You have a Cherokee classic right?


Probably the most reliable jeep ever built.

Yup! Posted a pic a while back and came across an old quote from this thread, finally responded. Other than the "death wobble" they are notorious for I think they are great. My nephew drives one too. No doubt the classic/sport Cherokee's are not meant to be driven fast...

Just an insane race that separates the men from the boys.

That is your opinion but I race and don't consider my self stupid. My optometrist races with me and I wouldn't think he's stupid either.

I'm being sarcastic. My (late) uncle raced everything two wheel related being on sand, dirt, asphalt or ice.

Current top riders are now routinely exceeding 130 mph AVERAGE over the IoM course. 37.7 miles of winding, bumpy public roads lined with buildings, stone walls, posts, fences, curbs, ditches, manhole covers, etc. Well over 200 riders have been killed on the TT so far in it's 108 year history.

I root for this dude. Guy Martin. A truck mechanic in normal life.

Yes. That is old records. I just wanted the map. If you have a PlayStation that will still do PS2 games, "Suzuki TT Superbikes" will give you a feel for what these guys do.

Congrats to Bruce on his most recent win. 46 years old.

Ian Huchinson's left leg X ray after his big BSB crash a few years ago. He's really lucky to still have it. 3 TT wins this year so far.

I'm a Suzuki guy as well. Was just surprised to see one in the showroom.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Actually the H2R has the 300 hp. The regular street H2 has a measly 200 or so.

Your the kawasaki guy,so you'd know more than me. I was just repeating what that dealer told me. Said they have 2 street versions. One with just under 200hp, another with just under 300, and yes the R, race bike with over 300.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Too much for me. I'll stick with my puny 111hp and 76ftlbs.
