RZ/RD 350 & Misc. 2-Stroke Tech BBS

I really would reconsider taking an LC to IoM.

These bikes are ridiculously expensive over there which makes it a giant target for being stolen. The IoM is not a great place for a bike like the LC because speeds tend to be pretty high and would be easy to seize the thing on a long mountain uphill climb. Additionally it is easy to get the road wrong and go off the edge. There are loads of bike crashes over the 2 TT weeks. You will see lots of mangled bikes being pushed or trailered onto the ferry at the end of race week.

Rent a bike, take all the cost and risk out of it for your LC. Just take pics to show people when you are there. In my two trips to the TT I don't remember ever seeing an RZ or LC on the island.

That's interesting. The 2 stroke following is large over there.

When we were there in 2007 we saw the Holy Grail of street 2-strokes, a Bimota V-Due. I actually stood around for a half hour till the owner showed up and rode it away. Just wanted to actually hear the thing run. ;)

The truth is you won't see very many 2-strokes at the TT. At least I haven't in my trips there.
