TRIPLE British Supersport Karl Harris is to become the latest circuit rider to brave the roads and enter the Isle of Man TT.

Harris will contest in all three of the 1000cc solo races, riding for the Lancashire-based SMT Honda team.

The Sheffield rider has already had his first introduction to the TT course from rider liasion officers John Barton and Richard 'Milky' Quayle.

The 32-year-old said: "It's properly exciting. I've done a few laps now with Milky and the place is awesome but you've got it treat it with the respect it deserves.

"I've always wanted to do the TT just never had the opportunity so it is really something to look forward to. I've got a lot of work to do looking at on-board DVDs so it's going to be a learning process but it will be fun."

Best of luck Karl,
Still remember that horror incident at Thruxton, when he got a Gixer in the kisser! Thought that was him done...

Can you imagine a chat between him and Guy Martin? - Lost in Translation!

Lets hope he stays safe, as he has a bit of a reputation for being a crasher.

eeek. As much as i support the bomber, he did turn into a pretty frequent crasher. Maybe the TT isn't the best place to get back on a superbike.
