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.

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!
