Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Hutchy is on it in practice. You wouldn't bet against 5 in a week again.

yep hutchys on fire but there so many of them doing very high average speed laps,reports say the rcv is a proper weapon

Last night Hutchy had 130.626 on s1000rr and Anstey got 128.976 on the RCV.

If Hutchy hadn't got injured I think he would be close to McGuiness on 23 wins and challenging Joey's record.

Talk of the rcv being banned for the sbk class

People ar saying it shouldn't be eligible because it's not a full production bike

r7
Rc45 rc30
Ducati 996 sps , 996r , 998r, 999r

to name a few

wsbk needs a bit more life to it would be shame to not see it race

I thought it met the regulations tbh. Or that's what I heard.

A question I do have is the superbikes all have modified fuel tanks increased to 24 litres and still run out of fuel.

Why not fit a 25 litre tank ? Or is their a limit on fuel capacity ?

Wish I was there sat in the sunshine watching the awesome spectacle.

Must be at least 3 tweets a day from IOM Constabulary saying Mountain closed due to RTC. First one for today was at 6am.

Come on guys stopping throwing yourself at the scenery.

Was talking to my neighbor and he said it happened all the time last year as soon as they opened the roads someone crashed

they must be riding really stupidly because they are beautiful wide open roads,people just like to ruin things for everyone else

This sign is getting alot of use
