Our man Clinton Pienaar competed in this year’s Isle of Man TT races (seniors division) , arguably the most im-famous motorcycle race in the world. This is 4 laps of 64km each on the public roads of the Isle of Man.
Isle of Man - for football fans, close to Liverpool!
Riders clocking close to 300kph in places have to contend with painted lines, road signs, trees, telephone poles, spectators and of course the legendary ancient stone walls alongside the roads.
No kitty litter here on the Isle of Man TT races

The roads perfectly flat for 80kph become MX cross jumps at 250kph and riders battle to keep their front wheels on the ground.

Spectators find a good spot anywhere along the 64km course
Clinton Pienaar qualified and completed the Isle of Man TT races (senior division) 2010 on a Honda Fireblade
Clinton – “The average time for my best lap was 183.7kph – not bad when the lap is 64km long! Eventually 180kph felt slow. I’m a family man and rode to fulfil a lifelong dream, not because I wanted to prove anything. I’m glad I’ve done it, I can be proud of my achievements and I’m glad to be home!”
The race has been dominated by Ian Hutchinson for the last few years and this year was no exception – this kind of madness is fortunately a rare thing!
