Default Isle Of Man 2011

How many of you are excited that Isle of Man starts in just 20 minutes.
I am stoked. It was great watching Hutchy dominate last year. As a huge honda fan it is always great to see domintation.

If you havent seen Isle of Man, check it out. One of the best races you could ever watch. Great course and its a time trial. Check YouTube if you havent seen any races.

Let me know what you guys think of the race.

I think that they are amazing riders with no fear.

They have the times up for the practices. It would be so awesome to get to ride your bike over there. I have a buddy that has driven his car over there and said it was sweet.
