Title: Morning coffee
Post by: GreenMachine on August 25, 2014, 09:24:49 AM
But as many of you know, I don't drink coffee, so this is what I use to wake up.  I'm invigorated and ready for my day.  :D :angel

I would agree that is a good substitute for caffeine.   Why do they wear protective gear anyway?  Not like its going to help much if you screw up.

Insane! I wouldn't even be able to sit or stand that close. No chance to survive if anything happens

Is the Isle of Man TT news to you guys?

Here's a bit of news for you: Alan Cunningham, fellow Reno area motorcycle enthusiast and AFM racer, is on the Isle right now racing an SV650 in the Manx GP.

That's wild!  When RG500nut came back from the IoM TT this year he explained that the TT is but one of several races they hold on the IoM.  He also said it took him an additional two days to get off the island after the completion of the races.  He said that the place goes back to being a sleepy little place after all the racing excitement is over.

So, if I were to go, just to watch the machines go fast on the road course, I'd probably go for the Manx or one of the lesser races.

I'd miss all the crowds and probably the one-on-one autograph sessions with the seniors racers, but it would still be a blast.
