[Mad_Sunday]

The International North West 200.

This is pure road racing, closed public roads, no run off, mistakes take no prisoners.

Second Only to the Isle of Man TT

Big balls required! Live on the web May 17th.

Take a look at the BBC Northern Ireland web site, some excellent on board video.

Well this really blows. Looking like all Road racing in Northern Ireland is out the window for 2023 due to an Insurance impass. The TT is going to be the only game in town soon when it comes to Real Road Racing. I weep for the future!

looks like only IOM TT - that is a real money spinner for the ireland

IOM population doubles

Sad sad news. Bastards, looks like a decent way to ban road racing is to raise insurance so high that it becomes unaffordable . I hope I’m wrong.That would be the end of a hole bunch of heroes

Nope, as Northern Ireland is under British rule, they aren't independent.
Meanwhile, all the rest of Ireland 'The South' is their own country.

Exactly. Most don’t know that NI is English land. They have British passports. With that come British rules.

And their back!

 

[bigoltool]

Well this sucks! Now that the TT is back on, Hutchy has had his license revoked due to the stroke he suffered recently! I dont know if most know his whole story but the dude is an absolute warrior!

 

[Berteric.]

Aw aw, then you have this again, sixteen-time winner and record holder, he’s an icon. Can you imagine, 43 years old, a stroke while cycling… told you that cycling is more dangerous then racing, sorry just a laugh.
Experiencing this the tt from the sidelines must be very hard for him. We wish him all the best.
