Isle Of Man TT

[White Knight]

So what do you guys and girls think? I have been following this for years and I tell you this is something I want to see sometime in my life!

I would love to see this in person, I also would like to grow big enough balls to participate.

i'll never have the balls to ride it, but seeing it would be an unforgettable experience. May be one of these days we can get together with a tour company have have a md.com trip.

shit most of the pros arent even interested in this event.......its fucking dangerous.

My only problem with seeing this in person is you only see a tiny section of the race.

I love the tv for races like this. Although would love to be there when those idiots are jumping 100ft

not sure what you mean by most the pros are not interested, has its own huge road race following.

used to think I would do it, now I know I wont. would never see in person as stated its better on TV, course I feel the same way about all sports.

would like to participate in mad sunday though

[silent_r1]

I would TOTALLY love to participate. I have the balls, I just don't have the talent to match and for some stupid reason, my self preservation instinct really starts to kick in if I don't have the skills to back it up.

I seriously can not think of anything better. This and the Irish roadracing.

I actually polled most of the pros when I worked with them and they all kind of said the same thing..........no thanks, too dangerous.

Here's some incredible slow-motion footage from the IOM TT that I found on that other motorcycle site.

To me, this is far more interesting and impressive than MotoGP. I don't know, in some ways, MotoGP is just like NASCAR with a few more turns. Ok, not really, but it's still just going round and round on a track.

Quite a few other videos on that site.

I would love to go see it but figure its just one of those things I probably will not get to do.

That slow motion vid was pretty amazing to watch. You can watch it at full speed and never notice how the bike is affected by the bumps and jumps because it goes by so fast.

I agree, rossi is very interested in this course, mainly because its still THE course, and of course he can never be seated next to agostini until he has won outside of GP as well.
Amazing course, riders with balls so big they clank or brains smaller than mine
