That's like my usual ride into work. Yeah right. What took them 1:48 would take me an hour and forty eight minutes.

Is that a one lane road?

Those fences are awful close to the tarmac there.

Yikers!

No there normal two way country roads, takes to have b8lls of steel to be able to race them

Should take a look at vid's from the Tandragee 100, Cookstown 100, Northwest 200, Ise of Man TT or the Ulster GP

Racing at it's finest

I never get tired of Isle of Man or Irish road racing clips. To be at the top of this these guys have to risk so much. I can't imagine doing that for a living, year after year, when just one mistake could instantly end your life. Going those speeds on such a narrow road is just ridiculous.

Ohhh I believe it is from Isle of Man. Beautiful race, it's the one that I can actually watch.

Very challenging course. Great video!
