Ill be dammned, pigs can fly

 

Hey, Bite us RC51 owners.

 

I didn't know he did the IOM on an RC. How wonder how different that bike was to say...Colins WSBK RC? Or even Nicks AMA bike.

 

The RC51 he won #24 on had a HRC factory-spec engine for the TT from Aaron Slight’s World Superbike along with a special swing-arm, a crew of HRC technicians, two Showa suspension engineers and Aaron Slight’s mechanic, Simon Greer.

 

damn near dragging hip lol.

 

I’ve been plagued with the desire to have one for years. I suck donkey balls racing twins, but I still would love to try an rc51 eventually

 

Cool pic where the photographer got the riders at almost the exact same spot at the Ramsey hairpin.
Then layered them side by side.

 

The 7 6 5 3 are perfect.
