Surfing my cable service for upcoming motorcycle races I saw this thing called "Ulster Real Road race" ... no idea what it was so I set it up to be recorded. My wife, brother, and I watched it yesterday ..... WOW! For those of you unfamiliar with it, imagine Isle of Man but instead of staggering each rider at the start, the whole mob leaves at once just like a regular track race .. but on 100% public roads.

I guess it's now the "official" fastest road race on the planet with an average speed over 136mph. It was very exciting, and the camera work was outstanding.
I also learned about a Super Twin bike I'd never heard of known as the "Paton" (Images attached ... take note of the all hand brazed frame). There were A LOT of them at that event. What catches the eye first on the Paton is the two-shock rear suspension (y'know, like all of the pre-monoshock designs pre-1980s). Some say it's the best handing motorcycle on the tracks. Outfitted with some sort of Kawasaki vertical twin engine (650cc Ninja is my guess).
Superbikes, Supersports, Superstocks, Super Twins, Ultra Lights (250cc two strokes up against 400cc four strokes), and MOTO3 classes.
