:rock:Totally out of their minds but it sure does look awesome.

Rightfully so the greatest motorcycle event on this planet.

Looks like a great event for Neal to take his putt putt and test his cajones.:03::O:

I would need the bottle of champagne BEFORE the race.

I always think that one must have some sort of brain damage to do that. The part responsible for self preservation has to be out of order.:doh:

You know riding like that is extremely exhilarating even if you have never ridden a motorcycle you have ridden a bicycle and you know how it feels to go a certain speed.

Here is a pure head cam point of view with great music:

@Schroeder I disagree I think it would more that they enjoy the feeling and the challenge being on the razors edge it actually makes them feel more alive.Not all humans are like this though perhaps only 1%.

Great documentary about the TT(It is Al Jazeera I know big deal)

IoM TT racing is a fantastic spectacle, for bike fans it must surely beat WSB and Moto GP hands down. Where else* can 70 year olds race against someone half a century younger at speeds over 150 mph?

Don't forget the *North West 200 in Northern Ireland, just as good. :yeah:

The bike I want to get when I have my license will have difficulties reaching 150 km/h.:D

Me too.

With that level of concentration, mental discipline, and physical demand, i wonder what the after race emotional crash is like. I know how i feel after a weekend at the track, but can't fathom how that would feel.

But, on the upside of the experience, I bet the rush is mind blowing! :o
