Guilty.

I'm not really into watching races but the Isle of Man TT is ****ing nuts. I saw the video posted above before and a few others. There was this one video that has a some sweet helicopter/plane footage which REALLY shows how ****ing fast they are going. I haven't been able to find it though, does anybody know the vid?

The Isle of Man racers are crazy and probably have a recessed tank to house their huge *****.

I also got a feeling that guy and john will be the one battling. It will be great to watch once again. I couldnt imagine racing in it at there level.

I'm sad to announce that the TT ACU announced the following statement earlier today:

A statement has been issued by ACU Events Ltd following the incident during the second sidecar practice on Tuesday evening which saw the session brought to an end.

It reads:

"ACU Events Ltd regret to announce that sidecar competitor Bill Currie, 67, from Ellesmere Port, Cheshire and his passenger Kevin Morgan, 59, from Shrewsbury were both killed during the second sidecar qualifying session at the 2011 Isle of Man TT Races following an incident at Ballacrye in the North of the Island. The session was immediately red flagged following the incident."

"Bill was an experienced racer who first competed at the TT Races in 1969, when he recorded a third place finish. He finished 8th in last year’s TT sidecar Race in his fastest ever race time of 107.944. Kevin made his TT debut in 1984. This was the first year that the pair had competed together."

"Bill was divorced with 2 children and Kevin was single with two sons. The ACU wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both competitors."

R.I.P lads.
