The DD bikes are eligible for the Manx GP, albeit against 600cc/1000cc machines, but would anyone be interested in doing the Manx GP on a DD bike?
You'd get mullered, but its all about the craic isn't it?
Two weeks holiday racing around on public roads!
I started racing in 1997 with one thing in mind - the TT. I've never gone and now have a much stronger feeling of self preservation. If I was to do the Manx nowadays, I'd rather do it on something slow, can you imagine riding a superbike around there?
No ta!
There are 3 classes you can race in, Newcomers (Monday), Junior (Wednesday) and Senior (Friday).
Your thoughts?
I'll just add, that a 65bhp DD bike must be able to crack 100mph, which is pretty damn respectible!
