averages a death a year, Real street racing. Win here and you can win anywhere. Paramount risk management, too much risk in a corner and your dead, no run off just concrete.

To be truly alive.

...averages a death a year, Real street racing....

I understand this used to be a sanctioned race but due to the number of injuries and deaths it is no longer sanctioned. Watching the racers on those roads is terrifying!

There will be a movie released about the race in the coming weeks:

Definately something I want to see.

I met a guy in Daytona at the hotel bar this year who races in the sidecar series at the Isle on Man every year. In my opinion these are some of the craziest (some would say bravest) people on earth

Every time I watch that it makes my man parts shrink... :roflblack::roflblack:

Skill is an understatement for those folks... And I say that race is...

Awesome racing for sure!

Yes, I heard there was going to be a full length feature about the TT. Apparently it's been in development for quite some time but funding was an issue. Looks like it's actually going to come to the big screen after all. I can't wait! I hope there is a version on IMAX. Now THAT would be awsome!

Super :thumbup:

I will be watching that when it comes out and have a copy, Faster is still the gold standard for modern motorcycle movies and On any Sunday is outstanding.

Racers Race, Racers win, Racers crash, Racers die and racers LIVE.

Thanks for putting that up, Seth. Amazing Riders!!!

 

[Firefly]

:thumbup: great stuff--- can't wait to see the movie!

Better still, come on over and watch for yourself. A week of Practice and a week of racing, all Free. You wont believe how close you can get to the riders. To feel the thunder in your chest from the bikes is truly an adrenalin rush of undescribable fear. Wonderful.
:yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

That is probably one of the top things to do on my bucket list...to see the Isle of Mann race. I can’t even imagine how exhilarating that must be to be so close to the action. :bowdown:

:agree: :bowdown:

I would be down to come over there, it would be great to know someone and pay them instead of some crazy hotel deal. Wheelchair division? **** it would be fun to race that ****.

we should setup a course thru cuba on route 66 like this, have be a 5 mile loop 4 laps. I will pay in my share for the ambulance standby.

It would make some news for sure, spyder and motorcycle categories.

It's funny you mention "Faster" Seth. I just got my Speedgear catalog yeterday and saw that DVD in there. I was thinking about getting it but now I'm going to get it for sure. :thumbup:
