[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 43902, member: 109"] Hi Jim, The you-tube film has been taken down sadly. Over the mountain, first night of "1 way traffic" and lots of us out to play on motorbikes - and lots being sensible. Bloke in red Ferrari, then another in white 911 and one more I can't recall - crossing double white lines, pulling in too tight in front of folks and braking hard - exceedingly high speed in a straight line and then anchors on to stop and make a cup of tea when it came to going round a bend. One or two sections over the moutain had traffic cones laid out to slow the traffic down and put it into one carriageway, one being the Bungalow. Came screaming past the outside too close to the coned section, pulled in too tight, right in front of a group of bikes and slapped the anchors on hard - causing all the bikes to grab a handful. Driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving - take your pic. The folks on the IoM didnt seem happy about these blokes when chatting in shops and pubs - was quite a topic. In my view, the bikes seemed to be quite polite to each other on my 8 or 9 laps - even though speed differential in some cases must have been close to 100mph, but the young chaps in the fast cars just didn't seem to comprehend or allow for the performance characteristics of motorbikes, nor follow the "rules" that the IoM Roads Department applied to the 1 way mountain section during TT week.
