The 2025 Isle of Man TT | May 26-June 7

DOM...DOM....DOM the Bomb !!

 

I’m a Yama-dork, but playing catch up with the live pass………it’s making me feel like I need a CBR

 

Dude those Fireblades sound NASTY!

 

Damn. Massive respect for Rutter!!

 

I was wondering where he was on the leaderboard.

Rutter, Anstey, Farquhar, McPint, those guys are the last of a generation. I was thinking today it sucks not seeing Bruce there at all. So many from that class either hung it up or passed.

 

Dang, that would have been just past the Bungalow.

 

OK this is the day we’ve all been waiting for and here’s what I’ll be wearing. I’ve got to say that all the swag I hauled home is top quality.

Keeping a positive thought for Michael Rutter, haven’t heard any updates.

This as of 25 minutes ago and they’ll be another update in 1h50m, will post up if any change. Time below IOM, 5 hours ahead of Eastern.

 

Waiting...

 

Oh great, right when my neighborhood annual wienerfest begins. Welp, I’m bringing my phone.

 

Michael Evans, machine number 5, Dafabet Racing, has been disqualified from the Supertwin TT Race 1 at the 2025 Isle of Man TT Races after the team failed to produce the machine for the mandatory post-race Technical Inspection.

 

Ok, so going live approximately 2pm est? Thought I missed it from having fun drawing blood this morning

 

Fingers crossed. Has to run today or it doesn't happen at all.

 

Has that ever happened? That would be awful. Looking back on it, we must have been lucky because we had no delays, or if we did they were minimal. Tooled around the island seeing Ramsey, Peel and so on during the contingency days. Come on Mother Nature, play nice!

 

I only remember one time it didn't which prompted the whole schedule shakeup.

 

Well that sucks. We watched that one last night. Aside from this dq, it was awesome seeing the twin shocked bikes hauling the mail like they were.

 

Roads are closed...

 

Got to thinking....had an American ever won an IOM TT race? And, if so, how many?

Only 2 (Dave Roper & Mark Miller)....is this it? Anyone familiar with any others I didn't find on a quick 5 minute Google inquiry?
