Love those northern accents.
Anyway, aside from the sheer awesomeness of watching these guys blast down public roads at upwards of 180 mph, there are some things we can learn if we watch them with a student's mindset.
To wit: I didn't see anyone drag a knee. Not one rider. And the lap averages are on the order of 130 mph. Those who view knee dragging as some sort of mark of skill -- especially on the street -- are IMHO completely missing the point. These guys are absolutely balls-out and they actually look like they're riding conservatively.

You need a perfectly smooth surface or you're going to break your knee cap.
