Motorcycle racing's 'most dangerous' event is underway and a rider is already dead

[Gerald]

Every spring, the Isle of Man - a tiny island hanging between Ireland and Great Britain - becomes a high-velocity, all-stakes speed zone.

Around 40,000 outsiders cram onto the island annually to watch and participate in what organizers call "the most dangerous race in the world."

The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) is a series of motorcycle races. For two weeks, bikers blitz the public roads looping around the island at speeds approaching 200 mph

I remembered about thirty years ago when I went with a mate, so I sat behind him, on high speed on highway in fast turns ... it's still stuck so motorcycles have never been my thing. Even if I have license for it.
