On-board with McPint on the Mugen.

This thing sounded nuts. Hopefully not too many years til they bump up the lap count with swappable batteries and increased capacity.

Right now with one lap, it seems like it's a bit of a sideshow and not really taken seriously. And I suspect they are somewhat resistant to change here!

The new Tesla battery looks like it has made a difference to the life and power.

One more from the TT.

Today while waiting in the IOM departure lounge, we got chatting to a friendly Northern Irish chap for an hour or so.

Turns out it was 5x TT winner Brian Reid. Thoroughly top bloke, and an absolute honour to meet him :yes:

Two stroke madness.

AS fast or faster in the comers, but just lack of top speed compared to the newer bigger bikes.

Of all the bike manufacturers I would have picked Harley Davdison the least likely to make an electric bike :?

Nice vids guys, thanks for sharing. It seems you guys are all into the road bikes! I gave up riding on the road a little while back. I missed being on two wheels, so I went back to riding on dirt. So I figure I'll share a couple of vids here from time to time as well. :)

Firstly, something that makes me want to be 20 years old, fit and fearless is Supercross. It's an amazing sport. These guys are really athletes:

There are honestly so many awesome supercross videos, I could share them all day.

And a bit of Electricity, as it seems to be a trend on this thread? :)

I was looking up the Triumph Bonneville last night and came across this amusing review.

It's not as bad as the title suggests, its a great insight into how the IOM draws in the nutters who ride it... :respect:

Dani Pedrosa pulled a 100m stoppie in FP1 at Motegi on Friday morning braking from over 280 km/h to 90 km/h at turn 11. Valentino Rossi got a great view on Pedrosa's skillful move as seen from the Italian's OnBoard camera.

Rossi presents the 2015 R1. Sexy as I reckon.

Bike looks alright too.
