yes,proper bike.

this lap included a slow down for the pit stop,the only real flying lap is lap 6,could he break 130mph?
remember this is his average speed for 37.73 miles!!!
and the tarmac is melting on the road at the 11th milestone.

I felt the same mate as DJ was a good friend of mine so i suppose it was a sentimental thing but you can`t take it away from John Mac,he`s an absolute proffessional and an awesome rider....

Never going to happen though was it?

Technology/tyres etc move on so the TT lap record will continue to increase as it always has done (unless the safety nazis get involved)

That in no way detracts from DJ's achievements on the island though imo
