But he could've put a knee down!

he's a dickhead but that could be me, if I was allowed 
So - no other vehicles? I take it it is a public road? with 2 way traffic? and speed limits ????
Just checked. No speed limits on country roads and around much of the high mountain circuit.
Look out here I come!

I dont think the island has speed limits would you believe Wardy! Beautiful roads hey?
RE: Isle of Man TT 2011 - Tony Nitrous - 09-06-2011
At times (Mad Sunday) the Island is ran as a huge one-way loop
and turns into a bit of a free for all.

Yep, public road. It gets blocked off to traffic between scheduled times and obviously for the race(s)
Ward you would love it!!!!!!! Think of it as a track day on steroids.

The "mountain' section is made one-way, but these days its a road cone-fest to slow riders in some areas. Best I ever did was a 85mph lap on a bike with a max of about 110! The cops in those days wore tall hats and waved you down crossing Ballaugh Bridge.
Glad to see the boy is protecting the pink bits with his boots and gloves, probably had a kevlar willy-warmer on as well.........

There is no speed limit across the mountain and for TT they make one way.
Saw a bloke riding a peewee 50 naked through Douglas 2 years ago and the police just gave him a wave.
As long as you wear a helmet and arent drunk they are fine.
RE: Isle of Man TT 2011 - Gassick - 11-06-2011
At least he had his helmets on. And like my young bloke is constantly told, "No Glove, no love" So it is good to see he is a sensible rider!!!!

Just read in AMCN that the IOM cops pulled 70k UK Pounds this year off TT fans. Glad I was there in the old days!
