I’m going to keep this short. This video speaks volumes about Isle of Man. Awesomely put together. There is a lot of passion that fuels these riders, and each of them deserves a trophy simply for the attempt at the course.
Enjoy.

There are a ton of Isle of Man videos out there. But it seems they are either highlight reels or crash reels. Sure it’s exciting but it leaves wanted more depth of the event. This is one of the first video’s I’ve seen that does just that. It’s not hard to see that each one of these riders are absolutely out of their minds, which makes then the bravest people in the world. I mean just look at the speeds they are hitting on public roads. Seriously want to go to see this race in the very near future.
Check out the videos. It’s an awesome watch
I always love posting videos about the Isle of Man race. It’s such an amazing, thrilling, and shocking race. So much that can go wrong, so much risk. This is something I must experience, multiple times before I die. So sick!
One one hand I’m glad the Isle of Man TT hasn’t reached world wide popularity, but sometimes I wonder why. I mean it’s the ultimate test of man and machine. You have the ability to spectate inches away from riders and have miles and miles of road to spectate from. It’s a beautiful island filled with death defying motorcycle riders taking their bikes to the edge. Why isn’t this more popular? Anyways I stumbled upon this GREAT video of the experience and had to share. Really enjoy it. It’s a beautiful video.
I usually wouldn’t post something like this up, but this crash reminds me of Isle of Man. It shows how brave these riders are to go full lock on these street courses. It says in the comments that the crashed rider “only” suffered a broken arm, which is why I didn’t mind posting it. It must have been crazy riding through a flame.
So Isle of Man is this weekend. For those unfamiliar with it, it’s a Superbike race held held in an island that is basically closed down for the weekend to hold this race. this to me is the most extreme form of motorcycle racing. I mean one wrong move is ANY of the turns on this “track” and your dead, or near it. The video below is of Guy Martin running the track and talking us through it. It really show how crazy the track is and how crazy you have to be to race it. The opening song is really fitting, because you surely have to be insane to race here. The most respect to those brave enough.
The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy is by all means the most exciting and most dangerous race course ever. This is definitely on my to do list before I die. This is run by the Superbike racers, and these guys go all out! Narrow streets, crazy elevation changes, top speed runs, and its all done on regular streets! There is no other race you can go to where a rider can pass by you at 160mph+ and only feet away. Its absolutely nuts! Any Superbike rider that survives this course has all the respect he wants from me, as it takes mucho balls. This video really shows how crazy the course is. So enjoy!
