My Dad had a friend who thought he was a hot rider and went to the TT one year. Story goes he was out giving it his all and got passed by two other riders that were tinkering with their carburetters as they went by. He decided it was time to quit.

Pretty crazy stuff when you see a lap of the TT from an onboard view.

I am amazed at the amount of grip those motorcycles have in the turns.

TT Isle of Man...I gotta hand it to these riders they got balls and nerves of titanium to pull it off at such speeds.
They're well aware of the risk if something goes wrong but that doesn't seem to stop them.  it's as the title says the greatest show on earth if you like biker sportsHunterICX
