To be honest......for me, this is probably the most dangerous sport, but at the same time (watching it is fun). Does anybody like Isle Of Man TT ?

Of course, I like very much road racing. This is racing for real men...
There is a very good movie about it : TT Closer To The Edge

Feel free to share. These guys really have balls. It must be half a miracle there aren't several deaths each year if you look at those speeds. The guy that flew down the hill was lucky it happened outside of a village and not inside of one, hitting a sidewalk or wall at that speed might result in a "Faces of death" style video
Would be a great idea to let current or old F1-cars drive that exact same event. I'm sure they could be set up to be able to ride there?

The best bikes are heavily modified and much lighter than stock, but still at least 360 lbs(WSBK's are this light, but only a couple of the TT bikes are that light and most will be in the neighborhood of 400 lbs pounds or so.)
