      North West 200 weather looked perfect...love road racing!
      Not long before they'll be flying round the TT course just down the road from our house! can't wait!

      If we have weather like we've had this weekend even more crazy lap speeds and records will be broken..

      anyone at the NW200 this year? some great footage on YT..

      I missed it for the first time in ages mate.

      Sad day though as young Malachi Mitchell Thomas was killed in a crash.

      My Dad and Uncle were right at that part of the course as its where we always go s a friend has a house right on the coast road.

      Yeah, he won the Junior MGP last August over here and was about to take on the TT as a newcomer this year....

      Some bottle to fly round both the NW200 and the TT course though!..

      it's a part of the sport I still can't quite get my head round if i'm honest.. that split second thinking has to be bang on..
      I've spoken to a few local TT riders over the years and they all say that your thought process is usually about two miles ahead on the road working out the gear changes and racing line while all the time your full throttle..
      I've got a lot of admiration for road racers, always full of character and respect for the machine they're riding..

      Looking forward to the Hutchy programme.

      Has a great chance this year on the Tyco BMW and good to see him back winning at the NW200.

      On a more downbeat note Ryan Farquhar has been taken back into intensive care after seemingly being on the mend after his crash at the North West.

      Yeah Hutchy looking like a favourite again, but who knows, local rider Conor Cummins has just switched to Padgetts Honda for the Supersport and the Superstock races so its brewing up nicely..

      Hope Farquhar recovers okay, that was a nasty fall..

      Yeah, great insight into how he's grown into one of the best road racers around..His come back after his injuries is just beyond belief..
      If he carries these mental practice sessions into the race days he's defo a favourite to clean up (again).
      Weather is perfect over here today again and looks like staying that way right through race week.
      I can hear them now flying through past ours, just got in from work so might nip down for a skeet after me tea..

      They've all been going well mate.. I think they have all pretty much qualified thanks to the amazing weather we've had so far.
      Dunlop and McGuiness both topped over 130mph laps tonight so it's game on.
      I watched the sidecars do a lap late on and even those boys we're quick..crazy machines they are!

      Great footage on ITV4

      Can't wait for the first race..

      Mickey D scorching it in practice last night by all accounts.

      Fastest lap of the week on the big bike and even his run on the stock machine was less than 3 seconds off Hutchy's Superbike lap.

      Hope the big man makes it count on race day.

      He's the one that will push it to the limit mate, every time he goes out.
      The ace weather we're having has allowed all the top outfits to qualify really early so they can relax and make some adjustments that will push the machines that little bit further..
      Confident we'll see Micky D doin a 133/4 mph lap at some point.. that's just f**kin insane

      Mickey D wins the Superbikes by almost 20 seconds.

      Lap record from a standing start as well.

      Awesome stuff.

      On a sad note Dwight Beare lost his life on the mountain course today in the sidecar race.

      RIP Dwight.

      Crazy week of high's and low's so far..
      Watched Saturday's Superbike race at a really fast section of the course up around Ballaugh Bridge and they we're frightening.

      No racing today, open roads are mad, bikes everywhere.

      another day of racing and lap records broken tomorrow i'm sure..

      Made up to see Dean Harrison on the podium yesterday, made it to 2nd after MD was disqualified from runner up for having an illegal engine!!
