The 60's Suzuki RP 50cc gearbox.I was at the TT regularly back in the sixties to see Hailwood on the 250cc six and Agostini on the MV. Also lucky enough to see Bill Ivy do the first 100mph lap on a 125cc and those crazy 50cc bikes with 14 gears! The course was a lot bumpier back then.
Cheers

Not to take anything away from TT riders but.....There are not more than 6 or so people on the planet that can do what Mike posted above. The TT may be the hardest most dangerous thing that is done in sports. I can only tip my hat to the guys that do this to win.
Follow the footprints in the snow. It was the first ascent of Annapurna III by three amateur Ukrainian climbers a couple of years ago.Uuuuuuuuh...where was whoever took that photo standing!!!?
Again, not taking anything away from TT riders but this is high speed mental processing as well- and not without a bit of risk.That video first makes me motion sick. Second my brain cannot process looking forward at that speed. These guys and rally drivers have incredible high speed processing capability...
That's the point- everyone has his own opinion of which sport is dangerous & demanding. We tend to think that our own sport is the hardest.Thanks but I would rather taking my supercharge MG TC special round the course at a more enjoyable but spirited pace and stop at the occasional pub.
