Shelly, that the Manx or TT?
They are a few of his bikes over a few years. He's done the Manx GP, TT and Irish Road Racing. Quite handy that he lives in the Isle Of Man, so he knows the roads well.
Did you recognise Creg-Ny-Ba?? The straight down to the pub and a 90 degree left had bend into another straight. Think they usually have a stand there.
Of course I do, I know most circuits. Been to IoM and want another trip back 
Oh, re biking accidents, get a grip guys.... Old man has had a broken neck, was paralysed for two weeks, broken ribs, gangreen in the arm, broken hip, broken leg in 20 places yadder yadder blah....
He's still riding, and so do I. If your gonna go through life worrying about "what if" then i'd advise to stay indoors in case you get run over by a bus....
Rode into central london (the WORST travel ever on a bike) for 8 years, a few offs, but im still here with no broken bones, only a little dented pride, but a lot of experience gained.
Get some balls....... Nothing beats knocking down the gears, braking hard into a nice bend, on a nice summers day, air blowing through your bash hat hanging off the side of a bike.... And i've done a lot of sh1te with a lot of things petrol related......
There are a few good little 125's knocking around now, but a few are 4 strokes due to the EU monkies cranking down.
BTW, theres a guy with an SV1000 on one of the sites, restricted to 33bhp, gawd help him when it comes off
