Go fast.

Hehe...

Found this vid linked in aanother forum I run around in..

Isle of Mann is a motorcycle race held on the streets, as opposed to a typical racetrack.

History of the race

Seeing all of the people/shops, curbs, and signs go whizzing past gives a pretty good appreciation as to how fast these guys are actually traveling..

Warning: 3meg vid. (this means you, mot, hsantal, phyllis)

Re: Go fast.

That is the harriest motorcycle race there is, TT or otherwise bar none. I love watching that on television, those guys truly have nerve.

Re: Go fast.

Man, you gotta be a special type of person to throw around a "Crotch Rocket" like that.
No fear...I would NOT have the balls to do that.
