Day 2 of the Isle of Mann Classic TT. Assortment of Motorcycle photos and local Architecture.....

Our new friends Rob and Ian..
 Today was the main event of the Classic TT. A three lap race (37 miles per lap) and it was for 500cc motorcycles. Most where 500cc singles of the 1950s and 1960s. Nortons, AJS, Velocettes, etc. They went amazingly fast for such old motorcycles. This is a very tight twisty street track and the winner still managed an AVERAGE speed of 107+ MPH!
In one hour the tide can come in so fast the water is right up to the sea wall

Motorcycles and motorcyclist everywhere!



A Beautiful City!
