    New englander races the Manx TT

    Interesting account of the TT from a New Englander who raced the Manx. Someone I used to work with in the 80s tuned his Yamaha RZ back in the day, and they went to IOM this year and saw him racing.

    Bill is a hell of a lot of fun to be around. Did a trackday with him last year at NH. Like a kid in a candy store, he just won't grow up. He was lapping riders on a tz that day. Great guy.

    The Manx GP that they race in August on the IOM. Titled it kind of wrong.

    Basically it's the amateur race. Not on TV here like the may TT races but they still get some fast (and crazy) riders.
