Has anyone been

Watching the TT races, its on all week on itv4 , Jeeezzzuss there brave or crazy, I like motogp and that level is way ahead of this but for action and pure mentalness its takes some beating

ISLE OF MAN TT - REAL ROAD RACING

 

Have to agree - this is the hairyest motorsport there is I think (speaking as someone that rides big capacity bikes) - the skill and sheer bravery is amazing.

I also suspect a few missing screws are handy when partaking in the TT's!

 

I have to watch from behind the settee

One mistake and you are lucky if they can bolt you back together. Check the speed the guy overtakes him at at 16.57 - and that guys started a minute behind him (I think).

What's double mad is how many competitors there are!!

 

Cool i like bikes but those nutters are really shoot in the head lol but still super 8)

 

One cat/dog/ rabbit or owt and its curtains luckily no ones been killed today, NUTTERS

 

I just watched 'TT - Closer to the Edge', the film about the 2010 TT where they follow Guy Martin and other riders around for the races. Jeeeezzz, those guys are nutters. Anyone with even a passing interest in motorsport should watch this as it's a great film. I'm not sure if it's bravery, determination or stupidity, but those guys (and girls) are something else. I have the utmost respect for them, it's certainly something I couldn't do.

 

I did the TT in 2010. My lady had never seen the TT before i raced. I thought mayb the way in to bike racing. She made me sell the bike end of 2010 lol. Amazing experience!

 

while at the isle of man circle yer wagons... i went to watch the start of the pratice sesions on saturday night
i was in the village of kirk micheal.. they must of been clocking a 120 i reckon coming thru the village





I did hear a rider hit a refuge lorry on the island he was said to be doing a 140mph, Deepest sympathy to the lads family... Dont know the full fact, but it could not of been during the pratice sessions as all the roads leading onto the race circuit are sealed off by barriers...

 

You ever watched that ghost rider bloke who makes videos ! A mate of mine showed me it don't know if he still makes them but he is off his rocker

 

Been round the circuit several times while working over there.

Have to say after having a bike for years, drove round the circuit in my van and its bloody scary.

Also did the mountain stage as a pillion.

Those guys have big cahooners.

 

I used to go loads cos my brother raced it and the manx gp. (Yes he is a headcase!! :)

He took me round the circuit in his tranny van and scared the heck out of me in that so what it is like on a bike I wouldnt like to think!
