Default Isle of Man TT

TT coverage starts tonight on itv4 at 9 pm

Can't wait. Makes the F1 look as exciting as watching paint dry.

The speeds, the slow motion cameras, wheelies at 185 mph etc

Nerves of steel these fellas as this clip shows:Big off at Veranda

Only watched TT:Closer to the edge last night, didn't realise it was the TT already

The guys are utter loons Hopefully the local lad (to me) Guy Martin will finally get his win.

I also like Guy Martin, and rooting for him to win. But McGuinness is amazing at the TT and on a whole new level! It is a fantastic event that I would love to go to!!

Searching for but can't find my post with the clip of John McGuinness discussing his "chafing" from last year ...

No worries. Found it ...
