YOU HAVE TO BE FRICKING CRAZY TO RACE ON WHAT THEY CALL A RACE TRACK.
The roads I rode fast on the street were WAY SAFER than anything on the track on Isle Of Man!!!!!
I only posted a video that doesn't show any of the fatal crashes that happen every year there!!!!!!

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Now like the AC DC song goes, to ride like these guys do, you definitely have to have " BIG BALLS"

I have seen a lot of races on youtube and tv, in my opinion death (wish) race riders.
These riders must have real balls of steel!!!
The cornering technique is out of this world.

I don't know, Joey Dunlop was 48 when he won his last TT and John McGuiness is 44 and still going strong as is Bruce Anstey at 47, In other classes guys as old as 85 are still racing the Isle {Ted Fenwick} ...!!! You should see the Northern Ireland Road Racing series, it makes the Isle look tame...!!!
Irish Road racing, some Isle of man footage too... These guys are crazy..!!!

I've been to the TT twice, the last time my wife and I both.marshaled. I have also discovered that my family is Manx! The mountain course is very demanding and it takes most riders years to learn it completely. The successful racers are Very talented and very rare. Only 3-4 people at any time are doing the fastest times in each class. John McGinnis has stated that his race line is 6 inches wide. If he is forced off his line just a few times his lap times go way up.
