Re: The Isle of Man TT thread

I have concerns about McGuiness.

There is no way he can be properly fit after his accident and he struggled at the NW200 and the TT is the last place to be riding if your are not 100%.

Re: Round the world travel on a bike

I have considered working there myself but after reading the security advice I changed my mind.

Riding over to the Midlands on Friday straight after work left us with little time to get an Insanity workout in.
