From Germany to N.Ireland and back - do i take the

[Hayabusa Fury]

How long a ride is it from Seattle to Europe? I guess I should take my bike around the US more before trying another country.

Europe road trip on busa would be friggin' sweet!

and the corner - big gonads need only apply

Judging from the lean angle, this corner must be honkin fast.... he looks to be well ahead of the apex and already leaned way over.... wow.. 160-180+ ?

You'd be right - one of the most exhilirating things I've ever seen in racing.

A couple of years ago one of the racers took a World Superbike Spec Blade to 202 mph! - that was recorded shortly after the corner in the foto

Day 9 - Sat Race Day

My bro looking content to have finally seen a real bike

The view from the grandstand of the first race - the 250cc

 

[Italian Trev]

The 250cc race was won by Michael Dunlop who had lost his father in thu nights practice and who would attend the funeral the next day. In a nail-biting race Michael was understandably overwhelmed with the emotion of it all.

An image I'll never forget and for me the most emotional sporting moment I've ever had the privilege of being part of. Respect Michael - you did your father proud

 

[Italian Trev]

The winning bike - if you look closely on the front faring you can see the sticker #4 - a tribute to his father

Time for a little run in the mountains with Catherine - sun still shining

 

[Italian Trev]

great scenery

 

[Italian Trev]

down from the hills for an ice-cream by the sea-side. I keep telling Catherine that she has a great pair of sun-glasses

 

[Italian Trev]

stopping off on the way home to let my bro have a go - "mental" is all he could utter.

His test ride involved him revving it out in the first three gears - not something even I do very often

 

[kreator]

Amazing.. Excellent thread man!
