Joey Dunlop/Isle of Mann moment

Post by Wattie »

was headed to work this morning, in a bit of a rush, (as you do on a Kwaka)
and for ppl who know the area near Kellyville pet shop. on Windsor road, i come tearing along, turn left and now it veares around to the right and onto a new bridge, i'd been here in the car on Friday (but at about 40ks following another car)
anyways, i come tearing around onto the bridge and up we go, 2 wheels off the ground, bit of a "what the??" does through my head, b4 i land smoothly like nothing has happened and continues on my way. :shock: . hehe
on later thoughts its a bit scary, as your still turning onto the bridge as it rises quickly launching you... :?
anyways, be carefull if you happen to be going through there at a rate of knots...

in baskerville on haddrill rd there are 2 rail crossings.
on the way to the feral pub for lunch they were good for roll on monos.on the way out they were both good launch ramps, first at 60 then 90 k/hr.
lots of gouges in road from car impacts.

Very cool.

I have a couple I like to try out from time to time. Still working up the courage to go for some decent hang time though.
