When I think of much more carefull I ride when I get caught in rain... :eek:
 
No one doubts the skill set required for this...but I'm sure courage/bravery and lack of fear play their parts.... amazing riding...
 
They are true riders.

Has anyone ever seen footage for the Macau TT? These guys have to change their helmets after each race as they actually wear the RHS flat as they go around the armco they rub their helmets up against it for a reference point. That is scary.

Thanks for posting clip.
 
Awesome skills and pure insanity racing to the limits of man and machine!
What's not to like?

Love watching me some TT!
 
The onboard video shots are like watching a video game.. these guys are sick riders with balls the size of coconuts. To ride like that in that environment you need to be fearless or have no regard for your personal safety. Unbelievable how these guys come off those turns within inches of solid stone walls like that.
 
Lucky enough to go each year, the speed and commitment is phenomenal. Probably more impressive than the original clip was a few years ago in the Supersport race, it started raining, all the top guys backed off, except Michael Dunlop who carried on as if it was dry! Passed the others like they were standing still, absolutely incredible to watch.

I'm jealous... I told my wife that in the next couple years I want to plan a trip to see the Isle of Man TT and she thought it would be cool. I think she just likes to travel and shop:)

Hope she's into bikes, not much shopping on the Island! Definitely worth the trip if you like road racing though. Absolutely love thrashing the Panigale over the mountain too :)
