A Dunlop Girl

I still surprise myself when it comes to my passion with the TT and the Dunlops in particular. I thrive on any excuse to talk to someone new about the TT, about the Isle of Man, about the riders, my experiences. And how it changed my life. I find it can be a little intimidating. Being a woman who is into the sport, who isn't just about "oh, I like men in leathers" but to be someone who is actually passionate about the sport. Someone who will talk and talk and talk about it until someones ears are bleeding. I hated bikes. I wasn't interested at all at going to watch them. I knew the names of two riders, and their uncle and dad who died doing their passion, and that was it. But the person I am today, knows a lot more. I want to understand the sport. I feel passionate about it. When I'm on the island I don't want to miss a race. I get slightly moody and grumpy if Michael or William retire and are no longer in the running. I still support other racers but my heart...
