While I would love to visit Isle of Man during the TT race and even ride it casually, I just don't have the balls to run all out like these fellas. The closest I'll ever come to it is the new-ish Isle of Man video game.

2:55 scares me the most.

Makes me want to get that V4 Panigale and pretend I'm special enough to be in that race haha!

Moto GP guys say these dudes have a death wish.

Drag and road courses are 2 different animals... even sanctioned pro races and what is essentially a street race are 2 different beasts.

Those guys are Alien.

I've been on Road Atlanta. It is a different world. The Isle of Man would be off the charts.

I may set the world's slowest time, but I want to run it.

I stunted sport bikes long ago. Cant even imagine doing that at my peak.

You would have to study that road pre race, like a mofo. Know that ****er by memory.

Yes you would, and even then the pucker factor would hold you on the bike. Your butt would become a vacuum, and you would be crapping leather for the next month.

While I used to ride balls out on my 07 CBR 1K these guys put me back to the training wheel days. Going to the TT is on my bucket list and when it happens I will be sitting outside the downtown pub drinking a pint while these nut bags fly by at ungodly speeds and it's going to be epic.
If you guys haven't seen it yet I highly suggest watching Closer to the Edge which documents Guy Martin's life around the TT. Guy is a real bloke who has been around road racing (non of that pussy ass GP shit) his whole life but unfortunately hasn't won the TT as of yet.

I really want to go see it. (if like minded people are around I am happy to discuss). The one problem is access. Basically "glamping" is the best you can do for overnight. And they skip days. So they might race on Saturday, then not again until Monday. I thought about one overnight, watch the race one day, then go to Ireland or England and bounce around.
