I'm pretty sure it's England f00l. Either that or independent.

Where is George? When we finally need him for something he's not around..


Edit: It's independent

Now I remember the story. People weren't allowed to race in England back in the day because there were strict laws about street closures so the IOM decided they would host the TT because they weren't governed by England's laws.

Fly into any of the surrounding countries then you can either fly or take a boat to the island.

You've gotta be a bit mental to race on a "road" course like them. Though I admire their talents... I can't say I respect their judgement to race. Its really not safe at all. In such high speed racing, falls happen. What happens to these talented men when they fall? It may have been a bit better when the machines were less powerful but now... even a 6 has enough juice to pull a power slide out of a 2nd gear turn. I dunno, I love watching them because its sooo exhilirating but I fear for their lives. Either way...

ireland is crazy for tt races to you guys, they have them all the time during the season there... all street stuff head to head!


Yeah Isle of man is an independent entity. take a ferry to off england.(unless you can swim really well). For you older folks rick wakeman is from isle of man! the best thing is "Mad sunday" that is where they close down the entire course and run it in one direction... you can run it as fast as you want, in specified areas. therer are no passing zones etc, but alot of it is wide open is the country side. you can have a bread truck going 60 and a gsxr going 160! Friggen laywers are sucking us dry over here!!!!
