Post by: Barry on June 03, 2014, 04:12:41 PM

Don't known if you guys over the water get any TT coverage but a BMW S 1000 RR won the superbike race at the Isle of man TT for the first time in 75 years.

Wow, I didn't know they made S1000RRs 75 years ago! ;)

What!!!!!


And this year, after they've decided that they'll be pulling the plug on the superbike racing teams?

Go figure!

I watched the highlights programme last night, great result and Michael Dunlop does seem to be a force of nature. No explanation of why Guy Martin got "Black Flagged" I did hear him say fair enough to the Marshal though.
Also a win for Triumph in the 600cc which was not expected, though proceedings were saddened by the death of Karl Harris on the track.

We're getting full coverage of the TT races here in the states on a cable channel called "Velocity". It comes on at 10:00 PM every night. I'm taping the whole series.
