I've seen mention on the forum of the Isle of Man slow motion footage, with lots of people saying that they don't have access to the channels to watch it.

Here's a taste of what was shown. 

What can I say - perfectly set up suspension mixed with balls of steel, and very well captured by high speed video.
There are so many cool things in this video - at 1min51secs the "maximum commitment" left hander with both tires off the ground as the guy nears the apex is WILD...!
The little black bird...
The flames...
The wheelies at 160mph (many guys now have a little rear brake lever at their left thumb to bring the front wheel down if they have to)

My new favourite Youtube video Isle of Man TT 2009 - New Feature - Slow Motion Camera!

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

It's amazing how much the bikes flex, and that they can recover from going airborne at 140 mph! applause

sweet clip. Im pretty sure I'd crap myself with those bumps in mid turn, much less when both wheels leave the ground leaned over.

I haven't caught that much air on my dirtbike  bow down

That's what I was thinking.  How the hell do you go airborne and come down right into a turn?  For that matter, how the hell do you not lose it when you're on one wheel and it gets super squirrelly?  That scared the hell out of me just watching.
