Not sure what's scarier, seeing it at speed or on slo-mo? Either way, those guys have balls.
Great video footage. waytogo

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man.
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key,
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey.

I still didn't comprehend how fast these guys were until seeing the lap times... Even looking at an AVERAGE lap speed of 130 mph, its easy to think "I have gone (almost) that fast before..."  But looking at covering a 36? mile course in 17 minutes  Shocked Damn.

that is the most incredible motorcycle riding i've ever seen.  bow down

one of my new dream rides is the route of the TT (of course a HELL OF A LOT SLOWER)

adding that to Nürburgring and hockenheimring.

Amazing footage. The one rider was lucky he didn't target fixate on that bird.  laughingdp

Also the champagne seen was a little disturbing.  Tongue

Simply amazing.  Can only imagine what that's like to see up close and then get to ride the course on your own bike....

if you guys ever go to the tt, you can do a spectator lap.

if course, you can also just go to the isle and ride the loop.

the spectator laps, however, are much faster.  Evil

I've seen mention on the forum of the Isle of Mann 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...!
My new favourite Youtube video

My new favorite video too.

Holy cow - that corner at 1.51 is just terrifying... and that guy just keeps on pushing. The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up! applause
