TT Races Isle of Man 2022-be still my beating heart

Any other fans on here watching live on TT plus? I'm not lucky enough to be there in person but I'm so excited to be able to watch live for the first time ever and after 2 years of.absence due to covid.
Ooooh just seen my beloved Hutchy 🥰

Apparently my dc want their dinner. How rude to interrupt my big love.

Who is your favourite rider? Favourite bike? Favourite race? Hutchy for me obviously due to his sheer tenacity and determination to overcome his extensive injuries, although I'm really a Kawasaki and Honda lover not BMW. Michael Dunlop is a moody bugger and I can't warm to him at all although with his family history it's understandable that he's not smiley. John McGuinnes is an undeniable legend.

Come join me in my love of fast bikes!

Hasn’t somebody died already?

It makes me uncomfortable. (Sorry, not in the spirit of the thread I know)

Do you want to see the one of the leaders?

Threetulips · 02/06/2022 19:11

There has been one death - stabilized here then flown to Liverpool.

It is sad when they die - waiting to hear what happened.

The helicopter is up - the super bike are about to do 4 laps -

Oh no, that's sad news. RIP Mark Purslow.

McPint is my favourite but in 2017 I was lucky enough to have visited Ballymoney and the memorial garden to Joey and Robert Dunlop and have a few pints in Joey's Bar, an ambition fulfilled.

I am in awe of the TT riders, they are on the fringes of human existence , pushing living whilst accepting death, choosing to risk having a half life lived to the full rather than a full life half lived.

Very sad to hear about Mark .

DH is there just now, he loves it.

There have been a few riders died there over the years, it's incredibly dangerous but these people go into it with their eyes wide open. They are experts in their field, but even they can fall foul of such dangerous racing. The Isle of Mann is such a beautiful place and the TT is very much a part of the Island and it's people.

Will only watching highlights but will be supporting Glenn Irwin as he’s one of my BSB faves.

I’ve not watched loads of the TT over the years but Mike Hailwood is distant relative on my mums side. The speeds are both terrifying and amazing! Watched a couple of the preview shows which have been on ITV4 last night.

Would love to go to the TT but last time we looked the cost for accommodation was insane!

HutchysHelmet · 04/06/2022 18:09

It was a great race. I'd love to go one day. My very first boyfriend lives there and said he and wife are usually away when the TT is on so we could stay at theirs if we ever want to go over. 1990 was when I last saw him so I thought that was very generous of him. I feel old now though as I was 13 when I knew him. Ag young love!
Excited now for the next races-bring it on!

Not sure if its too late to join in. I live on the island and love the TT. Have found the new TT plus app brilliant alongside watching it in person.

Roominmyhouse · 08/06/2022 19:56

The highlights have been good! Peter Hickman has been smashing it!

Did you see about the mix up of the sidecar racer who died? Bloody awful 😳
