@AHardyBreed Ducati let go bottom barregarrow lap 1, couldn't get back in time to get back out.
Next day bmw engine failed lap 1 (due to nw200 crash), stuck out again.
Supertwin failed scrutineering due to 'fairing brackets & visible wiring', same bike ive used last 2 years with no changes

@Marty_Hill_ @Lbartram Correct 👍🏻 I dont own them. But I did build them from the crankshaft up, and run them for Prosperity Racing 😁

@Rideandskidit @cyclestore Definitely want to get on this 💪🏻 Can't do Saturdays at the moment 😭 Do you do anything midweek?

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

Finally get the hour back and it's light enough to cycle commute again 😍
Really miss this through winter. Before I raced engines I raced every type of push bike from velodrome to dh.
Huge thanks to @cyclestore for supporting my racing & training for so many years,big love 🙏🏻 ❤️

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@Rideandskidit @cyclestore I'd love to! How can I arrange something? I did the taster sesh at Buxton, what's the knutsford situation is it similar?

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@Schwantz0034 @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix it's quite a corner so you're hanging off the bike to the left anyway, the package is dangling safely off to the side 🍆😂

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

Wonder how much of the road we use at TT?? pause at less than 1s in to this video.

The bottom of barregarrow is a great place to spectate, it's accessible for TT & CTT & MGP

Great video from @JimNotBob

TT2024 @SamWest62 through Barregarrow

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@JimNotBob @Schwantz0034 @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix Interesting thanks! I've seen some data and I'm relatively quick through barregarrow, would love to compare apex speeds with the fastest guys

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@Schwantz0034 @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix mine too when I watched the Manx there in 2015!
the jump into the compression isn't too bad itself, it's more about getting the bike settled asap before the bumps on the exit try to slap the bars out of your hands..

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@69peterkay Wonder what the regs will allow, Interested to see!

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

Classic TT returns 2025 😎 initially sounds like another rebranding exercise but it's way more than that!
We'll get more races, more classes, more bikes on track, more track time, more ManxGP track time 💪
Massive win for everyone involved,great to see the event growing 😁

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@yamahaRich So far confirmed Ducati superbike, Bimota lightweight, and got some plans for historic junior but need a miracle on the budget for that one🤞

@Jonny_Annett @northwest200 @FatimaCarreira @MotohubUk @rstmoto @agv_uk @BMWMotorradUK @BMWMotorrad @cyclestore the only man to consistently get lobster sunburn everywhere we go 😂

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

This has been an unusual race season 🤔
The only meeting with uninterrupted good weather was the @northwest200 ..
And with how the race calendars worked out I haven't even been on track in England yet!

@WesBooth Hi Wes,hope all good mate been a while!
Yes I'll be at @Oulton_Park this week for National Endurance.
Entered the 1000cc open race on my little 600 because we love a challenge 💪 and to make it even harder I'm not doing qually on Friday so will be starting from back of grid 😂

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@AllAboutBikes50 😂 yep knowing how to get the old stuff round is all part of the challenge!!

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

The Isle of Man is a beautiful place to break down, racing a 30 year old Italian bike is giving me plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery! The 916 doesn't enjoy getting hot,but let it cool down and she's ready to go again
Here's some of my scenic breakdowns,it's not all bad

[Sam West #62 @SamWest62]

@yamahaRich @ManxGrandPrix I'm looking at Japanese 400cc power for the lightweight next year, but still sticking with an Italian chassis of course 👀
