IoMTT, Isle of Man | 2015

Shaun. You're fucking awesome. I mean that sincerely. Lol.

 

Cheers But why? and hey, give me back my true name that you are using as your sign in also sport

 

Cause you tell it how you see it and there's never any doubt about your conviction to it.

 

Cheers. Some on here that know me, would say I am mental though haha But I just keep coming back for shits and giggles

 

Bright and early for practice this morning! Sun's out, looks good.

 

Things NOT good at the Isle today



There's been an announcement of an incident with a helicopter ( poss near Creg). No more news as yet)


Helicopter down in creg sounds like it crashed !

The wind is really picking up now
\
Bugger Dam poos an wees for them all

UPDATE
Just 1 involved. Private helicopter. Not from Island. Being treated


update of the update from a mate who is a marshall and a local over there who's house we were to stay in MONGO, if you ever get your shit together!

hey Shaun - looking at the strong winds i would be surprised to see anything today mate. latest news is 'possibly' looking at 5pm sidecar race today. they have also run out of hospital bed spaces at the moment!!!!!

 

And it gets worse

Gary Thompson, TT CoC, says is questionable if airmed could fly at the moment and that that they've been informed that there are no beds available at Nobles hospital at the moment.

The current provisional schedule is now:
Roads closing 3.15pm from Ramsey, 3.30pm Mountain, 4pm rest of the course
Sidecar race start 5pm
Parade lap 4.30pm
Solo Practices after that

He stresses that is provisional.

Stay calm the USA riders

 

It's windy, not as bad as Willow Springs on the wrong day but the helicopter tucked it in turn 8

 

Nothing today. Saw the news about the helicopter crash too. What's next tsunami?? RIP

Brandon is starting 50 seconds ahead of Mark in SBK race 1 tomorrow. If the EBR holds together, we might see some American dicing on the Mountain.

What in the hell Bobby!

 

The real problem is the fuk wit spectators crashing there brains out on the open speed limit mountain. They have filled the hospital beds also, so there is NO room for an emergency in case. I have always thought and said since my 1st there in 1991 that these people need fukin off the island all together. The britsh media regually tell the wrold 10 people died at the TT races this years, they DO NOT confirm that 8 of them were wankers on there road bikes, or drunk or what ever, so thje world assumes once again that 10 racers dide and the TT should be banned. Britsh media is the orst in the world I wreckon, trashy gutter shit only

 

There is a BIG deep undulation in the road just where Hutchy went to pass MD, so the front bottomed as such and the wind caught him which seriously unsettled the bike. That corner was my first crash point at the TT ever.

 

Just in relation to the 2015 R1 issues that Michael Dunlop has been having

Hey Shaun, hope all is good with you :up:

 

Happy as a pig in shit mate. I thought you had gone missing or some thing dude, have not seen you about anywhere for a while. Hope all is well for you

Old man anstey takes the win!

 

SBK Race 1 results are up: http://www.iomtt.com/~/media/Files/2015/RST Superbike.pdf

Neither Mark nor Brandon finished. Brandon with a fairing problem pitting on lap 4, Mark with a fuel cap that fell off on lap 1. Gutted for both of them, but they're ready to ride another day.

Anstey was hauling the mail.
