TerryMcCann Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 789 mph on the Peel to Douglas road. Those 'go faster' stripes on my 850cc mini really worked a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I reached 67mph coming down from Kate's Cottage to the Creg in my little Metro. I might have been able to go faster but the brakes aren't that sharp so I had to start slowing for the corner. It was certainly a white knuckle ride that day. All that adrenaline, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't drink my cup of tea when I got home. Stav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhumsaa Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Which bit's the mountain mile? From the mountain box to guthries basically once you turn that right hander and start looking down over the north of the island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've been in my car doing 140 on the mountain, but I wouldn't dare to drive it that quick myself. I was screaming like a baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Speeds in excess of 65/70 mph on the Isle of Man are unnecessary and reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petemeat1 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 There is a time and a place for speed and IOM has it all! Over the mountain I had 165 MPH on my Aprilia RSVR 2 years ago and will be trying again on a GSXR 1000 on the 31st Narch this year. I love the IOM and the people are the best I have ever met in my life I am over for the TT again this year and if there are any friendly females willing to show me around the island it would be much appreciated and payment in many beers and having a good laugh is gauranteed ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
