TTXGP

Fuckers; I was sure it was scheduled for 12.30 or so.

 

Well, according to the "time published" on that page, the IoM must be
an hour ahead!

 

Nah, it was always on for Friday morning.

Keith's bike, after showing really well in practice (2nd overall, 1st
in class), apparently broke down at Glen Duff. He and his crew have
worked like bastards too. Bet they're in the pub right now.

 

I have just posted a little video of the TTXGP at Glen Helen here:

That isn't, perchance, the same Keith who's in the current IoM Tourism
ads? Bloke called Keith who mentions he rode in the TT 30 years ago and
never went home, sortof thing.

 

No.

 

Really quite eerie. Not silent, but weird.

 

How come that doesn't need a numberplate? 'Personal test track' is it?

 

Even more so in the flesh.

 

There was a good letter in The Economist, which suggested that there
would be a market for "vroomtones" when electric vehicles became ubiquitous.

 

A front speaker with cheery wibbling tunes to brighten up the day of
hapless pedestrians.
