Wanna go for a ride?

Words can't describe this any better....not sure if it'll work over a slower phone connection....but it's amazing what some people do for a living....

Oh yeah! That will get ya going. Watching that makes me want to go for a ride.

Hell of a High-side; I hope he didn't get hurt too bad.

Pretty sweet video-wow!.

Perhaps you'd enjoy this one too.

360 days a year these roads are public roads. For about a week they close the entire island and create a 37 mile per lap race track. Every year there are fatalities....this place is the balls-to-the-wall, peak, ultimate contest of man verses machine. You will never see racing like this anywhere else.

Once again a phone line conection won't do this video justice.....

Pretty cool, Motokid. I would be interested to know just how fast those riders were going.

Years ago my Mum & Dads best friends were a married couple who used to sidecar race, they did the TT a few times, and lived to tell the tale!

"John McGuinness 1000 Yamaha R1 2004 17m43.8s 127.68mph"

That 127.68mph is an average speed for the entire 37+ mile lap.

These bikes are more than your typical production bikes which off the showroom floor are capable of 175+ MPH. I'm sure the top speed pushes 200mph....on public roads with walls, guardrails, telephone poles, houses, curbs, trees, mailboxes, fences, rocks......and spectators...

From the Top Gear Winter Olympics special; fun with ski jumps. First they stick ski's on a mini, fit rockets to the back and fire it off the jump, then they get their test driver 'Stig' to ride a ski mobile of the same thing...The BBC, once again fulfilling it's mandate to educate and inform...
