Thought you might like to see a few pic of Finnish rider Jussi Luoma riding his 973cc Guzzi in this year's Classic Superbike race at the Manx GP. Don't know where he finished in the race but anyone who can ride at race pace for 4 laps of the Island on what are public roads (151 miles!) is a bloody hero in my book. Hope the pics aren't too big.

Cool! Thanks for posting these pics. I agree - that is probably the most dangerous course in the world!

Thanks for the additional info. Congratulations to Jussi for a great performance in one of the worlds toughest races. I hope the photo's show it's about the team work as well as the rider. My best time for the course, 2 hours 45 minutes. That was just one lap and included 1 stop for a cup of tea and 1 for a pee after I got the exit from Sulby Bridge badly wrong.
