I.O.M. TT part of our  biking history, so why knock something until you've tried it and 81,000 bikers are not dicks or tossers and where else can you go for a bike meet  like that without getting ripped off.  Back to who's to blame, has anybody really looked at the video, when the fast bike slowed down, he was doing about 30 - 35mph, so when the slow rider pulled out without looking or indicating, also, if you pull out, shouldn't you speed up, not put your brakes on (not once, but twice).  Plus on the TT mountain road, there is no speed limit and is also one way, so you ride, drive, accordingly and its also signposted keep left.  When you join a motorway, you speed up, not slow down, when you change lanes, you speed up, not brake.  Also, when you are on the autobahn with no speed limits, which is only two lanes, you don't pull out without looking or you will have a Porsche up your backside, and you will be to blame for undue care and attention, so I don't think the fast approaching biker could do much else unfortunately, when someone else pulls out in front of them. 

 

Hi, Thanks to your response regarding exhausts but went window shopping with charlie747 and of course a good ride out, shame about the wet weather on the way back, but have been looking at the scorpion exhausts. (the one with the red tip)
Sounds great, so it could be the one! 

Thanks for  gutted I did not make it today but did not see notice till to late 

Hi Andy, sounds like you had a good ride out.  Vance & Hines seems a good choice, I take it that its a very throaty sound, not too loud.  The trip in June sounds great, but unfortunately at the moment, it doesn't look as if I can make those dates.

Hi all, finally joined forum after watching it for quite a while, finding it quite informative. Got my GTR back in October, not had much riding time as weather started to get bad (not saying I'm a fair weather biker) but finding it very comfortable from my last bike! I have a magnesium grey 2011 model, which seems to have taken over from black as the fastest.
Looking forward to getting out a lot more soon and enjoying the GTR.
The GTR has a custom seat, large screen and bar raisers, also looking to change the rocket launcher (exhaust) but can't decide which one yet. I'm in the Peterborough area so looking forward to some great rides out!! :)
