If you like the TT you'll love this on booard with the late great David Jeffries, amazing.

Superb. Thanks mate.

Very poignant too. About 5 miles in he says "This one's really scary, flat out in top", that's the place where he died the following year. Very, very sad.

I visited his grave a couple of years ago, inscribed on it are the words "Those who risk nothing do nothing, achieve nothing, become nothing".

Si.

Anyone who races in the TT has balls, that is for sure.

My ugly twin brother (the rather silent Paul955i) and I had talked about going to the TT for our 50th birthday celebration. We are now 51 and that has not happened. I think I need to get there sooner than later.

Would be cool to get a Motorcyclist Cafe Charter flight and have a bunch of us from North America cross the pond to invade the Isle of Mann.
