Every time I see any footage of this it blows my mind.
I would never be able to ride public roads at that speed, even if they were closed... I mean did you see that guy bounce down the hill? good thing the rest of the racing makes up for the crashes!
I love seeing the sidecar racers though, they're so cool! I wish I could find a streetlegal one that looks like that one day ^^

What cracks me up is when Valentino Rossi went to IOM last year, and called the IOM racers "crazy". LOL...

It's really insane that the IOM road course used to actually be part of the MotoGP circuit.

I would love to run that circuit just once on my 250R.

"I have huge respect for racers that ride this circuit flat out on a superbike as it requires massive courage and concentration. It's dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from any kind of track I am used to racing on."
