That's flipping sweet...

My hat is off to anyone who races these things. I know I would have to lose my wife and kid in a house fire to be driven enough to ride like that!

"House fire" not the best choice of words mate lol.
Road racers are completely bonkers, I take my hat of to them.

Damn, have those guys got balls of steel? (about 2:10 minute mark)... Flat out, 180 Mph down what could be called the "bendy Straight" and they're only inches apart... scary stuff.

Thanks for sharing. We get a few glimpses of road racing on Foxtel down here in Oz, awesome to watch, but that's all I'll be doing... Watching.

That got my blood pumping more quickly than a cup of coffee and a morning jog. Awesome. Thanks!

holy **** craziest thing i have ever witnessed (apart from that night I spent duct-taped to the ceiling in an insane asylum)

on some of those straights the bikes were bouncing up from irregularities in the roads, haha, inches apart 180mph, bendy and bumpy with almost no run off to either side.....holy poo

These guys clearly don't know what fear is....Respect!

RIP Robert Dunlop, his son and nephews went on to race in their races too, now that takes guts.

It would have nothing to do with the "rumor" about Irish and drinking would it?
