which were his only competition were no where in sight. One of them grenaded the clutch and the other rider got spooked trying to keep up and ended up getting lapped a few times(4 I think). All the other riders said he rode like the devil himself. Of course, it helps that he knew the track better than any other racer by far. That race is a race for real men only. Closest thing to a rally race on a bike. The speeds these guys go in the rain on those narrow roads is nuts.

Thanks,
That's the guys name. He's a legend in the Isle of Man TT. That race is the best going for sure. Won't be the same with him not there.
