"Safest" TT Rider - Smudger's Lodger - 21-05-2015
For the stats guys out there...
Who's the rider who has completed the most TT race laps of the IoM Mountain circuit without an off?
RE: "Safest" TT Rider - BcakWeleher - 21-05-2015
Is this a quiz? or are you expecting a correct answer?
This is a guess..
Dave Madsen-Mygdal ???

JM130 ?
RE: "Safest" TT Rider - sticky - 21-05-2015
It's probably John. Lougher had a big off at Union Mills in 2004 and another big one (Mountain Box?) earlier in his career. Dave Magic-Mushroom famously got spat off in the first TTxGP practice session at Braddan when the thing he was riding locked up and almost put him in the tree on the road island!

I was going to say Joey but I think he did have a small off, however these boys have had more finishes with no off's as far as I am aware of,

Span i'm pretty sure Bud was off coming out of Brandish during practice for TT97

I think Nick has parted company with his machine 3 times.

One of the Jacksons - can't remember if it was Bob or Bud had a get off at the 11th in the MGP a few years back. Chris Petty binned at Keppel not too long ago.

I am sure that Tony Rutter only had one "off "" at the TT, and eight TT wins. and numerous podiums. No doubt somebody will correct me !
RE: "Safest" TT Rider - Geekay - 24-05-2015
If it was the longest span in years at the TT without an 'off' , I'm guessing it would maybe be a sidecar racer.

RE: "Safest" TT Rider - Max Power - 24-05-2015
It certainly wasn't me anyway!
RE: "Safest" TT Rider - Cregwilly - 25-05-2015
Mick chatter ton 100% crashed on the mountain late 80s broke a good few bones
RE: "Safest" TT Rider - Splashdown - 25-05-2015
I think Mick Chat crashed at Joey's in 1997. I was in hospital with him!
And for your information I have crashed FIVE times round the Mountain circuit, not a record I'm proud of, but two were machine failures.
Moving on, did Charlie Williams ever crash there? In my mind he was one of the safest TT riders around.

And one of the best.
RE: "Safest" TT Rider - David Linsdell - 26-05-2015
Dad started (I think) 77 races around the island between 1981 and 2012 and never fell off. He did have some near misses though!
