    I was finally able to go see the TT races in '05. It was amazing and I'll never forget it.

    The locals were afraid that do gooders would try to ban the races by as early as '07. Glad to see the races are still ongoing.

    As the local advertisements say...........
    "The road racing capital of the world".

    anybody know a TV schedule, if any, for the TT?
    '02 RC-51 - Street
    '05 Pitster Pro 125 - Pitbike madness

    Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

    Its gotta be seen in person to really get the feel of it. I hope to go back some day.

    In addition to the racing, its a really fun event. There are bikes parked everywhere. Race fans by the thousands. People partly all night long (fresh Guiness ).

    Its sport bike Sturgis.

    Cool pics Chris! Man, I envy you! I've been collecting Motocourse since the '83-'84 season and I've always taken a great interest in the TT. A lot of people don't know, for instance, that Foggy held the outright lap record for years. Great stuff though! One day I'll go.......
