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

Could be a whole lot worse, Bob. Thank your Gods you never went to see Hawkwind when Stacia was on stage

Did you mean 'Ever' Graham?

Quote from: Train Waiting on Yesterday at 10:55:38 AMI well remember my first 100mph 'on the clock'. It was on a Velocette 'Venom' 500cc single.

She had a high-compression piston and was a recalcitrant starter. But when she was on the open road she flew along. Splendid handling and roadholding as well.

I loved my Velos, had three of them, started with a 350 viper, onto a 500 MAC, then ended up with a 1969 Thruxton 'Black Pig' that I bought from Commerfords in Thames Ditton. Loved the Thruxton it was pretty fast bike that handled really well, but a pig in traffic, if you didn't find neutral before stopping the clutch would start dragging! 

I ain't complaining 

Like I say, I knew me limitations, as Clint Eastwood would say.

I just dont understand WHY these so called female singers go on stage in their underwear ,If I can ever get to a concert I go to HEAR the artist sing ,If I wanted to see a half naked girl I would go to a strip club How does undressing like that improve their singing ,Sorry but I just dont understand that .
Sorry for going of topic

PS did you enjoy Bristlecone Pine just one track from the 14 Rumer CDs I have.I would like to know how many of you liked it .

All I've got to say about all this is that when I was teenager, me mate let me have a couple of goes driving his little motorcycle around the streets of the council estate where we lived. I found that, when I got up to any sort of speed, I started laughing.

That put me off ever getting one because I realised I'd probably kill meself on it.
