Smashing video's greencoat, I enjoyed watching them

In the Duke video, did I see one of the riders get a tank slapper under control or was it just a wobble like what I do?


Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........

Re: Killalane Roadraces

Some cracking vids there mate - I just managed to get hold of Dukes NW200 08 DVD. I have only watched the 250 race up to now because I ended up with a tear in my eye after witnessing Robert Dunlops lad win it

Sad bastid that I am
