Isle of Man ...a closed street track (just in case you did not know) ,...
its bloody evil !!!
If they come unstuck!! ..wow , the stuff you could run into at very high speed boggles the brain ...
They are bloody gutsy as to do what they do on that type of street track..
That's prolly the best vid I have seen of it and there have been a few made ..

The only bad thing about this sort of road racing is the number of legends of the sport who have died doing it. 225 deaths on the Snaefell mountain course since 1911. That's not even counting the other road racing courses. I admire these guys so much for going out there and racing even when their faced with these risks.

I'm sick to my stomach thinking about each and every one of those corners I would have over-shot and wound up in someones living room!
That's just totally insane. I could never have that much focus being all A.D.D. riddled as I am!!! Nose Bleed? I'm Puking, tell the Lady she's lucky Steve!
Excellant Vid though, Thanks Classic!

Yer.... over shooting corners would be soooo bad and on that track has been a very deadly business...
How about doing that plus thinking about the lean angle you are at , at those high!! speeds at the same time in yu head , watching the walls and buildings wizzing by....gawd the mind boggles...
Over the years some top riders have refused to run that track ....
gee I wonder why? ...LOL
