@Marty_Hill_ @Lbartram Correct 👍🏻 I dont own them. But I did build them from the crankshaft up, and run them for Prosperity Racing 😁

@Lbartram Sam doesn't own them. He's just running them for Prosperity Racing

@SamWest62 at Braddan Bridge during the 2025 Isle of Man Supersport TT Race 2🇮🇲 #TT2025 #IOMTT104 @MotohubUk #WheelieWednesday

@Rideandskidit @cyclestore Definitely want to get on this 💪🏻 Can't do Saturdays at the moment 😭 Do you do anything midweek?

@SamWest62 @cyclestore Same gig matey just change of location. Got space for you on Saturday if you're free 😉

Finally get the hour back and it's light enough to cycle commute again 😍 Really miss this through winter. Before I raced engines I raced every type of push bike from velodrome to dh. Huge thanks to @cyclestore for supporting my racing & training for so many years,big love 🙏🏻 ❤️

@Rideandskidit @cyclestore I'd love to! How can I arrange something? I did the taster sesh at Buxton, what's the knutsford situation is it similar?

@SamWest62 @cyclestore You need to get over to the track in knutsford and spin some laps on a speedway bike Sam 😉🤘

@Schwantz0034 @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix it's quite a corner so you're hanging off the bike to the left anyway, the package is dangling safely off to the side 🍆😂

@SamWest62 @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix I was just wondering about the chances of compressing the ole nut sack against the tank when the bike bottoms out, or do you stand up a bit off the pegs until just after and then sit to help settle the bike?

Wonder how much of the road we use at TT?? pause at less than 1s in to this video. The bottom of barregarrow is a great place to spectate, it's accessible for TT & CTT & MGP Great video from @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix

@JimNotBob @Schwantz0034 @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix Interesting thanks! I've seen some data and I'm relatively quick through barregarrow, would love to compare apex speeds with the fastest guys

@SamWest62 @Schwantz0034 @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix You've always run the white line Sam, probably one of 5 or 6 I've seen do that, Dean has run the outside of the line a couple of times I was sat there. Incredible to witness.

@Schwantz0034 @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix mine too when I watched the Manx there in 2015! the jump into the compression isn't too bad itself, it's more about getting the bike settled asap before the bumps on the exit try to slap the bars out of your hands..

@SamWest62 @JimNotBob @ttracesofficial @BMWMotorrad @MotohubUk @ManxGrandPrix I'll be honest Sam, spectating here blew my mind even more than the bottom of Bray Hill 😱🤯🤯 Can that compression right at the bottom make the eyes smart?

@69peterkay Wonder what the regs will allow, Interested to see!

@SamWest62 Red to change the classes to allow old r1

Classic TT returns 2025 😎 initially sounds like another rebranding exercise but it's way more than that! We'll get more races, more classes, more bikes on track, more track time, more ManxGP track time 💪 Massive win for everyone involved,great to see the event growing 😁

@yamahaRich So far confirmed Ducati superbike, Bimota lightweight, and got some plans for historic junior but need a miracle on the budget for that one🤞

@SamWest62 What are you riding Sam? Bimota? Ducati? YZF750 😁

@Jonny_Annett @northwest200 @FatimaCarreira @MotohubUk @rstmoto @agv_uk @BMWMotorradUK @BMWMotorrad @cyclestore the only man to consistently get lobster sunburn everywhere we go 😂

@SamWest62 @northwest200 @FatimaCarreira @MotohubUk @rstmoto @agv_uk @BMWMotorradUK @BMWMotorrad @cyclestore Yes I remember 😂😂

This has been an unusual race season 🤔 The only meeting with uninterrupted good weather was the @northwest200 .. And with how the race calendars worked out I haven't even been on track in England yet! 📸 Photo from a sunsoaked NW200 by @FatimaCarreira

@WesBooth Hi Wes,hope all good mate been a while! Yes I'll be at @Oulton_Park this week for National Endurance. Entered the 1000cc open race on my little 600 because we love a challenge 💪 and to make it even harder I'm not doing qually on Friday so will be starting from back of grid 😂

Yet! Do you plan on doing so?

@AllAboutBikes50 😂 yep knowing how to get the old stuff round is all part of the challenge!!

@SamWest62 I did a few laps on my Grandad's 1939 Bantam around the TT circuit. Oil was mixed in with the fuel - it used to love to seize on the run down from the Creg if I shut it off when it started to shake when the speedo went past the top speed of 55mph 😆.

The Isle of Man is a beautiful place to break down, racing a 30 year old Italian bike is giving me plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery! The 916 doesn't enjoy getting hot,but let it cool down and she's ready to go again Here's some of my scenic breakdowns,it's not all bad

@yamahaRich @ManxGrandPrix I'm looking at Japanese 400cc power for the lightweight next year, but still sticking with an Italian chassis of course 👀

@SamWest62 @ManxGrandPrix Maybe go back to Yamaha power next year 😎
