On the way to work, walking through the hustle and bustle of drunk bikers and hot ladies I realized something - I’ve forgotten to write a SDMB thread about the TT! You can’t move for parked bikes.

When I forget to forget bring my camera out I will take some pictures of the nicer bikes (and if I have the balls - the nicer women) and figure out how to get them accessable by dopers (my webspace hasn’t been working for months)

yeah that road closure, real fun when you’re late for training and the dojo is the other side of the course and you’re gonna get push ups, lots and lots of push ups for being late ☹

But yeah, TT week is pretty damn cool otherwise - my ex girlfriend was miss wet t shirt two years running 😃

TT stands for Tourist Trophy. It’s probably _the_ classic motorcycle race in the world.
