Text :Q

this race has been going on now for maybe around ~100 years more or less this year... these nutjobs are running around an island with basically no run off room like race tracks do... so if they get highsided somewhere... theyre SOL... :Q balls to the walls riding... :beer:

I saw the Isle of Man race the other day....

First they had the 500cc(?) bikes and I was blow away by their speed....

THEN they had the 700cc(?) bikes, and it was like the 500cc's were standing still.

Finally they had a third race if I remember correctly...I think the engines were 1500cc's or something. All I know is that when they had a arial shot from a copter showing the bikes going like 250mph I nearly wet myself.

That sharp turn...I forget what they dubbed it, is killer. I remember the guy that didn't turn right, kept going straight, and then was like "WTF?!" when he ran out of raod😀

Sweet. I intend to go see that in person some day as it's by far the craziest motorcycle race out there.
