Thanks Mick @Newportnobby . I'm not the greatest fan of Pink Floyd's later works (sorry @Trainfish ) but I do like some of their earlier stuff including AHM which I hadn't heard until today for a good few years.

Here are a couple of old rockers, namely Martin Turner and Ted Turner (ex Wishbone Ash) with Blowin' Free Live in 2010.

Quote from: njee20 on Today at 11:28:52 AMWent to watch the TT 10 years ago. Super accessible and a fun (long) day out, but my god, I don't know how they fit on the bikes with balls that big.

Now you know why they call it the 'tuck' position ;)

Likewise :)

In the meantime, this gets trotted out for a play now and then, and this morning was one of those times

Behold the 47/7 Trombone Pipes in all their glory (or compressor cooling pipes, if you insist). When they started the push pull services they found there were issues with water in the air system and unpredictable operation of the internal doors in the Mk 3s so they added the extended air pipes by the battery box. A very distinctive signature of the 47/7, especially as painted white.

Meant as (Have you) never watched a fast lap at the TT, I assume.
Current lap record for the 37.73 mile course held by Peter Hickman at 136.358mph with speeds in parts just topping 200mph. Of course, the TT is not a sanitised race circuit i.e. it has buildings, walls, telephone boxes and general street 'furniture'. If you come off, the chances are not good.
In general the media, especially the BBC, only reports on it when someone is killed >:(
