[Dan]

I've never heard about Isle of Man TT. I was definitely amazed. Hope those guys survived.

Perfect video, enjoy!

Eye opening video! Especially, the guy that goes off the road to the left....Bike cartwheels, you see the guy drop off below the road, then come flipping back up! Looks like a very deadly race.

It is the epitome of motorcycle racing, the IOMTT. I would like little more than to head over for the week of racing. Top of my bucket list. Very top.

When I was a kid all the bike magazines would cover the TT. Every biker would know about it. Now at least in the US it seems like a secrete, yet we have ten thousand hours of nascar and bicycle racing.

IMO the most exciting bike racing in the world. Imagine having to memorize a course of over 37 miles of public roads with stone walls, houses, trees, and other assorted death barriers going at the limits.
Kind of makes all the MotoGP riders look like cream puffs with 3 mile tracks, gravel runoffs. and soft barriers, etc.....

That's basically what Valentino said a year or two ago when he attended the Isle of Mann and was interviewed there. He said it made GP racing look easy by comparison.

They are just amazing. Something like 200+ deaths in the 92 years its been running. Not all of those were riders some spectators and officials.its just amazing.

I live on the Isle of Man and get to strech the legs of my FZ6 on the same roads as these guys as there are no speed limits on large sections of the track.

If you wanna see a full lap look here

And Skaife is trying to get it banned? WTF? Keep out Skaife. Worry about 4 wheels not 2 :rant:


IOM TT - some of the best riders/bravest riders in the world.

No way would I every do anything like that, but I love watching these road warriors :rockon:

Strange thing after watching that video. I was scared to death a few times, but just want to ride after seeing it!

Yes, very crazy greeks. I can't believe how often he was locking up the rear as he braked for corners. I was just waiting for him to launch himself off the outside of the corner everytime he did that.:spank:

He locks up the rear purposely, just showing off. He's wasting the time doing that. No doubt, he would be faster in corners if he passed them without locking up the rear
