F*ck me gently, Jenny Tinmouth is going to try her hand at both the 600 and 1000's on the Isle of Man. I think she could do well as I think it would suit her riding style but there is the small matter of needing to qualify at 110mph and 113 respectively and not bin it.
Good luck Jenny.

Just seen she has had a 'mare of an intro, culminating in blowing a clutch gasket and spilling oil at Greba Bridge and not getting in much practice-which I would of thought is totally vital. She needs to know the circuit.
Cameron Mc Donald has just done a world first 131mph lap!

Badly dislocated shoulder, he was out of hosp in 4 hours but that is it for a while.
Just watched the first race tonight and Relentless just seem to be having a run of bad luck.
Very happy to see John Mc Guiness win again-now one more than Mike the bike, which is quite something.

never mind Parrish, the racing has been *brilliant* 
what have poor old Relentless done to deserve their luck this year?
and how mad was Guy Martin in the post race interview with a cup of tea and talking double speed. Bonkers bloke, I really hope he gets a win.

I concur! Guy Martin is a legend. The bloke also knows engines inside out - tunes the bollocks off the things, then tries his best to blow them up flat out an' all... also a fan of oversize lamb-chops which is all good too!
Hey folks, I'm just catchin' up with the forum. Been a busy boy lately and hardly been near a PC

Guy Martin gets my vote for Health & Safety minister. With quotes like "if they make the TT safer I'd probably stop going, I like the thrill".
What a refreshing attitude in these days of cotton wool wrapping nutters that have invaded just about every pleasure in life.
Not only would he make a great MP, he could fund his racing from expenses too......

I was trying to work out how many times he said 'you know'. Must be his favourite line. Still a top guy though, better than the little bit with Rossi

Jenny averages 107mph
She did a 116.483mph lap in the Superstock race, which makes her officially now the fastest ever woman round the TT course, having beaten Maria Costello's 115mph lap from the Manx GP a few years ago. However, Maria has been racing at the Manx GP for a long, long time now - this is JT's first visit, and I reckon that is a pretty impressive TT debut!
