Brammo Highlights from the 2009 TTXGP

It’s been covered too well by better writers than I (see here and here), but I have to say that it is indeed a sad testament to the truth of the maxim of “no good deed goes unpunished” that the TTXGP will not be happening at the Isle of Man this year.  That said, let me rub salt in the wound by passing along a video shared by Brian Wismann, the lead designer of the Brammo Enertia and the Brammo TTR race bike.  It is footage (courtesy of TTXGP) of the Brammo bikes at last year’s event.  Those were heady days and there was a shared sense of witnessing history among those of us who were fortunate enough to know where to look to find the latest race results.  If we had been able to see footage like this, we would have been overwhelmed, no doubt.

New TTXGP Video – Worth the wait?

The video released today by the TTXGP folks ranks high on Brammofan’s Awesomeness Scale.  Maybe even above a 9.  Multiple Brammo TTR shots, along with some really smooth editing and post production work adds up to two thumbs up from me.  My only criticism (because you know it’s coming) is that I wish they had put a fraction of the energy that they put into this video, into some live feeds during the event.  I know it was the first year and it was new and green and techy, but when @skadamo and I had to resort to begging people on the Isle of Man forums to post the results of the race, something is a little lax in the area of “planning.”

That said, here’s the footage and your official warning to Hold . On . Tight (ly).

New Race Footage from TTXGP – Don’t Blink

Great new footage from the Isle of Man.

Today’s Brammo Pics: Assembly Line and TTXGP

I saw one this morning that I was going to post, and I thought, “hold off, there will probably be another later today that is post-worthy.”  I’m glad I waited.

From a twitter post by @BrammoSays:

Enertias rolling down the assembly line in Oregon

Sweet.  Coming to a Best Buy near you, on July 5, 2009.  And by “near you,” I mean “if you happen to live in or relatively near Portland, Oregon.”  So good to see that these are moving down the line.

The pic that was called to my attention earlier by another twitter user, @voicecoils, was this one, from last week:

Two Brammo TTRs heading down the lane

That’s Mark Buckley and Roy Richardson, the riders for the Brammo Best Buy Racing Team.

I will update this post with any other post-worthy pics as the day proceeds.

Congratulations to Team Brammo Best Buy for their #2 and #3 Finishes Today at TTXGP

Roy Richardson and Mark Buckley celebrating after qualifying 2nd and 3rd at TTXGP

Enjoy and celebrate… but be ready for Friday’s race!
