Thank you all. Definitely getting much more consistant!
New rubber day! Man it rides so much nicer, you forget just how much of a difference it makes. Metzeler Sportec M9RR for a bargain of £200/$265 fitted.
Barton Bike Night, Barton-upon-Humber. 1st of July. Anyone here going?
As the title states really, is anyone going to Barton bike night a week on Wednesday? Never been before but i've heard its a big one, and i'm going over for a first time. (Provided the weather is decent).
Be good to meet up with others from here. I'll be on a 2010 Honda Fireblade in Black with gold wheels.
Getting better! Biggest change - not withdrawing my rod as much as i would with stainless.
Lookong for tips and pointers, Aluminum: 16mm plate - 10mm tube, 2.4mm tungsten & rod. 230A on variable pedal.
End of racing. Dean declared winner of Senior TT
*UPDATE: 2026 ISLE OF MAN TT RACES CONCLUDE FOLLOWING WEATHER-IMPACTED SCHEDULE*
The Isle of Man TT Races has confirmed that no further racing will take place at the 2026 event, and the Milwaukee Senior TT will be declared a result after yesterday’s one-lap.
Following consultation between the Clerk of the Course and the Isle of Man Met Office, it has been determined that the forecast weather conditions around the Course are not looking to sufficiently improve within the required time, and the remaining available operational windows do not provide a suitable opportunity for any further racing to be completed safely.
As a result, the Milwaukee Senior TT result has been declared based on the positions at the end of a lap one of Friday’s original race start. Subsequently, the Carole Nash Sportbike TT Race 2 has been cancelled and will not take place.
Dean Harrison has therefore been declared the winner of the 2026 Milwaukee Senior TT.

From Yesterdays TT legacy parade lap. Honda VFR750R RC30 just casually there, being ignored by anyone under 30 😂
Yes it was immaculate too. The owner was a proper nice bloke aswell, we chatted for a good 5-10 mins.
Champions league final, best place to watch?
Hey all, im over for the TT, but on the Saturday evening is the Champions league Final. And im a huge Arsenal fan.
So where would be the best place to watch it, with the best atmosphere? I'm based in Ramsey but can travel into Douglas no problems.
Cheers pirate.
