IS A 130 MPH MOTORCYCLE CRASH - survivable ????

There are a lot of folks that think the guys that race at Isle of Mann is totally insane. I enjoy watching it, but honestly, you couldn't pay me enough money to race there. Even some of the MotoGP guys thinks they are nuts.

I enjoy watching that event as well. Attending the Isle of Man is on my Bucket List.

The guys who race that event definitely have balls of steel........or lack of brain cells, LOL.

One of the best race courses I've had the pleasure of watching a Superbike race occurred in Laguna Seca, back in 2002. Definitely an AWESOME place !! Of course, I placed myself at the famous Corkscrew and saw racers performing the left-right turn transition.

Wicked cool. Crossed that off my Bucket List.

At the bottom of the Corkscrew, I saw a racer high-side. Didn't faze him one bit and he got right back on his bike.

Hi Lou,
Had the "bucket list" experience at Laguna Seca when my son bought me a lap on the course. Of course it was lead but the " bike police" so we couldn't do any thing stupid........ but they didn't have a sweeper. Soooooo, my poor, old slow ZX-11 took the sweeper position and let the pack pull ahead. I had the corkscrew ( turn 9 ) all to my self and I DIDN'T do anything stupid.
