All I'm hearing all day and night is motobikes of al types caning it up and down the local roads... even tho the offical track is over round P'rush/P'Stewert to ballymoney and back.

This thing is MASSIVE over here!!! thousands of people all round the course. nightmare to get from work site to the next !! :D

The first test runs in this amazing weather produced an average speed round the road course of 121mph.. f00k!
