Isle of Man - Chopper Bob 1 - 12-12-2003
Great shots Bigshow. I have seen heaps of footage of the IOM and it remains an absolute "must go"
Do you know of anybody who has given a Busa a workout around there? I think it would be interesting with lots of flat out straights. I think I might be tippy toing through some of the towns though.
Lucky it's not in Oz, with all the fatals they have there it would most certainly be banned by the bleeding hearts.
There is a vid out called "Yer Maun" which is the story of Joey Dunlop. Terrific stuff with insane riding.
I would be more than happy to be as fast in the dry as those blokes are in the wet.
One day..............
Regards
Chopper
Re: TT Isle of Man DVD 2002 and 2003 - GDYUP - 12-12-2003
Your right about the bleeding hearts Chopper.
The DVDs of the Isle of Man 2002 and 2003 are insane.
The road is that dangerous it took the life of the 2002 champion and lap record holder Dave Jefferies. A great loss to the motorcycling world.
Worth a watch of the DVDs if you can get hold of them. (Duke video)
Half ya luck Bigshow. Probably a bit better seeing the real thing as apposed to the DVD???
Cheers, Phil.

Yeah definite 'must do' if you're ever over there...
Am unaware of anyone 'officially' taking to the TT circuit with a busa, no doubt there would have been a few 5am runs though The bus would work well over the mountain section of the course, but everywhere else it would be like tryin to cut a cheesecake with a sledgehammmer!...messy
You can crate your bike over to the UK for about $2.5 -3k return if you can be stuffed...would make for interesting 'tour' around europe
