Am I the only one who has been watching it and frequently ending up with my lower jaw on the floor?

I guess so because I don't know what sport you're talking about.

England and America have only one sport in common - golf.

(Yeah, I suppose there are rowing and tennis and lacrosse but I'm talking about real sports.)

This is the Manx TT Motorbike races! Possible the most exciting motorbike racing event in existence!!! Even more gripping than Moto GP or SuperBike.

I found some sort of video link here but there is nothing on right now.  It may be over for the day.  It's a bit like watching the Open Championship, which starts at 4am and is over by noon.

This is an interesting brown trouser 150mph moment at the TT
Is starts at around 55 seconds. Does not look like much when looking forward, but look at the in car view. That steering wheel is being yanked on fasted than a teenager who has just found out what his private parts are for :o

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
