Info from Phil Wain on TT forum

It’s going to take me a bit of time to trawl through everything and get all my stats updated but a few early bits of info: Dean Harrison was the only new member of the 130mph club meaning 14 riders have now achieved this mark. As well as Harrison, Bruce Anstey, Michael Dunlop and William Dunlop set their best ever lap at TT2014. Josh Brookes, Dan Kneen and David Johnson all lapped in excess of 129mph for the first time. Peter Hickman’s stunning lap of 129.104mph on the last lap of the Senior already makes him the 19th fastest rider of all time. Big movers on the all-time fastest lap chart include Dan Cooper (up to 29th), Ivan Lintin (now 33rd) and Russ Mountford (34th). 12 riders broke the 120mph barrier for the first, five of whom were newcomers – Peter Hickman, Martin Jessopp, Phil Crowe, Danny Webb and Vick de Cooremeter. The other riders were Michael Sweeney, Sam Wilson, Christopher Dixon, Connor Behan, Eric Wilson, Daley Mathison and David Madsen-Mygdal. For the first time since 2003, John McGuinness is no longer the outright lap record holder. This year was also the first time he's finished a 'big bike' race without standing on the podium since the 2000 Senior – in the years since then, he’s even been 1st, 2nd, 3rd or retired from the F1/Superbike and Senior races.

Sulby for a day,,

Next up

Glen Mona

This is our local pup while at the TT,the best discription I can give of a night with landlord Dave in the Glen Mona is to watch the movie From Dusk Til Dawn,,,starts off slow until all hell breaks loose, we had a blast,,,,,,,,

Some heavy artillery

My TT 2014

Back from A TT where Micheal proved he is King of the mountain ,Richie got two great finished in the Supersport and got home safe and sound and where Bruce became the FASTEST ever to lap the TT course and add,s this to the Fastest lap of the Dundrod circuit. William survives a mental crash and we lost two brave racers Bob and Karl, Joy and tragedy,we watched every race even bits of the sidecars,we drank some of us danced,we moaned met old friends and made new friends and laughed plenty and arrived home shattered,,,,,,,,,,,,

Good start

Well done to Richie 3 steady laps on the TT circuit this evening and a best of 109.5 mph, and not one a flying lap thats the sort of start he needs. The TT live option with split times is a great asset and having Manx radio in the background rounds it off nicely,,,a good evening well spent
