Piute, I have a few mates who long to race the TT, its not for me, and I have raced all my life, its for a brave few who need that buzz. It is, I admit the most dangerous road race in the world, but, it is the ultimate challenge for riders... fD

Found a video that shows the true level of insanity of this event. Look at how loose the bikes get when landing over a small hill…the cliffside crashes, the speed inches from the curbs. On the race track, most of these riders look like they ride at the limits of their machines, but on the Isle of Man, it looks like they ride just beyond those limits! I have to go next year! :)
