TT2009 Ramsey Sprint

The 2009 Ramsey Sprint: Always a great draw card, I adore Ramsey and the machinery did not disappoint! The 'track' is actually a 'one eighth of a mile' section of Mooragh Promenade, which runs parallel with the northern coastline of Ramsey.

THE HAYABUSA FILES: Seemingly unburstable, the venerable Suzuki Hayabusa receives quite a work over by some owners. The line between pure Show Bike and Sprint Racer can appear very wide when appreciating the amount of detail on some of these machines.


STAGGERING, BUSA'S LOOK GREAT IN ANY COLOUR, BUT THIS, WOW!!	BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP	TYRE SEEMS SMALL


POLISHED FRAME	AN ALMOST STANDARD BUSA, LIGHTING UP THE REAR


BUSA LE, ON STEROIDS	CHECK THE BAR GRIPS, OUCH!	NOW THAT'S A TYRE

THE HARLEY DAVIDSON V-ROD: Well presented, personally I would have painted the frame another colour. The Radiator shroud is substantially 'narrower' than standard.


VERY SLIPPERY SHAPE, WITH STANDARD BELT DRIVE	RADIATOR IS MUCH SMALLER	ANOTHER 'HUGE' TYRE

TTXGP SPRINT BIKE: The Kingston University/LifeBatt Team had a very sophisticated entry in the TTXGP, details here. The Team also developed a Sprint Bike for Ramsey, suffice to say it was a 'first attempt at Ramsey'. The runs were expected to be 'quiet' but also offered very little forward motion!!


NO NOISE, NO TYRE SPIN, ALL HAPPENING. MAYBE NEXT YEAR!!	MINIMAL FRAME	DECENT BATTERY 'SIZE'

Concourse: The 2009 Concourse De Elegance, located adjacent the Sprint 'Track' had healthy numbers and some very well presented machinery.
