I've just watched episode 1. Cracking programme. Thanks for letting us know.

[Bigyin]

Drive to survive on a lower budget but with bikes, humour and lots of people with cracking personalities

Also a large dose of realism in the risks involved by those taking part in the racing

Thanks for the PSA ,I was away last week so I watched the episodes on catch up over the last couple of days.

[Nordboy]

They truly are a different breed.

[Yorick]

I almost gave up during episode 1 as I've seen so much TT stuff, but glad I stuck at it.
Especially at the end. Rider doing 200 mph. 10 mins later daughter crying for choc ice cream


WTF was that about the Aussie (?) rider who's team packed up?

Race Time, Again. Or Is It?
Our second and final race was scheduled for Wednesday, June 8, but the Manx weather had other plans. Gradually dropping rain across the track, we were rescheduled for Thursday and a full four-lap race, so I went to bed early, got the best sleep I’d had in the two weeks and woke ready to give it absolute hell.

The weather looked good, but within an hour of waking up, fog had coated the mountain and we were, once again, informed we wouldn’t be racing that day and were rescheduled again, this time for Friday and a two-lap race.

It was at this point something rather interesting happened. Coming back into the pits at about 11:00 am, I thought I’d go see the team, just to say ‘hi,’ as I was sure they’d be as down as I was that we weren’t racing.

So, you can imagine my surprise when I arrived and my gear was on the grass, the awning taken down, and the bike strapped down in the truck.

As it turns out, my team boss, Paul, had an operation scheduled for Friday back in the UK, and he wasn’t going to miss it, regardless of the fact we still had one more race to do.

I will spare you the details of the language used—there was no way in hell I was not going to take part in that second race—and after a bit of back and forth, I told him I’d run the bike myself. I’d run bikes all over the world before, the bike had a new rear tire and full tank of fuel and as it was a sprint race with no pit stop, there was no reason I couldn’t do it here.

Paul eventually agreed and got the bike out, and gave me the generator, fuel and a small assortment of tools to run the bike. As I watched him pack the PRF complex up, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

But thanks to Oscar Solis and fellow TT rider Shaun Anderson, I had some shelter to put the bike and my gear, and we were good to go. Scott Compsty from PRF also came back to help us get the bike through tech inspection and run it the next day, which was gracious of him given the circumstances.

Despite his frustrations last year I see he's back for another go,racing for Wilson Craig this year
