Isle of Man TT Course Record for a Syncro?

Just wondered if I hold the Syncro world record for the fastest TT lap? Mine managed it in 1 hour 25 minutes, would have been faster if it weren't for all those motorbikes getting in the way.........

You'd have managed it in 1 hour without that hightop on it mate - I'll take it off ya hands if you wanna sell it - it'll increase your aerodynamics - honest!
p.s. I'll race ya next year...

Thats pretty good really..
Wish I wuz there this year, cracking weather..
But 5 years of crappy weather made me move from there.. well, its one of the reasons!!!
Hope to make it next year, with the doka and Bandit in the back, but the kids are not off school then..!
What was the hold up at Bungalow?
My mate reckons its the best weather since he moved there in 1982...
1994 was blooming good though!!

Little crash ahead paused us for a while - it what happens when you have only 1 wheel drive
and are trying to go off road!!

Maybe real racing is only for old(er) men in leathers now.. is this the only proper road race anymore?

Ireland has quite a few (there are others on the IOM too) with the Northwest 200 being the Irish TT equivilent..
We did have a 24 hour Solex race in a local village here though!!!

Did the island circuit one year in Transit vans full of bikes, got off the midnight boat early morning, no-where to get brekky, so we went for a fast lap in the vans
THREE abreast down to Cregg Ny Ba at about 80mph
That blew the cobwebs out. Can`t remember the laptime, but it was fast
(gets faster every time I tell it)

Manxman, is that Golf a Rallye?
Nice.
Still not as quick as a quattro though....
