Thanks for the mention we did like those bikes, Carol really liked the Street RS. So wish we could see blue sky weather here. The weather here and in Northern Europe has been wet. Is it OK to be slightly naughty on a motorcycle? Of course, so long as it's done carefully and safely. Many channels that used to post 'naughty' stuff now self censor because of risks to their add sense account and risks of the footage landing with law enforcement. Those Isle of Man guys are on another skill level. We've sat on those grass banks watching the bikes go past at 170+ only feet away from us. I know an American guy who brings an American group out to the TT each year if you ever fancy coming over??? (He used to work with the Triumph Rocket land speed team)
The Isle of Man TT is certainly on top of my bucket list of course it would be a tremendous expense and I wasn't aware of an American group coming over. In looking at the video I couldn't see where the opposing car was on one the passes at but from my riding position I could track it. Sometimes in tracking the on coming traffic and the distance to the vehicle I'm passing I can ocassionally lose track of the starting point of the no passing lane during the pass. I've really toned my passing down over the years and for a few minutes I regressed a little.
Oh dear, I hope I haven’t been a bad influence, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you overtake so many cars. Getting a lick on, it’s just something that has to be done, it’s like dusting cobwebs 😂
I use to pass everything but now for the most part I'm patient. I don't think I've passed that many vehicles since I had a ZX1400R. I'll be good for a long while in now😉
There's nothing like giving it the welly when the sun gods are being kind, bet you were wearing a great big grin inside that full face helmet. My first leathers were a used one piece TT Leathers, they fitted great except when I standing straight my arse looked as though I was wearing a baggy nappy (diaper). They were worn previously by the passenger of a sidecar outfit, must have been all that peculiar crouching they do, lol. Cheers man
@@flatcapcaferacer Yep, that was my answer, just keep riding. My Bonny had rear sets and flat Vincent bars so the leathers fitted perfectly when riding.
Naughty but Nice. That Gas station you visited had Gas pumps (Petrol Pumps to us in the UK) which are in our museums. Is that still a working station? It's good to have a blast now and then. I admire those TT racers I don't know how they can see and react quick enough on them roads. Some really narrow and challenging. Always great to watch, One day I will make a visit to watch the real race. Cheers Jerry
@@flatcapcaferacer I bet them Numbers spin very fast when filling. I remember them having a glass where you could see a paddle spinning. Nice to see some are still around. Not sure if there are any in the UK. Not seen any for years. Thanks for sparking memories of when I had a Honda C50 and petrol was 45p per Gallon. Cheers
Nothing wrong with those overtakes, you had pretty good vision for them. (I don't know what the speed limits are). I wouldn't want to do sidecars either 😨 What's with your weird skies? All blue and with a bright light? What do you call that?
You are riding one of my favor road courses. Good road, good weather, great scenery, light traffic and a whole lot of opportunities to have fun.
Thought I was watching an English or Australian video for a minute!
Lol
Have a great Sunday Jerry!
I wish Roger 👍

See, you watch a little Isle of Mann, and you get the urge to wring it out a bit!😂🤣😂 (Sometimes you just have to!)
Those riders are very brave and skilled, I use to be brave but never skilled.
@@flatcapcaferacer 😂🤣😂I know what you mean!

John that must have created quite the discussion 😀😀 My new ones I got aren't exactly easy to stand up in but I won't be doing much of that.

@kimetogo Actually not that unusual out here in the rural areas

😄😄 If I save a bit a money I'll bring some blue skies and sunshine over to the UK with me and we take a beautiful ride.
