John Britten, a Kiwi legend

It really makes you wonder where the direction of bikes would have gone, if he hadn't passed away. Ducati would be crapping their pants, these days, i'd say

!!!!!!!!. RIP JB

I remember watching this bike run rings around the Ducatis at the Sound Of Thunder BEARS racing at Ruapuna back in the 90's.

except the nurbergrig is only 7.5 miles th TT is 37.5 mile and a bit harder to ride as it goes through towns and moorland. i have been a marshall at the TT for 10 years its more than a buzz to the riders ,its a way of life.

And everyone who goes never forgets its awsome presence and respect the track in a massive way.

@2000bda Its almost 3 times longer than the nurburgring!

No wonder so many died at this circuit, it would be bloody hard to memorise this track. Much like the Nurbergring I guess?

I once had the full version of this. Are you able to upload the rest?

Possibly the GREATEST bike ever made, pure passion and incredable engineering, made a joke out of the the BIG four and gave Ducati a bloody good run for their money! What a loss John Britten was to motorcycling............
