Mr. Sausages Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 A man crashes his motor bike - in the Isle of Man! Wow! Whatever next? Next will be - "man crashes motorbike and dies". Followed by "another man crashes motorbike and dies". Followed by "is the TT too dangerous?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 A man crashes his motor bike - in the Isle of Man! Wow! Whatever next? Next will be - "man crashes motorbike and dies". Followed by "another man crashes motorbike and dies". Followed by "is the TT too dangerous?" only for those that died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyrotten Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 What's more interesting is that within the past 14 days a Manx resident has been heavily penalised for crashing his car into a roadside ditch. The car was road legal, taxed and insured, but he was done for failing to report, leaving the scene and due care. Obviously we wouldn't want to suggest that there's one law for residents and another one for well-known TT personalities, but Mr Dunlop appears to have done all those things on a race bike without the benefit of tax, insurance, lights, audible means of approach etc. I await the outcome of his interview with the busies...

Pat Ayres Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Apparently on the Sloc when he hit a hedge, a 250 doing 120 up there, what do I know, I drive Vespas and 60 is a bit fast for me. Anybody want to buy a Harley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 the 'wee windy' bit of the sloc road climbing up from cross 4 roads is 30mph limit - once you get past this I wouldn't really describe it as winding - it certainly is fast in sections except the road surface is bad apart from the fine smooth bit near round table - I use that road frequently, if he was doing 120 in the 'Port Erin' section he was extremely lucky that he didn't hit a pothole , above this a sheltering sheep.
