Can someone explain the difference between the classes to me?  I've searched but haven't found a complete explanation.  This is what I've got so far, though not sure if any of this is right:

Superbike [spec or purpose-built bikes?]
Supersport [1000cc production bikes]
Superstock [600cc production bikes]
Lightweight [250cc]
Ultra Lightweight [125cc]
Senior [??]
Zero [electric/zero emissions]
Sidecar [sidecar]

I think super stock is showroom spec 1000.
Supersport is race spec 600.

Senior is back to super bike if I recall.
I think it's just tradition which separates
Superbike from senior?

My wife after watching some TT podium interviews: "I know they're speaking english...right?"
I really wanted Guy Martin to podium so that she could be all

Great job by McGuinness in the senior TT showing the youngster how it is still done.  Dunlop did show great form in the early laps, but I wonder if he had a moment off camera.

Dunlop, while being interviewed after the Senior TT, called himself "the man"....interesting...

Not really. He has an ego about 17 miles wide...but then so would I if I had 13lb titanium balls and something broken in my head that allowed me to race the TT.

I actually understood most of that. Now I'm worried I might have had a stroke or something
