Those guys are out of their God damn minds . I always get this image of a rodent like a woodchuck darting out of the brush and causing a devastating wreck .

It's crazy.
MotoGP is crazy too, but the TT is a whole different thing.

Yup.

Even most serious track-day riders and professional racers think those guys are bonkers.

If you really value your life you wouldn't do it IMHO.

Jeesh, those rock walls on each side of the street are horrifying at those speeds

Motigp is a higher skill level but TT is bigger balls and no room for error
 
These are but a few of my favorite IOMTT pictures. My Son and I are going to next year's race. My first year to attend the IOMTT was in 1986, I have two cousins who live on the Isle of Man. I was on leave and decided to go visit them and it so happens I arrived 2 days before the start of the TT. I'd heard about the IOMTT races when I was younger from my cousins when they came to the USA to visit. They hooked me up with a Full Access Pass for the whole event... I forgot to mention that they live above a Pub that's right on the course.

Thats awesome!
You guys gotta get some vids to bring back! Really cool you get to witness that event with your boys, they will always remember that stuff. :thumbsup:
 
I am.
While both need specific skills, I'll put my money on a MM, Rossi, etc. over any of the IoM guys.
Any of those guys ever run there? I know its kinda a one off thing, but seems like one or two of them would have. Don't know..
I see the bikes headshake at insane speeds in some of the videos, Im sure they run stabilizers, but still you can see the camera wobbling in some sections...
Crazy stuff
